Sarah Michelle Gellar’s Goal Is to “Bring Back Everyone Who Has Died”

Michelle Trachtenberg

Sure hope Michelle over-succeeds.

That's so sad 😔

Could you have maybe worded that a bit better Buffy?

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

It's a show about vampires and undead, feels like it's worded just right.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

ssɐqɯnᗡ is likely referring to the fact that Michelle Trachtenberg is ACTUALLY dead in real life. That takes it from awkward to REALLY awkward.

iirc they decided to do the reboot after Michelle Trachtenberg died.

I'm not going to speculate about it, but I'd think that Geller and Trachtenberg were friends and I do know that Geller has resisted doing a reboot for years.

I don't mean the REBOOT is awkward.

I mean her WORDING is awkward.

She could've gone with something like "I want to find a way to get everyone we can back on the show."

How are people not understanding that? It was obvious from the very first comment.

Since Whedon doesn't seem to be involved, maybe Tara will actually come back this time.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Did he stop Tara coming back?

As far as I know she has never said who it specifically was, just that there was a person who made her not want to come back(after a huge fan push to revive her, among the many possible moments).

It has later been revealed by multiple people across several productions that span decades, that Joss Whedon is basically a "good old boy". The kind of guy who finds it funny to mock women. He allegedly has retold a story he found hilarious, about how he made a female writer cry, twice. That sort of behaviour was "confirmed" to happen by by multiple cast members, including SMG. And it is likely why he has no involvement in the new show.

Ahhhh that figures. I wonder if he wrote her death because of it

I don't know all the details but I've seen the word 'monster' associated with him

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Unsurprising. Joss Whedon was a creep and like attracts like, figures he'd hire people that would let him get away with shit

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

From what I remember, yes. Lots of drug issues and also I believe creeper status as well if not outright predator.
