Alex Meyers Finally sould out huh? Nah JK with the yt adpocalypse I don't blame you

Alex Meyers you're so hilarious! When i am down, i just watch one of your video's and i am happy again. Thank you for that! I love your channel!

Alex Meyers the one thing that always got me in the feels with this show was when Sarah Michelle Gellar would cry as the character Buffy! It would just break me down knowing that even though this is just a supernatural fiction tv show, everything she did as BUFFY felt so real! Even when she cried for the most saddest moments in buffy! We saw humanity and it broke walls! I really can't see another actress do that as Sarah Michelle Gellar she is one of a kind! And i hope in the future provided that this new series of BUFFY REBOOT is a success, that Sarah will make an appearance giving her support and passing the mantle in hope to salute the BUFFYVERSE into a new direction for many years to come! And also again i hope they choose Vanessa Morgan she would be the perfect choice and she would really carry out the show through the way we all could enjoy it once again! Vanessa Morgan would be perfect for the new role of BUFFY the vampire slayer REBOOT series because a lot of times executives producers want to choose certain actors who have a huge following already Vanessa Morgan is known for RIVERDALE and The Shannara Chronicles Degrassi the Canadian show called The Latest Buzz, My baby sitters a Vampire, Finding Carter! And if the executive see's this her track record they would feel more inclined to go with someone in this generation who has already done many roles that give the executive enough free space to build upon the nostalgia to lure more BUFFYVERSE fans and new ones they can get from this generation through Vanessa Morgan's following! And Vanessa Morgan is smoking hot! It's going to be fine if they can find an actresses that has such a good track! Take care!

hey man your shadowhunters joke is not cool as a plank of wood I sir am insulted we boards of wood are better actors then them what you think this is youtube

Cordelia has awesome character development

She was amazing in early Angel seasons but I’ll never forgive the writers for what they did to her later on

@@rowanfawcett Connor was 18 when he got back from Quor'toth. She was not a pedo.

@@rowanfawcett Yea, the writers didn't really think that one through.

@@rowanfawcett Eh the dude looked like he was 22 and a lot of states have the age on consent set at 16 as long as the other person isn't older than 24. I agree it's weird and I don't understand how the dynamics of a relationship like that can be healthy. I mean even if she were 18 it would still be weird and predatory for the same reasons you described imo I don't think her being one year older would make her anymore prepared or Angel anymore ethical. Also Vampires stop aging so even though he might have 240 years of life experience his cognitive capacity is probably stuck at the same age he turned.

That's how The Office was too. There were some things with the first season which weren't working well and with the changes it got better.

Like The Clone Wars.

Lol I practically said the same thing before I saw your comment.

It's fairly common actually

The Originals

Great point. That skater opening is random in retrospect. Xander was later shown to have a love for comic books, but he had zero friends with the same interest. It was always strange that he never had any male friends.

@@Nepthu He did have a male friend... Jesse.

He does skate after that but very rarely tbh

I see it as this was Xander’s first time on a skateboard, he even says “I don’t know how to stop.” He was trying to act cool but failed and gave up on skateboarding.

he was also kind of a douche in the series.

Nina C. Tbh no

Yesss I couldn't get into Riverdale

Agreed!

Uhm two completely different shows...

C S They both fall under the catergory of "Teen Drama" but Buffy is slighty better tbh.

You're so right. Still holds up.

true statement

I am 14 so I don’t understand most of the nineties references. I love every minute!

@@thebritlanders4535 I'm 21 but in the same boat.

Just rewatched the series and its pretty solid for its time.

ikr haha

In the 90’s I owned those pants :(

Audrey Moran So was I

This was the start of cliche

But popular girls are soooo popular.

If you continue to watch the show and on to Angel she actually has an amazing character arc and becomes one fo my favorite characters. This “mean girl” has a lot more to offer than meets the eye!

Everybody's gay, Kimmy

That was the beauty of her character! The depth she has contrasts the persona she puts out to everyone as the stereotypical popular high school girl.. she's also pretty clever in her own way. You really start to see her true self on angel after she leaves high school and the facade fades away. Idk why I've seen so many buffy fans hate on her, she really is a neat, well rounded character! :D

Yes, and having her end up on Angel did a ton more for her character than this show ever did!

What's great about the show is that as time went on and characters grew up it transitioned from typical teen dramas to 'typical' real world problems along with the chosen one stuff. It had a balance, and i think it tackled issues like grief, depression and addiction really well too.

