"to be fair, angel was the right boyfriend for buffy coming into her power. Spike was the right man to be with as she became the power," abrams tweeted on nov. 9. Hannigan, who portrayed buffy's best friend willow, sided with abrams at first, responding , "i'll vote yes to that!" before revealing her own hot take: "actually buffy should have dated willow. ".
There really isn’t a shipping debate like the one buffy the vampire slayer brings out in fans. Buffy summers had two very passionate love affairs with angel and spike. Both were vampires, obviously, but both relationships were worlds apart. To this day, it’s one of the more lively conversations you can have with a buffy fan. There are good points on both sides. And when the show ended in 2003, buffy wasn’t with either.
Villains have two distinct classifications in buffy the vampire slayer ; they're either big bads with no redeeming qualities, like the first or glory, or they're the kind of monsters who eventually find redemption, like angel and spike. Angel began as an archetypal lone-wolf hero, a vampire with a soul whose dark past as the homicidal maniac angelus haunted his memories, while spike began as a two-bit villain whose future in the series allowed him to change his violent destiny.
Warning: the following contains spoilers for angel & spike #16 by zac thompson, hayden sherman, roman titov & ed dukeshire, on sale now the boom! comics reboots of buffy the vampire slayer and angel have been more than willing to mess with the events and storylines of the original series, even turning longtime heroes into major unexpected villains. Now, the true scope of this new slayerverse has been exposed -- and the multiverse may be opening up for the scoobies and their allies.
On nov. 9, abrams tweeted, “to be fair, angel was the right boyfriend for buffy coming into her power. Spike was the right man to be with as she became the power. †this refers to buffy (sarah michelle gellar)’s highschool relationship with angel. Angel’s curse turned his soul evil once more when he discovered true happiness. That true happiness was consummating his relationship with buffy.
— alyson hannigan (@alydenisof) november 12, 2020 hannigan's comments come shortly after georgia political activist and former gubernatorial candidate stacey abrams broke down her thoughts on the buffy/angel/spike romance subtext. "to be fair, angel was the right boyfriend for buffy coming into her power. Spike was the right man to be with as she became the power," abrams tweeted, leaning more towards spike as her favored match but noting that both men reflected different points in buffy's character arc. Her analysis was widely praised by not only buffy fans, but also buffy creator joss whedon and lead actress sarah michelle gellar.
Unleashed once again, angelus joined spike and drusilla in their plot to unleash the judge. Buffy managed to stop them however, and angelus resolved to completely and utterly destroy her, having a personal vendetta against her for making him love her. He began to torture her and her friends by threatening their loved ones, and taking away things they loved-such as making necklace out of willow's fish he killed. He learned of a plot by a the gypsy woman jenny calendar, who had been sent by the kalderash to ensure angelus kept his soul. She attempted to ensoul him again, but angelus found out, and brutally murdered her.
After her efforts to flip her home state blue for the 2020 presidential election paid off last week, former georgia gubernatorial candidate stacey abrams turned her attention to flipping a different group: “buffy the vampire slayer†fans who think that sarah michelle gellar’s buffy summers belonged with angel (david boreanaz), not spike (james marsters). And it looks like she at least got the votes of the “buffy†cast and creator joss whedon himself.
David boreanaz has shared his opinion on whether buffy the vampire slayer should have ended up with angel or spike as the debate rages on 17 years after the series ended. The actor, 51, who played angel opposite sarah michelle gellar’s buffy in the hit show, is the latest star to speak out on which vampire the slayer should have ended up with.
Although buffy the vampire slayer has been around for decades, it has still remained a beloved and unique part of the pop culture lexicon. As a result, fans are still finding ways to debate about or analyze elements from the iconic series — including which character was really the true love of sarah michelle gellar’s buffy summers. Georgia politician and activist stacey abrams recently reignited the debate , tweeting about whether or not she thought angel (david boreanaz) or spike (james marsters) was right for buffy. As abrams put it, both love interests were fitting for buffy at different parts of her life — but it sounds like boreanaz doesn’t exactly see it that way.
The contentious topic for buffy fans took over twitter earlier this month when politician stacey abrams declared that, while angel was the right boyfriend for buffy (sarah michelle gellar) as she came into her power, spike was the right man for her “as she became the powerâ€. Alyson hannigan, who played buffy’s best friend and fan favourite willow, responded with: “actually buffy should have dated willowâ€, while whedon sided with abrams, tweeting: “i agree! (during squee). â€.

