Me and fandom news.

avrelia1) I am mildly sad about canceling the Buffy reboot. I am fine with the seven seasons of BtVS and don’t really need more of it. I read some comics, the Spuffy part of it, mostly, and picked some of it for my personal headcanons, but overall I didn’t care about comics as canon continuation.
But I was curious when I learned that SMG was on board, and will appear as older Buffy. Because I love Buffy and I wanted to know how she is doing, and I trust SMG.
Oh, well. I hope SMG gets a project that doesn’t get cancelled.
2) I don’t care about Firefly animated reboot. For one main reason – it is supposed to fit in the canon timeline between the original series and the movie. So it is only going to be a few of missing scenes, basically that will bring us to the story already told, and I am not interested in it. Ditch the movie and go wild! The movie had a very specific purpose, to give a bit of closure and to tell the story to a bigger audience. Now they could concentrate on telling another story. Go to the parallel universe, go after the movie. Bring Wash back (or don’t), kill Jayne instead. Or don’t. Bring Christina Hendricks’ character of many names and many wiles.
As it is announces, it is just not something I want.
3) on the other hand, I am looking forward for the Last Airbender, Adult Aang movie. It seems we are finally getting some information about it, the release was postponed several times, and then they decided to skip the theaters entirely, but I want to see it. And the posters with character designs are in.
4) re-watched Lockwood & Co with my son, and I am still upset about cancellation of it. Could have been an awesome cultural event, if it got a bit more care and attention from the Netflix. Alas. Maybe the story was too anti-capitalist for it?
5) I am also still upset about canceling The Wheel of Time, just as it got really good. I didn’t expect it to run for 12 seasons, but I hoped for more than three. The production was lovely, and casting was amazing, and everyone had just settled in the world and the characters. Amazon had to put its money to better uses, I guess…
6) in things that were not yet canceled I watched half the season of How to Get to Heaven from Belfast, from the Derry Girls creator Lisa McGee. It is same brand of derange fun, but darker and thirty-something friends. Will finish, of course, I loved it, but realized I can’t binge it. Too much. (on a separate note, why won’t they release Derry Girls on Dvd? I would buy some expensive fancy edition gladly!)
