Stopping bullets s one thing, but whoever came up with the idea of turning 1 grenade into 3 doves, as a display of badassery...... genius and hilarious!
Maybe a person that watched Sleeping Beauty (from 59 not the shit with Angelina Jolie) the fairies turn stones into bubbles, arrows into flowers and boiling oil into a rainbow to protect the prince.
Turning the gunshots into doves is symbolic of turning war into peace. It was the clip they used in the commercial for this episode, and I absolutely had to watch it.. Still one of my favorite scenes to this day.

Not sure about that, as it wasn't just Buffy vs Adam. Buffy, on her own wouldn't have been able to defeat Adam. Can't even use the Terminator aspect either. Adam was an abomination of man, demon and machine.
I always loved the concept of the Primeval spell since it completely encapsulates what the series is all about: Buffy’s metaphorical sides (Heart, Mind and Spirit) aka her friends and Watcher making her the strongest and most special slayer in history. 🙂
And they channeled the power from the first slayer. That was saying an ancient language Adam couldn't understand. Adam could understand any other demon or language

No she couldn't. You forgot that Giles said that Glory wasn't at her full power because she's been trapped inside of Ben for a very long time. Glory only had immense super strength and super speed and durability. Super Buffy was immensely strong, fast, and had magical capabilities...no contest.

Something I love about this scene is that that spell she casts to become bullet proof was eventually explained as being Sumerian. Because now I have an excuse to imagine Sumerian sorcerers fighting off time travelers with machine guns. And or aliens.
While an entertaining thought, I imagine the spell was intended to stop more period-appropriate projectiles like arrows, but it works against bullets just as well.

Out of every episode in all the series this is my favorite 3 mins. The part where she stands up with her eyes changed reciting Sumerian gives me goosebumps , then she just totally outclasses Adam ( turning his grenade into peace doves ) , finishing with " you can never hope to grasp the source of our power , but your's is right here " then proves it by showing him it .
Adam was the best boss character on this show. Until the moment when Buffy killed him, he never lost his temper. All the others, from The Master to Caleb gave in to their anger, which gave Buffy an opening to defeat them.
Angel was better at times. imo. I made my boyfriend watch Buffy & Angel in chronological order, so he didn't miss out on the crossovers. He preferred Angel most of the time.

I absolutely love Buffy and she's my favorite Slayer, but this is Sineya the First Vampire Slayer's power! She killed an Old One w/Scythe which is what Illyria is in full powered form. Sineya really is a true representation of a Slayer that can be put with the ranks of The First, Caleb, Hamilton, The Beast, Jasmine, Glory, and Illyria. She's proved to be badass enough!
Gabriel Maregatti Allende They still were names enormously powerful to the series and that's what I meant by the list, they had times they could have killed Buffy while they weren't bloodlusted or her being aided by friends. Times like Caleb at the school after he knocked her out, Angel saving her from death by her own Scythe, or Glory at Buffy's house and at Sunnydale Zoo. Giles killed Ben/Glory, Buffy had a chance to but didn't and so did both Caleb and Glory if you think about it.
+Gabriel Maregatti Allende Buffy only killed Caleb because she had the scythe, plus Angel came to the aid. Secondly, Glory was bar none the hardest villain in either show to defeat, Buffy didn't even defeat her by herself, she had help. It took a spell from Willow, the Dagonsphere, Tara's sense of direction, The Buffybot, multiple hits with a weapon with the essence of a god and a wrecking ball to put Glory down. Besides, Glory, if she weren't batshit crazy, should've and undeniably had the power to slaughter the Scoobies in one episode.
+Gabriel Maregatti Allende Do remember that whilst Glory was a God, she had to be contained within a human body, so she was not able to express the full extent of her mystical powers. If she were fighting Buffy in her (Glory) most divine and godly form, she would have completely murdered Buffy within seconds, she was a God after all, it's just that her full power could not be contained within a human; it would have been illogical.
