My option isn't up there. Personally I always took him for granted and never really saw him as a 3D character up until the last season, loved him in Not Fade Away. Him and Cordy both were just humans that did their best and that even though they made mistakes, they truly had good hearts.

He was definitely good enough for her, that's not at all what I'm talking about. I meant as characters, in a TV show, to me they weren't a good couple. It could have been cool if it was just a thing, to make the Fred/Wesley relationship more difficult or even impossible.. but to me Fred/Gunn never worked. I definitely see how he as a character would fall for her, and I see that she would like him as well but.. a couple, no, didn't work for me.

So, why is that Fred/Wesley seems more probable than Fred/Gunn? I'm curious.

At least Fred/Gunn didn't nauseate me, like Fred/Wesley did.
 
I think he was a very interesting character. He could also be annoying, but I really think he was a good character and I liked the Fred/Gunn relationship. They just seemed to just "fit" together. I wasn't so sure about the Fred/Wesley coupling though...
 
I'm comfortable in the group that preferred Fred/Wesley to Fred/Gunn. Fred and Wesley seemed to have more in common and felt like a better fit to me.

Also Fred has a bit of a hero fixation. She was pretty mixed up when she first came out of Pylea. Gunn was the more obvious hero type in a physical sense. I can see where she'd be attracted to him first. When he tried to take control of her decision to compromise her morality though, she recognized his feet of clay, and dumped him. She was aware of Wesley's flaws, yet she chose him anyway. This suggests to me they had a better chance of surviving as a couple.

As far as Gunn as a character goes, I didn't find him very fleshed out until Season 5. At that point he became pretty interesting to me.
 
I definitely agree that Gunn was way more interesting in season 5, then before that. I liked him in the beginning, he was cool and all, but it was that Gunn/Fred thing that partly ruined both of those characters to me. They're both great characters, but as I said, they don't work as a couple..
Gunn in season 5 though, is the fun, cool Gunn again. And I love how they didn't make some weird story about the Gunn/Fred/Wesley thing in season 5... Well, of course they didn't really have time for that I guess, since Fred and Wesley weren't really a coupel for that long but still... I love how Gunn just accepts Fred/Wesley and is evern happy for them... That made me all happy and made me love Gunn even more.. mmhm...
 
I really liked gunn, he was cool, funny and witty. I hated the way other members of AI made him feel like he was just the 'muscle' when he was so much better than that, they where lucky to have him and i loved the whole gunn/fred thing i thought they where great together
 
I didnt think he was hot, I didnt think he was annoying, I didnt think he was the 'greatest' character, and I didnt think he was the dumbest character..he was just Gunn to me. Haha. A Good Character he was, and in some episodes he was awesome. But in others he was annoying. ...But hes a cool dude.

I love Gunn he is one of the best charecter in the Jossverse. He is so human and flawed but has such a good heart. I've always loved him, he was this really hard-core cross me i'll cross you type of front but underneath he is a softy. I dont get why he doesnt get more attention by us fans cause i think hes such a great charecter. And JA is such a good actor i mean just look at shells, the only time i cried in that ep was when he was in the hospital with Harmony. 🙁

I pretty much agree. What goes on under the surface with this character is pretty subtle, but it's really powerful if you take a moment to look at his development. He is a really great guy who hasn't always had it easy and who has made some really big mistakes. It also helps that he's hot - especially when he strides into court in that suit. Also, I thought he and Fred were adorable together. I was sad when they broke up.
 
I thought he was a pretty damn good character. He seemed a lot more complex than many fans give him credit for. I also found it interesting that although Whedon made it clear that Gunn was a very intelligent man, many fans tend to accept Fred's opinion of him as the group's not-very-intelligent "muscle". I find that odd.
 
Very Interesting character...the show wouldn't be great without him obviously gets my vote! Gunn was bad ass, The show could have went on without him but it would have been worse off definitely!

Yes, he was a definite asset to the show.
I think the show would still have been great without Gunn, simply different. As with any ensemble cast, each player brings his own quality, and without it, the show just wouldn't be the same. For example, what if, instead of the Gunn was never on the show, but Robin Wood was? Different character, different actor, both demon fighters with family members killed by vamps. The same but different. Or maybe a less dorky Groo. Lorne could've been a more heroic character, more of a warrior than a lounge singer. There could have been Oz... any number of possibilities. I have faith in the Almighty Joss. He could've made it work with anyone. Different, but just as good.
 
How can anyone not like gunn was i the only one that welled up when he killed his sister? you know i can't help but wonder for a second was he actully gonna let her turn him maybe i should start a new thread?
 
great character, one of the best on Angel(along with Angel and Lorne, and s1&2 Wes) His episodes, like War Zone and That Old gang of Mine, were way better than the Cordy or Fred or Lorne ones. Plus, the show really needed someone cool.
 
I loved him. I think he (and the idea of his gang) added a lot to the show. However, I think the "gang" part should have been left in the leave well enough alone department before "That Old Gang Of Mine". I thought that was kind of hoaky and stupid.
I guess it helped with Fred's character, but I was bored with it before then.
 
hes a great character but i definately have to say i like him more pre lawyeriness he was cooler as the tough guy
