How bad could it have possibly been? Disney churns out slop all the time, and Buffy is a huge IP with a built-in fanbase

They wanted to use it as a vessel to promote teenage sex and degenerate behavior, so it was troublesome that the casting department had actually cast actors under age 18.

VTM based adaption would be cooler but sadly they would make it gay and lame

Probably cancelled for two reasons. One, Geller trying to micromanage shit and get another bite of an old apple. Two, underage characters being sexualized in the wake of Epstein. Imagine being a television studio putting out a 16 year old being creeped on by older guys, which you know she would be. Not a good look

It wasn't canceled, it just wasn't picked up. Disney ordered a pilot and they said no after seeing it.

Things aren't degenerate behavior just because you missed out, tardlard.

The lead actress told the production she didn't want to date niggers on camera. That's why the show was cancelled.

The problem with doing Buffy is that the tone and style are very specific to it. Any hack can do a mid reboot Supernatural or Grimm but if you fuck up the feel of Buffy the whole show falls apart. So the question is, did the show feel right?

That makes no sense. Her love interest was White, and she’s half black herself

The stated reasons were that the lead was too young (which made it seem like a kids show), Zhao was a bad fit, and it was too expensive. The pilot cost 12 mil

Every time they fuck up a beloved classic, their cred gets lower and lower. Somebody with half a brain finally figured out that they're STILL slitting their own throats.

Being good or bad has nothing to do with it. Disney greenlights plenty of shit tier shows, in fact, most of the shows they greenlight are shit. If we are to believe SMG, and i believe we should since she was the one with the most to win and lose from this, the show they were making was a continuation of the story, something built over the old show while bringing a new slayer for a new generation. Which honestly was the way to go.

Disney probably wanted something different, something that didn´t require people to watch 7 20+ epsiode seasons plus 5 Angel 20 episode seasons, but that still used SMG as the hook. Suits only care for the business side of things after all. Allegedly the project was shelved because suits didn´t see what they wanted to see, which was nostalgia bait.

They seem still committed to making a Buffy show though so now things can only get worse. They are probably thinking of going the full reboot route. Something most fans don´t really care about but with more potential to attract newer audiences. Maybe that´s for the best, at least that way the original show runs no risk of being ruined.

Disney recently fired a bunch of staff. Disney are worried about the overall direction of their brand. The problem with the show was it was too politically woke in many ways with the tone.

degenerate
adjective

1. having lost the physical, mental, or moral qualities considered normal and desirable; showing evidence of decline

Sorry but not having and promoting teenage sex is literally degenerate; as in actually destructive to humanity.
Anyway something huge must have happened that they want to bury because these companies have done nothing but produce garbage for 15 years so this can't possibly have been bad enough to cancel outright.

with the amount of awful television that gets put out i really have to wonder how bad it was

>>219819822
It was cancelled because the star was a nightmare to work with.

It is a tradition that when a new CEO is brought in, he/she cancels almost everything that was greenlit before their tender.

See Zaslav canceling so many movies and shows.
