Yeah, I wasn't onboard when I heard that they were rebooting the comics and putting them back in high school with a Gen Z-twist or something like that. Because really, what's the point? I never understood why anytime something is remade they want to go, "but we're remaking it for modern audiences!" as if audiences now cannot understand something from the 90s or even further back. It makes it seem like they think that younger audiences are stupid to not understand something that predates cell phones or social media.
And all of this, to change their personalities and such, makes it seem super pointless. Their personalities in the original shouldn't be changed whatosever, even if you are "updating" it in a reboot for a modern audience. It just reeks of someone who never watched the original series or understood the point of their character arcs in the first place. It's so...OOC, it's like badfic when you read the descriptions of the changed personalities just to make it more fitting for whatever narrative them want to spin.
Idk. I was never really into the comics in the first place, aside from the one-shots like Fray that I thought were super cool. So obviously I'm not going to read or care for these, nor am I going to consider them part of canon (because they aren't). Just, ugh, why can't they leave things alone? I know that BTVS is still super relevant and people are still getting introduced to the show and such, which is great, by still why is this reboot comic even necessary?
