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
"the popular girl ins't very nice, i'm shocked"
*laughs in later episodes*
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.
Buffy's the kind of show that actually gets much better after season 1, which is not that common nowadays
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
Xander ain't no skater. That was the last time you see him stepping on a skateboard XD
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.
Buffy really does stand the test of time. It’s still amazing.
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.
As cheesy as Buffy is nowadays, we can all agree it's better than Riverdale.
Probably should clarify: what I meant was Buffy to some people is cheesy now but it's still better than Riverdale in terms of quality.
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.
"Well shoot can he call me too?" I love that part lol
ikr haha
the character development in buffy was phenomenal and the issues they dealt with the metaphors extremely well done
Buffy was the coolest show back then man
Buffy is still the best! Not technical with today's measure, but through its history and its dialogues.
Hanan Balushi I wasn’t a teenager in the 90’s but I still decided to check out Buffy and it was great.
Tuesdays were my favorite day BECAUSE of Buffy
Buffy is still awesomeeeeeee!
Still is!
3:26 "considering you're wearing snot green velvet pants! Where did you go dumpster diving last night?" 😂😂☠️
In the 90’s I owned those pants :(
Cordelia became easily one of my fav characters on television.
There was this ep were Buffy could hear everyone's thoughts and Cordelia was the only one who spoke exactly what she was thinking, it was such a good character decision.
And once she said something that really struck with me, it went kind of like: "shame is a wasted emotion. you are not going to be on your death bed thinking 'oh, I wish I was more shy'" or something like that
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!
Buffy is the mother of all fantasy teen show today (especially vampire diaries)
Buffy >>>> every other fantasy teen show
however vampire diaries is 10 times better ❤️
@@olganicole8021 no

"What? The popular girl isn't very nice?"
Of course the popular girl isn't very nice. It's the 90s.
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
"James Spader??? Well there's a random name i haven't heard in a while... What? Was he some dreamboat back in the 90s or something?"
*Shows a James Spader pic from the 90s*
"well..... shoot!! Can he call me too?"
LMAO!!!
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
As the seasons moved along... The show got better because the writers added depth to characters Xander, Willow, Giles, Cordelia and later Angel and Spike (w/drucilla). It was the show to watch in the 90's. Mixed typical teen problems and being the "chosen one"....
If you watched every episode, you'd get the corniness and quips in the show. It's part of the charm.
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
Buffy may be the best show I've ever watched. Yes, the first season isn't the best and it can be cringy, but it's magical, emotional, painful and intense. People die, things get hard and some episodes are one of the most amazing episodes I've ever seen from any show ever made. I remember crying so hard so many times. Hmmm, need to watch this again.
I fucking loved this show 😭
Fun fact: the term "google it" originated from an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
....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"....?
Watch the whole series and you will make another Buffy video titled, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the best show in the world. A lot."
Ooihhhh, see what you did there 😢💔
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.
The buffy musical episode is a national treasure.
Trueee
So you're telling me Uther Pendragon came back from the dead just to become a high school librarian?
Avoni C Yes love it
Omg I also thought that! Isn't the actor australian though and not british?
God damn Uther. I spend most of my time while watching Merlin hoping he dies.
Still tryna kill off the supernatural eh Uther?
@@legrandliseurtri7495 same he annoyed me so much. He treated Merlin like garbage.
I attempted to watch Buffy twice. The first time i could not get through the first season. I gave it another chance and finished the whole show. Best choice I've ever made.
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.
making fun of buffy is a sin against nature and you are now cursed forever by the dark gods
He better call Buffy then.
Merilirem Didnt you hear? Shes coming back!!! And this time shes black. Shes bringing the black in the back baby. Oh yeah...
The powers that be aren't going to like this.

I came here after watching the show, i literally cried.. 😩😭😭😭
Need to rewatch BBT.
Buffy really came into its own at Season Two. The end of Season One is a solid lead into it, but Season Two just takes off and *flies*, with Season Three really bringing a depth of characters you don't ever find on television.
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.
@@mayalackman7581 season 7 spuffy is bearable.
@@fangsabre Spuffy is my favorite ship of all time. Personally I can't stand Bangel though. I'm assuming your a Bangel person as most fans tend to be one or the other, so I guess

"Is this the end for Buffy?" Well, she died twice in the show, so who knows?
Hey, don't spoil him
That also crossed my mind, lol
Seeing as the comic keeps going, nah
Dizzy Lizzy There are no comics.
She also flightlined after Warren shot her so like, 2.5 times?
This made me want to watch Buffy all over again for 8th time 😁
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 😆
It's just funny the 90's was like let's slay vampires and 10 years later shows are now let's sleep with vampires.
Buffy did both
@@katelyntaylor7384 true 😹
i feel like this is a shade towards tvd 😭
Buffy is actually one thing that u need to keep watching
I think the realism is what makes the show. I mean they make jokes about saving the world and then going to the mall. Or when Buffys mom died the acting was so genuine (Oh my god that episode is literally the definition of heartbreak)
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
"Buffy The Vampire Slayer was a weird show..." OK we are crossing a line here!!!! >:-/
i know!! it’s already hard enough getting people to watch this amazing show and the title isn’t helping much..
@@zoesmith12 Yeah it was one of THE shows back then! I loved the characters and the universe around them! Also it is unbelievable how good the characters evolved and how new characters were introduced!

