Since at least 2018, there’s been talk of rebooting one of the most iconic cult-classic shows of the modern generation: Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Beloved by fans of numerous ages, Buffy received its own TV renaissance on streaming. This gave audiences of a new generation the motivation and the means to binge Buffy to their heart’s content. Along with a new wave of eager fans, however, comes the inevitable dogpile of corporate moguls looking to scrape a fresh set of dollars from a trendy revival.In recent years, audiences have seen a litany of remakes and reboots focused on hit shows from the past. A few examples include Charmed, Fuller House, and Fate: The Winx Saga. Something that fans can universally agree on, is that nine times out of ten, reboots are not only unnecessary but detrimental to the charm and appeal of the original. The material is often played out and unoriginal, already having been perfected by its predecessor, and bogus attempts to shoehorn in “modern” slang and social commentary come off as shallow and cringe-worthy. While it’s possible the Buffy reboot could be the next big thing, history suggests it may also fall victim to these issues.Netflix’s Fate: The Winx Saga is one of the most recent reboots guilty of this kind of half-winded endeavor to appeal to a modern audience. Viewers, especially younger ones, have criticized The Winx Saga for its sad attempts to recreate “teen culture” by having its characters speak in outdated or inaccurate slang. One of the biggest mistakes these reboots make is scrapping the timelessness of the original in favor of rapid-fire namedropping “teen” things like Instagram and vaping. Fate: The Winx Saga also scrapped the original’s message of friendship and perseverance, instead choosing to focus on contrived love triangles and edgy plot lines, including genocide and abuse.Related: Angel Let Go of Buffy in Season 1- And It Should’ve StuckRelated: Why Yellowjackets’ Melanie Lynskey Wasn’t Cast In Buffy the Vampire Slayer
