(178) BtVS recast

[facethestrange]

Buffy the Vampire Slayer recast for ohanythinggoes





KRISTEN BELL as BUFFY




DONALD GLOVER as XANDER




AMANDLA STENBERG as WILLOW

(IDEC that she's not even 14 yet, as soon as I thought of her no one else seemed right anymore, not even Molly Quinn. But Willow did look a bit childish in S1. By S3 she would be 16 and look older. :D)




MAISIE WILLIAMS as DAWN




ANTONIA THOMAS as FAITH




NAYA RIVERA as CORDELIA

Love the graphics. And love seeing people recasting stuff. It's so fun to see.

Loving Kristen as Buffy. Don't know the guy who you would cast as Xander. Don't really know who Amandla is (other than she was in THG) but she is so cute. Maisie is such a good actress. I couldn't really picture her as Dawn but I'm sure she would be amazing. Only saw Antonia in Misfits but I think she could really pull off Faith's attitude.

Cordelia being my favorite character it would be so hard to cast.lol Admittedly though I couldn't see Naya in the role.
Of course this is your recast not mine but just giving my opinions.lol

[facethestrange]

Thanks! :D

This is mostly recast for S1 (except Dawn of course), so yeah, I can't really see Naya as Cordy in AtS. But then again, I couldn't imagine a mature Cordy when I was watching Charisma in S1 of BtVS either. :P

Dawn is my favorite character, and Maisie can be totally kickass, and dorky, and a bit vulnerable and lonely, and people she loves keep dying on Arya too, lol, so I think she would be perfect. ♥

Donald Glover is Troy from Community, you need to watch this show. :D Heck, everyone needs to watch this show!

For me it's more I'm not a fan of Naya (as for acting and such -I'm one of the few who doesn't get the praise) so it's hard for me to see her as Cordelia.lol

I definitely agree. I don't remember too much about Dawn but I definitely think Maisie could definitely pull it off.

It's on my to watch list but that thing is so long.lol

Off to check out your other recast.

[facethestrange]

I watched Community for the first time when it already had two seasons, and I thought it would be long too, but then I watched it in like... 2 weeks? Less? LOL. It's SO addictive, and the episodes are only 20 minutes long. :D

Leave it to you to put some color in your recasts. (;

Love it.

[facethestrange]

Hee, yep. "Everyone is white" always feels so frakking artificial to me. IDC that almost all tv shows and movies are trying to tell me that it is perfectly normal. ;]

Thank you! :D

I would like Buffy, Xander, Cordelia, and Dawn so much better if they were played by who you cast.

[facethestrange]

Thank you so much, that's an awesome thing to hear! :D

Great choices. I especially love Antonia Thomas as Faith. I would love to see her in more stuff.

[facethestrange]

Thank you. ♥ Me too! She deserves some awesome new roles after Misfits.

AMANDLA STENBERG

YESSSSSSSSSS

[facethestrange]

:D I want this kid to be a superstar!

[entwashian.livejournal.com]

SHE WILL BE. I HAVE NO DOUBT.

Fantastic recast. I especially love who you used for Buffy and Cordelia. I so almost used Amanda in one of my recasts. So adorable! This turned out excellent! :D

[facethestrange]

Thank you! ♥ Where did you want to cast her? :) She needs to be EVERYWHERE, hee.

[agathons-fan.livejournal.com]

I was going to cast her as Rachel in my LotS/SoT recast that I just finished. She would've been perfect for it, but there was somewhat of a time issue and I couldn't find enough pictures that I loved for it in time :(

[ciaimpala.livejournal.com]

This casting is SO great!

[facethestrange]

Thank you so much! ♥

[virtual-toast.livejournal.com]

HOLY SHIT DONALD GLOVER WOULD BE THE BEST XANDER OMFG. <3

[facethestrange]

IKR? I'm glad you think so too! :D

[nickeldreams.livejournal.com]

LOVE the Buffy and Xander recast! I don't really know any of the other actors, but those two.. Perfect <3

[facethestrange]

Thank you! ♥

[kth524.livejournal.com]

Holy cow, this entire cast is epic. Excellent choices!

[facethestrange]

Thank you so much! ♥

Ooh Kristen as Buffy would have made it all so much better. <3 (Disclosure: SMG was my least favorite thing about Buffy.) I can't even imagine the awesomeness of her and Eliza's Faith playing off each other. <3 (Faith is my favorite and she's the only one in the whole thing I couldn't possibly recast.)

[facethestrange]

Thank you. :D Faith is one of my top favorites too, maybe even second favorite (after Dawn). ♥ For some reason I don't care much about Buffy as a character, so I never questioned if SMG was right for her or not. I only love Buffy as an ~idea, of strength and resilience and whatnot.
