It’s no secret that Joss Whedon keeps busy. He’s only juggling a bazillion projects and teasing us about at least a bazillion more. One of those “eventually” projects is a spinoff based on Watcher Rupert Giles from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Take away my Whedon fan card if you must, but I’d never heard about this project before even though he’s apparently been talking about it since 2001.
When you’ve got the opportunity to ask a guy like Joss Whedon questions you occasionally have to hit him with the hard stuff. Whitney Matheson at PopCandy did just that in a recent interview. Since Whedon knows both characters so well, she asked who would win in a fight between vamp slayer Buffy and kick-butt spy Black Widow? Because Whedon is Whedon, he answered thusly:
Talking to dead people would be a lot easier if you are working with someone who has experience talking to them. And I have to think that Buffy the Vampire Slayer has more experience than your average medium. A Ouija board is actually a step removed from her average encounter. Plus, if any trouble starts with the summoned spirit you know she has your back. It doesn’t hurt that she is pretty easy on the eyes.
