red demon: i killed your boyfriend wesley. Now take your best shot to punch me, little girl. illyria: i'm about to end your entire career!! (punch and killed red demon)
I loved this character. I wish she could have had more time to develop and have her own arc within the Buffyverse. Illyria really is a case of wasted potential
I don't feel like she's wasted potential. That kind of implies that she wasn't used enough or for nothing important, and I disagree with that. The show being cancelled on the other hand, not giving us more time with Angel Investigations and their new ally; well, that was wasted potential alright.

Fred's death had me in tears she was nice, helpful, a little dorky but very good help use with Angel and the team. Amy Acker's character totally killed the show there and she's one of the prettiest characters on Angel watching her from my childhood. I watched Angel when I was 11 years old, and in high school every morning it comes on TV before I go to school, and would cherish the moment of my favorite episodes.
Depends. I imagine that before the sapping of her power by the Mutari generator, it would've been a decidedly one-way fight in Illyria's favour. Once she was weakened? Probably far more even. I guess it depends on if Glory could take on Hamilton.
Hmm..i consider Illyria is the second best thing that ever happened to Angel. She is my second favorite character after all. WES is the best thing that ever happened to Angel. His arc his amazing. And I remember all the fan hate his addition to the cast had when he first joined after Doyle died. A lot of people had to eat crow. I love watching Wes and Illyria bounce off of each other. Really wish we had another season so we could've gotten more of it.
@@Azreal231916 Aww...well if you going for something that's purely from the show..hmm...Yeah. Illyria is my favorite character. Followed by Lilah and almost everything from WR&H.

What a great actress Amy Acker is to play not one but TWO great characters so masterfully. I really think if Illyria had at least one or two full seasons, she’d have the mainstream appeal that Buffy, Angel and Spike enjoy.
At the very end of not fade away when it's just angel spike gunn and illyria against wolfram and harts 40 000 demons they should of gave illyria here full power back would of been interesting to see what would of happened
to me Illyria is one of the most powerful and favourite demons i have ever seen in anything not only is she an original demon she has a punch with force of a massive truck, she can control time and open portals anywhere also she can talk to plants indicating she may be Intune with nature i wish we had seen more of her because she was an incredable character ever i even collect the comics on her as well Illyria Haunted
@@penseuractif9403 But I don't see that way,because Buffy never met or had any involvement with Illyria.I did like Illyria but she was no Glory or Jasmine.Jasmine was far more stronger and powerful.
Well, she kind of makes "advances" on Conner, Gunn, AND Spike in the comics. Right now she's dating Angel - and offers to share him with Buffy occasionally in exchange for hair-products XD
Ooh I never thought about that. I always loved Illyria’s line about how vampires sparkled and were beautiful in the moonlight. I feel like that is the perfect time for vampires to shine ✨
i kinda like Illyria, it's like an anime character, god tier pwoer yet lacking basic social interaction . .. funny character, also the Crash bandicoot scene is hilarious
That would've been one hell of a fight! From what i remember Glory was one of the toughest enemies the scooby gang had to face. The only way they defeated her was for Buffy to die.
carlos montanez Not quite. The only way to kill her was to kill Ben, but Buffy was reluctant to take a human live. So Giles stepped up and killed Ben to save them all
Illyria: "There was a time when nightmares walked amongst us. Now,they are trapped inside the minds of humans. What did they do wrong to merit such,a terrible fate?" Me: " well to answer your question Queen Illyria, unlike you Nightmares got bored,and wanted to become prison wards to their former slaves.." How Ironic the tides have turned,to be figment of the human imagination than to go away with a blink of an eye.. Now humans are the masters of their own Self Depravity,Self Loathing,Self Destructive Nature and can claim themselves as the Unworthy,Undesirables,Unloved,The Rogues and the Infestations Plagues as They always Wanted to be.. Are they not their own masters right now? or did they actually trade even further disillusions for another falsehood of death? " Illyria: "Is there nothing left but Hope and mindless killing and suffering ..?" Me: "Sadly, no there's nothing left..."
I'd have loved to see Illyria flourish into something beyond Angel. They could have done so much more with her character. Talk about a wasted potential 😩😩.
"Take your best shot, little girl."
Illyria: "I took his arrogant posturing personally."
red demon: i killed your boyfriend wesley. Now take your best shot to punch me, little girl.
illyria: i'm about to end your entire career!! (punch and killed red demon)
Amy Acker is amazing, I will always miss Fred but Illyria was a pure genius character
Ditto! I came here to say this, but as you already said it... ditto
Such a shame we only got 5 episodes of Illyria
Jesus Amy Acker is such a great actress

