James Marsters should have had his own spinoff!!!! He's so great!
Yes he should
@@fireyflower6643
I’m not
Q
Ikr, Spike is more worthy for a spinoff than Angel
I always love seeing actors embrace roles that they will forever be known for rather than act annoyed by it. He should be proud of Spike. That is one of greatest characters ever and he was pitch perfect as Spike.
I saw him at the 2003 Cleveland Vulkon convention, and there was this one couple who costumed themselves as Spike and Drucilla. This guy pulled it off so well that James actually nick-named him little Spike and called both of them out during his Q and A.
He asked the guy about his hair and he said he bleached it.
JAMES: Did it hurt?
LITTLE SPIKE: No.
JAMES: At all?
LITTLE SPIKE: No.
JAMES: Lucky bastard.
He is still gorgeous
Most definitely
Can I just say that he’s adorable
he is still hot
Oh yes!!!
Damn!
He did 100% the best not just british, but best London british accent, and not just that but it was the whole attitude and mannerisms of a real London geezer
Couldnt believe it, and was a real shock to find out he was American
Total Kudos to the guy
Really? Are you English? I LOVE Buffy and especially Spike, plus Captain John was brilliant but I've always thought his accent was terrible. Now Wesley had a fantastic accent.
Anthony Stewart Head who played Giles on the series, helped James with how to do the accent properly to make it more believable. The accent that Giles has is not his real accent
The 'Spike Movie' would make a fantastic comic series.
Would love to see spike as a human watcher married to Buffy and them running the slayer army while arguing Giles laughing at spike but kinda guiding willow Andrew and dawn interdimensional storylines and trying to figure out which of the new slayers the lastest prophecy is about you could have the old shoe as flashback s
Have you read the Bryan Lynch Spike comics they are really good and would be a great idea for a Spike movie
@@geraintthatcher3076 I have! Hence the suggestion for another comic book run based on his movie idea....
@@mazhippyatheart8059 YES!!!!!!!!!
James Marsters is so amazing.. He is down to earth, he is funny.. And he is a great narrator. I love Harry Dresden ONLY because of him..
Does this guy know he -as Spike- was one of the most gorgeous humans ever. EVER. lol
He’s sooooo humble and down to earth I love him he’s 58 now in 2021 and he’s still sexy
Perfect combination of actor and part. He explains it beautifully. He IS the souled Spike.
I've been so lucky to see JM live at dozens of cons, have met him many times. The most charismatic actor and person ever!
James marsters is amazing he's funny charismatic smart interesting dynamic just amazing and he's so invested in that character and he's so proud of that show and he's just amazing!!
He's an intelligent, artiiculate actor. So interesting to hear his accounts of the work in interviews.
I got mad excited when I saw him in an episode of Supernatural , he literally has not changed, he still looks the same
🙆🏼♀️ i KNOW Manic 🏳️🌈!! Weren’t James and Charisma Carpenter both so
TERRIFIC!!?! 🥰 i was thrilled to see them too! Like i didn’t LOVE Supernatural enough already!
Ya know?? 🤷♀️💋
James Marsters is an incredible character actor.
METHOD actor dude.
Is in the moment, lives for emotional enactments, lives in the scenes, makes them real, for the audience to feel.
Character actors, one time off
Supporting the leads, & Method actors, who take the reins of the show, along with Character actors, are the actors whom add the foundations to both scenes or their fellow actors. Support actors, do exactly that.
Theater actors consider Theater to be the best acting, but film, & TV actors find theater actors snobs.
I don't know why, there is such a gap, when TV & Film mediums can be just as tasking, & the work under appreciated.
Crew, Cast, & Stuntee's
I loved Buffy, & Angel🙍🏻♂️✌🏻🤦🏼♂️ 5th Season only. 🌃When James came on for one Season.
Because sadly like Buffy was cancelled, so was Angel, even tho, endings, tho budget nearly depleted, their endings were great, for what they had...🥀💀🥀😈❤️🤟🏼
Omg. How have I been a fan of his forever and I never knew his middle name was Wesley. 😯
I would give my right arm to see a show starring James and Nathan in a sci-fi Whedonesque show. They would make for tv excellence together.
It’s so weird hearing James without his spike accent lol
It's called acting.
