*REBOOT IT MERCH IS AVAILABLE NOW:* http://tee.pub/lic/L2Fboy63Wa4
The Reboot Crew has hit the end of our job-seeking tour of Hollywood. Our last hope? The one meeting we didn't want to take...With the nicest guy in town. The simple, uncontroversial, crowd-pleasing filmmaker whose unique vision is the bleeding edge of cinema. (Isn't it?!) Yes, the Crew finally comes face-to-face with Zack Snyder, and he's rebooting the most obvious choice: Joss Whedon's Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Alleged toxic garbage person Joss Whedon wasn't always best known as the uncredited writer/director of 2017's Justice League. Before masterminding Marvel Studios' The Avengers, he was a simple TV showrunner with a dream: To mash up urban fantasy, teenage angst, slyly provocative sexuality, TV-budget superheroics, and self-aware trope-busting in an era when television had never heard such nonsense. The result was Buffy, a show which defied convention, set fandom on fire, created its own TV genre, and elevated Joss to the level of Nerd Jesus. Ah, the nineties. Such a simpler time. In a brand new millennium, where the entire landscape of entertainment has been remade in Buffy's image even as her creator has fallen, fandom's new golden boy steps up to the plate for a crack at the mother of all nerd reboots. What could possibly go wrong?
