Xa iindaba zaqhekeka ngempelaveki zibhengeza ukuba uJoss Whedon wayengaphehleleli nje i Buffy Ukuqalisa kwakhona, kodwa ukwenza njalo ngebhinqa elimnyama elikhokelayo, ukuphendula kwam kwakunzima kakhulu.
Kwakukho ixesha apho olu hlobo lweendaba lwalunokundonwabisa ngeendlela endingakwaziyo nokuzichaza. Buffy iVampire Slayer yenye yemiboniso yam endiyithandayo, ngaphandle kwezinto ezininzi, kodwa ayisiyiyo kuphela ukuba andinamdla wokuphinda uqalise, kodwa le ntshukumo yokwenza ukuba umkhokeli omnyama akhokele- njengoko kuchaziwe ngumhla obekiweyo -Kukuhamba nje kakubi kumanqanaba amaninzi kum. Ungandivi kakubi; ayisiquki ukubandakanya endichasayo. Ndifuna nje abafazi abamnyama ukuba bafumane ezabo yeyakho amabali.
I-Buffy Summers, edlalwe nguSarah Michelle Gellar, wayengumlingiswa owaqala ngokutsha, ephucula umboniso bhanyabhanya ka-1992 owawubonisa uKristy Swanson, kwaye kwisithuba samaxesha asixhenxe, olo hlobo lukaBuffy yayingulowo bantu banxibelelana naye kukhule ukuthanda kakhulu. USarah Michelle Gellar nguBuffy. Nawuphi na umlingisi wase-Afrika-waseMelika ongena kule ndima uya kwaziwa njengoBlack Buffy, kwaye yinto endiyifumanayo iyandikhathaza.
Ndingaba buhlungu xa ndingakhange ndiqaphele ukuba, ewe, uMonica Owusu-Breen ngumfazi omnyama kwaye uya kuba ngumboniso weprojekthi. Ukuba kunjalo yenza yenzekile, ndiyayivuyela loo nto, kuba ukufumana umboniso omnyama obhinqileyo lithuba elinqabileyo nokuba iimeko zithini na. Ke, ukuba ndinayo nantoni na elungileyo endinokuyithetha ngaphandle kwebat, yile nto. Ndiyavuya u-Owusu-Breen ngalo msebenzi. Ndiqinisekile ukuba uzobalasela kuyo, kodwa ingxaki yam yile Buffy soze ibe yeyakhe.
Ukuba ne-showrunner emnyama kunye nokuphosa umdlali weqonga omnyama ngekhe kunike ubunini kolu ngcelele kulomzimba mtsha. Ukusukela kwasekuqaleni, izakubanjwa kumgangatho ophezulu ngokungekho ngqiqweni kwaye iyakuthelekiswa nokubhala, ukwenza, njl.njl., Kwaye ukuba lo mboniso awuqhubeki nokuya kumaxesha asixhenxe, izakuba ijongelwe njengelinge lokusilela ukuzama ukuvuselela uthotho oludumileyo. Zonke iziphene ziya kuba zezayo kwaye nantoni na elungileyo iya kuthi ibangelwe yimpembelelo yeWhedon.
Kungenxa yoko le nto ndinqwenela, ekugqibeleni, ukuba oku kunye nokuzayo Utsalekile uthotho yayiziikhonsepthi zantlandlolo kwaye zingangxoli ngaphezulu kwee-franchise ezikhoyo ukuze zisebenze. Abadali abamnyama nabangengabo abamhlophe banoluhlu lwethu lwevampire ezinokuthi zilungele uhlengahlengiso. Kukho iiBhanki ze-LA nge Intsomi yeVampire Huntress , Octavia Butler's Ukujijisana (ukuba iphulukana nemicimbi yobudala), kunye Amabali eGilda nguJewelle Gomes, emalunga nemvampire eyabelana ngesini phakathi kwabasetyhini ngo-1850.
Ngaphandle kokuba umsebenzi wokuqala wabenzi bemibala wenziwe, soze ube ngowoluntu. Asisoze sitsho Buffy iVampire Slayer kwaye ayinayo kaJoss Whedon kunye noSara Michelle Gellar kuqala nokuphambili, kwaye kuthathelwa ingqalelo uJoss Whedon kunye nendlela abhale ngayo i-WOC kunye ne-POC ngaphambili, ayisiyondawo ilungileyo yokuqala.
Kwaye malunga noku, andinakuchulumanca. Andikwazi ukuba nemincili kuba sele ndinokuthelekelela yonke into ekhatywayo ngumdlali weqonga odlala uBuffy, kuba yinto eyenzekayo xa abadlali abamnyama benikwa iindima ebezisakuba zezabamhlophe.
Ndinqwenela ukuba nethamsanqa uMonica Owusu-Breen kwaye ndiza kuluxhasa olu luhlu njengoko lisiya phambili, kodwa ndinqwenela ukuba oku ibingazukuphinda kuqalise Buffy . Bekuya kuba njalo ngcono ukuba ibingumdlalo ojikelezayo kunye noMdlali oMnyama-onokuthi aqhubeke kunjalo, umboniso usaqhubeka kuphuhliso-kuba ke, ubuncinci, unokuba ngumntu wakhe, kodwa naloo nto ayifani izibonelelo njengezinto zoqobo ngokupheleleyo.
Inxalenye yam ifuna ukuba nethemba, kodwa ndisebenza kwi-intanethi.
