I saw on Bounding into Comics that a “richly diverse” Buffy reboot was cancelled or put on pause. Somebody in the comments made a good point that he wished that show had aired since a good number of Buffy fans are in the woke/sjw category they can see how it feels to have something they like get ruined. If I’m not mistaken I think this was the show that Anita Sarkessian was complaining about. Odd since complaining about her negative influence on a hobby is bad but she can complain when it’s something she actually cares about. Maybe I give her too much credit but I blame her and Zoe for everything wrong with gaming in the past few years. Or at least corporations taking her idiotic ideas seriously
To be fair I have heard the Buffy tv show was pretty good. I haven’t seen the movie either.
Where do kids have a hard time understanding what's going on with older movies? Is it because they'd be constantly whining about "where's his cell phone"? Cold War dynamics?
I mean, I never had any problem following stuff from my grandma's day, or dealing with seeing horses and buggies and kids in gingham (ugh, gross), who actually DID live a different lifestyle (more rural, enough to have a horse and a "swimming hole" that didn't burn your eyes with chlorine) .... the only thing was recognizing all the old actors Bugs Bunny made reference to (and I'm sure today's kids will have the same problem with OG Animaniacs.)
