*snort* I esp. love the Buffy one. Because yeah. There's absolutely no reason why I would otherwise sit through the Buffy Summers is Really Friggin Annoying Show.

Aw, I didn't see that show. I did see the Buffy Appears To Be In A Different And More Angsty Show Than Everyone Else Show, though. *g*

Yeah, that may be the one I mean. *snerk*

I've just started rewatching it from the beginning (because A's not seen it all, is my excuse), and I thought she'd be a lot less angsty at first, but... no, it's pretty much from the beginning. This R Srs Bzness, being a Slayer.

Yeah, Buffy takes herself a little too seriously for me. But then, I haven't seen the whole series, just bits a pieces, so maybe I'd love it if I gave it more of a shot.

I always see it differently than that. She frequently does have the weight and fate of the world on her shoulders and people's lives depend on the actions she takes. That would make me a little angsty too.

In the end, she usually goes with doing what's right rather than what's easy. That's why I'll always have a soft spot for her even while others complain that she's whiny. :)

Having seen the whole thing, I'd say yeah - in pieces, it could seem like she's being whiny, but watching the whole thing, I felt like she had got a really sucky deal, and I'd totally be pissed off about it, in her place. Plus I felt it was balanced by enough times she was snarky and kick-ass - so, overall, I love her. (I just love Xander and Willow a bit more.)

But then, other people who've seen the whole thing also find her annoying, so YMMV. *shrug*