The difference is, Glory is much more powerful than Adam. As Buffy pointed out you can't beat her by simply "pulling out a uranium core". Glory would still beat Super Buffy after a good fight. And in the next episode the spirit of the first slayer warned them not to do it again.
@@Jvr_bz bc it corrupts the essence of the slayers power. Shes supposed to be alone. And if they did it again shed prob jus come back to haunt them...again
Dudeeee I remember being so hyped and jumping with this scene. The slayer alone is powerful but it pays off to have a powerful witch on your team lol aaand THAT was just the beginning of Willow.
I loved the look on Adam's face when the world suddenly stopped making sense to him. First his bullets were stopped in mid-air for no reason he could understand. Then, to make it quite clear that he had no idea what was going on, his missile turned into three doves. Why couldn't she use the same approach to shut him down more quickly and less violently than she actually did? We can't know - it has something to do with limitations on her powers that we know nothing about. That's the point - he didn't know what those limitations were, either. Had he known, he might still have been able to defeat her. But because he lacked that understanding, he was doomed to defeat. I think it's likely that the trick with the doves was deliberately done for the purpose of demoralizing and distracting him - which implies that there's something he might have been able to do against her had he not been demoralized and distracted.
Not another Buffy, but there have already been other slayers. I think you'll find it resurfaces eventually after time, as long as it has good writers it can go on as long as dr who.
I hope if they do reboot it, it's not a continuation of the show... I LOVE the comic book continuations and are just as good as the show was. imo.. but if they do want to place it in the same universe, I would be happy with anything.
Buffy, like Jesus, Socrates, Joan of Arc, and Abraham Lincoln, discovered that some of her worst enemies were people who were ostensibly on her side -- Faith, the Watchers' Council, Riley's military associates (who created Adam), and even Xander and Willow (the former when he lied to her to get her to kill Angel, the latter when she was crazed with grief over Tara's maddeningly senseless death). George Bernard Shaw, in his towering masterpiece "Saint Joan", tells us the hard truth about our benighted race: NOBODY wants a saint around, except for what they can get out of them.
xander did not lie to her kill angel he lied becouse the chance the spell would work was small buffy let anglus kiil for mouths, stop acting like she perfect
Saints are just faces at the end of the day. Its the people that put the Faces together, that give meaning to the Faces. They are the unsung heroes that do what no one else are willing to do; who wants a book on how councils have united nations together, when it is so much more comforting to here about 1 perfect Saint that has all the words we want to hear.
"You could never hope to grasp the source of our power." Yeah, because you combine all the best aspects of multiple beings into one creature! No way Adam could ever understand that! Wait.
the point of the fight and the whole season is science vs magic. Adam was made thanks To science and buffy used Magic and there's no way he can understand that or beat that.
Buffy won because they combined all their strengths together with the 1st slayer as the base so its not just them but the strength of every slayer up to Buffy in one vessel as well but the next epp. they paid the price for invoking the 1st slayer as she gave them bad nightmares
Yeah indeed ! The fact that she combined her strength with the Scooby Gang and the Powers of The First Slayer DEFINATELY took Adam Down !!!!! ;) Yeah absolutely, The First Slayer came into their dreams to kill them !!! They defied the Source of the Power of the Slayer !!!
there was something else there. The slayers had the strength but Willow couldn't had caused spells that powerful early in the series and even when she went Dark Willow she needed assistance and tara's death to be the drive for revenge meaning the 1st slayer had access to spells from an Original source hence the dead launage spoken, a barrior to repel bullets, transmogcation for the missle and a crush/heat spell the heat of lava to crush adam's core.
