Hate to say it, but I liked Spike more than Angel....until Angel was on his own show and they gave his character some personality and layers.

I'm Italian and, believe me, the poor guy that was chosen to "be his Italian voice", couldn't be more misplaced. Even for a foreigner like me (I can understand English quite well, but have the strongest Italian accent) listening to his low deep voice, growing weak sometimes, painting the scene with sounds, could make me understand everything, even if I didn't speak English.

There's a "noncanon" comic explaining the event from Halfrek's perspective. (It was part of the official comics though it wasn't written by Joss.) Spoilers: Halfrek was working as a vengeance demon under the guise of Cecily. She was at the party to carry out a vengeance curse on the guy whose 30th birthday it was as she had cursed his entire line generations ago. Her rejection of William may show that she may have liked him because it saved his life as the party was fated to be a deadly disaster due to the curse. She granted William's wish that "they were the bloody ones" and murdered everyone there. More than a century later, she returned to off the last remaining man from the direct line and Spike intervened as the hapless guy (who happened to be a poet) reminded him of himself and he was still bitter about Cecily's rejection perceiving her actions towards him as some act of vengeance at first. He managed to end the curse, though the guy died anyway. Halfrek admits she likes him and they kiss before Spike rejects her and throws her "beneath me" line back at her.

Having heard James talk about his girlfriend at the time's jealousy regards to his and Juliet friendship, you can kind of understand why. Their chemistry is off the scale. I'm a self confessed Spru shipper but the stark contrast Spike had in his demeanour to everyone other then the one he displayed towards Dru was my favourite version of him. He always had some humanity in him, over a hundred years with a highly fragile, oft erratic and somewhat flaky partner says a lot. I don't hold Dru responsible entirely for her faults as had they met as humans with a little change in birthdates they'd have been perfect for one another. Dru always saw the dreamer and creative side to William and prior to her turning Dru was devout and pious.

@parkavecat5 жыл бұрын
yeah they should've brought back juliet when they brought james back so we'd have more of that magical chemistry between them and it would be so interesting if it turned into a love triangle with buffy and all the drama that would result, sans harmony and all that nonsense. the 2 episodes that dru showed up in season 5 were my absolute fav of the whole season and took my breath away

And in many ways it did turn into the Spike Show, and by Whedon's hand no less, he made him the super-star by Season 5. Spike by the end of season 5 was his best version. No soul, yet deeply in Love with Buffy.

Always loved Spike I really felt for this character when he was William how he worshiped his mom and he was so sweet and kind, then his mom was so cruel to him you just saw his heart break,then you really understood why when he becomes spike he goes really crazy and off the rails.Deep down hes still that young sensitive guy wanting to be loved.
@TheAaronChand4 жыл бұрын
You can see why Spike was so different from Angel as a vampire even without a soul he had some Humanity in him. Because as a human he had such strong personality traits his extremely sensitive loyal and kind personality never did leave him. Where Angel as Liam was a drunk womanizer who had problems with his father and could never get his approval and fought in bars. And had very little attachments. With the exception of his sister Kathy.

@subutaynoyan53724 жыл бұрын
Yeah Spike's accent was really believable, if you really nit picked and paid attention, you could spot inconsistencies, which is normal since this is a television show and he can't just be perfect throughout a year. Whenever I rewatch Buffy, I still get annoyed with his pronounciation of the word ''can't'' though. He never solved that but still, he was great When you think about the usual american actor doing British accent, even the likes of the famous Peter Dinklage and all, his work is a masterpiece. And I'm actually glad that they didn't go too cheesy and tried to implement some Cockney nonsense, as if that's the only accent in London. And about the character, he was a true man of passion. Not stupid but never behaved smartly either. He just wanted something, and instead of giving up, or allowing something more productive or constructive to happen, he just insisted on his feelings and desires. His main difference with Angel is that, Angel is a man of reason. He needs a reason for his existence. Spike doesn't think too long on such matters, he's focused on passion. He wants to feel alive

Spike is the favorite character for mamy people. It's because he's charming, cool, funny, lovely, sometimes creepy, dangerous and he's some kind of trustworthy. He was everything. For example in the scene where he comes to kill buffy and finds Willow instead and can't bite hee because of the chip. He gets angry, he is the villian, The bad boy but when Willow blames herself for Spike's failure and says that she is not good enough, he just comforts her which is lovely and funny.
