S8 Comic Writers: Let's make this super awesome story with hot chicks with super powers who do stuff--sometimes with each other, and often without so much clothes--and epic battles with apocalypses and big monsters and lots of explosions. BOOM! No effects budget in comics! And wow! Won't the fans just go CRAZY to see Buffy and Angel--the ultimate star-crossed lovers--finally together again!! They'll love it!!!! Plus, Buffy naked, lots. Heh.
Fandom: Glowhypnolation = rape, actually, not harmless fanservice. Less of that is more. Plus, can we please have a solid plot, recognizable characterization, and situations that emotionally resonate with people who aren't super heroes?
S8 Comic Writers: Simmer down guys! Come on, space frakking! BOOM!! Buffy can fly! Plus it can't be rape. We would know, we wrote it.
Fandom: ...
Fandom: Who are you really?
S8 Comic Writers: *pulls off masks* You are too clever for your own good, Fandom. You are correct. We are the Trio! Now you must buy Season 9 or pay the price! Or something! Good-bye for now! *boom* *the Trio disappears in a cloud of smoke the appearance of which seems to indicate a limited effects budget*