And it’s _still_ very WEIRD josh72456 but thanx for pointing out the obvious like an ASS.
Thats called London british accent
Well he’s not British he’s from California
So who else is stoked for the revival? James wants it so bad he's coming unglued, and Nicholas Brendan is ready to dawn the tweed - as a watcher.
It's coming back with a brand new cast, and yes - it is the exact same universe.
Same Buffy, same Xander, same Giles - just 13 years later after the finale.
Don't know how many of the original characters will be involved, but at least two are predicted.
One of the most decent and kind men I've never had the pleasure of meeting, unfortunately.
James Marsters is a very interesting person and it is a joy listening to him
He... is... so... cool...
I love how he basicly explains the story of his Spike: Into the light comix
I like the way he treats each of these appearances as a performance.
He is gorgeous❤❤❤❤
My favourite role - so far - of his is Brainiac in Smallville - so damn good !!!
40:14 So, we're back to astronauts vs. cavemen, James? That is _so_ 2004. XD
Vorrei facessero un nuovo serial con James da protagonista assoluto... SE LO MERITA TUTTO...!!!!!! Lo abbraccio forte dall ltalia con affetto....
❤❤❤❤
Incredible panel! And the way he excused about 'There's no Santa Claus' was funny. He always manages up with all malfunctions. Mr. Marsters is the best.
He did not recover from that at all... He destroyed some kids world right in that moment haha. Vintage Spike haha
so excited when he talked about Dresden Files! I feel the same way about waiting for the next book.
I just watched a scene from THE MOUNTAIN there were tears on me.
Absolutely 💯
I saw him at a con like a month ago and he basically begged us to embarrass him
I should've asked him to do the chicken dance or something
I want to see Joss Whedon directing James Marsters, John Barrowman, and Nathan Fillion.
Sometimes I get the feeling he's not the biggest fan of Sarah.
It seems she was overworked and wasn't really happy near the end or the direction of her character, that energy can spread onto co workers and maybe she was a little snippy at times unconsciously as a result
This is William the Bloody better known as Spike. Playing the role of James Wesley Marsters
Smallville !
This is an interesting guy who fully embodies his name -- James Monsters.
my form is an actor and my form is a singer come at me joined me. ALL HAIL ZAMASU
i mean JAMES MARSTERS.😂
I thought James came straight out of theatre work then moved to la ? Was buffy not his first tv gig? How could he have worked with other directors before joss? Nobody knew who he was!! Unless it's theatre directors.
Lucia - He actually worked bit parts on several shows and movies before BTVS. I actually first saw him on Northern Exposure. But Spike was definitely his first BIG role. Cheers.
He's so inigmatic, honest, & true. Completely NATURALY
FN-! FUNNY!

is this in London, Ontario, Canada?
Yes
Very true about the fatigue factor and forgetfulness.
Important Columbine was in Colorado which is not “down south”.
this was in canada. he’s saying it as in south of the border.
I seriously doubt this was in London given the large number of Americans asking questions.
They are Canadians this is London Ontario.
London? There was like no brits lol
We can't afford the ticket's probably or the time off work lol
I think it's London Comic Con in London, Ontario, Canada (considering James did guest there in 2018 and I don't hear the audience's accent...which means they have my accent, and I'm Canadian). I'm going to assume the creators of this event thought only local people would be seeing it cause I mean, we know when you say "London" no one thinks "Canada", so if they thought people from out of province (let alone out of country) would be watching this it'd have probably been renamed to like "South West Ontario Comic Con" or something to avoid confusion, bit of an oversight on their part.
@@balthiersgirl2658 I think it's London, Ontario, Canada Comic-Con (which James attended in 2018, and also I can't hear their accent...which means they sound like me (a Canadian), whatever they sound like...). I don't think they realized people from outside the province, let alone outside the country, would be watching this when they shortened it to "London" otherwise they probably would have specified "London Ontario" or "South West Ontario" cause obviously London England is *the* London...a bit of an oversight.
Maybe it is wrong to disagree with the actor. But, while Spike wasn't exactly "good" obviously with the chip, he chose to go get his soul.
It was actually him falling for Buffy that started the transition. Originally, it was more an obsession than love and gradually changed into true feelings. But, it was a mix of obsession,beginnings of love, and finally once they became sexual partners it became a release for the evil that was chained,but still very much who he was.
