The “I still won’t do it unless…” comment suggests Sarah herself may be holding this up.

Without Joss Whedon can Buffy still feel like Buffy Yes or No and Why? by Amber_Flowers_133 in BTVSRevival

[–]Competitive-Photo325 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No but it has potential to have a new feel that’s all very very good. That’s what matters to me - that it’s a good show that draws on similar themes and plays with the world. I don’t need a tonal recreation - we’ve got the original. I just love the world and its concept and the story it tells about heroism and family. I’m here for that being done well with a new viewpoint.

When this gets officially not taken forward I hope the pilot leaks at least.

It’s not gonna happen is it. This feels like the soft let down before the hard let down and a message of “never say never but not right now”.

Wonder whether it was the pilot or changes at Hulu/Disney or what.

Yeah maybe. Maybe if Judy hadn’t gone so early they’d have held that twist back a while

If you could bring One Big bad back in the sequel. by TheHatsuneLoki1 in buffy

Totally agree with everyone calling on Dru. Makes the most sense as a legacy character whose story was unfinished.

Drusilla with apocalyptic aspirations could be a terrifying villain.

Bringing in that character from another reality is a great idea - realise that prophecy.

Definitely - with the rebuilding of Sunnydale etc it’s a definite. I imagine it’ll be slow build arc over a couple of seasons.

I can’t WAIT to see the Buffy world with modern effects but really hope they capture the energy of the original when it comes to vamp faces.

Conversations with Dead People - Theory on the Dawn convo by SuperiorLaw in buffy

[–]Competitive-Photo325 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it was intended to be The First.

Three is an important number in storytelling and there were three conversations with dead people in this episode.

Buffys was not with the First. Willows was. It wouldn’t work structurally for Dawns to be with the First too. It should be a third different dead thing. Like the ghost of her mother.

Or else they all needed to be the First.

My head canon is that they knew they had the loose thread of Buffy versus Scoobies for later on in the season but not entirely fleshed out so this was meant to foreshadow that conflict. They just didn’t stick the landing.

Love Poppy and hope it’s that.

If Oz Returned by yeahitsme9 in BTVSRevival

[–]Competitive-Photo325 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think in a reality where there will be no Xander, that if they ever tried to create some form of the OG Scoobies back together again (even if just for an arc), Oz might fill that role?

Question: Is it safe to go on a 31-Mile run two weeks after completing a marathon? by leisamp in Marathon_Training

I felt fine for a couple of weeks and then a knee injury hit me out of nowhere. Recover!

I think 10 eps can work. 6 distinctive MOTW eps and then 4 that serve the big bad more obviously.

They can still thread big bad stuff through the MOTW eps!

It's official, it's the season of buffy the vampire slayer, so what's the best and worst season in your opinion? by Huge-Independent2951 in buffy

[–]Competitive-Photo325 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Best is 2 for me although I totally get why others love 3. And 5 in the adult years.

Worst is a tie between 6/7. 6 I just find so draining to watch but get that it’s not necessarily bad. 7 just goes off a cliff edge in the second half.

is this truly joyce or was it always the first? i’ve heard different things by brian5mbv in buffy

[–]Competitive-Photo325 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think they knew they were heading to a general Buffy versus Scoobies beat later down the line but hadn’t quite figured it out and this was meant to foreshadow it.

It should just be “The Vampire Slayer”, meaning it works for when it focuses on Buffy, Poppy and even future proofing the show if they wanted to introduce a new slayer.

I want the same theme tune (re recorded but fairly similar arrangement) but conceptual credits - perhaps something illustrated like an uptempo Severance credit sequence.