It is one of the great debates of late 90s and early aughts tv — was angel or spike buffy the vampire slayer‘s greatest love on the wb hit. The teenage vampire slayer played by sarah michelle gellar , 43, found her first true love in angel, the good vampire played by david boreanaz. But after the actor and his character got a spinoff, buffy found love again with spike, played by james marsters, 58. Former bones star david, 51, now says he was the real love of buffy’s life, after former georgia gubernatorial candidate stacey abrams claimed recently that it was spike.

after they spun angel off into a separate show at the end of buffy season 3, there were quite a few crossovers between the two shows. I wanted to watch the dvds in order to make sure i got the continuity as intended by the writers. I created this table as a reference for the crossovers between the two shows, and as an overall reference of all of the episodes in either show.
I finally finished season 1 of angel last night and the first episode of season 2. I watched season 1 of this and season 4 of buffy in “orderâ€, and of the two seasons, i preferred angel as a whole. Also last episode introduced the host. I forgot how much i loved lorne and how easy he made that character like ale right off the bat. I realized how much he reminded me of lucifer (tom ellis) and i love that show. I wonder if this is a subconscious reason why lol.

Buffy the vampire slayer is one of our favourite 90s teen dramas and just like most of the amazing shows from that genre, buffy experienced her very own love triangle throughout the show's seven seasons. Original series star david boreanaz, who played angel, has given his two cents on one of the most important buffy-related questions that fans have always debated who was the right man for buffy - boreanaz's angel or spike (played by james marsters)?!.
Paul archuleta/getty images a new season of “seal team†kicks off this week, and star david boreanaz was promoting the show in an interview with variety‘s “the big ticket with marc malkin†podcast. During the conversation, boreanaz was asked about a recent tweet from former georgia gubernatorial candidate stacey abrams about his earlier role as vampire angel on “buffy the vampire slayerâ€.
In la angel's p. O. Vi am in my office sitting at my desk when my son came in 'dad maybe you should go and see buffy i know you want to' connor said as he sat down 'buffy needs to find out who she wants to be with and i don't want to push her into anything' i said as i stood up 'what can i give buffy she needs someone who can give her everything' i said looking out the window. 'what makes you think spike can give you that' he said to me as he stood next to me 'dad you need to be happy and buffy makes you happy more then what cordelia did' connor said then he left i know spike can't give her everything she needs someone that can take her and alex to the beach i don't know what would of happened if i would of stayed and not have left.
For many fans, buffy really took off in its second season with the introduction of two characters. The first was spike, a wild british vamp who became a major fan favorite and eventually series regular. Joining him was his lover drusilla who had a dark backstory. She’d been targeted by angel who murdered her family and turned her into a vampire the day she was to become a nun. That drove drusilla insane and granted her visions of the future. Landau played the role nicely with a twisted humor, a childlike innocence that belied drusilla being a ruthless killer herself. She left in season three but popped up again on angel.
Angel was one of the most well-known vampires in all of vampiric history, legendary for both his savage villainy and his great heroism. Born liam in 1727 in galway, ireland, he was sired by darla in 1753, taking the name angelus, and was dubbed the scourge of europe, earning notoriety for being one of the most sadistic and brutal vampires in history. Both the master and the first evil recognized and appreciated how purely evil angelus was. He was also known as the demon with an angel's face or the one with the angelic face because of his physical beauty. However, in 1898, angelus was cursed by members of clan kalderash as vengeance for killing a member of their clan. They returned his soul , forcing him to live eternally in guilt over the countless crimes he had committed.
Functional order: fi-se-ni-fe judging functional axis: introverted feeling (fi) / extroverted thinking (te) until angel finds a purpose in his desire to help buffy, he spends decades alone, wallowing in his deep depression and sense of guilt over his evil deeds as the demonic vampire angelus. Though angel continues to go through intense emotional experiences, he finds it difficult to talk about it with anyone, even buffy. He is compassionate and advocates for forgiveness, even standing against buffy to defend faith when he believes in a possibility for faith’s redemption. Though he can be tender and reassuring, he’s also not good at sensing others’ emotional awkwardness or in responding to it. He finds it hard to open up to clients, or respond to them in friendly ways; it takes him awhile to realize that his stoicism can be “off-putting†to his clients. Rather than develop a gentler emotional tone, he changes his shirt’s color from black to white. His low te can be blunt, stating the facts at times, and wanting a “plan. †he finds it hard to ask for financial compensation for his cases, which means his agency earns very little revenue.

