Fandom/Comic Woes

So...

I don't know all that's been going on, being MIA for so long, but I've got the gist of it from various forums and LJ posts.

This s8 thing is giving some fans a major case of the blahs, and that sucks.

I just want to say (again) that s8 isn't my canon, nor will it ever be.  The comics are not a representation of our show and its original content

Well starting with #34, Buffy/Angel is the one true love visually f&^*ing in the comics, Buffy never opened up to Riley, used Spike just for sex, also used her sister slayer Satsu just for sex, never-ever had any romantic feelings for Xander, and Angel loves Buffy more than Connor, not to mention Cordy, Darla, Nina, etc.

In short Bangels wins, everybody else is ...

Thanks for the lovely Jane communication.

And for that Spike quote.

Maybe Nina, but the rest? Not so much.

To me, it's not even a Bangel v. Spuffy thing--it's pretty much sanity v. insanity at this point for me. Maybe there will be some amazing, fabulous pay off at the end of this, but I know I won't spend my money to see it.

Folling LJ friends' reports is totally free ;)

Yeah, I've tried to encourage fans to remember it's crack!fic and only considered canon if we want to. The shows were canon. Anything else is just supplemental.

Word. Hardcore.

Bangel shipping makes baby Jesus cry. Joss should be ashamed of himself.

[ms_scarletibis]

LMAO!!

Eh, you know he's not. He's probably gloating somehwere.

Since Joss has Season 8 as official canon, I'm taking his word for it and I will believe it's canon as well. The thing is, I just don't care. I'm sure Season 8 is fun on paper, but too much was going on all over the place for me to really get hooked.

I did buy the comics in the beginning,and I actually bought them in book form recently because I am curious to read what's going on.

Also, this whole Angel thing...isn't it conflicting with Angel: After the Fall? I started reading those too, and I thought they were pretty well done. But now I'm all confused.

And regarding Buffy with Angel...I don't know enough about Twilight to pass judgement...but if people ship them, that's 100 percent cool. Just don't bash me for loving Spike and Buffy more. :)

The thing is, I just don't care.

I'd say that more or less puts us on the same side then ;)

And yes, it conflicts with A: AtF, but it seems to be a ton of "nobody cares" in the creative department for the s8 comics.

And for me, it isn't a Bangel/Twilighty thing vs. Spuffy--it's more of an issue with the storytelling itself.

A whole lot of "Word." Joss created the concept of BtVS, so he can do with it what he will. But that doesn't mean I have to like it. :-P

Or acknowledge it.

<--is with CM on this one :P
