The deadline has broken the most surprising news of the year recently: Sarah Michelle Gellar will return to restart her incredibly popular genre cultural classic from the 90s Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Details for this are still sparse, although the description of it as “the next chapter in the Buffyverse” implies that it is defined in the same world as the original exhibition. And that is a large part of why that Buffy The restart is intended to be successful: because it builds up a series that left the door open for a sequel.
The Buffy restarting after Season 7 7
Some Buffy Fans don’t love season 7, but the show stopper of a final is a large part of why this restart will probably be a hit. The entire tire of the tradition of this universe was that only one Slayer was active at the same time and was blessed with all the associated strength. In the series finale, Buffy managed to fully trigger this force and to give “potential” all over the world, which the same series of superpowers at a low level she had used to defend Sunnydale over the years from evil.
Although we do not know exactly in which direction the new show will go into, it is a pretty safe bet that Buffy himself is not the main character. In fact, it will almost certainly be a wax -like figure for one or more slayers who need instructions. Many thanks to the original Buffy Finale would make this aspect of restart sensible because we know that this fictional world was suddenly filled with young girls who suddenly gained strength overnight, which they could either transform into heroes or bad guys. In both cases, this world will need Buffy’s veteran presence, one slayer with more experience than any of the others.
Don’t make the Picard mistake
Acceptance of the Buffy The restart goes in this way, it seems that it is a better start than the next analogue: Star Trek: Picard. The Paramount+ Show was Also A revival of a beloved ensemble genre shows that everyone who loved all in the 90s and, in a similar way, sets its title figure as an older mentorf figure for a new generation of heroes. However, many Trek fans hateful In this first season because it has changed everything we love in Picard (including his hatred, androids to transform Androids into slaves) to make him in this distant figure, which suddenly has to return to the plot to go back to the day save.
From a narrative point of view, this is a great way to bring a returning character back into the action, which is why it is a safe bet that the Buffy The restart will do exactly that for our favorite slayer. However, Buffy does not have to lose her ideals and status, as Picard did. Instead, she just has to be what she was at the end of the series: only a hunter in a world in which hundreds or even thousands of others now share her strength.
It would be absolutely perfect if Buffy’s personality and morality were to be the same, but she had to ride her on a new harvest from Slayern Herid, who only want to move quickly in the language use of Silicon Valley and want to break things. At least the authors for the Buffy Restart has a lot of material that you can attract, including some killer comics that (at least at the moment) are canonical. And if the show manages to snap some other returning actors (no one has yet been confirmed), we can finally find out whether Buffy ended with Angel, Spike or someone else overall (although the Fandom, if it is Riley, may be stirred).
This Buffy fan has hope
As large Buffy the Vampire Slayer Fan of my teenagers (I joined Mailing lists To get VHS recordings before my city finally got WB!) I have great hopes for this restart. This is important because I have observed other resusions Frasier fail and I saw Picard Almost destroy the legacy of his title character before holding landing with his last season. To be honest, the world of TV neustarts is an apocalypse at the moment, but who is better than Buffy Summers to navigate it and save the world again?
