SMG to star in Buffy sequel series from Chloé Zhao

[Kamen Rider Blade]

I wonder How are they going to address what happened in Angel in this?

David Boreanaz looks like a proper 56 y/o, how are you going to explain a supposedly "Immortal" vampire looking like a 56 y/o man?

I doubt they're going to waste $$ on Deep Faking him to look like young David.

James Marster is 62 y/o, there's no faking his youthful looks either.

Are they going to write them off?

We were too used to 24 yo Tom Welling playing 15 yo CK in Smallville, so yes, seeing an actual 15 yo playing a teenager is shocking indeed LOL.
Hopefully this Buffy show is fast tracked into production, I hope the new vampires are actually scary this time!

Stranger Things was pretty good for casting its young teens. The older teens like Jonathan and Nancy were played by actors in their early 20s.

But Will/Mike/Lucas/Dustin/11 were all supposed to be around like 12 or 13 and I think all the actors were like +/- 2 years of that age.

I'll never understand why some journalists have seem to have such a hard time just reporting what people say in these kind of situations, and feel they have to put their twist it like that.

The lack of basic "Journalistic Ethics" in modern media is very problematic.

There needs to be "Punishment", "Blow Back", & "Severe Consequences" for these "Dirty Journalists" who can't do a simple thing as repeat the interviewee's statement "Word for Word".

If they can't get that their job "Isn't to Editorialize, Summarize, or Spin false naratives", then there should be "Real Consequences" for them.

That includes either:
- Fines
- Bans from Journalism including being black listed.
- Jail Time if they keep defying and doing a horrible job by misrepresenting the interviewee.

They could write a scenario where the vampire's skin starts to rot

In terms of Angel. Wasn't the prophecy that a vampire with a soul would save the word and as a consequence be able to gain a human lifespan?

I'm not sure how you could apply that to both Spike and Angel to get both back though.

That would be non-sense.

It would be easier to make them "Human" and take away their Vampire Nature long time ago so they properly aged.

It's been way too long since I saw the endings for both shows.

That would be nice if they gained some human aspects and not just be "Immortal (Eternal Youth, not Indestructability)".

Having them be "Older Human-Vampire Hybrids" due to having a Soul could be interesting.

It was one of the best Star Wars shows they've done. Why wouldn't we want more? The "objective" of a show is not merely to resolve its plot; the plot is just a vehicle to tell stories about the characters and their world. If one plot is resolved, you can come up with more plots that deepen the exploration of those things.

Besides, I disagree that even the plot was completely resolved. Season 1 ended abruptly, without any denouement, so there were enough dangling threads that I'd be surprised if they didn't have plans for a continuation.

Yeah, plenty of shows have resolved introduced a new "objective" every season. I don't see any reason why the same cast couldn't find themselves getting pulled into more adventures after the end of season 1.

I don't think thribs was talking about whether Angel the person would appear in the show, but about whether the events of Angel the TV series would be acknowledged.

What I'm wondering is whether the post-finale Buffy comics will still be considered canonical, although "canonical" tie-in sequels usually get decanonized when a new TV series or movie comes along.

I think they'll split the Post Buffy/Angel TV series Comic Books/Novels into their own timeline.

It's cleaner & easier that way, this way Chloe Zhao can do whatever she wants and not be beholden to somebody else's writing & she can work with a relatively clean slate.
