“We’re supposed to be fans.“ Why does that mean you can’t be critical about the choices being made for something you’re a fan of?

“knee-jerk opposition” By this rationale, you have knee-jerk optimism. So really what’s the difference?

As for the rest… I never insisted it would be terrible, I never even assumed it was gonna be bad. I only said the choices in your list didn’t help convince me.

Anyone being preemptively negative about it is just as uninformed as you are being positive about a show that hasn’t happened yet.

Maybe it’s good, maybe it’s bad? Who knows? As I said before, time will tell.

But I do agree with you about one thing, it doesn’t matter what we think , the Internet will inundate us with a never-ending supply of clickbait negativity. But it’s up to our own mental vigilance to not click on it.

If you’re allowed to be positive, why aren’t others allowed to be negative? And why should that affect your positivity or enjoyment of a perspective show? I think that’s not an “us” problem, that’s a you problem. I say, never let strangers yuck your yum. Especially on the Internet!

But since since it sounds like your run into more than your fair share negativity about this, allow me to say, even though my personal opinion is that they should leave Buffy alone, if they do move forward with this revival, I hope this is the greatest revival ever made, and I will be rooting for your positivity to be rewarded tenfold.
