playwithme Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 One could argue that her career has been dead since at least the mid 00s, but I was kind of shocked to find out that r/buffy has 130K subscribers, and this show is still big with Gen Z. Is Buffy still keeping her afloat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chosensparkles Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 yes, but tbh she needs a great vehicle back, Wolf Pack actually was almost her new breakthrough but P+ getting sold and the writers strike killed it for good onto the next project miss Gellar, she's looking better than ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropez Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 She's one of those people with such iconic roles they'll always be famous. Sure she may not be in big roles today. But her legacy keeps her secure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ithinkheknowsoutsold Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Buffy is one of the greatest pieces of media to ever exist. If Buffy has a million fans, then I'm one of them. If Buffy has ten fans, then I'm one of them. If Buffy has one fan, than I'm that one fan. If Buffy has no fans, that means I am dead. Till my last breath I will support Buffy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraceRandolph Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 I don't understand why she hasn't been able to launch any sort of comeback. Buffy will always keep her somewhat relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffy will always keep her somewhat relevant. Her and her husband prioritize their children. I remember her saying they take turns — only one of them gets to act while the other stays at home being a parent. As the years went by, the acting method changed in the industry. The 1920s to early 2000's used more theatrical acting. Buffy was very theatrical with the over-exaggerated acting and slapstick comedy, hence why Buffy always throw puns after she throws down vampires. By the 2010s, the acting style changed to "film acting" — a more serious approach to emoting and dialogue. Take Vampire Diaries for instance, completely a different acting shift from Buffy, Charmed, Dawson's Creek, Smallville, etc. I'm not exactly sure the terminology but TV changed a lot and many actors such as SMG come back looking awkward in front of the camera because they're totally out of practice — not only that but SMG herself has lost her ability to act which is really quite noticeable. Hate to say it. If you don't use your craft daily, your engine doesn't run as good as it used to. My friends say the same thing about SMG. We just can't get into anything new she's done.

Ciel Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 She'll always be relevant to me, too many iconic roles under her belt for her to not be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leptine Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 'Buffy' remains one of the best tv shows that made television history along with her performance and the rest of the cast, that will forever make her remembered and not forgotten. Clearly she's not between the most popular actors currently, but I still hope that she can eventually have a comeback with the right project.

A mix of bad luck and choosing the wrong projects, not to mention when you start to collect some flops and becoming less relevant in the eyes of the industry you also start to get less interesting roles and offers. I still think a comeback for her might eventually happen, look at Brendan Fraser, it's never too late and she still is young. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
єѕℓαм Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 She will always be relevant not just bcos of Buffy but she had countless of iconic movies like IKWYDLS, Cruel Intentions, Scooby Doo, The Grudge etc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelter Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 I think she has done enough to still be talked about. Buffy and Cruel Intentions is always talked about on TikTok. Her roles in IKWYDLS and Scream are some of the best scenes, the chase scenes always mentioned. I do find it odd how her career went though. How did she not land some more horror movies, The Grudge was big. I think there is some behind the scenes thing against her and her agent is rubbish.

I understand that she prioritized being a mom, but even when she did branch out her shows didn't last more than one season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
