Just-hatching Buffy Wank
The real fireworks haven't started yet, but this is probably one to watch... earlier today, Entertainment Weekly reported that there's going to be a new Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie. The hitch?

No Joss.
None of the TV show cast.
No references to the seven years of canon established by the TV show.

Apparently, the Kuzuis, who had purchased the rights to the original movie script (which Joss later accused them of ruining on its way to the screen) and remained credited producers on the TV series, have decided to remake that, and, while they're not excluding Joss from the project per se, they haven't "reached out to him."

So far we just have mounds of indignation... there's very little wanking as of yet because (a) hardly anybody's heard about this yet and (b) 98% of respondents to the article are in agreement that the idea sucks harder than a black hole.

But it'll come and it'll be juicy.

This is the damn-foolest thing ever. But oh, oh please let there be wank around this. You're totally right that it'll be utterly glorious.

Is anyone here familiar with TV Tropes' concept of "Discontinuity"?

Also, fittingly, BtVS never had a season 7. SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP IT DIDN'T!

PS: There are only three Star Wars movies, and none of them have ever been remastered.

B-but, if there wasn't a prequel trilogy, then Darths and Droids wouldn't exist to mock it while being more entertaining and making more sense.

I love the Troper Tales personal Discontinuity page. My husband and I spent part of this last weekend reading that and listing off for each othre all the things we think Never Ever Happened (Andromeda, for instance, had two seasons, and they were very good. Tyr never left, Seefra never happened, and Dylan Hunt is certainly not some kind of Jesus figure. That would be ridiculous.) I'm especially fond of the person who wrote "Heroes is awesome! Too bad they never made a second season."

Smallville only got three seasons and some assorted specials where Clark met the future members of the Justice League. I don't know where you're getting this "Kung Fu witches" stuff.

The Comic Books section is even more fun. "Chuck Austen? Write for X-Men? Wow, what a scary nightmare. Good thing it never happened."

Grant Morrison should get his own section at this point. And he's not done yet, folks!

It's a shame Bones had only two seasons. It was such a fabulous criminal procedural. Well, at least it never got a chance to become a Moonlighting-with-dead-guys type situation comedy.

Highlander! Thank goodness they never let Duncan fight any demon. That would have been silly.

... and Buffy ended after Season 3.
(I can deal with a relaunch/remake/rebuffisation. There is enough room in this world for a third parallel Buffyverse.)

I snickered at the one post that claims, among other things, that the CyberKing scene in Doctor Who never happened. Dude, if you're trying to deny something that AWESOME, there's something seriously wrong with you.

Oh Discontinuity, how I love thee!

KOTOR 2? What's that, I didn't think they made a sequel to 'Knights of the Old Republic'. Plus, wasn't Revan a female?

F-Zero did not get an anime series. No sir, never did.

Hmmm. I could have sworn Square would never make sequels to any of the Final Fantasy games....

There was never a Devil May Cry 2. The series jumped straight to 3.

But I liked the original movie. It doesn't need any mucking about.

I don't think there'll be a lot of "real" wank because, as you note, pretty much the only people who think this is a good idea are the ones who want to make money off it. Wank requires two sides, right?

I have always liked the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie much more than anything else in the Joss Whedon oeuvre. So maybe I don't really like Joss Whedon at all?
