    Kendra is great. But it’s the contrast between Buffy and Kendra that’s so striking here. Kendra has trained her whole life with the possibility of becoming the slayer, separated from friends and family, in a traditional mold. Buffy is different. She didn’t train her whole life, she wasn’t prepared to be chosen, she resists tradition and even her calling, but she’s close with her mom, has friends, and thinks outside the box, and strives for the normal life of a high schooler. This leads to her struggle but also her strength, both of which are highlighted in these episodes. Spike (who’s killed two slayers in the past but get bested by Buffy early in the season) puts it best in School hard: “A slayer with friends and family. That sure as hell wasn’t in the brochure.” Buffy is not only chosen, she’s unique among slayers.

      I've notice this trend in American film. It happened to Drago's son in Creed II as well. If one character devotes their whole life to studying combat like Kendra, they are never as good as an American with natural talent who still makes time for a social life.

    Juliet Landau, who plays Dru, is without a doubt in the top-5 of my all-time creepiest vampire list, and that includes Max Shrek's Nosferatu and Bela Lugosi's Count Dracula. Which bring me full circle to my point, because Juliet Landau's father, Martin Landau, won Best Supporting Actor once for portraying Bela Lugosi in the Tim Burton film 'Ed Wood,' starring Johnny Depp. I really think you'd appreciate that movie if you get some time to watch.

I'm sorry,but if a souless vampire can do such a thing *what is the point of having a soul in the 1st place?!?* Spike says he"feels"his soul after he re-gains it,but I can't see ANY practical difference between Souless Spike and Souled Spike and so all his character development from season 4 to season 6 to me makes *0 sense* and I have to simply put a giant red cross over it and,because of that,I will *never* be able to love him as a character!😤❌

      @AshleyG24601fan ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'm not the OP but I figured I'd answer: the council has the ability (for the most part) to find potential slayers and train them early so that if/when they become called, they can immediately be a good slayer. After all, super strength isn't enough--strategy and skill matter too. It'd be bad to just wait until a slayer is called and then have to train from nothing. So Kendra was trained from birth (she mentioned her parents giving her to the watchers to raise).
      But Buffy was an anomaly. The council missed her existence somehow and she was called as a slayer before she was contacted by them. That's also why she has friends and goes to school and stuff unlike most slayers who work alone--she wasn't raised with the knowledge of being a slayer.

He would have been much better off quietly trying to revive Dru without bringing attention to themselves (remember he literally only found out about the ritual and that he needed Angel to restore her in this two parter, they had come to the hell mouth to use it as a kind of health spa - it was good luck that everything they needed to restore Dru was already there, but there was no need to make their presence felt prior to this if all they wanted was a quiet convalescence). He hunts out Buffy and tries to kill her on three separate occasions where she wasn't actually getting in his way at all (School Hard, Halloween and Lie to Me). He's in it for the rush.

      @@DaDunge I didn't mean it in the sense of killing slayers being an active goal. I meant that the extent of his ambitions is to kill them. He doesn't want or need to do anything more than that, he's satisfied being the Slayer of Slayers.
      But also, I'm sure he HAS actually sought out more to kill than he's actually done, considering that even coming across a slayer was more a function of luck than planning for the majority of his existence. Potentials were all over the world, and you never know who is going to get called, to the point that the Watchers council can't even reliably keep track. Vampires aren't exactly organized aside from their nests, it's not like he had much to go on as far as finding them except rumors. He literally says he killed the New York slayer because he'd been chasing the high of having killed his first. That once he had a taste, all he could think about was killing his next one. That speaks of a mission, albeit one he treats as a hobby more than a priority. Finding the second wasn't happenstance, he found out he was close and went for it. I imagine there WERE slayers he'd gone after other than those two, but he showed up too late to kill them, and the next in line could've been halfway across the globe.

    The Watchers council is somehow able to find which girls are in the Slayer line and MAY be called when one dies. Obviously there are a few because a Slayer Could die on their very first outing after being called. So there'd have to be more than one ready to go. The council attempts to gather them and start training them ahead. Buffy was an exception that they weren't able to find her until JUST before she became THE SLAYER. In the movie it was explained that the could be Slayers have a mole that identifies them and Buffy had hers removed because it was a mole. The tv show and movie don't run on the same continuity, so that's not the reason on the show. I assume there's some sort of mystical way they can find the could bes, and somehow Buffy just wasn't found early.

  • @DaveF.
    @DaveF. 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Yup - you can't put enough emphasis on the relationships between the vampires in this show. While most of the time they're mere slayer-fodder - though the end of Lie to Me is an interesting specific example of the difference Buffy clearly makes between some humans what they become - for this little blood triangle of Angelus, Drusilla and Spike, it's all very complicated and extremely personal. This episode especially highlights how much of a monster Angel was before that pesky gypsy curse turned him into the mopping love-struck moppet we see today. Dru may be barking mad, but she still knows who her Daddy was, and how he turned her into what she is. This is pretty dark stuff.
    As for the Kendra stuff - well, who knows how it works? Least of all Joss Whedon, it seems.

    I don't understand the timeline of Spike & Drusilla, if they were in Prague recently (as another poster said) then when was Spike in Sunnydale previously? At the beginning of ep. 2x03 he said, "Home sweet home," so he's been there before, When, before Prague?

    • @quinnsinclair7028
      @quinnsinclair7028 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Spike is like a hundred years old. He didn't spend all that time in Prague. Besides the hellmouth is generally considered the source of demons. So it is effectively home to all demons regardless of if they've ever actually been there before.

    • @charlottegiles2050
      @charlottegiles2050 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I think he was saying it as in he was making it his new home - not that he had been there before. He was staking his territory. He has plenty of time to have been there before, he didn't go form England to Prague and then just hang there for two hundred years - from the conversations Spike and Dru have its clear they travel around a lot (Prague, China and Paris - plus they both come from England originally) so its not impossible they could have been to Sunnydale before, but I've never read that line as anything other than Spike arriving at his new home and staking his claim.

    Buffy is the slacker Slayer. Not sure if the story arc was laid out from the start or if Whedon improvised consequences from previous plot events i.e Buffy's death. It is great to see characters not staying in their tramlines and being allowed to evolve and be stupid and heroic at the same time. The Buffyverse is largely responsible for better characterisation in long running series.

    Kendra is actually how MOST Slayers are MEANT to be. Traditionally when a girl is called as a Slayer...they are taken away from friends and family and their watcher is their only guide...their mentor. that is kind of the problem with some Slayers...they are too black and white...they don't see grey areas like "a vampire with a soul", it's not in their nature. Buffy is the exception to this...Giles realised her situation was going to be difficult so he let her have certain things most Slayers don't: friends, school, family...and of course kendra rightfully asks "why?" because that is not the way it is done...for Kendra seeing a Slayer doing this is like seeing a cat trying to swim...she's like "wtf are you doing?"

  • @DaDunge
    @DaDunge 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I don't think Xander and Cordela is that strange, Cordelia Willow and Xander has obviously been in the same schools for a long time, and it seems they more then any others seems to have been together, just Willow and Xander have always been friends, and Cordelia has always been a rich kid popular kid prep girl, who has treated them badly because Willow is a nerd and Xander is poor. But on the other hand Willow and Xander has not exactly been nice to Cordelia either. Their making fun of her might easily have been feeding the low self esteem issues we see feeding into her desire to be popular in the first place.
    I think Cordelia may have secretly crushing on Xander for a long time. It would explain how quickly she turns to hate Buffy when Buffy is allowed into the Willow and Xander friend group, she's jealous. She also quikcly gravitates towards Xander as soon as she enters that friend group.
