Creador de la serie Buffy habla de Twilight - Buffy's creator talks about Twilight
Over a decade ago there was another vampire phenomenon taking over the psyche of teens everywhere. And that was "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." The story of a slayer, Buffy, falling in love with a vampire, Angel, became an instant sensation when the show made its debut on the now defunct network, The WB in 1997.
So, with "Twilight" mania taking over the world these days, how does "Buffy" creator, Joss Whedon, feel about the franchise? Long story short, he's cool with it.
"I don't get this whole vampire romance thing. I mean that could never happen. Who would believe that? It seems so stupid. I literally thought that when I created the character if Angel," he told MTV News. "I thought a vampire romance with a slayer ... people are going to laugh me out of the room. They'll never go for it. Clearly I was wrong. There's something really timeless about it. I saw 'Twilight'… there's something primal about that story. You can't get away from it. It works like gangbusters."
But, the big question is: Who would win in a fight: Edward Cullen or Angel? "I think Robert Pattinson is really cool. Angel would kick the s**t out of him. He's Angelus," Whedon said without even flinching. "There's no Edward Cullunus. He just gets shiny in the sun. Boreanaz would have him down in a heartbeat. No offense, cause he's hot."
Traducción TC:
Hace una década más o menos había otro fenómeno vampírico tomando la mente de adolescentes en todos lados. Y esa era “Buffy the vampire slayer” (Buffy la cazavampiros). La historia de una asesina, Buffy, enamorándose de un vampiro, Angel, se convirtió en una instantánea sensación cuando el show debutó en WB en 1997.
Entonces, con la Twilight-mania tomando el control del mundo estos días, ¿cómo se siente Joss Whedon, creador de Buffy acerca de la franquicia (de Twilight)?
“No entiendo toda esta cosa de romance vampiro. Quiero decir, eso nunca pasará. ¿Quién creería eso? Parece estúpido. Pensé literalemente que cuando creé el personaje, si Angel…. -- pensé en un romance vampiro con una asesina (de vampiros)… -- las personas iban a reírse. Nunca lo hicieron. Así que estaba equivocado. Hay algo eterno acerca de eso. Vi Twilight… hay algo fundamental en esa historia. No te puedes alejar de eso. Funciona como los cazadores de pandillas.”
Pero la gran pregunta es: ¿Quién ganaría en una pelea: Edward Cullen o Angel? “Creo que Robert Pattinson es realmente genial. Angel patearía su trasero. El es Angelus. No hay un Edward Cullunus. El solo brilla en el sol. Sin duda lo tendría en el suelo en lo que tarda un latido de corazón. No se ofendan, porque él es sexy.”