I just want to correct the description that the movie Matrix came out March 31, 1999 and this episode was aired May 16, 2000, so no buffy didn't matrix before the matrix :p
Low key i think it did the blocking of bullet wall before it happened in revolutions for the first time. In the first movie, you saw the bullets slow down from neo's perspective but didn't see the forcefield wall effect to them
No it's mixed with the first slayers voice whedan confirmed it it's her power mixed with buffys the first ever slayer was the most powerful slayer because of her direct contact with the shadow demon who created the slayer
Damn this was such a good season. With the initiative, the first slayer, scoobies coming into adulthood, foreshadowing of Glory and Dawn, I miss this show
I always thought it was Giles knowledge of magic added to Willow's magic power that was the effect. Giles was always more knowledgeable than Willow in regards to magic, but Willow had magic 'power' that Giles lacked. So it opened up all the spells Willow that she didn't know. I also figured all the perfect fighting Buffy does at the end, was from Giles knowledge of fighting techniques that he teaches Buffy in training. I never quite understood why they needed Xander. Though I guess without 'heart' she could have been evil (like Dark Willow) and just would have gone on a rampage. Certainly not allowing Riley to touch her chin like that at the end. Just my theory.
Good observation. I agree. Xander was an anchor. Ppl always say that this is Sineya and not Buffy, Sineya was only needed for access and permission to bond with the primal power of The Slayer. So this "god mode" version is only god mode because she is now The Slayer with the power of a witch and warlock. Notice she was still fairing well against Adam in the beginning of the fight.
Funny in the next season the demon that gave Buffy her powers were angry because she tapped into god power and so they trapped her and her friends inside a dream.
The slayer scythe appears in Rumple's castle, really? Which episode? I remember something which looked like Thor's hammer appears there, but not the scythe .
I liked Addam you can tell they got the idea from Frankenstein but Adam was pure Evil tho the concept of him made by other demon parts was amazing even the build up at the start of Season 4 he was in that room the whole time..This show had good writing and concepts Maggie Walsh was the real villain of the Season aswell from creating him I loved how Adam explained what she planned from the start in the Season Finale it was her master plan except she thought she'd be alive tho....This was my Favorite Season of Buffy.
The problem with Adam is that he was hardly developed, he appeared too late (mid season 4, I believe) and he didn't killed him in the season finale. But yeah, he was great, but he wans´t much around like Glory, Spike and Drusilla or even the Trio.
Yea ...glory was a god all the time. ..Buffy had to do a spell to kill Adam...glory wouldn't have given her the time to prepare ..and she could do it without the unnecessary machine gun
@Perspective Outlets In Spiral right after Glory finds out Dawn is the key. Buffy: “We can’t fight her.” Giles “Well not yet”. Buffy “No not ever. She’s too strong Giles. We are not gonna this with stakes or spells or pulling out some uranium core. She’s a god and she is coming for us.” The enjoining spell was a spell, and based on that quote she implies it wouldn’t work. Based on feats without the hammer I doubt it would anyway.
That was the only bad thing about Buffy was the ''Oh look the stunt double is a dude!" at times even though Sarah's double was usually a girl always made me laugh.
You know, it just occured to me that if this is the power of the First Slayer, can you even imagine how powerful the demons of her time must have been? Buffy couldn't even put a dent in Adam, but the First Slayer ragdolled him around like he was nothing. She must have fought uberdemons all the time that would make modern slayers piss their pants.
I hear Sineya's voice! which we only get to hear 2 seasons later when Buffy needs advice for facing the First wow that's some planning and foreshadowing
what i love about this sence, remember the fight buffy had with her freind SHE wanted to fight him alone. it show once again she can not win without her friends i wish she learn that and work with them more.
Weird--I don't recall Adam's voice being this clear. Granted, I don't think I've seen this episode since it first aired, but it was always so distinctive I thought I remembered it better.
One of my favorite scenes in alll of Buffy! From the part where the enjoining spell began up to when it kicked in was just epic, it was a great climax after all that build up. However I do wish that the fight lasted longer. For how badass the idea was, the super primeval Buffy deserved at least a couple more minutes of screen time lol. 🤣
That was always kinda the problem with this show. Everything was solved with magic. Why could they bring Buffy back from the dead with a spell but no one else? Whatever was convenient for the plot if guess. Luv the show tho..
