Unpopular Opinions About Buffy/Angel

[Buff Buff]

I saw this on TWOP and decided to post it here.

What opinions do you have about Buffy that most people would disagree with? (ie: I love Kennedy! Okay, so maybe I don't love Kennedy, but whatever.)

Season 6 was my favorite season. I loved the trio (minus Warren...but yeah) and I ADORED Evil Willow.

I loved Andrew. He was hilarious, and I always thought he was one of the best-looking guys on the show. I thought he was better-looking than Angel was in the later seasons...and I liked his voice for some strange reason.

I liked Spike in season 2, LOVED him in season 4, thought he was just okay in seasons 5 and 6, and didn't like him at all in season 7; aside from the fact that he's definitely the best-looking guy on the show, I don't see why anyone liked season 7 Spike.

I didn't like Spuffy at all. Sprusilla forever!

I didn't think James Marsters' singing in OMWF was all that great. I mean, he's a pretty good singer, but he wasn't the best. Tony Head was much, much better.

I liked season 5, and I liked the concept of Glory, but Clare Kramer's acting reminded me of a bad middle school play. Then again, I guess your acting is never really that great when you play the snobby character.

I bawl during Willow's speech at the end of Tough Love every time I watch it (I've seen it 4 times), even though I know Tara gets sane again around three episodes later.

I liked Beer Bad. I don't see why people can hate that episode and love an episode like Where the Wild Things Are.

I don't like (the character) Buffy that much. SMG portrayed her perfectly, and she was definitely one of the best actors on the show, and I liked her during the first couple seasons...but in the later seasons, she's so vain. Like when she tries to convince Willow not to go after Glory, and during most of the last episodes of season 6...ugh! I agree with evil Willow...at moments, she just needs to get every square inch of her ass kicked. Okay, that was more of a rant than an opinion...but whatever.

I always thought Marti Noxon was one of the best writers on the show.

Anyone else?

 

[Tueuse de Vampires]

I really liked how Angel was turned into Angelus in season 2 of Buffy. Dunno if this is popular or not, though. Just from what I've heard some of my friends didn't like it.
I liked Riley. He reminded me a bit of my brother.
And Cangel forever.

 

[VisionGuy]

1. I like BtVS season 4. The overall plot sucks but the episodes themselves are really good.

2. Where The Wild Things Are and Living Conditions are two of my favorite episodes.

3. I don't like Welcome To The Hellmouth and The Harvest. Whenever I start the series from the begining, I usually skip them.

4. Bangel's crying over everything gets on my nerves.

5. I don't really like Becoming Part 1 and 2.

6. Season 6 of BtVS is great. Season 7 is only okay.

7. I don't like that Angel moved to W&H. It defeats his whole "Help The Helpless" thing.

8. I LOVED evil Cordy.

 

[GATEGOD]

I've always loved Anya
I've always not loved Tara
I've always loved Spike, and Angel
I've always loved Willow/Oz and know they are meant to be together
I've always loved Kennedy
I've always loved Lindsay and feel is one of the greatest characters
I've always not loved at all how some people lived and Anya died
I've always loved season 4 of Angel
I've always loved Kennedy/Will in The Killer in Me
I've always loved the Mayor and Faith, good or bad
I've always loved Doyle but that isn't an unpopular opinion, I just love him
And lastly I've always loved Angel singing

 

[LittleMissLikesToFight]

Buffbuff, i actually agree on the bits about liking Spike earlier and not as much later, Sprusilla, and Glory!!!

And also, i liked Go Fish. I thought it was fun.

I don't really like Innocence.

I very much enjoyed season 6 too, also a fav. season 5 was just ok for me.

I was never a big fan of xander/anya. I actually loved Cordy and xander better.

And i liked riley in season 4, and not so much in 5.

 

[anyatara]

- I love season 6 of Buffy, most people don't, but it's what got me into the show, so I'll always love it 🙂

- I don't really like season 1, IMO it's the worst series.

- I no longer hate Kennedy =O

 

[Clem Rocks]

I think that Dawn is one of the 3 best characters in Buffy
I think Spike shouldn't have been in Buffy at all, he was much better in Angel

 

[Tranquillity]

I have developed a soft spot for Dawn and now feel she is a useful character beyond season 5

I find season five to be the least 'fun' season, not season six - which i love.

I love season seven! I know many people nitpick at it for various reasons but i just love each and every episode.

I didn't miss Giles that much in season six.

It took me longer to really get into Buffy Season 8 than it did to get into Angel: after the fall

I too love season four of Angel - took a second viewing to do it though, once the shocks were absorbed you see some damn fine acting and some wonderful writing.

Season 5 Angel is probably my favourite season of the whole Buffyverse.

 

[Buff Buff]

Ah! Clem Rocks has inspired me to add in something I should've said earlier....

I know, this is probably a REALLY popular opinion, but...I love, love, LOVE Clem! I thought he was totally amazing and underused. I have an idea...they should make a spinoff all about Clem! Who's with me?!

 

[Blondie Bear]

I didn't think Angelus was as evil as everyone said he was. Or, at least, he wasn't as adept at evil as everyone said he was. He went on and on about it being an "art," but then he did heavy-handed stuff like dumping Jenny in Giles' bed. And, yes, there was a whole setup there, but it was still a dead body in a bed. Granted that there's only so much you can do on TV, but I didn't see a monster even under the civil veneer that they had to give him for TV. At most, he was kind of a petty evil. So he killed people. Oooh. Warren did that, and nobody would say he was an ubervillain.