@@Hunterfalke That's kinda what I meant. I know it wasn't Joss's decision to end Angel at the end of Season 5.
She came back in the comic books you could read those
@@justindixon1586 yup. Especially w/ the IDW comics and Buffy S9 & 11 (plus the Angel & Faith tie-in)
Read the comics
That quote about our world being small, yet we build more walls to hide behind....always stuck with me.
Yeah me too
Well we build walls to protect ourselves from the elements and other creatures/other humans--so to me "walls = good" lol. Mental walls less so.
me too
@@Emeraldnite-if7vo no no no no walls are racist.
@@ianswift3521 Like I said, mental walls are not good.
Wesley and Illyria's interactions were always interesting. He learned a lot from her just as much as she did from him.
Fred's death and Wesley's death both shattered me. I bawled uncontrollably.
At least Wesley's death was immediately followed by Illyria's super punch.
"Do you want me to lie to you now?"
"Yes...Thank you."
@Jeremy S. Joyce's death was hard but my most memorable moment from that episode was Anya trying to understand death.
What about tara
Seeing illyrias reaction while playing crash bandicoot is hilarious.
Seriously, she describes the game pretty accurately. 😂
I love Angel's glib response to Wesley Shooting Knox.

She's an amazing actress.

Who knew sexy Cthulhu would be such a great character!
should have ended it with "i wish to do more violence"
"I would like to keep spike as my pet"-every woman ever
Does anyone else wonder what a fight between Illyria, and Glory would have been like. :)
Интересно кто бы победил из них?🤔
Depends. I imagine that before the sapping of her power by the Mutari generator, it would've been a decidedly one-way fight in Illyria's favour. Once she was weakened? Probably far more even. I guess it depends on if Glory could take on Hamilton.
Illyria is the best thing that happened to Angel
Definitely in my top 5 along with Angelous, Faith, Cordelia, and Lorne. The actress had great moments as Fred too.
Iceman oh for sure!

Ugggghhhhh im sooo mad they didn't have another season, i could have used more Illyria
Read the comics.
@@jeramahia123 read the angel and book comics
@@naries21 What?
just ignore the last season of angel comics coz they kinda ruined Illyra there.
Same here, same here……
Illyria is the most metal character in the Buffyverse. Amy seemed so psyched to play her after several seasons being a goody two shoes.
♥️
1:43 Is there anything is this life but grief

Thanks 💯💯💯
That head tilt at 5:39 is everything
It's ICONIC!
yup
Why didn't you include the best Illyria quote?
"A true ruler is as moral as a hurricane. Empty, but for the force of his gale."
What a great actress Amy Acker is to play not one but TWO great characters so masterfully. I really think if Illyria had at least one or two full seasons, she’d have the mainstream appeal that Buffy, Angel and Spike enjoy.
Amy Acker was also magnificent as "Root" in Person of Interest. As an actress, she has great range. Each character even has her own voice.
I miss watching this show and Buffy the Slayer too!💔😔
This reminds me so much of Hela’s arrival in Thor Ragnarok.
At the very end of not fade away when it's just angel spike gunn and illyria against wolfram and harts 40 000 demons they should of gave illyria here full power back would of been interesting to see what would of happened
After the Fall, dude. You're eye balls and wallet will thank me (or IDW)
@@SuperWolsey And after season/volume 11 of Angel... wow, never thought I'd see Illyria do THAT.
If she had her full power i think she would of obliterated them all i think.
@@markblackburn2343 yes.
The bickering between Angel and Illyria was downright hilarious now that I got older. 🤣

