discussion Buffy the Vampire Slayer + Angel (aka Buffyverse)

[Josh]

Some of the best TV i've ever seen. Who are your favorite characters on both shows?

Edited May 30, 2022 by Josh

Still the greatest show of all time 

 

Buffy is my favourite character (not just on this show, but in general). I'll give J*ss some credit for creating her, and he is a good writer and director (still a **** tho) but Sarah was perfect for the role, and we know she worked her butt off.

 

HM for Giles (S1-5), Cordy (S2-3) and Harmony. Xander and Kennedy were the worst.

 

I never got into Angel. I thought it was boring and had to force myself to watch it. I tried to rewatch it a few years ago hoping my mind changed about it, but I gave up halfway through S2 

 

Happy 25th Anniversary!!!

I don’t think i will ever forgive Eliza Dushku for choosing “Tru Calling” a show that bomb hard instead of a Faith spinoff series which would’ve lasted 5+ seasons. 
 

And the WB for canceling Angel when the rating was begging for a 6th season.

Faith the Vampire Slayer would have been everything. Tru Calling bombing at season 2 was karma. Also the only reason why The WB cancelled Angel was cause Whedon wanted an early renewal before the season even began airing.

Yes the global Phenomenon ?Trend-Setting Iconic Legendary Classic? One of the greatest works of Pop Culture of the Late 20th Century 

 

Willow is my favorite character followed by Buffy, Anya & Spike.

And he should have been given one.
 

Buffy & Angel saved that network. It was the reasoning for the explosion of super natural shows that came after it. 
 

The show was not anywhere near rating under performance & the show was a veteran series at that point.

The whole concept for the series was made & they were ready. They just needed her on board. She didn’t want to be type cast was faith….. girl just be thankful your known for something.

Faith was also supposed to have Spike on her side. It was gonna be the Buffyverse version of Supernatural. Faith & Spike fighting evil while on the road on their bikes.

A useless boring monotone self-centered loser with no self awareness who served absolutely no purpose whatsoever on the show 

 

the only good thing he did was telling Buffy to run after Riley (the only man buffy deserved to be with)

Buffy and Angel deserved the Arrowverse type of franchise. the Buffyverse had so much world exploring; we could have gotten

 

a Giles prequel when he was Ripper

a Faith spin-off

a Spike spin-off or a Spike movie (which was planned in 08)

Somebody hold me how we were screwed over.
 

The actor who played Spike was so down. He still talks about it & was willing to play Spike up until i think 5-10 years after the show ended for aging purposes.  
 

That ship has sail unfortunately

That's why we have that random Spike and Faith scene when they're in Spike's basement in the last few episodes of season 7. The crew wanted to test out Spike & Faith's chemistry. 

 

Faith, Willow and Spike were all potential characters that the WB wanted for Angel Season 5.

I think money is standing in the way

The closest we came to a third televised project was Buffy the Animated Series, which had a 3.5 minute sample scene made to pitch to networks, and 7 completed scripts.

 

Still hoping that they'll at least release the scripts in some form someday.

I have. It’s been a while though.

 

I recall one of them being extremely hard. The one where you play as the other characters? Always died as Willow.

Buffy was soo massive that video games was made from it that’s insane. 

[Power love]

I’m starting to think the Reboot with a black Buffy has been cancel or scrapped. 
 

There’s been no noise or news since 2018.

[kweenofxanax]

BUFFY is my No. 1 

 

I also love love me some Willow, Giles and Anya (also Dru). I can’t stand Xander. Season 2-3 is just so nostalgic for me and nothing has beaten it ever since. I play Wild Horses once in a while just to remember.
 

Who is everyone’s favourite big bad? Glory for me 

[IlianVargas]

Giles

Xander

Jonathan
