#buffy season 1 deserves more love for how violently 90s the whole season was

[sunnydalebimbo]

All of Buffy’s Season 1 looks are so 90s but honestly so cute. Buffy’s baby blue blazer and blue eyeshadow in Welcome to the Hell Mouth? Adorable. All of her little high ponytails and buns? So so very cute. Her green with white detail dress from Never Kill a Boy on the First Date? I’d date her. All of Buffy’s pleather skirt, knee-high boots, and tank top combos AND her leopard print trench coat in I Robot, You Jane?Hooooot. Her light blue leather jacket over the three-tone shirt? I’s wear that in the year of our lord 2021. Buffy’s leather jacket and chunky cross necklace layered over her white prom dress? Most icon Buffy look of all time ever. All Buffy fashion is hit or miss, but there’s just something about Season 1 that hits so hard.

#this is actually just revealing i have horrible taste in clothing #i may be the only person alive who looks at 90s clothes and thinks ‘yes this makes eprfect sense’ #but i think she looks adorable #‘course buffy could wear potato sack and i would still think she looks neat #but i remember buffy’s season one looks to vividly #I CANT BELIEVE I FORGOT TO MENTION THE SUNGLASSES #THEY ALTERNATE BETWEEN BEING SO TINY AND SO COMICALLY LARGE #just something about them #she looks so cute! #also they distract from the nightmarish green with mushrooms button down xnader was wearing in the pilot #cordy also always looks perfect in her sweater sets #buffy season 1 deserves more love for how violently 90s the whole season was #btvs #buffy summers

Buffy season 1 review

So a lot of people have been pushing this show onto me for awhile now, partially a friend recently because they like spike and thought the show was good. I got Interested and all seven seasons are on Amazon so why not! Here we are. I’m going to do reviews like this as I finish each season, since I’ve finished season one today I’m putting this out now. Going to hit the big points so on so on

𝐍𝗼𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝗼𝐭 𝗼𝐟 𝐯𝐚𝗺𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝗼𝐫 𝐚 𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫-

so surprisingly not a lot of vampires for a show about vampires, like yes they exist and yes they are the main bad’s. However it’s really more of a scooby doo meets sailor moon vibe? Figuring out who the monster of the week is and how to destroy it. Like STUDENTS POSSESSED BY HYENAS, invisible girl, horny puppet, literal demon etc. Like don’t take this as a complaint I kinda love it. The vampires and the master were always sort of a element but it’s mainly Buffy turning around , staking one , turning back around and being “ ok what’s up :)” and it’s a praying mantis as a substitute teacher, take a shot. I’m assuming it gets more vampire based later on in the show.

god tier. Like actually whitty clever comedy, banter, sarcasm, comments , something with brains?! I am ALL here for it like seriously I’m living for how sort of hysterical the show is. Like how in a few weeks Xander is just “yea ok what is it , let’s get this over with yada yada yada kill it” shsisjsoosos. Like the sarcasm, the clever jabs and the almost farcical way it is at times. It’s not only comments but sometimes physical and it’s neat. Again not to bring up Xander for a second time but his ‘porn star’ and ‘peep show’ shirts give me life! Buffy herself is kinda : what, like , it’s hard? Vibes. another factor is the kinda hysterical romance mess up? So we got. Praying mantis woman, a vampire and a digital demon. Oh! And big scary computer lady.

𝐒𝐭𝗼𝐫𝐲, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐯𝐚𝗺𝐩𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝗺𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬-

so I kind of like how in the first episode Buffy was basically the comic of “girl born as a protagonist” who does everything in her power to ignore it. The storyline is extremely basic at the moment, mainly just that there is a slayer and then it’s again Scooby doo monster of the week. I LOVE how the schools not just shut down from how many kids go missing and die constantly.

the vampires themselves, very classic easy weakness sort of deal, and I love the vibes. How they look EXTREMELY similar to the lost boys vampires except more wrinkles, less detailed eyes and their fangs are back to their canines. Tho they get defeated as easily as video game zombies.

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬-

Buffy: I expected her to be that super Mary Sue type and kind of to hate her, while she does instantly have powers and have the whole ‘everyone either loves or hates her’ element. She is actually a good character? Like the whole want to be a regular 16 year old girl clashing with destiny deal.

Willow: sweet baby nerd girl I adore her, next?

Xander: Hyena boy (it was one episode and I LOVED it and I keep calling him this-) I adore him he is everything. Mr. Awkward wearing a porn star t-shirt. Seriously we don’t deserve him , his dedication or his sarcasm. Also his strange fear of Nazis and his constant jokes about them??? Go off.

Giles: my soul, god I love him way to much. Idk what it is about total nerds. He’s such a sweet dorky father figure of a man and I love him so much. I also like how he’s so violently British- the mans name is Rupert. Rupert.

Angel: the pretty boy, the obvious vampire. Honestly he kinda disappointed me? You can tell there is so much more there but he just doesn’t stay long enough, even in the episode they info dumped on him. Oh so he used to be cool and now he’s Edward Cullen? Ok , anything else? I’m just waiting for mr brooding to do something. Cmon pretty boy, you’ve got so much potential.

Cordelia: HATED her until she literally bit a vampire back. Queen lmao.

𝐭𝐡𝗼𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬-

Over all the first season is VERY 90s and dated but I mean this in the best way. It was formulaic and super fun. I honestly am so excited about the next season, it’s gotten to where all my thoughts are gone to me just wanting to watch the show again.
