    I'm mostly surprised at how much anti-twilight sentiment there is when Buffy gets treated with reverence and we have stuff like "Wot if the archie characters had sex and did a murder" as a succesful multi-season show.

      I'd guess that the hate on Twilight compared to those other stories is a function of popularity. Twilight was huge and overexposed; it culminated in a series of big-budget movies. Buffy wasn't nearly that big -- it wasn't on a major network and was overshadowed by some of the last real monoculture shows (e.g., Seinfeld and Friends). The Archie remake is even lower profile.
