Kevin BeaumontIn other news, Hulu passed on the Buffy reboot, they didn't like the pilot. It's easy to be cynical about that one but from what I'd heard it was actually good, and weird, and got death'd by a thousand exec cuts of clueless people going "we made Buffy The Vampire What?!"
Y⃒̸̷̝̜̙ͥͥͥngmar@GossiTheDog Poor Buffy.
@GossiTheDog People who hated on Buffy, suck.
Was it peak cinema? No... but it was a fun show.
And there is the Buffyverse. That was interesting enough to get a bunch of academics to discuss it in a very serious way.
Austin Godber@GossiTheDog uh how do we make this happen
Flaming Cheeto@GossiTheDog I think maybe Chloe Zhao should stick to being really good instead of dipping toes into pop culture properties.
Bond. James Bond.I'm certain this is true.

The funny thing is, Buffy was, in fact, a very good show. It also spawned and popularized a lot of media tropes (some good, some bad, many poorly used) by other shows, and they definitely had a chance to give it some money and let it run.
I don't know what the pilot was like. Maybe it wouldn't have been good. But it does feel silly to not see what happens.
