Agreed about the characters, Faith agreed far too easily. The orginal characters neither look or act like themselves. I am not sure about the story either. I have been left with the impression that Joss, and others, are more interested in playing with comic books.

They can afford a cast of thousands, all over the world, and special effects. Cos it is all in a comic, and only needs the artwork. That is what is spoiling it for me. They are not interested in characters or story, just what playing with comics allows them.

Joss has a new sand-box, and thinks the sand it better. It isn't.