@@LEEYAHP It was all about the title! ;-)
If you watched further you would see she starts dating a vampire named angel
And GUESS WHAT?
Angel has had a ‘dark sinister past’ 😂😂
The edge being described gave me a paper cut
And then she kills him
Kelly H20 then he comes back as the ultimate edge lord (he has no soul)
Yeah, he used to go see Barry Mannilow in concerts :/
@@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.
Again the animation was excellent with another good video hats off to you sir. 😀

alex is right about the popular girl's clothing i mean what the heck
allyy it's kinda spice girls you know it, so I guess that meant cool af back then.

90s fashion is...unique
Yeah because 80s fashion is really dull in comparison... Muahahahaha -_-'
Cordelia does have some interesting wear.
"James Spader thats a random name i havent heard in awhile was he some kinda dream boat from the 90's or something well shoot call me too".
This line had me dying of laughter
Almost 18 years since it ended and I’m still not over it. This was such an awesome show.
This show will forever be one of my favs! Most written about pop culture phenomenon in academia. There are some nice underlying themes.
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 😂
"Well shoot.... Can he call me too? "
LmAo!!! 😂
"Well shoot,can he call me too?"- me at 21 drooling over TV characters that are way older than me
At least to me, Buffy started the trend of falling for vampires, but she had a heart and her story with Angel was the last truly tragic love story to grace the screens (my second favorite show ever). How someone can like empty Bella?
Edit: I know there were books such as Vampire Diaries and Vampire Academy, but I knew about them because of Buffy.
I was too young to see it on tv. So i only saw it when i binged it a few years ago and it was like having a huge piece of the puzzle filled in as far as lore, tropes and cultural references. Realizing so many books were loose fanfiction spun my head.
I feel like almost 90% of the shows that you've reviewed so far want to be "Buffy: The Vampire Slayer" in some way. The high school dramas, the shows centered around teenagers, and the Arrow superhero shows all follow the Buffy format. However, none of them manage to really be as good. The only one that manages to even get close (for me, anyway) is Season One of The Flash. Case in point, there's a reason why this show has college courses and academia dedicated to its writing.
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.
Do NOT diss Giles!! King of my heart
Buffy started out as a last second VERY low budget show. It was thrown in halfway into a season due to the show in the spot prior getting canceled. Or atleast that's something I remember hearing
I was in second grade and had a diary with Buffy and the co in the cover. Was the happiest kid then 😂
I hate when people say it is so 90’s when it comes to shows, movies and music..... Ummm they were made in the 90’s. Why wouldn’t they be “so 90’s” 🙄 🤦🏼♀️
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.
ok wait, is Buffy the girl who played daphne in the live action scooby doo???? I've literally never watched this show, I'm so surprised honestly.
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.
@@mythoughtsareblah where can I find it
Buffy is and always will be awesome. All the characters were awesome, Willow, Cordelia, Xander, Spike. Even the spin off Angel was good.
As well as Faith, Angel and Giles
I’ve seen this show and rewatched it more than I can count and it still stands better than most modern shows.
Buffy is one of the best tv series ever.
If there's a Buffy fan who hasn't done so yet, I strongly recommend you check out Passion of the Nerd's channel. If you're planning a re-watch, you can easily skip the first season by watching his Buffy Guide. It's excellent.
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.
Buffy was the best show on tv PERIOD
Honty have you wachted Angel.Cause i have.
BTW you should!
Angel is a very good show
Yes!!
Nikos Gazgalidis Angel season 5 was all kinds of awesome! both shows were the best of their time
Agree
They still hold one of the best dialogs, sense of humor up to date. They way they go from humor do scary, real life issues still amazes me. I was a teenager when Buffy was airing and I remember how into it I was. Now I’m rewatching everything. One of the best shows I’ve watched.
"Hey, What's your name?!"😃
"dAaAaRrLaAaAa"🥴🥴🥴
CORDELIA IS A QUEEN, HOW DARE YOU DISS HER GREEN ICONIC PANTS LIKE THAT
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.
you just pin pointed exactly what I love about this show. the characters are realistic. they have real people problems and they always feel like humans that make mistakes. and they grow and change. its just really relatable.
confessionsofoncer it why I hate shows that don’t do characters well though the concept of the show is good
The episode where her mom died was so freaking sad. One of the most depressing episodes in tv
Omg yes!!
Buffy was the best show ever, honesty still one of my favorites. She always displayed integrity, courage and loyalty. More shows need to focus on strong women, instead of reality/designer/bachelorette bullsh-t. As a fictional character Buffy is a positive role model. Which is more than I can say for most television shows.
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
Did you continue watching? The show is great and corny and addictive and awesome and did “inclusive” and “progressive” before it was cool and far more deftly than most things do 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
Also for TVD. But this channel is a parody for the people. Alex didn't continue watching TVD which is also great and smart. He "jokes" to famous shows, to get more viewers and subscribers. That's the joke over this channel hahaha
Kelly Pagano “inclusive” and “progressive” aren’t cool anymore because it is now mainstream.
@@ottovonbismarck5007 that time Buffy came out, too ! But it didn't seem like, although.
The British Librarian makes me flash back to a different show..... Oh boy Merlin.
Dylan Deters yes finally someone who knows the show
YES
Merlin was amazing!
Buffy is everything. I want to see him react to some of the more iconic episodes. Like "Once more with feeling" or "Hush".
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.
1:18 and then Xander never skateboarded again...

