Thank you! Honestly I hoped I was understandable, my writing has gone down hill lately, so I'm glad it came across okay.
I will never get over the huge disappointment of the non-existent Spuffy reunion, and the 'crazy studly' knife to the gut.
If this hadn't happened and they had a proper epic reunion I think I could have stomached a bangel reunion. Now? It just sickens me because all I see is bias, bias, bias.
There's an abundance of interesting directions that the plot would've gone (I'm not talking just about Spuffy here)...snip
Word, word, word to everything in this paragraph. They are either playing it so safe they made it boring by default or are completely clueless on how to deal with any character that isn't Angel...even then they Gary Sue Angel, which is horrible for the Angel character. They've reduced Angel's own complexities by making everything he does heroic, even killing Giles.
This makes me so sad. I hate it when these comics affect our enjoyment of what came before.
It's gotten better, believe me! Just the comics forced me to look at the show in a different light. Which I think is good because besides the things that affect me personally as Spike/Spuffy fan (I tend to narrow on those things even though I like the whole), I am beginning to see other writing problems I didn't see before. The honeymoon period is over. And if I can get passed the flaws of the show, then I hope I can appreciate the show even more! :)
