What is the most unpopular opinion you have about a tv show?

You know what I'm feeling spicy today so I'll answer this one.

I think Spike should have been killed off sometime in s5 of Buffy. Maybe s6 if they really felt they needed to do the whole toxic relationship storyline.

I personally feel like while James Marsters is a fantastic actor, the actual writing for Spike is all over the place as the writers seemed to constantly be changing their mind about how they wanted the audience to feel about the guy.

I personally think the end to the show would have been better served without Spike around and that Buffy as a character would have had an overall better arc in s7 without Spike around

#btvs #anti-spike #i just think the way fans act like he elevated the show is just #not something i will ever agree with #i just think buffy is better when she's not around spike #and so much is done to make her be around him in a way that often never felt organic to me

I just had a thought. Do you think if Spike wasn't in the series then Xander would've been the one Buffy had the affair with in S6?

No, I don't see that happening on either end. Buffy turned to Spike specifically because he was separate from the rest of them, and because no matter how bad and worthless she felt like she was, he would always, by definition, be worse. Xander didn't fit that bill, and also if she tried to have the kind of violent 'self-harm with extra steps' sex with Xander that she did with Spike, she would quite literally kill him.

Meanwhile, as much as it pains me to say anything remotely positive about Xander, especially in S6, he proved several times over the course of the show that he understood what consent was, and perhaps more importantly, what it wasn't. He could not have tricked himself into thinking Buffy really wanted him, or that she was remotely in her right mind if she behaved half as erratically with him as she did with Spike, and he would have said no.

When I see these stills of Buffy trying to protect herself from Spike in Wrecked

This is what goes through my mind.

According to r/Buffy, not liking Spike or how JM played certain aspects of Spike not only means I don’t like the show at all (which sure is a take) but also means I’m a guy.

TIL.

*takes a deep breath* Casey Gilly's writing in the Boomverse bothers me so much.

And there's a lot I could get into with that. But mainly it's her obvious obsession with S*pike via the comics she's written so far. And how I feel she Draco in Leather Pants him a lot?

#because she wrote b*uffy the last vampire slayer that ended up shipping s*puffy. and i could get into things about this. like how i feel she #weirdly blamed b*uffy for all her relationships falling apart in this comic series. and almost acted like spike was perfect with no flaws.#and how DARE b*uffy treat him badly and try things with a*ngel?--and end up marrying him--when he was only going to leave her anyway?#so once again. it was her fault her relationships fell apart. but i won't #and then she wrote 'mirrors don't lie' where spike gets this prophecy where he's one day going to fall in love with a slayer #and now she's writing this new 'the lost summer' comic. that's supposed to be 'canon' where spike trying to hide his poetry kick starts the #gang's adventure or something. and i'm just like. 'girl. i get it. you're in love with s*pike'#i'm also not big on how she erased seeing red. tbh. because she wanted spike to never have touched b*uffy without her permission #and even added a line into b*uffy the last vampire slayer where b*uffy says something about that.#forgetting about where he did that in 'dead things'#she was saying 'no' to him there and he wouldn't listen #some people might argue that she really didn't mean it or that her heart wasn't really in it #but when someone says 'no' you stop. period.#rape tw #rape mention #attempted rape mention #attempted rape tw #anti-spike #anti-casey gilly #anti-boom #anti-boomverse #anti-buffy boomverse #anti-buffy the last vampire slayer #anti-mirrors don't lie #anti-the lost summer #just to cover all my bases here i guess #hopefully this won't show up in those tags to offend anyone who likes those things...#anti-spuffy #because my issue is it seems she can never write anything that doesn't have s*pike in it! or from a season before him or anything like that #if she ever did i'd be genuinely shocked. but the show wasn't JUST him. or just about him. there were scoobies that existed before him

When a person belonging to a minority group says or does something bad, you are, of course, free to criticize them. But it still does not give you the right to be a bigot. Noah Schnapp sharing stupid, careless, and uninformed geopolitical opinions deserves to be called out, but it does not mean that you suddenly get to tell him that he should have been gassed by Hitler or killed by anti-Jewish hate groups or terrorists — both things I've read on Twitter and on Tumblr. It does not justify you calling him homophobic or antisemitic slurs.