Buffy has been my favorite show for 19 years. It's very 90s but the the characters are just so easy to love and the interpersonal aspect of the show is just great. Oh and there are so many fantastic character arcs, like Willow's and surprisingly Anya's.
Once Spike is introduced, the show gets infinitely better
1. BUFFY IS ICONIC AND A MASTERPIECE
but everything you said was hilarious!!

Especially if like me you think Xander is a bit of a dick at least at first.
You just don t understand that everything you think is old cliché comes from...well, old tv shows. Buffy was incredibly modern and revolutionary for the 90', it s just useless to watch it now if you don t accept the fact this show is OLD.
I agree with you, but season one was still just OK, cept maybe for one or two good episodes. Season 2 was better and the towards the end of season 2 was where it hit it's stride and became great.
Agreed, but only for earlier seasons. It gets hella modernized towards the end of the show.
YTEdy that’s an opinion. Season 1 had more than 2 good episodes.
@@Fierra2000 OK, maybe 3, but that's as high as I go. :-)
I can explain in many ways how Buffy the Vampire Slayer is not “weird”. Also it was the first episode so they have to see what works and what doesn’t. The first season was the worst season since they didn’t really know if it worked or not. It definitely gets better in the second season. We also meet Spike, which is my favorite character.
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
My mother's a teacher, and when I was younger I had to follow her when she couldn't keep me home, and wait in the teacher's room.
I clearly remember seeing a few teachers watching this on an iPad the département had given them XD
Buffy was never “cheesy,” it was metaphorical. It explored the world of a young woman going through her teenage years, who had an immense amount of responsibility on her hands. From the very beginning the primary protagonist, Buffy, always had to consider whether she’d take her slayer responsibilities over her social ones. However, as the series progressed, she soon began to realize that there were more things that were crucial in life. You see, in nearly every episode the gang would meet a new antagonist, who served as a sort of archetype (something beyond what seems to be their purpose) and typically it would deal with the social issues that permeate a teenager’s life. And that my friend is why Buffy had tremendous success.