Because the spell that brought Buffy back was only allowed by Osiris since she was killed by mystical energy, not natural order. When Tara died, Willow tried to plead with Osiris to bring her back but he refused. Also the urn that was used for the spell (which was the only one in existence) was destroyed. And dawn did do a spell to try and resurrect Joyce but there was a chance that she wasn't going to be true, so she stopped it.
Bring back Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy. Or bring back the show period. Please. Oh and does anyone else think that this is what riley was thinking when he saw Buffy holding adams heart? "Damn baby. A little much dont ya think?"
When people wanna question buffy speed remember she easily dodged multiple bullets from a Gatlin being used by a super computer cyborg reacted to a missile .
I'm sure he was aiming accurately as a cyborgsoldier. Shes The Slayer, she dodged his ass. Faith did the same when Angel tried to take her out with a shotgun at close range. She was fast and agile enough to evade the blasts.
I like them too, but I also like. Xena: Warrior Princess, Dark Angel (Max), Alias (Sydney), Charmed (Prue, Piper, Phoebe, and Paige), Heroes (females), Charlie's Angels, Relic Hunter (Sydney), Wonder Woman, Supergirl (Kara), V.I.P. (with Vallery Irons), MARVEL/DC (females), Mortal Kombat (females), Tekken (females), Dead or Alive (females), Bloody Roar (females) and Street Fighter (females). I should probably stop now... LoLz
I remember this is when I stopped watching for a bit because ADAM was such a random villan but when I saw her turn into a superbeing I was impressed with this and for Riley the eye candy of course lol
That's the mistake of previous Slayers: fighting alone. That's why Slayers died so young and quickly. Nikki Wood, for example, would still be alive and very old by the 90s and might even have killed Spike and raised Robin if she had friends in New York. Remember Spike killed two Slayers, but the third he tried to kill he was prevented by the Slayer's mom with an axe.
@isabellafelipedeoliveiraca6698 I absolutely agree! I love Buffy a lot; it's my all-time favorite show. I constantly watch reruns. But Buffy would've been dead as soon as episode 3 if Giles hadn't known the magic to reverse the hex that was placed on her
Stopping bullets s one thing, but whoever came up with the idea of turning 1 grenade into 3 doves, as a display of badassery...... genius and hilarious!

I just love how the actor of Adam nails it. From mild irritation to complete confusion to absolute panic in a few scenes. Excellent work.
A common thing with Buffys main villains lol they're always so cocky until she comes back with a solid plan and beats their azz lol
'you can never hope to grasp the source of our power...but yours is right here.' i think about this line all the damn time

I love the fact that Buffy didn't only fight vampires.
She fought Terminator-Frankenstein.
There were a lot of sci-fi shows such as ds9 and b5 it was an attempt to bring sci-fi into the show but fans didn't think Buffy should do that.
Buffy also fought: Demons, zombies, other humans, other slayers, witches, cyborgs, robots, werewolves …..
she also fought republicans
She fights the Evil, in every its form.
The way Adam transforms his arm into a fricken minigun & says ‘I’ve been upgrading’ was so epic to me.
Very Iron Man
reminds me when I told my wife"were not eating pollo loco tonight!!!

MsThesuitelife Even in her human form, Glory should have murdered Buffy in a matter of seconds. She has the power to do so.
Sarah Michelle Gellar was one of those childhood crushes of mine, and I loved tha show on top of enjoyin’ Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds 🔥
this part was sooooo awesome! Would've loved to see it again with her fighting Glory and the final battle omfg
The difference is, Glory is much more powerful than Adam. As Buffy pointed out you can't beat her by simply "pulling out a uranium core". Glory would still beat Super Buffy after a good fight. And in the next episode the spirit of the first slayer warned them not to do it again.
Buffy had to kill herself to stop glory
@@gMLbn8unEMKv2FzhrEBAjLgrHtNQjU the first slayer haunted her and warned her not invoke this "God mode" spell again.
Nd O excuse me,can you tell me why? What are the consecuences?
@@Jvr_bz bc it corrupts the essence of the slayers power. Shes supposed to be alone.