Spike is one of if not my favourite character. The metaphors, the character arcs, the tragedy, how you see how and why everything that happens matters is why I love it so much. Also it influenced so many of todays shows, like the whole big bad thing was all Buffy. It’s not one of those shows where a thing happens then is solved in the next episode. Like the season 2 finale for example, it’s a permanent thing and Buffy and those around her have to deal with it. Even when it’s resolved it isn’t really cause now there’s this huge conflict that we see consume both Angel and Buffy. And is still brought up in later seasons in the series as well as in Angel. Also the way it’s resolved we find out later is just part of this intricate plan by literally evil incarnated. So it matters so much.

Truer words have never been said

ITS LITTERALLY NOT EVEN CHEESY LATER ITS AMAZING ITS THE BEST SHOW EVER SERIOUSLY

Hunter look up the blacklist and Boston legal

Hunter the blacklist

JokeRGBlazE also see Boston legal. That was spade in his prime time. He makes the show so much better.

😂😂

Aditya Upadhye actually I disagree I believe his prime time to be when you played Ultron and also the Blacklist and after I edit this I'm also going to add Stargate

Buffy is still the best! Not technical with today's measure, but through its history and its dialogues.

Actually it was pretty annoying I'm betting that if the Winchesters rolled into town, they would have solved a majority of their problems in a few episodes rather than a few seasons

@@axelwulf6220 Yeah, no. Buffy is the best TV show ever made in my opinion. Supernatural is a good show, but Sam and Dean got nothing on Buffy. Regardless, the Buffyverse and the Supernaturalverse (is their a better name for it?) are so different that it is all but impossible to predict how either set of characters would do in the others universe.

Maya Lackman Sam and Dean actually have more experience with the same shit Buffy fights Where she started in high school, they started in when Sam was still in diapers and Dean was about to start first grade They had formal training in hand-to-hand combat, marksmanship, and studied occult lore Buffy was pretty much chosen to be a Slayer and I felt that she didn't exactly "earn" her title as it was just given to her Sam was chosen too, but for a much darker, and much more deranged reason Now I've been following these two for a long time, a problem comes up, they try to figure out what the Hell it is, and how to kill it BAM Problem solved in two episodes or less Unless it's an overarching plot, that spans a season or three, but it's meant to be that way Heaven hates them Hell can't contain them

@@axelwulf6220 I've watched all of Buffy, and 13 seasons of Supernatural. Buffy earned her title. She was chosen, yes. But then she was chosen because she was the best out of every girl in the whole world. It's not like just a random girl was chosen. How many hundreds of millions of eligible girls were there that could have been chosen? Only the best was. Get that through your head. Buffy was the best out of hundreds of millions of candidates. Sam and Dean have more experience? Well, yes they do. However Buffy has the memories (albeit unconscious) of every Slayer who has ever lived. This isn't a direct equivalent to experience, but it is equally as useful. Also, experience is useful but it isn't the end all. Buffy has formal training in hand to hand combat, and studied occult lore under Rupert Giles. In her world guns are pretty piss pore against monsters anyway, but I guarantee you if she picked one up she would be an expert because she is the slayer. Sam was chosen for a much darker, more deranged reason. You're right about that. But how is that remotely relevant to his skill/power as a warrior? And if we're talking about what makes for a good show, that depends on personal taste. Personally, I can't stand stories where the main character is chosen for a dark/deranged reason. I love stories where the main character is a paragon of virtue and chosen for a holy mission. Buffy is both of those things. But that is just taste. Sam and Dean has zero experience with the shit Buffy fights. Buffy has zero experience with the shit Sam and Dean fight. At the end of the day there is little to no overlap in the settings, characters, monsters, or shows. They are simply to different to determine which character is more effective. Now, if we are talking about a straight up fight, I'll let my Mom answer this one. She is a big fan of buffy and a bigger fan of Supernatural. She says Buffy and Dean are neck and neck, but Buffy would definitely beat Sam.

....NANI!?

The first use of it on TELEVISION and it was "Googled" not "Google It". The term did not come from Buffy.

Dj Togusa Id like to think that, but I’m pretty sure everyone just started saying it because it sounded right

The only reason I started using Google was because Willow mentioned it in the show, before that I didn't even know any other searcher than Yahoo! existed😂

Am I the only one who uses it because of the vocaloid song "Go Google It"....?

I fucking loved this show 😭

Trueee

First season was the worst by far.

The seventh and sixth seasons were *really* bad. Joss had some poor directing choices, but seasons 2 and 3 and 5 were by far the best of the series.