So if she punched a human she would knock it's head off?😁
I think shes the most powerful character in buffyverse
@@penseuractif9403 You mean Angelverse.
@@isaacortiz4617 buffyverse include Angelverse bc they are in the same universe
@@penseuractif9403 But I don't see that way,because Buffy never met or had any involvement with Illyria.I did like Illyria but she was no Glory or Jasmine.Jasmine was far more stronger and powerful.
I love this character and I love how she saved Gunn - just like that, no problem :D
The line about routine really got me to change the way I think about this world
@5:58 I just love that pissed off look Amy Acker gives as Fred/Illyria
I do miss the show and Illyria was a brilliant character. May be time for a rewatch. Would have loved to see Illyria and Dru go head to head
Was gonna make the crack: "You should've include clips from season 6, that's where she really shines." … but it exists in comic form I think.
Illyria... your time with us was cut too short just when you were beginning to bloom
You can always read the comics.
If she was in twilight the Volturi would run away put her in supernatural the characters would serve her
In the 1st spike comic. Their relationship is so good
Illyria is the most metal character in the Buffyverse
Illyria became a favorite character really quickly. I wish there had been a spinoff that included her.
I would’ve liked to have seen something develop between her and Wesley she was a great character
Well, she kind of makes "advances" on Conner, Gunn, AND Spike in the comics. Right now she's dating Angel - and offers to share him with Buffy occasionally in exchange for hair-products XD
@@jeramahia123 gotta by the comics
Think she was more suited to spike
Something did develop. It just devoloped too late.
She’s playing crash bandicoot with Drogyn
That scene always makes me chuckle!
And now she's smashing Angel's bandicoot... in the comics, I mean.
And losing.
3:32. i always wodered if twilight stole this idea of sparklyness in vampiers?
Ooh I never thought about that.
I always loved Illyria’s line about how vampires sparkled and were beautiful in the moonlight.
I feel like that is the perfect time for vampires to shine ✨
Her playing video games 🎮 priceless!
Amy looks gorgeous!
i kinda like Illyria, it's like an anime character, god tier pwoer yet lacking basic social interaction . .. funny character, also the Crash bandicoot scene is hilarious
Illyria playing Xbox always makes me smile
"Fred you look terrible"😂
i took my name from her, i’ve been going by illyria for a decade now
Me: Enjoying a video about Illyria from a FANTASY genre show.
Also me: Reading the comments & noticing that the bots for 45 are turning up everywhere!
Been interesting to see her fight glory
That would've been one hell of a fight!
From what i remember Glory was one of the toughest enemies the scooby gang had to face. The only way they defeated her was for Buffy to die.
You can watch glory vs Buffy final fight on TH-cam
carlos montanez Not quite. The only way to kill her was to kill Ben, but Buffy was reluctant to take a human live. So Giles stepped up and killed Ben to save them all
Fairly certain Illyria would crush Glory.
At full power her and Glorificus were equals.

Amy Acker was fantastic..and incredibly hot.
Amy looks pretty!
Fred's friends making a difficult decision Return Illyra to the abyss risk having her posses other innocent s or scarfice one to save thousands
I liked Illyrias character. It's to bad they didn't do more with her.
Did anyone else get really song Nebula (guardians of the galaxy) vibes from her?
Always made me mad cause Fred now has no after life since her soul was erased completely resurrecting her
Not in the comics. Which are canon. Fred is the dominant soul now. Illyria only comes out when Fred's incredibly pissed off.
Did you know Angel and her are a couple by the end of the comics.
Llyria y Willow diosa fueron personajes que no se aprovecharon mucho más.
🥰😍
Imagine her helping Buffy defeat glory
I think she could beat glory in 1vs1
@@penseuractif9403 I think she would throw glory around like rag doll the way glory did with buffy
I agree lol 😆
Illyria vs the volturi Winter by default: Illyria
It's too bad that Buffy didn't stay on the Air and Illyria could have made visits to Sunnydale so many avenue's to have gone on had the show continue!
Should be more about her world
They finally did something interesting with Fred and then the show gets axed ;-;
I like Illyria the dark side of Fred
Amy wants to say nice things about me!
6:00 Always laugh at that
I disliked it when they killed Fred off.
I liked it when they brought Illyria in.
These scenes are chopped all to pieces, they have no meaning like this. Thumbs down
The only good character on this show.
Dah faq?
I assume that the poster means Drogan The Hunter is the only Good character in the AD&D sense.
I wish there was more Illyria time. Fred was okay but basically a space filler for the Manic Pixie Dreamgirl trope.
She was the best character from both shows. She represents women in Trump's America.
Huh?
I'd have loved to see Illyria flourish into something beyond Angel. They could have done so much more with her character. Talk about a wasted potential 😩😩.
Comics.
Illyria is such a mood
i so so wish we had at least two more seasons..i know that if it were today netflix would buy the rights..we were robbed
awesome!!!!
These days after Wesley tried to knock Illyria out with a lamp or something, I see that and think, "And I thought I had a hard head."
It was an axe.