And if they did it again shed prob jus come back to haunt them...again
Dudeeee I remember being so hyped and jumping with this scene. The slayer alone is powerful but it pays off to have a powerful witch on your team lol aaand THAT was just the beginning of Willow.
I loved the look on Adam's face when the world suddenly stopped making sense to him. First his bullets were stopped in mid-air for no reason he could understand. Then, to make it quite clear that he had no idea what was going on, his missile turned into three doves. Why couldn't she use the same approach to shut him down more quickly and less violently than she actually did? We can't know - it has something to do with limitations on her powers that we know nothing about. That's the point - he didn't know what those limitations were, either. Had he known, he might still have been able to defeat her. But because he lacked that understanding, he was doomed to defeat. I think it's likely that the trick with the doves was deliberately done for the purpose of demoralizing and distracting him - which implies that there's something he might have been able to do against her had he not been demoralized and distracted.
because she wanted to beat his ass for a semester of turmoil
Adam should have learned Magic when he had the chance with all those demon parts attached.
VERY simple to understand ...................... the Doves represent PEACE . He was war and she stopped him.
One of the best fights the battles in Buffy most of them have great action scenes as well as personalities keeping us interested
There will *never* be another Buffy, *_not_* without *Sarah Michelle Gellar* ☺😊.
Not another Buffy, but there have already been other slayers. I think you'll find it resurfaces eventually after time, as long as it has good writers it can go on as long as dr who.
Hate to burst your bubble dude but I'm almost completely certain I read somewhere that there's talks on rebooting the show
I think we'll get another Firefly reboot before we get any Buffy spin-offs or reboots. lmao
I hope if they do reboot it, it's not a continuation of the show... I LOVE the comic book continuations and are just as good as the show was. imo.. but if they do want to place it in the same universe, I would be happy with anything.
that 80's girl it’s not a continuation, they said it’s a new slayer
Buffy, like Jesus, Socrates, Joan of Arc, and Abraham Lincoln, discovered that some of her worst enemies were people who were ostensibly on her side -- Faith, the Watchers' Council, Riley's military associates (who created Adam), and even Xander and Willow (the former when he lied to her to get her to kill Angel, the latter when she was crazed with grief over Tara's maddeningly senseless death). George Bernard Shaw, in his towering masterpiece "Saint Joan", tells us the hard truth about our benighted race: NOBODY wants a saint around, except for what they can get out of them.
Oh shit .. Beautiful words u wrote there
Really intellectual comment.
Wow beautifully written, this is also the destiny of an empath, people will always dislike you eventually...
xander did not lie to her kill angel he lied becouse the chance the spell would work was small
buffy let anglus kiil for mouths, stop acting like she perfect
Saints are just faces at the end of the day. Its the people that put the Faces together, that give meaning to the Faces.
They are the unsung heroes that do what no one else are willing to do; who wants a book on how councils have united nations together, when it is so much more comforting to here about 1 perfect Saint that has all the words we want to hear.
"You could never hope to grasp the source of our power."
Yeah, because you combine all the best aspects of multiple beings into one creature! No way Adam could ever understand that!
Wait.
the point of the fight and the whole season is science vs magic. Adam was made thanks To science and buffy used Magic and there's no way he can understand that or beat that.
+demiserofd XD XD
Buffy won because they combined all their strengths together with the 1st slayer as the base so its not just them but the strength of every slayer up to Buffy in one vessel as well but the next epp. they paid the price for invoking the 1st slayer as she gave them bad nightmares
Yeah indeed ! The fact that she combined her strength with the Scooby Gang and the Powers of The First Slayer DEFINATELY took Adam Down !!!!! ;) Yeah absolutely, The First Slayer came into their dreams to kill them !!! They defied the Source of the Power of the Slayer !!!
there was something else there. The slayers had the strength but Willow couldn't had caused spells that powerful early in the series and even when she went Dark Willow she needed assistance and tara's death to be the drive for revenge meaning the 1st slayer had access to spells from an Original source hence the dead launage spoken, a barrior to repel bullets, transmogcation for the missle and a crush/heat spell the heat of lava to crush adam's core.
