I am not pleased at the idea of a Buffy reboot. I have never wanted a Buffy reboot but the way they're going about it is extra unhappy-making for me.

Why?

Hulu. Enough said.
Not enthused about bringing SMG back as Buffy. In my opinion, reboots often are better with a totally new cast and characters. Besides, Wolf Pack actually sucked, in my opinion. Not keen on a repeat of that.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer is so focused on Buffy the character that I don't know if you could make a BtVS reboot that wasn't about Buffy... she's literally what the show is about. However. You can see how this does not line up with my thoughts above about how all the characters should be new characters.
Thus, I do not want to see a reboot.
I'm also worried that they'll sanitize all the "darker" content, especially with the way the morality brigade is these days. The fucked up relationships and also all the whump are one of my favorite things about the Buffyverse shows.
I also fear this may re-ignite the shipping wars (as bad as they are now, they could be so much worse) especially since I've already seen people saying "It had better be Spuffy!" "It had better be Bangel!" "I will be so so pissed if it's Briley!" Well, all I can say is that if it is Briley, I'll have to watch it out of principal (but it won't be). Plus, there will be new ships which will probably give us new shipping wars.
Apparently some hardcore fans may be working on it? Which makes me worry about this.

I'm really trying to be objective about this, but I really fail to see any good come of this. I will continue to record my reactions here, and I'm definitely preparing to hide out in my other fandoms for a bit.
