I am so thrilled to see videos like this still coming out so many years after the show ended. Thank you so much! I love it and appreciate you making it!
Wow, powerful vid! My favourite part is probably Spike raising his hand to join Angel's suicide mission after Buffy saying, "It'd be suicide" but really, all of it was so good, how you juxtaposed all those different parts from Spike's journey.
This is perfect and exactly what I needed right now. Today was depressing and I was feeling that “ I just want to give up” feeling before I saw this. I don’t even usually like fan edits at all (no shade whatsoever, I’m just slow and understanding without context sometimes). There’s just something about his willingness to trudge on, grow and fight through with humour and earnestness, (which some mistake for death wishes, cynicism, etc) is extremely refreshing as someone who has certainly felt heartbreak and pain. James’ portrayal of spike was full-send and it’s really sprinkled throughout the show until the end, often lost in plot. You did a great job at cutting these impactful scenes together. The fans character assassinate Spike so much, and the writers ultimately did that too in two instances (bot in S5 & pivotal scene in late S6) that I often forget how much I connected to the humanity within him. It is truly beautiful. And brought me a bit of comfort in lieu of irl friends who are able to walk that line and balance realism and darkness with humour and genuine kindness and love. TLDR; thank you for editing these moments together, you really upped a sad sacks feelings this evening.
This is absolutely amazing. Way to revamp the character, the tone, and parallels are just perfect. Spike is so layered and interesting to follow. Truly a great edit, I hope you are proud of how it came out.
Absolutely fantastic Spike vid. Best I've seen in a long time. You also go there with his masochistic streak, not just his lovesick poet side, which not many vid editors do. It is widespread fanon of course that it was Angelus ,along with Dru, who developed the masochistic streak in him along with being a vampire of course. Fantastic editing and choice of scenes. It's fab to see new Spike vids that feel new and refreshing after all this time. Am loving your vids comparing Spike and Angel too. Have subbed!
Beautiful edit! I love the juxtaposition of moments from throughout his arc. It was also cool to see AtS content incorporated in a meaningful way, and I found song choice was super effective.

I am a simple man. I see rather inspiring recently made Buffy content, and I Like it.
Spike being on Angel was closure I needed. I was so hurt lol the way he died on Buffy.

Thank you so much! I've had that parallel in my mind for a while, it was just a matter of when I'd find a way to fit into a video. :)
it's like in angel when he says "one of you will betray me" and spike immediately raises his hand. 😂😂😂
This hurt in the best of ways. I love it.

Thank you so much! I also find that masochistic streak and his relationship to Angel/Dru fascinating. Glad to hear it resonated with you!
Oof, OW, but also beautiful. Very well done. Thank you! I'm always so stoked to see the BTVS fandom living on.
Team Spike

This edit is so good. Thank you for posting ✨
This is absolutely excellent
Anyone listened to the Slayers: A Buffyverse Story audio story with Spike on Audible? It’s pretty good.
I love this!
Amazing ❤
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

these with Smallville, the better in series.
Spike was so better than Angel. Angel did Buffy wrong

Thank you! This video was partially birthed from me thinking about how to incorporate his AtS appearance into his broader character arc.
