I'm only half way theough season 2 so won't vouch for the quality of him as a villain, but does Spike have the best entrance for a villain ever?
>immediately seems threatening but has a wit that makes him entertaining to watch
>parades around like he owns the show
>brings a hot insane vampire with him
>burns the old, shit villain (who's a child) to death

I know the HD version is meant to be bad, but does anyone know of a torrent for it?
I can only find the DVD torrents.
Oh you're in for a ride if you like Spike
Why don't vampire shows exhibit long tail planning and just say that vampires can age? There could have been 50 seasons of Buffy. There could be a revival today. But no, "vampires don't age hurr durr". Guess we'll have to wait for deepfake Buffy 2
the other day we had a thread about what buffy would be like if it was set in a nudist colony. imagine all the buffy girls nude haha. joss really missed an opportunity to make a good series great.
I don't know, wish I could help sorry.
I like the sound of this.
I'd guess it's because audiences like to watch attractive people in their entertainment - watching a bunch of decrepit looking actors probably wouldn't sell.
best character
Spike has a kino backstory, not gonna spoil it but ut's great
Can't believe he was like 36 when he first appeared. Guys gonna be 60 soon.
No Moriarty does
>Did you almost start to wonder if I was real?
Great entrance
this was Spike in Supernatural 7 years ago
I love Spike.
Because everything you just said is stupid.
I'm still considering it my headcanon that this guy is actually Harry Dresden in some weird ass crossover.
>all-powerful wizard
>comes in, whoops Seven Sins's asses
>rides off into the sunset
He is about the best and he's used just about the right amount of time. Easily a fan favorite.
Why can't we have vampires that stay alive and are powerful but just get old and fall apart? Maybe they wear leather masks and suits when they get really old, like Soulcatcher in The Black Company or Balthamel in Wheel of Time. I don't think it's stupid, and I really hate that you've said that to me.
and Cordelia?
He was a villain that stole the show. His ups and downs carried the shows slow moments a lot. And his gradual turn to hero was well done. Full of personal conflict and pain. From when he was introduced at least i always wanted to know what he was up to.
On a side note fuck the last 2 seasons With their shit villains.
>HURR DURRR DEY ARE MUGONIGSTS AND HATE WIMMIN
Early one morning just as the sun was rising
I heard a young maid sing in the valley below
>And his gradual turn to hero was well done. Full of personal conflict and pain
basically. A lot would vote for Wesley, but I vote for Spike as the best and most complete arc, especially since it happened on both the main show and in the spinoff
> fuck the last 2 seasons With their shit villains
Caleb and Dark Willow were cool though
caleb was based
indeed
what are the best buffy tumblrs
>tumblrs
Wesley's story while good, was just seen before for me. Perhaps growing up around people who have the "follow the rule book, get disillusioned with the life he has known and mellow out/act out" sort of killed the story arc with me.
Spike was a bit better because at first it was forced upon him to become good(The chip). Then he changed naturally after looking at what he had become.
Him reflecting when he was telling the story's about how he killed 2 slayers is pure kino.
i meant webms
frig
big spike fan here, want to rewatch the series just so i can watch him be a complete chad again
Remember to watch all the Spike episodes + season 5 of Angel as well.
Yup. And he earned his redemption and actually worked for it willingly
Search the archives. They pop up every now and then. We make webms in Supernatural threads and our OG WEBMizer and I have done a few because we also talk about Buffy. All the webms here so far are made by us lads from Supernatty threads
Not getting the Spike/Faith spinoff because dushku took Tru Calling is rly an injustice
sincere thanks. i always appreciate Yea Forums oc because no one really seems to bother anymore
damn they aged very well. i'm still holding out hope for a angel reunion
Spike is a cool character. Highs and lows but overall he works.
Just don't ever read the season 8 comics.
Is the netflix version the one that is cropped way too close?
yes
well fuck , i always wanted to check it out, but it will bother me to no end, that I am watching an inferior version.
Buffy and Angel are for girls.
Are you lot girls?
you've got to be at least 18 to post here bud. you have to go back.
This. Now we’re stuck with shitty dark fantasy shows with the exception of Supernatural. The last WB classic standing
Their photo shoot reunion this year was very nice
Don’t read comics for any reason at all
I disagree
Spoilered for OP's benefit.
I really liked when Buffy started to fuck him.
There is an episode where Buffy is invisible, Spike and her are discussing something and Spike looks down and says something like "hey, thats cheating" implying that she went down on her knees and started to give him a blowjob but we cant see it cos she is invisible.
It was great and i fapped a lot. yeah, buffy was my childhood tv crush.

