i'll wait to pass till the word is final. I don't think they'd waste the time and money to make a motion comic if most motion comics are lame and know will upset the fanbase. It's FOX. Their life's work is upsetting fanbases. I couldn't agree more Why Joss keeps going to FOX is a mystery to me. In anycase I will keep my fingers crossed.

If its a motion comic i think it will sell badly. From what i've read on fan reactions, it's not wanted. I think we should make this clear to fox and joss. We want an animated series.
And yes, I too spit on the idea of motion comics.

OMG, this is really happening!! Too bad it will probably be a motion comic, and I also HATE them. They're stupid, boring and completely pointless....

I'm too lazy to search back and read every page, but is it for sure for sure just a motion comic?

Ya I saw that too,but I don't think they said specifically on Werther it was a motion comic or not. Unless it was already confirm. By the way what exactly is a motion comic?

Take the panels from the comic books and animate them to indicate the actions and how they move from one panel to the next. ...It's not easy to explain.

Since it most likely will be a motion comic, I decided to watch a few, and some of them don't even have voiceovers, just the actual word bubbles/narrations popping up. I'd actually prefer that if FOX can't get the actors. I won't be spending my money if other people are voicing the characters, but I'd probably consider it if it's just the lettering.

Not a fan of motion comics, but if it's just words bubbles popping up, why would anyone bother throwing down cash for it? That's just unfathomably silly to me.

The animations can look pretty cool sometimes and hopefully they'd use music from the show. I'd much rather read and hear the actors in my head than listen to strangers. I think that'd make it at least worth seeing, but I'd still prefer to just read the comic book instead.

Guys... Even if this is just a motion comic, we still might want to support it. It failing would lead to nothing but bad repercussions.
OK, granted, its a motion comic so it won't sell just stellar numbers anyway. But if it doesn't sell it could either...
A) Make Fox think that Joss Buffy isn't wanted any more and cause the reboot to kick into high gear. or B) Make them think Buffy isn't a seller anymore which would cause everything Buffy (Joss and non-Joss) to be put on hiatus.
But at the same time, I wonder if perhaps the preview on Bones s4 is really just an add for the comics even though they've been out for over 2 years. I could see something like that happening.

As far as I'm concerned, S9 is pretty much a done deal. Joss has already sketched it out, Allie has gone so far as to report that much, and Jeanty has expressed interest in continuing, though he's not committed to the project yet. The S8 comics are selling very well, so I don't think anyone is under the impression that the Buffy franchise is done for, even if the motion comics don't do well. Also, should the Kuzuis barrel on with their "reboot" or whatever the heck it is they have planned, I doubt the sales of the motion comic will be a determining factor. In fact, one could also argue that interest in the motion comic may be (wrongly) construed as interest in anything that shares the franchise name, and thus, the Kuzui reboot may gain momentum.

Fox has nothing to do with the reboot movie, anyway.
I'm not sure supporting the motion comic would tell Fox anything other than, make more motion comics.
Considering a talented kid in his bedroom with Cinema 4D and a few friends to provide voices can produce a credible animated movie, I find it mystifying that major media companies are wasting time with this kindergarten stuff.

The kid doesn't even have to be talented, lol. I agree making a motion comic would be a waist. It's sorely easy to achieve, and there's no animation involved. Just a nitpic, but motion comics invovle no actual animation >.<

We could always tell them that we don't want a motion comic. We have the fanbase power.