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
Buffy big bads:
The Master
Angelus
The Mayor
Adam
Glory
lifeless numbing depression, not of the feeling of sadness but the lack of feeling altogether, as if one was drowning while standing completely still, where nothing is truly wrong as if it could be fixed, but somehow everything is broken, still, silent, and empty.
The First
Mercury Sanda I will add Warren (season 6) I hated this guy more than all the others before. Probable because he was a human and it felt more real.
@@esbeelavallee2568 Or because he killed Tara. While aiming at Buffy. With an *impossible* shoot angle!All this just to turn Precious Cupcake Willow evil!!!GGGGGGRRRRRRR,I HATE THAT GUY!!!!!!!>O
@@WillowOsbourne I never understood why they didn't make stake-guns, like stake-firing guns, it would have saved so much time.
I was just thinking about that the other day! That shot was impossible from that angle :P
omg I was so sad when tara died, her and willow made the cutest couple
I met James Marsters (he plays Spike) at a convention when i was 17. Went with my best friend at the time, stood in line for like an hour to take a picture with him.. when it was my turn i literally couldn't talk. I squeaked. He was really nice about it though lol. I'll never forget that day 😍🥰
“Whaaat, the popular girl isn’t very nice….I’m shocked!”
He needs to watch the rest of buffy and then watch Angel…
“Random British guy”
Oh honey there’s about four of those in this show
if you do Buffy you NEED to do Charmed (the original)
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
TrainToAlaska i liked charmed but Buffy was much better . It was on every list abour best tv shows
The 1st season of Buffy is really bad but I promise by the end of season 2 it'll become your favorite show. Buffy is truly one of the greatest shows of all time. I don't think people realize how influential it was for both tv and society.
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.
Love the late 90s rock music playing in the background
“ Ooook .... I’ll just be over here talking to anyone else ... SOMEBODY? “ 😂😂😂
Keep watching Buffy, it gets way better after the first season.
Man I’m studying for exams and now I want to rewatch buffy
Lucia Fiorini me too! I loved the show
Buffy is an amazing show, I only watched it recently but I love it! Buffy, Xander, willow and even Giles were so little lol
"was he hot or something in the 90s?" "....well shoot can he call me too?" I'm DYING😂😂
BUFFY IS THE MOST EPIC, ICONIC, WELL PACED, AWESOMELY LAYERED AND HAD THE BEST CHARACTER ARCHS OF LIKE ANY SHOW OF ALL TIME AND IF YOU DONT GET TO AT LEAST SEASON 4 THEN YOU HAVENT EXPERIENCED *BUFFY*
also the character building of spike is my favorite thing from buffy like season 4-6 for him were so AMAZING OMG ADKFJKSJF
Season 1 is a little rough, James Masters come in Season 2 as Spike and takes Buffy to a whole new level
Malia Ferry yessssss , even though I watched the show more than 10 years ago , but I do remember this
I’m a Gen-Z but my millennial 90’s heart loves it when I see he’s done things like Buffy, Gilmore Girls, Supernatural and just kinda cheesy and entertaining things I love them
Lol every video Alex makes ALWAYS has people saying "you NEED to watch EVERY SINGLE EPISODE otherwise your missing out it gets so much better" lol
...but it's *Sarah Michelle Gellar!*
That means it was the *_BEST_* show!
Was?
Buffy Summers > Captain Marvel
Sarah Michelle Gellar > Brie Larson
I love Buffy the vampire slayer😍😍 I'm 15 so it was recommended by my older sister and it really is better than a lot of the current TV shows on today
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!"
Omg it makes me so uncomfortable how he so falsely calculates every character 💀💀💀💀
Buffy was truly a masterpiece that will stand a test of time
Buffy The Vampire Slayer became increasingly entertaining over time, sometimes having brief moments of extreme brilliance.
...okay now do Xena: Warrior Princess
Bri you deserve more upvotes
Yeeeeessssss
*_YES!!!_* I watched Xena religiously when I was a kid! Love that show! But I have no idea how well it's held up since then.
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
I have so many stranger memories of this show and the types of fans it created.
I will still take Buffy's Fandom over Twilight's Fandom any day.
This show has to be my favorite show of all time. I’ve watched it like 3 times
3 times? Those are rookie numbers, you have to pump those numbers up.
Cirrus Tate challenge accepted
@@user-pq6rm1be4q I'm in the middle of it right now, so you could say I'm at 3 1/2. Haven't been able to find the time to watch the rest of it (hopefully I'll be able to soon 😂)
@@cirrustate8674 for real
Willow - one of the cutest and goodest characters at the same time with one of the best character arcs in all of 90s entertainment...
Oh, my sweet Willow... =D
SHE'S actually the reason I decided to stick with this TV show...my sweet cupcake Willow...!:-3
She's my favorite character from the show and one of my favorite characters on tv in general. My 14 year old cat is named after :)
‘goodest’
Indogene Doctor damn your cat is old.
Man, I was 15 at the time. She was like my biggest crush.
Picky picky, this is just the 1st season, stand alone/filler episodes like Hush make it stand out way above most.
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.
Ok. For buffy investigating the dead body. THE WORD FOR NO BLOOD IS ANIMEA. And the "two little holes" would be a puncture or incision (stretch) or something besides HOLES.
I watched Buffy for the first time five years ago, when I was in my 20s, and I was blown away by it. Season one is rough, but after that, it’s great. I was like you and liked it for the characters-and it never let me down the whole seven seasons, in that respect. The characters are the heart of the show, and that is why this is one of my favorite shows ever even though I didn’t actually watch it as a teen in the ‘90s.
Omg teacher introduced this show to us. We watched the entire show until the end of the school year.
Omg lucky
Have you ever seen "Why you Should Watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer" by PassionoftheNerd? 10/10 would reccomend
YES! I love TPN! Best Buffy guides on YT! :)
Jonesing for the next one of his. He's going full time in September.
Ibkbffjill730 is good for the comics if you're interested too.
Kat Welham I've been dying for a new one too! And I have yet to read the comics, but it's on my list because I'm a die-hard Buffy and Angel fan for the TV shows
darla is one of my favourite characters but that impression SENT me
You are right, everyone loves Buffy! That and the 90s were weird, just imagine the terror of being a teenager then. Buffy was actually a saving grace😛
