Buffy the Animated Series

[dragonyphoenix]

Apparently Joss Whedon regrets not making this. Here are my thoughts:

Why does Xander remind of Shaggy? And "Cordelia already made me insecure about what to wear" to the Bronze coming from Willow. Really? Is this a joke? "The followers of Morgan Freeman"? Yep, it must be a joke. Willow going all buggy because Buffy staked a vamp the night before?

And damn. I really thought that dragon had eaten Buffy, which would have made this the shortest animated series ever! Which would have been a good thing.

It might have been almost as good as the comics.

Can someone please explain what the hell I just watched. I mean WHAT?

And yes, animated Xander = Shaggy.

I can't put into words how glad I am this didn't happen.

Victory for the dragon! Because this was a world of no.

Bad: No SMG voice (I know she didn't want to participate)
Very bad: "You sound like a poodle"
So Very bad: "There are thing in the dark...dark things"
Horrendously oh-hell-no bad: buffy smacking herself in the forehead with her own stake...when the HELL did that ever happen on the show? Apparently no one who made that watched the Freshman.

I hate it when Buffy's occasional clumsiness outside of Slaying is turned into a defining characteristic.

Good: "I'm gonna put on my dancing shoes...and my 'standing in the corner' t-shirt."

Ok, that was funny. then I gave up after giles' display of 'sarcasm'.

Re: Joss remarks, I suspect he's being sarcastic here, a la "I thought the most important man in Buffy's life was Parker..." I never know when to take what he's quoted as saying at face value. Which means I pretty much never do (except for what he had to say about how he directed Sarah and James at the end of Chosen. I pick, I choose.)

I mean, this is greater disappointment than Amber refusing to come back as Tara, than the various spin-offs that had originally been planned from btvs, not being able to get Sarah or Michelle to appear in AtS S5; etc etc? Go ahead, Joss, try to pull the other one.

Joss always used to gripe and complain about how unfair the networks were being to him (remember the Wonder woman project?), how he was the rebel against the machine...now that he's in the machine, it's a different story of course.
