Rewatched Buffy the Vampire Slayer as an adult, still good! The slayer is supposed to be this tough, strong person who can take on anything ALONE (they keep repeating that throughout the series) yet they make Buffy seem so weak and without her minions, nothing would be accomplished. By the end of the series, she’s downplayed and turned into this emotional weak chaotic wreck.
As for the love interest, it frustrated me that everyone kept bringing up Angel. “Her first love” was nothing but a mere crush. He bailed on her because they couldn’t have intercourse and he would turn evil? If they really had that huge impact love everyone in the show kept bringing up, they would’ve been together. And Spike never got the credit he deserved, he literally did everything he could think of to try to win her love and in the end he even sacrifices himself for a lame “I love you” that was so faked. He fought so hard to earn her love for 4 seasons, I believe. I wish they ended up together. It wasn’t even about the sex with them, that part shortly ended. It was about trust and honesty and friendship and everything else needed to build a relationship. They didn’t need to be on top of each other to be together. Unlike Angel where he “couldn’t control his love for her” so he ends up walking away completely. BYE.
I would love to see another season, as a catch up of where everyone’s lives are ect. Such a good show compared to shows now. The 90s were so simple.