The first season is a little janky, but it was still finding itself and it has a nice 90’s cheese to it.

Passion of the Nerd reckons you only really need to watch the first two episodes, Angel and the finale of season one to get the story. Some stories like Witch are fun, Nightmares has some good ideas as does Out of My Mind, Out of Sight, The Pack and Never Kill a Boy in the First Date some cool background the rest are kinda there and Teacher's Pet and I Robot, You Jane are especially bad.

The last two seasons are divisive season six is depressing and season seven focuses on a narrower range of characters so I understand the hate but I don't share it.

season 7 sucked.... the chosen virtual series by 4paws was bettervthen the comics... joss lost it somewhere along the way. season 6 was the peek

@@poolwhite4790 season 6 wasn't even made by Joss, he was busy with Firefly at the time. He came back during season 7 and tried to get the show back on track. Personally, I find season 6 sloppy and full of poor choices. Not a fan of Spuffy. At least not early season 6 spuffy.

@@fangsabre Personally, I love Spuffy and I love season seven, but I hated most of season six.

I came here after watching the show, i literally cried.. 😩😭😭😭

Need to rewatch BBT.

Same

I’m only working on my third watch. 🙃 I have other tv series that interest me.

Just finished my 6th or 7th rewatch. Every couple years gotta binge! Now for ANGEL love it

Ha try like 20 and I was born when it came out

Listen kids.. I owned this on VHS tape box sets back in 1996-2002 ! I’ve watched them all more times than I’m willing to admit 😂 I was obsessed with it back in the day.. I was a early teen and wore leather everywhere thinking I was Buffy 😆

Hey, don't spoil him

That also crossed my mind, lol

Seeing as the comic keeps going, nah

@@badmoonris1ng476 no he does has a sould when he comes back to life, the souless part was when he killed him. then they brake up because they see it can't work and angel leaves for his spin off.

Tariq Thomas Wynonna Earp lives up to the buffy legacy in my opinion.

ParaMC Sam yesssssss. Except Wynonna is slightly more cooler. And waverly is also a better willow but a missing Xander is disappointing. Have you seen season 3 yet? The first episode aired today, I think.

You can’t blame them. Every story is derivative in some way. What you’re seeing is Buffy’s influence.

The Flash may be influenced by Buffy in its CWness but that also in turn shows how Buffy was influenced by comics. It was structured to work towards a big bad every season for a reason....oh right,Buffy's a Superhero story, isn't? It's kind of like Blade only... it's like Blade.

Jessica Jones is what a Faith follow up could have been. I see a lot of similarities between her and what Faith becomes in the comics.

I'm glad you liked it tho :)

Buffy did both

@@katelyntaylor7384 true 😹

i feel like this is a shade towards tvd 😭

KMichelle Argus that episode killed me. Sometimes I watch it when I feel like sobbing lmao.

the acting in that episode is off the chart , SMG kills it. The use of no music etc makes it feel so real.

Sarah's performance in that episode still sends chills down my spine really..

Pretty sure that episode was nominated or won a golden globe

Or when Tara got shot, those episodes are so sad, but Hush was also so scary

but honestly, hilarious video man

sansa stark Cordelia is only good on Angel.

ALSO ON THE FINAL EPS OF BUFFY S3 ok

She was my favorite character on Buffy until Anya. She was my favorite character on Angel until she...disappeared.

+Alan Hegewisch y'all are crazy, Spike is clearly the best character.

allyy I know they do look like snot

90s fashion is...unique

Yeah because 80s fashion is really dull in comparison... Muahahahaha -_-'

Cordelia does have some interesting wear.

I agree. But I think what made Buffy a positive role model is something you didn't touch on. Buffy learned and grew over time. She made mistakes, admitted her mistakes and changed in order to become a better adult. Almost no female characters actually do that in today's movies or shows. Even the "strong female characters" just arrive perfect, on day one they can do absolutely everything, without any hint they might fail. I guess studios think these impossibly perfect women are symbols of female empowerment or something, but honestly what kind of a role model is that? No one wants to be told they're expected to get everything right all at once, they want some one flawed who they can relate to, who eventually overcomes those flaws. That's what was wrong with Rey and live action Mulan etc...

@@benjamin6194 you are correct, she did grow over time. Good point.

not every tv show has to be a role model for its viewers. jeez

As well as Faith, Angel and Giles

If you're doing a rewatch, you can't skip anything! Otherwise its not a true rewatch. The only seasons you can skip are season six and seven, and that is because the Gift can function as a series finale if you want it too.

