Avatar: The Last Airbender was put on during that time and it skyrocketed up the charts and then Legend of Korra was put on soon after. Imagine it was Buffy and Netflix was willing to throw money at it? SMG would still be like “no thanks” (but probably a good thing because Netflix would’ve tried to reboot it with new actors and no body wants that!) I don't think Netflix will ever be able to get a hold of it as it's owned by Disney now, so it's on Disney Plus for a lot of countries.

She was never not blonde during that season, especially when Giles was around. Also, how TF did Buffy's hair grow several inches when she was dead... I get it semi-losing its colour, but it grew several inches and once showered it loss an inch or so, hahahah. Like 5x01, when Buffy wakes up in the beginning, her hair is curled, when she's in the cemetery, it's loosely straight and when she goes back to bed, it's freshly re-curled. I mean, in theory, her skin shrank and that's why hair and nails appear longer but I totally get what you're saying lol For Anya, I always get the comment as a joke to get some attention from Buffy because even though she was blonde at the beginning of the season she had a darker shade of blonde instead of the platinum blonde she had towards the end.

StarsAllAligned Posted May 31, 2023 Posted May 31, 2023 Alyson is a great actress and killed it as Willow

Alyson Hanigan and Nicholas Brendon just don’t bring much to their roles for me. I also like Emma Caulfield, Anthony Stewart Head, James Marsters, and Charisma Carpenter, but Hanigan, Brendon and Boreanaz just leave so much to be desired. I think Charmed, while not having as strong of worldbuilding or writing had a much stronger core cast. Alyson Hannigan didn't bring much to her role? She started off as a shy nerd and by the end of Season 6, she was an evil hardcore lesbian witch. Every acting range Emma showed on the show was previously shown by Alyson so let's not. The whole cast sans Nicholas Brendon was absolutely fantastic, even Dawn somehow managed to get less worse by Season 7.

Nerdy Willow, Vamp Willow, Dark Willow >>>> just look at the material in s6 or the excellent contrast in Doppelgangland. Not to mention she can carry an entire emotional scene alone on her back with ease.

It was close to the same shade; she went darker after the first episode by a few shades, and then she had the wig for one-episode, then had a major platinum look, then it went back closer to what she had at the beginning of the season. 6x01 • 6x08 • 6x22 It's just a comment that always threw me off, as if she'd gone brunette again (which I always preferred her in).

Nicholas wasn’t a bad actor either and I think he had great comedic timing when it came to the delivery of his lines. David was rough in the early seasons of Buffy but I think his acting improved greatly, especially when he got his own show, he was also great in Bones which ran for 12 seasons. I never felt like any of the characters would have benefited from being played by different actors. I won’t even dignify the Alyson comment with a response.
rrnavarro Posted June 3, 2023 Posted June 3, 2023 I keep thinking how it would have been Buffy if that girl from the pilot had played Willow instead of Allison. I think she was one of the best castings. overall I like most of the choices. just a few people that I totally can see played by anyone else, like Dru, for instance. one of my fav castings is Wesley, not only because Alexis is super hot, but also because think that the character and his development somehow defined my sexuality lol I would love to have a new version of Buffy. imagine the vampires turning to dust with the CGI of nowadays loool. I think a version of the show with 4 seasons with 10 episodes each would be perfect. they would be able to condensate some plots and adapt some things and deliver a very nice story without some random filler things
fridayteenage Posted June 3, 2023 Posted June 3, 2023 i think a remake of the show would be dumb. if they have to do a reboot, it should be with original storylines. but also, they should at least release the written scripts for the animated series at some point if the show itself is never happening. they've been sitting around for 20 years.
