Everything we do really is just a little marker on the long road to death. And sometimes thatโs overwhelmingly depressing to me, and sometimes it makes me feel kinship and forgiveness. Weโve all got the same ending to the story. The way we make that story more elaborate, I got to respect.
Joss WhedonThe first thing I ever thought of when I thought of Buffy , the movie, was the little...blonde girl who goes into a dark alley and gets killed, in every horror movie. The idea of Buffy was to subvert that idea, that image, and create someone who was a hero where she had always been a victim. That element of surprise ... genre-busting is very much at the heart of both the movie and the series.