@@mayalackman7581 I could understand skipping season 7 but season 6 is one of my favorite seasons.

I accidently read "there are some nice underlying MEMES" instead of "themes" and i just shrugged and was gonna roll with it and was really curious about the memes this was connected to, until i reread it 😂

the show is well worth your time, push through season one and after that it is fantastic

I realize you posted this six months ago. But yes, it’s her. Also, she is married to the actor that played Fred (they were together prior to making the movies) and I believe they have 2 (maybe 3) kids

In the late 90’s early 2000’s That actress was in a lot of movies

She also played a victim in Scream 2 and the main character of the American version of The Grudge.

Becca Josephine It means that the show hasn't aged well

+SuperPianogirl123 except Buffy _did_ age well. I watched it two years ago and i loved it. I consider it the best show ever created.

Because everythings retro now and no one has any 2010s identity with exception to those aesthetics kids or whatever

@@littlefox7694 well let's be honest. The first and most of the second season didn't age well. From the third season on the show aged well. I definitely believe it's the best show ever made.

​@@mayalackman7581 i personally think season 2 aged great! I'm a teenager and on an emotional level I connected with it the most. I'll never forget the feelings I got from the finale, when I literally couldn't do anything for the rest of the day but rewatch the last scene and question what will happen next. Season 2 was awesome, gut-wrenching and shocking. I thought so two years ago, I think so now.

It also screwed up a lot at being progressive and seeing Joss whedon failing at feminism in buffy is also pretty good candy 🤣

Inb4 KENDRA DA VAMPAYA SLAYA

BtVS is certainly weird, but in a good way. That's why it's much beloved.

Abby Garza season is not the worst season. Season 4 was

@@Fierra2000 Season 4 was hampered by Seth Green and the woman who played Maggie Walsh leaving. Seth Green leaving derailed the Oz/Veruca arc and shortened it to only a couple of episodes. Maggie Walsh's actress leaving seriously screwed up the season arc.

i can't wait to watch season 4 just because spike becomes a main character

What annoys me is the way they treated the Oz werewolf the first time they showed his werewolf form it was a respectable costume but for some unknown reason that was the last time they treated his werewolf with respect all the rest of the series involving Oz werewolf they used a costume that resembled the little teddy bears they had in Star Wars think they are called Ewoks. Anyway it made me think that Josh Whedon wanted to humiliate Seth Green. In the Angel series when they added a werewolf girl character they used the respectable werewolf costume that they used for Oz first appearance. So they apparently had enough budget money to keep using the good werewolf costume

OMWF, absolutely amazing as it is, doesn't work as well out of context. It matters in the context of the show so very much, both from what came before and what comes after, that the best way to appreciate OMWF is to watch the whole show.

S K Omg, YESSS!

totally agree when i rewatched it, I thought it teaches u about life, its very adulty in ways where u would think its more for the younger audience. Very underrated.

The first season is only bad in comparison with how amazing the show becomes later on. Compared to most TV shows even the first season of Buffy is still pretty darn good.

Get a life fam

jared Ortiz - Luis Once again, it was a movie first, and that sums it up except that it is HILARIOUS!! ❤

season 1 WAS cheesey.... it was derived from old movies.... season 7 was rubbish. The in between was good but to be honest much as I loved the show the social commentary was also stupid since nust about everyone behaved in atrocious ways with little to no suffering for their poor choices. Williw kills people, angel turns creepy serial killer, faith goes gangsta, giles did some questionable things, spike murdered a ton of people and there were no consequences to speak of for any of them. I loved the show but its messages were at best mixed and since Joss turned out to be a sex creeper aswell I have to look back with mixed feelings on what it was actually about

Pool White What do you mean there were no consequences? All of the consequences were personal, not social. Angel and Spike pay for their sins plenty when they have souls, faith eventually realizes that "going gangsta" made her miserable and alone, Giles is atoning by helping Buffy, and Willow had to deal with the burden of losing people she loved because of her actions (namely the addiction to magic).

Buffy is my favorite show. It has a great metaphor, amazing writing and plots and characters. Also, it was cheesy af

Wouldn't it make more sense to do Angel since it shares a universe with Buffy

they should finish Angel that cliff hanger of Angel deserves justice!