I'd say the true beginning of transition was his attempted rape, obviously not the attempt itself, but Spike was truly horrified when he saw how much he hurt her by his actions. That event was the catalyst that made him choose his soul. And he paid a heavy price to get it. He could have simply asked for his chip to be removed or to become inactive.
He made the choice to get his soul back. If there were no good in there he would not have made that choice. He knew that he would have to face the consequences of dealing with his past from the perspective of a human with a soul. He knew that would not be easy. Yet, he made that choice as full vampire soulless Spike.
The Buffy/Spike relationship was not a healthy relationship while he was soulless. The reckless, raging, darkness clouded the gentle notes of love that had taken root within Spike. The lust and obsession were stronger within him than the roots of his true feelings for Buffy. Added to that, the sexual encounters were a way to release the bottled up frustration of a chained up monster.
But, the remorse he felt for hurting her with the rape attempt was very real. It was the one thing that was stronger than the monster within. It sent him on his journey to regain his soul so that he could be someone who could be what Buffy truly needed in a man. As a souless being, he finally realized that he could never be a good partner in a healthy relationship with her.
So, yes his soul brought him to the point where he could truly be good without the evil tainting it. But, he wasn't cursed with his soul. He made a choice to get his soul back. And for that reason, he actually became a more noble and deserving man than Angelus could ever be. This fact was highlighted in the final episode. Angel couldn't wear the talisman that ultimately played a key role in their victory, because he didn't choose his soul. Spike was the only being who could, who was worthy.
So regardless of all the bad things Spike did and what happened between him and Buffy, at least a spark of good developed within him before he ever regained his soul.
( Another note: Even long before that Drusilla said, "Not even I can help you now." when she showed up to remind him of being evil and help him by doing the harm and then getting him to drink the blood of the victim. Because she sensed, in her own Drusilla way, that underneath the obsession and lust true feelings were forming though overshadowed by the darkness that was the nature of Spike.)
In my interpretation Spike never chose to have his soul back. He wanted to give her what "she deserved" and wanted to go back "to the way he was" but in fact he wanted to get back to the time he did not care so he could kill her. He thought she deserved to die. He wasn't taken by guilt at the time. He only got his soul by "accident" he did not expect it. It's only after that he started feeling guilty. He could not really feel that without his soul.
@@Slaaverin It is open to interpretation, I suppose. However, that also leaves the medallion open for interpretation. Angel couldn't wear it, although he was also a vampire with a soul. It has been a while since I've seen it, so I could definitely be wrong, but I thought his reasoning behind not being able to wear it was because he was cursed with his soul, he didn't choose it.
I guess I will need to go back and watch that part. Who knows, maybe I have it completely wrong. I have to admit that without the medallion playing a role, your scenario does make sense and definitely sounds like a Spike type thing to do. And if I am wrong about the reasoning behind the medallion, perhaps you are right.
We all tend to have our own interpretations on things. It's an interesting possibility. I will be watching it again with that possible scenario in mind.
You said it PERFECTLY!!! 👏👏👏
So please don’t take this as a condemnation. I can’t describe how much I appreciate James! That being said, he still isn’t as perfect irl as he is in my head.
When he’s talking about the episode that was supposed to air right after Columbine, he gives the impression that Jonathan was up there getting ready to commit a massacre on the rest of the students. Jonathan was up there to commit suicide. Buffy essentially talked him down.
I don’t know if the network should have aired the episode when it was originally intended, to make a statement against school shootings/suicide, or if they did the right thing by being sensitive to the feelings of the people who were personally affected by Columbine. Either way, I really feel that James should have been clearer about Jonathan’s intent.
So disappointed. He seems really full of himself in spots. The icing on the cake is when he said that Victor Stein is the most evil of the parents in “The Runaways.” After having watched both seasons, Victor isn’t even in the top three. Way to inflate your character, James!
Yawn.
Huh??? He’s sooo humble and doesn’t like the lime light at all he’s sooo down to earth
Well....he is there to talk about himself
So..., James is sjw...
How disappointing
🙆🏼♀️But i HAVE to ask Don't Ask ... what’s
“sjw”??🤷♀️