I just want to correct the description that the movie Matrix came out March 31, 1999 and this episode was aired May 16, 2000, so no buffy didn't matrix before the matrix :p
tnykuuh haha still its more epic than anything the matrix did after the 1st movie haha
tnykuuh well they do film them before the aired time...
Low key i think it did the blocking of bullet wall before it happened in revolutions for the first time. In the first movie, you saw the bullets slow down from neo's perspective but didn't see the forcefield wall effect to them
If Buffy Summers were ever to be a guest character in Mortal Kombat, this would be one of her fatalities: going God Mode!
I just love seeing someone as small as she is kicking the butt of someone much bigger than her.
Adam: [before fighting Buffy] "I do appreciate violence."
2:20 FINISH HIM
2:28 FATALITY!! BUFFY WINS
Dave L' Ammazzavampiri GET OVER HERE!!!💀---------'>😱
2:19 and 2:27 works a bit better
That wpuld b cool if they brought buffy in mortal combat. Thet brought shaggy and jason so y not?
One of the BEST scenes in the whole series!
To create "God Mode" Buffy's voice, they overlaid the other three's - Willow, Xander and Giles - voices over Buffy's, right?
Indeed they did.
No it's mixed with the first slayers voice whedan confirmed it it's her power mixed with buffys the first ever slayer was the most powerful slayer because of her direct contact with the shadow demon who created the slayer
They did. You can kinda hear Giles' voice, but Xander's seem to be the loudest under Buffy's.
Damn this was such a good season. With the initiative, the first slayer, scoobies coming into adulthood, foreshadowing of Glory and Dawn, I miss this show
I always thought it was Giles knowledge of magic added to Willow's magic
power that was the effect. Giles was always more knowledgeable than
Willow in regards to magic, but Willow had magic 'power' that Giles
lacked. So it opened up all the spells Willow that she didn't know. I
also figured all the perfect fighting Buffy does at the end, was from
Giles knowledge of fighting techniques that he teaches Buffy in
training. I never quite understood why they needed Xander. Though I
guess without 'heart' she could have been evil (like Dark Willow) and
just would have gone on a rampage. Certainly not allowing Riley to touch
her chin like that at the end. Just my theory.
Good observation. I agree. Xander was an anchor. Ppl always say that this is Sineya and not Buffy, Sineya was only needed for access and permission to bond with the primal power of The Slayer. So this "god mode" version is only god mode because she is now The Slayer with the power of a witch and warlock. Notice she was still fairing well against Adam in the beginning of the fight.
+djmixnmagic ...but yours is right here.
You Cannot Grasp the True Form of Giygas' Attack!”
I understood that reference!
The source was a magic gourd.
Funny in the next season the demon that gave Buffy her powers were angry because she tapped into god power and so they trapped her and her friends inside a dream.
The music in the beginning gets me so hyped for Buffy fights.
One of my favorite scenes of Bufffy, and its 2019 ...Buffy for ever
YES!!!!!!!!
Buffy pulling out Adam's uranium core ... Would then manifest itself later into Once Upon A Time and pulling out hearts.
+Puggalug Then crushing them, like an Evil Queen.
+MsThesuitelife its like a lava heat spell "crush and burn like Volcanic air" so kinda like a crush, teleport and heat in one
It's funny, because the Slayer Scythe appears in Rumplestilkins castle
The slayer scythe appears in Rumple's castle, really? Which episode? I remember something which looked like Thor's hammer appears there, but not the scythe .
Puggalug In a fair few episodes, most notably 'Skin Deep'.
The episode came out in 2000, The Matrix was from 1999, and I'm certain the movie was an inspiration for the episode.
Buffy - 'Broke your arm'
Adam - 'Got another'
Me - 'OH SHIT!' 😳
Later:
Adam: "I'm gonna kill you with my machine gun arm."
Buffy: "What arm?"
