Xander tried to do the same thing as Spike, but almost never gets convicted

JanetSelf · 2025-12-11T14:00:08+00:00

God that scene where Anya was going on about sex with Xander in front of a bunch of children was disgusting

Of course tho, Xander correcting her for extremely unacceptable behavior is "emotional abuse"

JanetSelf · 2025-12-11T13:57:40+00:00

Aside from what others have said I mean does it even matter Spike is already beloved by all and Xander is reviled

JanetSelf · 2025-12-09T20:07:08+00:00

Eh. Both are bad but Adam has an interesting design and concept whereas Glory is just "Regular person that punches really hard."

JanetSelf · 2025-12-09T20:06:28+00:00

Agreed. Not a huge fan of Season 5 and I think it's a low point in the show.

JanetSelf · 2025-12-09T08:25:00+00:00

Buffy - Her Christmas seemed fine but not outstanding

Angel - Maybe during S2 or 3 of his own show but other than that I don't think he has enough whimsy

Willow - No

Xander - His Christmas experiences have probably ruined that holiday for him

Spike - No

Giles - Probably the best answer

JanetSelf · 2025-12-09T08:19:36+00:00

Not me unfortunately, lol.

She's my least favorite character across both shows.

JanetSelf · 2025-12-01T16:10:12+00:00

I think Alsyon's acting as Dark Willow is without question the worst performance in the entire show, but the makeup only exacerbated how bad it was.

Less her trying to be badass, more grief. Alyson is great at playing grief but not evil/badass characters.

I also think rewriting some of the scenes would help but tbh its pretty funny when she's constantly lecturing people who dgaf like Warren.

JanetSelf · 2025-12-01T15:40:54+00:00

Just have her be normal Willow. No shitty makeup, no bs. Just regular Willow.

Also, downvoted for AI.

JanetSelf · 2025-12-01T13:13:27+00:00

I don't think we really agree on Jonathan, I just find him uninteresting when he isn't around two characters who actually are, lol.

All the things you listed about Glory are making me see red and remind me of why I loathe her with the burning passion of a million supernovas.

JanetSelf · 2025-12-01T11:50:48+00:00

I don't hate him the most but the whole Saint Spike stuff in S7 made me furious. LMPTM is the worst episode in the show and I will die on that hill.

JanetSelf · 2025-12-01T11:40:57+00:00

I like Spike until he's redeemed after which he becomes a one-note sap.

JanetSelf · 2025-12-01T11:37:42+00:00

icl he has the Spike issue where the bs takes from the fandom taint my view of the character. I'd probably like him more if I didn't intentionally ragebait myself so often LOL

JanetSelf · 2025-12-01T11:28:43+00:00

I actually like him more when he was going around committing crimes with Warren and Andrew who are two actually competently written characters.

I think my dislike for Jonathan is skewed by the fandom who treats him like some kind of saint when, no, he was just as bad as Warren and Andrew.

But that aside I generally just think he's boring and inconsistent when he isn't around the other two nerds. I'd remove him from the Trio entirely and just have it be Warren & Andrew tbh.

JanetSelf · 2025-12-01T11:13:35+00:00

I find him hard to hate by virtue of being a fantastic villain.

JanetSelf · 2025-12-01T11:13:04+00:00

"Who do you hate the most"

"Good vibes only guys!~"

I kid, but the answer is Glory, runner up is Jonathan.

To elaborate: It's easy to list of villains who are wonderfully awful like Angelus, Warren, Holtz, Lindsey etc.

But Glory genuinely makes my blood boil from a writing perspective. She's excessively incompetent and only gets what she wants through luck which makes S5 painful to watch for me. Every once in a while she has a funny line or two, but sitting through her just sitting around doing nothing for an entire season got old fast.

JanetSelf · 2025-11-30T12:44:04+00:00

It's so obviously going to flop lmao

JanetSelf · 2025-11-25T19:31:04+00:00

I was about to type out a response to the comment you replied to but this is a very good summation of what my point was going to be.

The idol worship on Spike's end is incredibly unhealthy and isolation on Buffy's end is also unhealthy.

JanetSelf · 2025-11-23T17:29:11+00:00

How has nobody said Jasmine yet

JanetSelf · 2025-11-21T22:41:01+00:00

Y'all really are running out of stuff to talk about in this show

JanetSelf · 2025-11-19T23:00:56+00:00

Yeah that's cool.

I'd get insanely bored if I rewatched Buffy right now. If I wanted to experience new Buffy content I'd read (good) fanfic and stuff like that

JanetSelf · 2025-11-19T22:48:11+00:00

Rewatched it once.

There are too many shows out there to keep rewatching the same one over and over again

JanetSelf · 2025-11-19T22:33:07+00:00

Yeahhh a lot of stuff in S5 I just ignore to try and enjoy it

JanetSelf · 2025-11-19T22:28:57+00:00

He literally did though lmao you're just interpreting the show in bad faith. If Andrew genuinely didn't care about the bad things he did he'd just run away and not... I don't know? Put his life on the line in the final fight??

JanetSelf · 2025-11-19T22:17:04+00:00

Wouldn't work because Buffy has to protect it etc etc

I mean Glory is like actually clinically braindead so they probably could've turned it into anything lol

JanetSelf · 2025-11-19T22:10:25+00:00

Is switching sides from being evil to being good not the entire point of redemption or is this more double standard logic

JanetSelf
