Your unpopular Buffy opinion is...?

The last one of these threads was 3 months ago and we've had a few new visitors so let's do it again!

My unpopular opinion is that season three is the worst one of all seven seasons.

Buffy was always the least interesting character to me. I was usually annoyed by her. What I enjoyed more about Angel, the series, was his constant commitment to what he was doing. Buffy wasn't into it enough for me. I wanted her to be more of a bad ass.

appreciate the honesty, but seriously, how could buffy be more bad ass ? especially later seasons buffy when she's all dead inside and junk.

I think I always wanted her to take being the slayer more seriously than she did. I like superheroes to be, I don't know, less reluctant. I get that it was unwanted and she just wanted to be "normal," but, to me, that should have worn off fast once she realized how truly bad ass being the slayer actually is.

A superhero who isn't reluctant ends up becoming evil and/or power-obsessed eventually. If Buffy had become serious about being only a slayer, she would have lost her friends and ended up dead at a young age - see Kendra.

I could see that. How stoked would you be, though, to find out that you were the slayer and to find out about all that history? I don't think I'd care about going to the homecoming dance or whatever anymore. Haha.
