NEWS: Live-Action Dragonball Pushed Up to April 8 in U.S.

Please prove how the Buffy the Vampire Slayer television series is different from the original 1988 Buffy film script in such a way that it "rips off" Devil Hunter Yohko, as you claimed earlier.

The fact that it took Joss Whedon four years to get his Buffy spec script made into a film, after being extensively rewritten by others but then restored to his original vision for the television version under his creative control, does not proves this point.

Female sidekick,

a whole family into fighting monsters,

rival slayer,

etc.

Oh, and here's an omake clip just for you.

Part of the script may have been re-written by others, part of it by him, based on input from others...That's not unusual in any industry.

Uh, Buffy had male sidekicks, plural, and female sidekicks, plural. The fact that half of her sidekicks happened to be female is not a sign of "ripping off," as you claim.

Uh, Buffy only had one "sister" who did any actual fighting of monsters. Except, she wasn't actually related to Buffy's family or much of a fighter in the first place. Next.

Uh, the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer film script had a character who trained multiple slayers.

I asked for proof, and you just repeated the same speculation.

Writer Joss Whedon says that "Rhonda the Immortal Waitress was really the first incarnation of the Buffy concept, just the idea of some woman who seems to be completely insignificant who turns out to be extraordinary."[8] This early, unproduced idea evolved into Buffy...

But one's her close friend.

Still, the rest of her entourage also shows how Buffy's an SM rip-off.

Well, Buffy's mom isn't much of a fighter either, but she does occasionally get in on the action.

I'm talking about that black vampire slayer.

Who exactly do you think Buffy's Willow is a rip-off of?

That ignores that even the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer film script had people fighting alongside Buffy.

If you're claiming that Buffy's mother (a normal, initially oblivious human) is anything like Yohko's mother (an actual potential heir as a devil hunter), please prove it.

Again, the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer film script had a character who trained multiple slayers.

Uh, this does not prove your rip-off claim, either.

I feel that this has horribly gone more than off topic.

More like crash and burn, with the survivors still in flames trying to bitch slap each other.
