To celebrate the 20 years of the series, the cast of Buffy: The Vampire Slayer was reunited along with series creator Joss Whedon, to talk about the series impact in pop culture, their lives and possible plans to the future with Entertainment Weekly.

“It is the ultimate metaphor: the horrors of adolescence manifested as true monsters,” says Sarah Michelle Gellar, who incarnated the main character, Buffy Summers, who refers to her high school years as “the most difficult of my life.” Also, during the reunion, some of the members spoke about bringing the series back to life, although not all of them think that that could be a good choice.

Alyson Hannigan, who portrayed Willow Rosenberg, thinkg that “we should do the Buffy cartoon,” while James Marsters, Spike in the Buffy-verse, was clear when he stated that “if Joss is helming it, then hell yeah. If not, then hell no.” Charisma Carpenter, who was Cordelia Chase, was more possitive: “I think the fans would just go crazy if something like that would happen. It would just make so many people happy.”

However, the protagonist, Sarah Michelle Gellar, the vampire slayer Buffy Summers, doesn’t think alike: “At a certain point, when things are magical, you don’t want to go back and Godfather III it—right?” she joked. “I’m sure the fans are incredibly disappointed to hear that answer, but I think they’d be more disappointed if we created something and it didn’t live up to the expectation because the expectation is so incredibly high. And I love that it can live in comic form and graphic novels. There are so many worlds it can live in.”

About this, the series has found its canonical sequel on the comics published by Dark Horse Comics since 2017 with a “Season 8” until the most recent one, “Season 11”, and has been accepted by the fans of the original TV show. However, series creator, Joss Whedon, seems to think they could work on it again and that there’s more Buffy and more vampire to show and work on: “Everything sort of finds its way back somewhere,” says Whedon.

“I’ve been trying deliberately to move forward and do something a little bit different. But yeah, the great thing is everybody looks great, and the other great thing is the show is about growing up. If we did it with these guys, they’d be the age they basically are. They’d probably play a little younger because they can do that. But yeah, you’d see somebody going through their life at a different stage. It wouldn’t be like, ‘I can’t believe we’re still in high school! I wear Depends!’” comments the man behind the legacy.

Recently, we had the opportunity to witness Amazon’s remarkable rendition of the renowned WRPG series Fallout. Assuming that the initial observation failed to sufficiently stimulate your atomic curiosity,. Therefore, we have an additional video showcasing our main characters in action: Lucy, who resides in a vault (Ella Purnell), The Ghoul (Walton Goggins), and Maximus, a squire from the Brotherhood of Steel (Aaron Clifton Moten).

The group interaction is briefly observed in the two-minute film. Fortunately, for those who appreciate the trajectory of the television series, there is not a significant delay until the complete season becomes available. Commencing on April 11th, all episodes will be accessible on Prime Video, and we will be eagerly anticipating the arrival of the days.

Another noteworthy development in Fallout is the resurgence of a highly absurd modification in Fallout: New Vegas, which enables players to enlist Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst as a buddy. In light of recent developments, it is evident that the future prospects of the ongoing multiplayer experiment Fallout 76 are promising, given the substantial participation of over 17 million players since its first release.

It delves into the challenges faced by those outside the vault that are unimaginable to those inside.

Generally, The Marvels is good. It has a 59 on Rotten Tomatoes, which isn’t great, but it’s better than Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania and Disney+’s Secret Invasion. Perhaps director Nia DaCosta’s video game inspirations contributed to that.

The American filmmaker said Square Enix’s Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children influenced her latest film at a press junket with IGN. “It’s just an amazing movie, with great fight scenes and a great ending sequence with the main character being thrown into the sky by all the other characters,” she said.
Despite poor reviews upon release in 2005, Advent Children has become a Final Fantasy cult classic. DaCosta seems to agree that the film is a classic. PlayStation exclusives also influenced the Marvels.

In the interview, she said she didn’t want the superhero film to look “too much like a video game” but did draw from Sony’s biggest franchises, like The Last of Us and Horizon Zero Dawn. “For me, it was from the best games, the best stories that you get, that sort of inspires me to play, and I think inspires people to watch movies like this,” she said.

Since movies have shaped video games since their inception, it’s interesting to see the dynamic slowly changing. Now that technology and interactive storytelling are more complex, filmmakers are looking to PlayStation for inspiration.