Angel ( david boreanaz ) – vampire over two hundred years old. He was known as angelus during the time he was causing evil across europe. He was cursed with a soul which gave him a conscience and guilt for the centuries of murder and torture he had done. Angel moves to l. A. In search of redemption.
In 1760, after cutting a bloody swath across wales and england, darla brought her new consort back to the master in london. However, angelus had no interest in the order of aurelius and its tenets of underground dwelling and tribute to the old ones. Being told to choose between her sire and the pleasures angelus offered her, darla chose her lover and left with him.
The master in the hell-mouth feels buffy has slain too many of his 'family', so he sends the three, strong vampire warriors, to kill her, but angel intervenes and they both get away. Buffy takes him home to dress his wound, sees his tattoo and learns vampires killed his parents. Even knowing the three will be killed -as punishment and as a lesson for the master's young son colin- guardian giles steps up buffy's weapons training. When angel kisses buffy, he turns into a vampire, but jumps out of the window. However darla, colin's older sister, pretends to be a school friend so buffy's mother invites her in, then bites her and arranges for buffy to see only angel holding her mother. Giles research indicates angelus is an age-old terrible european vampire, who mysteriously stopped feeding since immigrating to america. Buffy sets out to hunt angel with a crossbow, but asks first why he spared her life, and learns romany gypsies punished his cruelties by giving him a soul, and thus the.

By mark rabinowitz | march 6, 2017  | 8:52am share tweet submit pin the most frustrating thing about being a fan of buffy the vampire slayer, which turns 20 this friday, is that friends i respect still write it off, sight unseen, as some silly teen show—and when you try to explain, they look at you like you just shouted "i’m drowning in footwear!" at them, so hopefully this list will add to your ammunition. For example, i would bet that there have been more scholarly treatises and academic symposia involving buffy than any other show in tv history. Its lack of recognition by the emmys is also a schande.
26 january 2002 | by rioter – see all my reviews when angel (david boreanaz) left buffy: the vampire slayer for good in 1999, there was some concern over whether or not he'd be able to carry his own show. Certainly, the tortured vampire is a powerful character, but he seemed dependent on buffy's (sarah michelle gellar) presence, and the supporting cast seemed to be made up of the fat trimmed off buffy: tvs after the end of the high school years.
Ah, the 90s…a time of wearing your hair in scrunchies and butterfly clips, ensuring your tamagotchi was fed, and fighting for the tv remote so you could watch your favorite vampire -slaying high schoolers. Buffy the vampire slayer was such a staple of late 90s and early 00s tv. Running for a total of seven seasons from 1997 through 2003, the supernatural drama brought as much comedy as it did jump-scares. The teen angst, a love story for the ages between buffy (sarah michelle gellar) and angel (david boreanaz), and legit the first mention of “googleed†on tv. And it wasn’t just stakes doing the slaying: the show was also filled with some sassy one-liners that truly cut deep.
As far as tv-to-game translations go on the game boy, buffy the vampire slayer is pretty decent, due to the excellent cutscenes and humorous dialogue (not spoken, of course) in between the levels. They really capture the spirit of the show, even though the game's story is contrived in spots. Unfortunately, the gameplay itself is mediocre at best. Levels are small, and the variety of vampire enemies (one even has a mullet) are best described as the brain-dead undead. While you can pull out a solid number of offensive tricks, most don't need to be used. For example, when you encounter an enemy, you can't leave that particular scene until they're killed (like in golden axe ). Problem is, this creates a wall of sorts on each side of the scene. Simply back the enemy against this invisible wall, knock them down with a sweep kick and drive a stake through their heart. Voila, one dead vampire. Sadly, this even works on the bosses, so you can finish the game in an hour. Sarah michelle gellar is hot and alt, but i'll pass on this game and stick with the show.

Angel's journey was amongst the most epic in both buffy the vampire slayer and angel. The vampire evolved from selfish layabout to brutal villain, but when his soul was returned to him, he changed from a self-loathing lurker to hero. The whole angel series featured his various attempts to embody a champion as he stood against the forces of evil, but his redemption never would have been possible without the influence of buffy. The bond between the two characters was key to his growth.

Iwry_marathon: who we are (the becoming you and me and remix) - frt/pg - buffy/angel title: who we are (the becoming you and me remix) author: snogged disclaimer: joss whedon and many other corporations own the characters and recognizable elements from buffy the vampire slayer.

1. Buffy the vampire slayer came out at an interesting time in the horror genre. Joss whedon stated that he wrote buffy as a response to the helpless damsels in distress characters he saw in typical horror films, as he felt women needed better screen idols to look up to. Buffy debuted just a year after scream, a film that heavily commented on the sexist representations of women in horror cinema. Sarah michelle gellar would appear in scream 2 and i know what you did last summer. Both were penned by 90’s screenwriting wunderkind kevin williamson, who was also behind dawson’s creek.