I could never get into Charmed the way I got into Buffy.... And I really wanted to. Nothing has quite filled the Buffy shaped void in my heart

Natalie Perkins haha I have the opposite! Even though I loved Buffy the later seasons were meh and I liked charmed all through the eight year run

Gids12L angel really got predictable after the second season

jeff the accountant I always hated angel as a character so I could never get into the show. Firefly should have had at least as many seasons as Buffy tho, that movie was not a satisfactory end. :(

MiKey MoonShine, actually by not watching Angel you're missing out on A LOT. Some Buffy characters that left in season 4 get major character developments and story arcs on Angel (Cordelia, for instance). Also, many amazing characters (some are my favourites not only from the Buffyverse, but from anything i ever watched) get introduced. The big bad is way more serious than the Buffy ones, the storylines are funnier and darker than the Buffy ones. Also, theres this whole peaceful karaoke bar for demons. And more character deaths. Even though Angel isn't my favourite character at all, i still consider his show much stronger and better then Buffy. Its more mature, more fun, more tragic and more interesting. But just like in Buffy, you have to survive through season 1 to get to the good stuff.

Kristina Joy I always hated Joss's need to kill off characters for shock value. I'm still pissed about what happened with Tara. :/

MiKey MoonShine still missing out on a lot though. Cordelia. Hilarious and tragic plots. The flashbacks (especially the one that changes the China scene in "Fool for love" completely). Spike. And much more. P.S I love when some characters die because that actually makes you worry for them. Makes it unpredictable to watch. Not like most shows nowadays do: "oh we're not gonna kill any main characters because we're too scared to traumatise someone, but if we do kill someone we'll definitely bring them back next season!"

Lucia Fiorini me too! I loved the show

Malia Ferry yessssss , even though I watched the show more than 10 years ago , but I do remember this

Bri you deserve more upvotes

Damn, I loved the early episodes/seasons. I disliked Xenas daughter though 🤔 and also didn't like how they removed the male comic relief, after Xena and Gabriella were frozen and he got old

Yaaaaaaaas!! I fucking LOVED it as a child

Hush was great because it was Joss Whedon's way of thumbing his nose at the critics who said his plots rely way too much on dialogue.

agree not to mention Halloween! And how could he forget about angel.....

All right, I've just encountered this guy's channel for the first time, and now I want to see him cover, if no other part of Buffy, the Halloween episodes each season. Just those. And maybe the one where she's in a hospital and a monster is killing kids.

A lot of popular teen shows from the 90s/early 2000s started out cookie-cutter for the first season, but then came into their own mid-second season. I think that's what happened to Buffy, Smallville, etc.

@@MiaRosenbloom Similar thing with webcomics taking a while to really find their legs. Most of the awesome webcomics I enjoy regularly started off with the most amateurish art and storytelling and it took them a couple years before they got good enough to recommend. Any time you happen across a webcomic whose beginning looks shaky, compare the first page with the current/latest page. And if it looks good and you really can't sit through the opening bad, then skip forward a year or two, start reading, and see if you get hooked enough to go back and see the origins.

Friends, LOST, Dawson's Creek, The Sopranos, Cheers, etc ... influenced way much more than Buffy, because those shows got a worldwide success. Buffy didn't. Even thou i love Buffy and Sarah, this show had many mistakes in its developement. Many filler episodes and very bad done monsters. The childish way to represent the supernatural world was poorly written. Not even TVD was that. By the way, i watched The Vampire Diaries (which is also very great) and It's probably the next cult vampire show on TV.

Joey Peppers Actually the supernatural world as it is depicted is one of the best I’ve ever seen, much more interesting than the TVD. And Buffy paved the way for future shows, that’s literally a fact not my opinion. Watch Buffy references in TV and you’ll see what I mean, shows as big as the Simpson’s and Will and Grace have referenced it

@@jonanpeppers6448 Without BtVS, you wouldn't have had LOST, you wouldn't have had The Walking Dead. Hell, you likely wouldn't have had New Who. Filler episodes were a necessity for shows back in the day, as seasons were generally longer. Additionally, filler episodes allowed for character examinations, as well as light-hearted breaks between the heavy episodes. Of course there were mistakes. That's part of life. It happens. It helped, IMO, because it reminded us that the characters and the world in which they live wasn't perfect. The supernatural element of the show was all metaphors for growing up, and the troubles along the way. And finally, none of the shows you mentioned have college courses dedicated to them. Buffy does.

Joey Peppers you’re everywhere shut up

Ok Karen. The first season is constantly rated mid compared to later seasons and normally only outranks really bad seasons or simply is pushed up on lists “bc it started the series”. Buffy is a show that tackles misogynistic ideals since it started so get over it 😹
