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.

I do find the Whedon fanbois annoying, especially when they rage about Firefly which I think is the most overrated show ever.

They are just alternate versions of him. Most of them have all the same problems he does.
Then again, fanbois of all varieties tend to be toxic, no matter what the fandom.

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.

Okay, take this with a fistful of salt, because I am not now, and never have been, a fan of Buffy, or indeed anything Joss has done.
And I also feel, in general, pretty cynical about doing anything that's already been done to death. Which - forgive my bias again - seems particularly acute in the world of US shows.
But really, if you are going to revisit something like this, would you not prefer a fresh take on it?
I totally get the nervousness that it will end up getting screwed up, though.

Ah, toxic fandom. Now there's a topic almost worthy of a thread of its very own.

There is absolutely no reason, in my opinion, of doing any sort of reboot or remake of any property if you aren't going to do something new and different with it. If you're just going to make the exact same thing a second time, why not just stick with the original? I'm looking at you, shot for shot remake of "Psyvho".

EMACS IS THE ONE TRUE EDITOR! Sorry, don't plan on starting an editor war here, but people do strongly obsess over the silliest of things, and disturbingly so