Great a line at the end - "You'll never grasp the source of our power. But yours is right here."
I liked Addam you can tell they got the idea from Frankenstein but Adam was pure Evil tho the concept of him made by other demon parts was amazing even the build up at the start of Season 4 he was in that room the whole time..This show had good writing and concepts
Maggie Walsh was the real villain of the Season aswell from creating him I loved how Adam explained what she planned from the start in the Season Finale it was her master plan except she thought she'd be alive tho....This was my Favorite Season of Buffy.
I believe adam is one of the best villains I've ever seen he reminds me a lot of the terminator
I don't care what others say, I thought Adam was badass.
Yeah I liked him as a villain too. But season 4 was still relatively weak overall compared to the others.
The problem with Adam is that he was hardly developed, he appeared too late (mid season 4, I believe) and he didn't killed him in the season finale. But yeah, he was great, but he wans´t much around like Glory, Spike and Drusilla or even the Trio.
I think Buffy was more scared of Maggie than Adam.
Season 5's still the weakest season. Glory was easily the worse Big Bad. If anything there was too much of her. It got boring.
Bloody useless i liked glory
Glory woud have laughed about that spell. That is why this series is so damn well written.
Yea ...glory was a god all the time. ..Buffy had to do a spell to kill Adam...glory wouldn't have given her the time to prepare ..and she could do it without the unnecessary machine gun
Buffy actually implies this spell wouldn’t work against her
@Perspective Outlets
In Spiral right after Glory finds out Dawn is the key.
Buffy: “We can’t fight her.”
Giles “Well not yet”.
Buffy “No not ever. She’s too strong Giles. We are not gonna this with stakes or spells or pulling out some uranium core. She’s a god and she is coming for us.”
The enjoining spell was a spell, and based on that quote she implies it wouldn’t work. Based on feats without the hammer I doubt it would anyway.
1:56 though!!!!! 🙌👊💘
fight scenes and special effects were so good considering the time.
Personally, I would've just waved my hand and turned him into a flock of pigeons. But, you know... that's just me.
I would of turned him into a pizza, and eaten the pizza.
the best buffy moment i've ever seen :)
This scene and Buffy vs faith
Too bad Sarah had lost so much weight during Seasons 3-4 that her stunt double was way too noticeable
That was the only bad thing about Buffy was the ''Oh look the stunt double is a dude!" at times even though Sarah's double was usually a girl always made me laugh.
I met Sarah during the Cruel Intentions musical and she is tiny. I'm 6'1 and she was wearing heels!
1:25 Hearing her voice speak with her pronunciation is always giggle🤭 worthy.
Buffy and the Scoobies at their best
That has to the best display of group power in one vessel in all of tv history
I still want to know what happens when you turn a slayer into a vampire...
I still want to know...
THAT BICYCLE KICK WAS 🔥 BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER BEST TV 📺 SHOW OF THE 90s 🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇
You know, it just occured to me that if this is the power of the First Slayer, can you even imagine how powerful the demons of her time must have been? Buffy couldn't even put a dent in Adam, but the First Slayer ragdolled him around like he was nothing. She must have fought uberdemons all the time that would make modern slayers piss their pants.
She killed off the last of the Old Ones with the slayer scythe, just tells you yourself lol
Well, both the First Slayer's and the first demons's powers were watered down by them and their descendants breeding with regular humans.
Glory wouldve been in trouble if she meet this form of buffy 😂
They just don't make TV like this anymore. Buffy & Angel were the best
"Never hope to grasp the source of our power!"
I hear Sineya's voice! which we only get to hear 2 seasons later when Buffy needs advice for facing the First wow that's some planning and foreshadowing
Yessss kick some ass Buffy 😁
"I've been upgrading"... Fuck, can you do that to my Windows 10??
This is so damn good 😮
That bicycle / fury kick is one of the best Buffy moves.
Adam is human, demon and machine, right?
Yes, and boy scout ;)
like Terminator and the Frankenstein monster combined.
