Def Angel!

On BtVS he was so dependent on Buffy, it really got tired(not that I ever got tired with him...just tired with the storyline, you know Good Evil Good)

On Angel he had a life, well an unlife, he was a champion. He made new friends(God I'm talking about him like he's 7) and fell in love with Cordy. He had a son and saved the world.
I forgot, How many times did he do that on BtVS? Up...none🙂
 
I agreed with most on liking Angel better on 'Angel'. I sort of thought that he has much more personality being on Angel, not just I'm Buffy's Boyfriend, I Love Buffy, kinda thing that was happening on Buffy. Even when he came back for last two episodes in S7, you see some of his personality which I thought was great. Because in S1/S2/S3 it was pretty much [as someone said above] just the broody, solemn, stuff. [Well besides Angelus in S2... that was fun 🙂 Lol].

MMM Peeps...There were times on both shows when I liked him. Season 1 was cool...I love how they didn't reveal him as a vampire until halfway into the season. Even though you didn't know at first, you knew there was more to this guy than meets the eye. Plus he threw in that "They really don't like me down there" line in WTTH/TH.

Loved him as Angelus in S2, and as Angel in the first half of S1. I have to agree though, it was nice to see him holding his own in ATS. Got him into the limelight and out of Buffys shadow! :chicken: PEEP!
 
Well of course he was better on Angel. On Buffy we didn't know a lot about him, just the fact that he's a vampire and fell in love with Buffy...trying to save the world from the evil creeps. Now in his own show we get more of an idea of what really happened in his past and how he developed from this guy who was so focused on his relationship with Buffy that no one really knew him that well. *mysterious is always good 😉* When he was in L.A. he was in charge and called most of the shots, he made friends that he'd probably never thought he'd make. Those friends helped him survive really, they helped him from turning evil and when he was evil they tried to bring him back. I loved how he showed his caring side when Connor was around and how his life was more so based on saving the world.
 
He was great in both shows, he was great as the moody Angel and good as the happy Angel. He looked better on Buffy though than he did on Angel.
 
I think he was better on Angel because they gave him more room to become a real character, and not just a Buffy-follower. We got to see him in a lot of different aspects, not just a love-sick brooding vampire-with-a-soul. 🙂

But I really liked him in BtVS season 1 because he was all mysterious. And I liked when he was Angelus, just because it was new and exciting. But other than that, I have to say that he was better on Angel.
 
I liked him better in Angel, mostly because you got to see more sides of him, and dig a little deeper in the Angel mystery. Didn't unlike him in BtVS, but I think it was good that he left when he did, so things could develope.. I like his cameo in Chosen, think you got to see a little bit of the development Angel did, even if it doesn't really seem to match what's going on right then on Ats, but that's another discussion.
 
To be honest I hated Angel on Buffy. He was supposed to be that dark, handsome, mysterious guy... and that just never worked for me. He was just just being stupid and that disappearing all of a sudden thing, was just annoying and not interesting or mysterious at all. So, yea, I didn't think I'd like Ats since I hated the main character... But, Angel on his own show, turned out to be great. I really like Angel now. I love how Angel can be really funny, he's got the dorkiest most pointless humor ever and I just love that..
 
LOL This question was probably answered before it was even asked lol He was so much better in angel for the simple fact we learnt how geeky and dorky (i.e. human) angel actually was. He became a person rather than a freaky vampire who followed teenage girls round everywhere because he loved them

LMAO----so true...he was kinda creepy in BTVS, though I LOVED him there too. ANGEL have him the chance to shine!
I liked him in both, but I have to say, his role, and his acting were WAY better in Angel. When I re-watch early seasons of Buffy, I am like wow, Hello, big difference. Plus Angel had a more serious vibe that fit his character better. Angel as a character was definitely destined to be more than the Slayer's vamp boyfriend.
 
I liked him on both but I have to agree with everyone here he was better on Angel, we learned more about him, and his life before he came to SunnyDale.
 
I think that he was better on Angel the Series. I really do not like Angel in the Buffy seasons, but I have not problem watching AtS. I think having his own show really made a difference and made me like the character more.
 
I really didn't like him in the buffy seasons, i much preferred him in the Angel seasons where we got to learn a lot more about him and I liked his personality a lot - especially between seasons 3 - 5.
 
I liked him much better in Angel. He seemed more...real on Angel. His character got more depth and he wasn't just broody all the time. He became funnier, smarter, stronger. Basically everything about him was better on Angel. Like a few people have said, he didn't really even have a personality when he was on Buffy. On Angel, his character was developed more and he became much more interesting.
 
I love him in both.. And I fell in love with him on Buffy ...but... Angel is much better because it shows his funnier side. On Buffy it was all Love and Drama with him and few spots that would make you smirk(most of those were when he was Angelus on there) And on Angel theres many great points that make you bust out laughing.
 
Angel is one of my least favorite characters in Jossverse, but I have to admit that he was a lot more interesting on ANGEL than he was on BUFFY.

Note: I may not have liked him very much as a character, but he was interesting.
 
I like dhim on both! Hes Angel, hes likeable, but I suppose Angel by a inch!
