   Nah. She's easily replaced ... airheaded bimbos to play Buffy are a   
   dime-a-dozen in Hollyweird.  :-p   
      
   Of course, to be a proper idiotic, barely recognisable "reboot", then   
   you would need the character to be intelligent ... and for true   
   "Equality" it would have to be a male this time (and Asian, and in a   
   wheelchair).  ;-)
