Wait a tic – wait a second, back the fun bus up from crazytown. They’re remaking Buffy : The Vampire Slayer? That makes sense. Hollywood is casting Lindsay Lohan in pornstar roles – they can’t even get imaginative with their casting.
Which is why it makes sense that they’d bring back one of the greatest shows to ever grace the air waves – Buffy : The Vampire Slayer. Only they’re rebooting it. Without all the charm that was able to be wretched from the characters by TV and film’s magician, Joss Whedon. Seriously. The dude was able to write Toy Story, then transition seamlessly into shows about adventurers in space. It’d be like if one day you decided to make violins, and then the next day you decided to be a brain surgeon. And you managed to kill zero people in the process of transitioning.
Whedon’s reputation around Hollywood is pretty much flawless, so you’d expect him to have a witty response to someone else taking the reigns of his beloved franchise. And he does. The highlights of which are towards the bottom.
“This is a sad, sad reflection on our times, when people must feed off the carcasses of beloved stories from their youths—just because they can’t think of an original idea of their own, like I did with my Avengers idea that I made up myself.”
Oh, Whedon. You are awesome. Beyond words.
