I think it is most likely a good thing as the elements I remember from the shows end just doesn't fit well into any good plot I can think of

I think it could have been done well if it had concentrated on Buffy being married with a kid now and struggling to keep her family life separate from her slayer life. Maybe a new threat emerges and Giles comes back into her life to try to rope her into it again. Maybe she worries about her daughter being ordained to be the next slayer. Maybe auntie Willow drops by from time to time.

But I don’t think that’s the kind of thing the pilot was concentrating on. From what I had read, Buffy was a supporting character, and this reboot concentrated on a new slayer. And that sounds dull to me, so glad it was canceled.
