This is a meme I snagged from ever_neutral

Ask me questions, fandom-related or not, and I will lie to you. A lot.

Buffy Summers is without a doubt one of the worst, most annoying protagonists ever seen on TV. She's a whiny, self-obsessed bitch who only got worse with each season. When I saw her in the pilot, I was hoping she would be a really cool chick who can kick ass in high heels and be really hot and fun all the time, but instead, what we got is someone who just keeps whining and whining - boo hoo, boo hoo, I can't live a normal life, boo hoo I'm gonna die at 16, boo hoo I have to kill my boyfriend, boo hoo I have to kill my sister and I'm gonna die. BO-RING. Why couldn't she have just enjoyed her superpowers, and do what she's told (especially when she had a council of such wise men to tell her what to do), like all the really cool strong female characters?

OK, maybe she wasn't that awful at first, when she still could be fun once in a while, but I hated the way she changed, especially in later seasons, when she became so sullen and bitchy. People changing through the years as a result of a trauma? Who's ever heard of that? The really good fiction has characters who remained absolutely the same from season 1 to season 7.

All in all, Buffy Summers is a terrible friend (I'm sure she always looked down on all her friends and thought they were beneath her), a terrible girlfriend, selfish, egocentric and a total user.