Just my (possibly unpopular) opinion.

 

[Bangelxx]

not liking spuffy either! sprusilla was cool though!🙂 i find dawn a little annoying

 

[justanotherjen]

Hmmm.
I never really liked Angel as Angelus. He was funny as heck but way too evil for me.
Spike in love with Buffy annoyed the hell out of me.
I think Buffy is a little too self absorbed (but I guess most teenage girls are)
I loved Angel and Cordy together (they were the cutest).
I liked season 5 of Angel (except that Cordy wasn't in it).
I never really cared for Tara's character. She was okay but she seemed so mousy.
I loved Andrew--one of my favorite characters.
I liked Warren's character (not what he did but the character was interesting).

I'm sure there are more but that's all I can think of right now.

 

[TrueVengeance]

Not sure if all of these are unpopular...seems to be where ever I go

I liked Season 4...not the overall storyline but for the most part I liked it!

Season 6 is my 2nd favorite season

I liked Beer Bad and Where the Wild Things Are

I cannot stand Bangel or Spuffy

The constant crying of Bangel bores me to tears

I didn't like season 2 all that much, or anying Bangel really. The earlier seasons were my least favorite

I don't really like the character of Angel...(on BtVS anyway...don't mind him on his own show)

There's more but I'm too tired to think 😛

 

[sosa lola]

I liked season four better than season three.

I didn't get interested in Faith until No Future For You.

I don't like Buffy's relationships (Bangel, Ruffy, Spuffy)

I lost interest in Willow the minute she started to desert the computer and become a witch.

I find Buffy's boyfriends' scenes with Buffy's friends much more interesting than with Buffy.

I don't side with anyone in Empty Places, while I felt bad for Buffy and thought it was harsh to have her leave the house, I thought the Scoobies had a point in their argument. I side with Buffy in Dead Man's Party, I side with the Scoobies in Revelation.

I find Xander/Cordelia more interesting than Xander/Anya.

I like Season 8 Buffy more than After the Fall.

I find the Scoobies more interesting and layered than the Fang Gang (Angel's group.)

 

[Angelic Slayer]

Hmmm... an interesting topic! This one's so easy it's hard you know? Trying to figure out what's against "the norm".

Well I'm not sure if these are all "unpopular", but these are my opinions that I think may be a little bit on the less common side? ???


I don't like Jenny and Giles together. At all.

I don't like Jenny. At all. Lol I shouldn't say that, I can appreciate some things about her character but overall I thought she was a wimp, personally.

I hate spuffy (obviously lol) but at the same time I really value what they had in season 7.... kind of friendship/understanding type deal. And being an avid bangel shipper that may be wierd?

I don't like sprusilla either. Faith/Spike I thought were always best paired.

I HATED Buffy in some episodes, especially season 6. Thought she was just aggravating (especially in "Fool For Love")

Snyder was my favourite of all the Sunnydale High Principals

I wasn't a huge fan of season 7 (except for the very last episodes).



That's all I have so far, anyway. I'll post more if I can think of any! : erm :

 

[Rowan Hawthorn]

Unpopular opinions? Well, I like Kennedy. And I can support my position. Both of those are about as unpopular as you can get. Well, except that I got really tired of "the Spike Show".

 

[eunsoma]

I actually like Kennedy, I thought she was good for Willow and she helped 2 lead the story back 2 the Slayers and not so much the magic..

I don't like 'Welcome to the Hellmouth' or 'The Harvest', like someone said before.

Bangel sucks, Spuffy sucks more, Cangel rocks.. And personally, i think Riley was the best bf Buffy had.

I would rather Spike stayed dead and never came to AtS, he just made Angel look like a big doofus in comparison.

Cordelia should never have been hi-jacked by Jasmine and killed, it would have been better if she stayed a PtB IMO, maybe re-appearing a few more times later in the series as a Special Guest Star..

Connor should not exist, seriously.

Dawn made me laugh on a few occasions.. lol

Glory was the best big bad on BTVS

Wesley should have visited Sunnydale with Cordy at some stage in the 3rd season of AtS (so BTVS s6) so that the scoobies could see how much they'd both grown..

 

[Elithustra]

I really disliked Andrew, out of all the Trio members, he irked me the most. It was like someone slap that boy already, puh-lease!

 

[LittleMissLikesToFight]

Oh, to add, im one of those who really liked warren (as a character and even a lil as a person, i still feel deep down, prior to him first killing a human being, there was a good part to him).

think Johnathon was a useless part of the trio.

I love Life Serial (apparently its not that big around here). I think its one of the funniest episodes and i have it on my ipod nano to have a good laugh when im on the go.

Gunn is my favorite character on Angel.

And i kind of agree about whoever said Jenny was a wimp... i thought her and Giles was weird too, because she seemed a LOT younger than him, then again im judging on looks so what do i know.

 

[UlaGan]

Hm, I always hated Harmony, I dislike that actress ever since Addams Family.. 🙂
I love Seasons 1 and 4.
I prefer Buffy to Angel.
I can't fall in love with Season 7 and it took me some time to like Season 6.
Never like Andrew.
