So ... this sounds serious this time ? Still no Joss though. Whats the point of Buffyverse without Joss at least supervising ?!?!?!?
Also, I have a very hard time to believe I will ever accept anyone but Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy. As far as I can tell, she never did anything else really well, but she nailed Buffy hard.
Also, why didnt they just do Firefly ? At least that show would have potential. Firefly was brutally cut short.
While IMHO Buffy is done, and done extremely well. No way you can do it better. Its like covering a Beatles or Stones song: sure you can do it, but its unlikely that you'll reach the original. (Cue "Wild Horses" by the Sundays from "Buffy the vampire slayer" S03E20 "The Prom")
They probably should have kept Buffy running for some more seasons. That would have been great. If "Married... with children" can manage 11 seasons, easily, why couldnt Buffy as well ?
JoeCovenant:
Latest I have heard is that Firefly II has been given the green light...
( think I made a post about it in here....)

IIRC, Buffy ended because SMG wanted to quit.

Honestly, there is a lot that could be done better with Buffy, especially without Joss. Buffy for all its strength was till rife with misogyny, some really piss poor takes on homosexuality, and fucking Xander. It is very much a 90's show with all the toxicity that entails. Joss Whedon only seemed like a feminist when compared to every other dude at the time. He never evolved past that time period, never educated himself further. Suffice to say, I have a lot of complaints about him and the stuff he's made. 90's woke isn't woke at all.
TheEvilDog:
Joss Whedon is a very.....divisive person.
Which is to say that he should not be left near any sort of production ever again. He's got a very small bag of tricks that he dips into simply for the shock value. Except he's been doing this for 20+ years that its tired, cliched and just plain boring. And that's not getting into how he treats female characters or homosexual characters.
He's just not good. In fact, he's kinda shit.
