Joss is Boss, so GTFO.

Unfortuately, it looks like the Buffy reboot movie will be happening after all, much to everyone's dismay.

This has been rumored for a while, however to have confirmation that it'll actually be happening is rather distressing, because there simply cannot be Buffy without Joss Whedon involved. I'm sorry, but it's true. While sometimes certain reboots can be good and take on an entirely different entity of their own, Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a cult classic and shouldn't be touched no matter what. Besides, the entire fanbase is gonna rip this to shreds, which is why I'm laughing and scoffing at the "active fan base waiting for Buffy to return to the big screen" quote because we do, just WITH JOSS WHEDON ATTACHED TO THE PROJECT. IT'S JOSS OR NOTHING BITCHES, GET IT RIGHT! Seriously, I want to know where this "active fan base" resides and how they interpret that into new movie that deals with nothing we want to see.

I predict this to flop and fail harder than anything, because it is just utter blasphemy. Also considering the entire description of what they want to do with it, I'm fearing they'll do what Joss desperately tried to avoid in creating Buffy Summers as a character. :/

This will not end well, at all.

Have they still learned nothing? You do not mess with fandom. Fail, Warner, major fail!

Joss' reaction, on the other hand, is made of utter and complete win.

Especially the Whedon fandom. We're incredibly dedicated and faithful to everything Joss Whedon and the Buffyverse, so this news is definitely gonna cause a massacre of sorts and I wanna see this fail and flop harder than anything.

I loved Joss's reaction, bittersweet as it is. Along with some of the original cast who are also displeased and unimpressed by it. It makes me feel a little better knowing that nobody is happy with this news. Makes it more probably that it will definitely crash and burn before it even is created. Let us hope!

With fandom, Joss and the original cast pulling together I'm convinced we can make this fail hard. Warner is going to learn their lesson, the sooner the better for them.
