Fans call Joss Whedon’s Buffy reboot a ‘poor representation’ of diversity

Back in the late 90s and early 2000s, teens and adults alike couldn’t wait to tune into “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.”

The show’s unique storyline and action-packed sequences earned it an 8.2 rating on IMDB and an 81% on Rotten Tomatoes. So, it should come as no surprise that Joss Whedon plans to bring back to television.

However, fans should note that actress Sarah Michelle Gellar will not be reprising her role as the vampire-slaying Buffy. Instead, the titular role, which made Gellar into a household name, will be given to a yet-to-be-casted African-American actress.

When news of this released, fans weren’t impressed with the production company’s decision to cast a colored Buffy instead of creating a whole new slayer to be represented in TV.

It looks like Whedon has got a lot to prove their sentiments otherwise!
