I never got into Buffy and Riley until I got older. When you're young, you like the sexy bad boys like Angel and Spike. But now, I like the that Riley was the good guy. He was always supportive and there for her. And he's the guy that you'd have a long lasting relationship with.
So true, Ive been thinking the same thing. You see things in new light as you grow, watching this show never stops to amaze me. Riley is the it guy ❤️.
It is not about the bad boys. It is about acceptance. He never truly accepted her. It bothered him that she could do just fine without him saving the day and she would probably be saving his arse far more often. He was often passively aggressive, and didn't support her when she needed him, too wrapped up in his own insecurities. Note that Buffy is far from blameless. It was clear she is not fully into this relationship. And I don't mean "her duty comes first". I mean emotionally. Still, she kept forcing it, because she was convincing herself it was what she needed. She hurt them both by doing that.
Exactly... He really was in love with her, but she still wasn't ready for him. I love Riley, he has this admiration for her, he was safe and good guy. I dont get it why everyone love it a toxic relationship like it was with spike.
I'm watching buffy for the first time (late to the party) and legit had no idea Riley existed, knew about bangel & spuffy (naturally picked spuffy) but these two i loved from the moment they met. Currently at s4, so thanks for giving me feels!
I liked Riley and Buffy together ! I don’t understand why people hate them ! Plus, I’m probably in the minority who thinks that Buffy treat him badly, like I truly agree with what Xander told Buffy 😅
Thank you so much for making this gorgeous Buffy/Riley edit!! I 100% agree that this couple and Riley in general are massively underappreciated. Any chance you could make a video about Riley only?
Leur histoire m'a touché, je les trouvais beau tt les deux , invincibles et inséparables .... On peut dire que notre Riley a pris sur lui car il n'a pas été aussi présent pour elle qu'il l'aurait voulut et lorsqu'Alex interviens par pure amitié et qu'il lui ouvre les yeux , mon cœur à moi a explosé : ce qu'il dit est d'une vérité foudroyante ... Fan de Buffy
I found Riley boring at first, was never really interested in his character, but as I've gotten older, and am in a healthy relationship, I've been rewatching the series and have come to wish that these two had stayed together.
I might be part of the minority, but I really loved Buffy with Riley. Out of all the relationships she's had, he was truly the best relationship for her. Yes, he had his flaws, mainly his insecurities, about handling the fact that she's stronger than him, and also the angel insecurity. But, at least their relationship was more realistic. He's practically the guy Angel wanted her to be with when he broke up with her and left for good. He was everything she ever wanted, but took him for granted and always kept him at a distance. She saw him as a rebound, and somebody who could be convenient for her, rather than an actual equal and partner like she did with Angel. It's sad, because Riley was down to be all the things she needed and wanted in a partner, and in a healthy way, and yet, she just couldn't see it because the "feelings" she felt for Riley, were nothing compared to what she felt with Angel. It's like no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't even bring herself to put in the same effort she made for Angel, for Riley.
C'etais lui .! Elle l'a juste compris trop tard , un comme dans les comptes de fées : Sensible Romantique , il s'est complètement livré à elle mais je pense que sans l'intervention d'Alex elle n'aurait pas mesuré l'importance de sa relation et du dévouement de Riley
ok wow what did you just do? I have to admit that i am one of those who cannot stand them together but your video??? it made me appreciate riley a little bit. they are beautiful together yes and riley loved her with all that he could and he helped buffy to grow, but im just way to obsessed that she needs a little bit dark haha. i mean bangel and spuffy is just !!!everything!!! but your video, it changed my perspective a little bit and that just says that you are an amazing editor, if you can change peoples view of things. I really enjoyed this and it even made it into my btvs/ats playlist. you never disappoint
Gotta say, after my Spike's POV spuffy video about how he knows he has no real chance with Buffy, but keeps loving her and her mixed signals, hot&cold behaviour is messing him up and hurting him, I decided to make completely Buffy POV spuffy video about how she refuses to accept and admit even to herself that she loves Spike, and I couldn't find the right song. But your video inspired me. I don't like Riley, I don't like him with Buffy. But your video is truly perfect. And it gave me the inspiration to use this song for my video. So, thanks
Rewatching the show, Buffy was very...obsessed with Riley. He became a very big distraction to her. At least that’s how it seems so far. Jk I just watched the episode when he left and I really wish he had stayed cause everything Xander said was right 😭😭😭
I will never understand Spike and Buffy. They were a strange couple to me. Spike never loved Buffy since a vampire is soulless and incapable of love. He was obsessed with her. I think he might have eventually loved her when he got his soul back. Riley actually loved her and I believe she did love him too. When she went to visit Angel in LA, she told Angel she loved Riley. Buffy’s actions showed that she loved Riley. For whatever reason, she just didn’t profess her love to him. It should have been Buffy and Riley in the end. If not Angel, it should have been Riley. Buffy deserved that kind of love after everything she did for Sunnydale and the world. She deserved to love a man who could love her in return and give her a life that is somewhat close to normalcy.

Damn true, wish I could find somebody like him. He is such a caring and lovely partner! I like him the most from the series and damn he is cute!
So true, Ive been thinking the same thing. You see things in new light as you grow, watching this show never stops to amaze me. Riley is the it guy ❤️.

I was going to write the same thing
Their relationship is not appreciated enough. Buffy finally had a healthy relationship, they had a lot in common. I think he was her soulmate.
And she did love him. Unfortunately by the time she realized it, he had left.
@@anthonycampos8057 this moment shows pretty much she loved him...She was just late. th-cam.com/video/ICMwKSuZ-Vc/w-d-xo.html
There aren’t enough Buffy/Riley videos. This is wonderful
Riley fell for Buffy, not the slayer it seems like. This is beautiful tho!
i agree with your description, riley was a real important piece in shaping buffy's character. i really like this!
I'm watching buffy for the first time (late to the party) and legit had no idea Riley existed, knew about bangel & spuffy (naturally picked spuffy) but these two i loved from the moment they met. Currently at s4, so thanks for giving me feels!
I keep rewatching this video, it's beautiful. It could pretty much re-edit this for Angel/Buffy. Amazing job you captured there story perfectly.
I liked Riley and Buffy together ! I don’t understand why people hate them ! Plus, I’m probably in the minority who thinks that Buffy treat him badly, like I truly agree with what Xander told Buffy 😅
I agree with u!
and it was so sad when Riley told Xander that he knew Buffy didn't love him.....
I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH U
Me too!!!
I 100% Agree.
This is my favorite ship!
Riley is huge.
Thank you so much for making this gorgeous Buffy/Riley edit!! I 100% agree that this couple and Riley in general are massively underappreciated. Any chance you could make a video about Riley only?
This video is perfection
What made me upset was that he never found out that she went after him
Yeah... :(

I'm a Spuffy shipper but honestly so much hate for nothing

Riley is gone a

I hate both Riley& BR together. But your video is amazing

Spike did love her - he proved time and time again he can love without a soul. His mom, Dru, Buffy, Dawn
I agree with you! Spike and Buffy had a toxic relationship.
Riley is human not like angel and spike they are vampires