And ... floppy disk drive ...
viene con adobe actualizado
Why stitched together? Why not grow him in a scifi looking pod?
what i love about this sence, remember the fight buffy had with her freind SHE wanted to fight him alone.
it show once again she can not win without her friends
i wish she learn that and work with them more.
Adam is my favorite Big Bad with The Master. This fight is amazing.
Weird--I don't recall Adam's voice being this clear. Granted, I don't think I've seen this episode since it first aired, but it was always so distinctive I thought I remembered it better.
FATALITY!!
One of my favorite scenes in alll of Buffy! From the part where the enjoining spell began up to when it kicked in was just epic, it was a great climax after all that build up. However I do wish that the fight lasted longer. For how badass the idea was, the super primeval Buffy deserved at least a couple more minutes of screen time lol. 🤣
0:44 my cat when i start hoovering my room
One of my favourite scenes.
Holy crap, Buffy used IDDQD!!
That was always kinda the problem with this show. Everything was solved with magic. Why could they bring Buffy back from the dead with a spell but no one else? Whatever was convenient for the plot if guess. Luv the show tho..
Because the spell that brought Buffy back was only allowed by Osiris since she was killed by mystical energy, not natural order. When Tara died, Willow tried to plead with Osiris to bring her back but he refused. Also the urn that was used for the spell (which was the only one in existence) was destroyed. And dawn did do a spell to try and resurrect Joyce but there was a chance that she wasn't going to be true, so she stopped it.
finish him 2:15 and fatality 2:19 😂😂😂😂
Bring back Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy. Or bring back the show period. Please. Oh and does anyone else think that this is what riley was thinking when he saw Buffy holding adams heart? "Damn baby. A little much dont ya think?"
When people wanna question buffy speed remember she easily dodged multiple bullets from a Gatlin being used by a super computer cyborg reacted to a missile .
This and the final fight with glory were awesome. Nothing beats the faith Buffy fight
i didn't know that buffy could turn into a Kandarian Demon
Wow Buffy gets considerably more buff everytime she takes a tumble! And Adam, when youre shooting you aim for where shes going to be not where she is!
I'm sure he was aiming accurately as a cyborgsoldier. Shes The Slayer, she dodged his ass. Faith did the same when Angel tried to take her out with a shotgun at close range. She was fast and agile enough to evade the blasts.
1:57 What I be like after loads of rest 🤣
1:57
“My gun didn’t work, clearly my fists will!”
Buffy and tomb raider are my favorite female fighters
I like them too, but I also like. Xena: Warrior Princess, Dark Angel (Max), Alias (Sydney), Charmed (Prue, Piper, Phoebe, and Paige), Heroes (females), Charlie's Angels, Relic Hunter (Sydney), Wonder Woman, Supergirl (Kara), V.I.P. (with Vallery Irons), MARVEL/DC (females), Mortal Kombat (females), Tekken (females), Dead or Alive (females), Bloody Roar (females) and Street Fighter (females). I should probably stop now... LoLz
Lara croft.. bruh
I remember this is when I stopped watching for a bit because ADAM was such a random villan but when I saw her turn into a superbeing I was impressed with this and for Riley the eye candy of course lol
Sometimes I wonder what Buffy would've done hadn't it been for Willow
Michael Schweigart She would've been dead.
Sam Hart I'm a Buffy fanatic and even I realize how true that is... On many occasions
That's the mistake of previous Slayers: fighting alone. That's why Slayers died so young and quickly. Nikki Wood, for example, would still be alive and very old by the 90s and might even have killed Spike and raised Robin if she had friends in New York.
Remember Spike killed two Slayers, but the third he tried to kill he was prevented by the Slayer's mom with an axe.
@isabellafelipedeoliveiraca6698
I absolutely agree! I love Buffy a lot; it's my all-time favorite show. I constantly watch reruns. But Buffy would've been dead as soon as episode 3 if Giles hadn't known the magic to reverse the hex that was placed on her
She went HAM on his bitch ass!! I'll never forget this fight!
