I wonder if the comics are still canon. Probably not?

Head-canon is all that matters. Never really read the comics but if Whedon had input I'd probably roll with that over whatever this ends up being.

I find it infuriating when they try to revive a franchise without its original creator.
I'm not much of a Buffy fan but I do recall it having a very distinct writing style and vision, which was 100% Whedon... the very existence of these characters is even all from him, yes? It's not like he was adapting any prior story. To try and pretend a new show is somehow also Buffy when it has nothing to do with the creator is absurd.

Agreed. I absolutely enjoy both Buffy and Angel, but I've got zero enthusiasm for this.

Everyone is after that "Stranger Things / Cobra Kai / Wednesday" audience.
It is why Ferris Bueller, and Goonies are getting sequels. Also why Ghostbusters will likely get one more movie.
Look at the numbers "Wednesday season 2" did at Netflix. …Damn… 50 million viewers?…you can see why.

Nobody wants to see Ferris Bueller in his 60s, wtf. But if they get Ben Stein for a scene... ya know what.. no. no. Just don't. No. No more membaberries just top guys. It's over.

Ben stein is still alive?
I used to like the Ben stein show on Comedy Central.
Edit: I wonder if the Ferris Bueller movie is about his kids, or if it is about him retiring from the workplace. Making it like an Office Space type comedy?

Well the Whedon Buffy is a continuation to the movie Buffy but in the end it matters really as a sidenote and curiosity.

Never watched Buffy..
Is it worth watching, or has it aged badly?

It's still the best TV show that has ever been made.Never watched Buffy..

The film was written by Joss as well, so Buffy conceptually is 100% Whedon, though for the show I'd credit some others like Jane Espenson, Steven Deknight, Marti Noxon, and Drew Goddard, his writers room was full of geniuses. You can CLEARLY see Whedon in the dialogue and how ensembles operate, where he is far superior to many. Too bad about his on set behavior, maybe now he has low T and can be trusted around women

I'd best get started then!
The first season is a bit rough, both writing but also just cheap looking film quality, but fortunately it's short (13 eps versus the typical 20+ for that time period) and lays the ground work for STELLAR seasons 2-3, then fairly good 5-7.I'd best get started then!
For my money Firefly is the better "Whedon Experience' but Buffy just nails high school so well in those first few seasons and then still drops damned good TV for the rest of the run. The real problem is that Buffy was so imitated by other shows that things that were groundbreaking at the time may seem tired and overused now

I had no idea so I googled it first, so if he's dead nobody has noticed just yet.

Doesn't move the needle for me. Never read the comics, just enjoyed the TV shows and was happy with that.What if they got the Buffy comic book writers involved?
The whole "its a new series, in comic form!" always seemed a bit off to me. Kinda like how Halo has all these canon books that nobody ever reads.

First season still has some charm to it. I agree that the show was best when everyone was in high school. Season 7 was probably my least favorite.The first season is a bit rough, both writing but also just cheap looking film quality, but fortunately it's short (13 eps versus the typical 20+ for that time period) and lays the ground work for STELLAR seasons 2-3, then fairly good 5-7.

Despite watching all of Buffy, I've never really watched that much Angel.

Angel has some great stuff in it. I regret selling my DVDs.

I'm pretty sure its on hulu. I know Buffy is.
Watching it on DVD would be the better experience I imagine though.

Lets not get carried away. The show is excellent and well made. Monster of the week with over all seasonal plots as well. Great cast. Many actors got their start there.
Angel the spin off doesn't get good until late, when Cordelia joins.
Plenty of great episodes.

Too late, I bought them already
The local charity shop had the set for £5. DVD, though..
I've been buying up loads of old media for a few years now, and i'd never watched Buffy. I got so pissed off with sub service's not having what I wanted to watch, I ditched the lot completely.

there are some weird things with like some special edition or uprezed versions where they did not crop some scenes properly and you can see the whole crew in a shot.