"But he deserves it!" you argue. First of all, why do you think so? What makes it okay for any person to be given the green signal to get called slurs, or have people advocate for them to get hatecrimed? And more importantly, you are only signaling to your Jewish friends that you are actually capable of antisemitism. Same thing goes with your queer friends, or any friends belonging to a minority group. When you justify one form of bigotry, even to just one person — you justify all forms of bigotry.

So if you find yourself doing any of these, ask yourself why it's so easy to slip into bigoted rhetoric instead of simply focusing your criticism on what a person did/said.

#here's another example: a couple years back many chinese idols made statements supporting the ccp #despite the fact that the ccp was comitting genocide on its muslim population #it was awful and i have stopped supporting any of these idols #but that doesn't mean i could call these idols sinophobic slurs #and when anti-chinese hate crimes because of covid were spiking it didn't mean i could say that these chinese idols deserved to get beat up #because that is a horrible fucking thing to say #noah schnapp #antisemitism #this is probably the last thing i talk about noah bc again people care too much about him #i'm aware i hold a shockingly unpopular opinion lol #a person from x minority doing something disagreeable is not and will never be grounds for you to act bigoted

Never not thinking about how Buffy has to beg and plead for Angel to not let the sun kill him when the first was tormenting him with what he’s done and that fact that soul or no soul he still wants to hurt Buffy and he concludes the only way he won’t is to kill himself….. and the only reason he didn’t dust was the storm and he was fully gonna let her watch him die again because he couldn’t face what a worthless piece of shit and a monster even with the soul he really is (and then suddenly they’re back together even though Buffy said they couldn’t be together anymore like RIGHT before all this so essentially Angel threatens to kill himself and then suddenly he and Buffy are back together 🙃 i hate it here)

Riley was gonna let himself die rather than become even weaker than Buffy while she again begs for him to stop being a whiny attention seeking toddler and grow the fuck up and do what he needs to do so he won’t DIE (my words not hers obviously lol) and when that doesn’t work and she still doesn’t “pay enough attention to him or need him enough” in his eyes while she’s ya know being the slayer, raising her sister and taking care of her sick mother…. He cheats on her in a way that again threatens his own life and the lives of everyone he could easily kill in her life if he were to be turned and when THAT doesn’t work he threatens to leave forever unless she forgives him IMMEDIATELY

And Spike who is the only one to actually die after she again is pleading you don’t have to do this “no there’s still time you’ve done enough” because Spike knows Buffy doesn’t deserve “good enough” Buffy deserves everything, she deserves to be free of the hellmouth even though that means they can’t be together and he’ll die

Two man-children who threaten to kill themselves because they can’t handle what they’ve done or that they’re not as strong as they think they are and drag an overburdened and traumatized young woman they had no business even dating in the first place along for their self-destructive ride vs a man who literally already sacrificed everything he was to become someone she could love without guilt, sacrificing everything he fought to become, for her and her beloved world she loves so much and fights so hard to protect.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO MEN WHO THREATEN DEATH VS THE MAN WHO ACTUALLY DIED AND THE VASTLY DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING THESE THREE EVENTS 😭😭😭

Spike dying BECAUSE he was worthy of Buffy’s love rather than because he wasn’t like the two who came before him

the irony of Something Blue is that despite it being an audience fave episode, it's maybe one of the preeminent examples of writer/audience dissonance. Like, fandom may not fight about it. There's no discourse about writers room disagreements, it's not controversial. But is there a final episode note that feels as off as the intended hopeful Buffy/Riley scene trying to make us root for them? They gave us an episode of Spuffy and Scooby hijinks and chemistry, and then capped it off by trying to tell us that we SHOULD be rooting for the parts of the episode that brought it to a dead halt every time.

instead of going out on cookies and Wind Beneath My Wings, we leave with the promise of more Buffy/Riley. And instead of being the promising note they're aiming for, it's more like a sinking sense of dread that we're in for months, possibly YEARS of boredom.

I think one of the biggest differences between bangel and spuffy is that angel isn’t a partner to buffy. he’s not even someone she knows that well. he’s not someone she’s ever familiar with, and he’s not someone she can ever fully rely on.

yeah their romance was big and grand and all the things a tragic fairytale romance is. but at the end of the day their relationship is so incredibly surface level. all there is is the idea of love, and not even the real thing.