Those scenes were fun
aye
Anyone?
I dunno I have the DVDs

>Make up some bullshit about how he was the "heart" of the group.
>Take his shot at happiness away because you know beta whites never win.
pleb filtered
No, that would be too good for her
I want her to do something terrible, like genociding the potentials thanks to her arrogance, or having Dawn killed, or whatever, and then everybody stop talking to her, even Spike, and she deprived of human contact for the rest of her life, consumed by remorse, after which she goes to hell, not heaven
Praised be Willow for taking out the not deserving from Heaven
based
Why was this so uncomfortable?
Dawn ended up with Xander and Buffy is living on their couch because she's broke and alone. That's the canon ending
Whedon wrote Dawn as the love interest for the season.
rarbg.
The first one was bad, but the second HD remaster is really good actually.
Is it true that Joss made sweet love to every actress on the set of every show he's ever made?
Nah, it wasn't sweet at all. It was awkward, sweaty and smelled of jew.
If she has friends and human interaction then she is having a good life
She needs to have a completely awful life without any chance of hope, since, if she has any friends, she will spend the whole time bitching
Well I'm not sure what you want from me. But at least remember that she still lives with the pain of being ripped out of Heaven and made to work at McDonalds
Yeah Spike was based as all hell. He even had a great arc on Angel after he pumped and dumped Buffy.
The HD versions are good though because so much weird stuff happens in the background that obviously wasn’t meant to appear in the shot. Also Joss Whedon hates them
Can you even imagine how much fun he had with Dollhouse?
Truthful guys, has this aged badly i want to watch it again only saw parts of it when i was young.
No he’s standing with Angel at the end ready to fuck up a dragon with him. Also he’s in the Angel comic series that is basically season 6
Yeah it’s aged poorly. The musical episode might be the best example. It’s pretty cringe now.
He falls in live with buffy, gets a soul, dies helping her close the Hellmouth and comes back in the Angel series
Every show had a musical episode in the mid 00s, stop being a spoilsport.
The first season is bad, and it is quite dated obviously - the general fear of computers and Willow being a leet haxxor because she can use command line is quite cheesy. But it's a character narrative, and the characters are still fun
If you enjoy him in Buffy, a tidbit for you. He appears in the show Angel a couple times too, before becoming a series regular in season 5. Faith too. Angel is less teen angsty, and has some of the most beautiful women to grace either series in it. Elisabeth Rohm is crazy hot.
Based Zamasu
>The musical episode might be the best example. It’s pretty cringe now
You got me, I raged
>mortal vampires
just make a show about bad hombres at that point
My favorite Spike is the one that has a kick ass space ship flown by his crew of praying mantis aliens.
Truth.
Cordelia was hot, but really did not come into true hotness until Angel. But, not season 4 Cordelia. Anything but crazy goth pregnant lady.
And this is why you don't read the comics
Incredible how much of a step up Angel was for a show set in the same universe as Buffy. Was just all around fun throughout whereas Buffy felt so like so much teen drama at times.
Had seen Angel first and was amazed how shitty Buffy was as a series given it was the original series.
Even though I did enjoy the comics. You aren't wrong.
Also centaur dawn is the best dawn.
Didn’t he trap the senior partners in an inter dimensional rift or something? Such garbage
luv cordy
>surprised that a show who's principal cast are high school / college students has teen drama
am I the only person that thinks that the leads for both Angel and Buffy were the worst parts of the show?
the supporting cast of Angel especially was much much better
The Expanse is the same way
Did she go back to work while leaking cum?
>the supporting cast of Angel especially was much much better
Yep. I never cared much for Angel himself but I enjoyed his show a lot because of the side characters and world building
Immortal but flesh ages. Just crawling through time like everyone else but not dying.
I used to like this show but it aged so poorly, it's total cringe now
I mean presumably she put her underwear back on to stop that
He had me fooled with his British accent, thought he was a Brit.
You think that's bad? I saw the movie first so it was weird watching teen drama when your first experience was a tongue in cheek comedy about a valley girl fighting vampires.
I haven't watched Angel, but yes, Buffy jsthe worst part of her own show
I started watching the buffy verse in the middle of season 5 of Angel
I knew nothing about the show at all so when Lorne showed up I remember asking my wife
"do they not realize dude is green?"
smile time is what hooked me and this was the first show I ever binge watched
kazaalite was king
>Spike: born in London around 1860
>Manchester United: created in 1878
Reminder that Spike is a disgusting customer that only supports Manure because some gay writer in season 2 saw they were the hot team in england in the 90s. Nowadays he would support City, like the gay customer he is
friend reminder that Willow A SHIT.
It was pretty good desu, I didn't realise he was American until Angel season 5 and he let it slip a bit
Friendly reminder willow shoved a flute in the pussy.
One time in band camp?
>MFW Wife confessed she used to masturbate to Spike scenes as a teen.
I like to think that was an alternate universe willow who took and interest in music instead of magic.
Cordelia was so hot especially the first few seasons of Angel
The Master from Buffy, The Father of Lies from Angel, some of the old vampires do wither and age.
I’ll take Amy Acker over all of them especially after she becomes an ice cold demi-god
Amy is cute. CUTE!!
Kakkistos, and the turok han ubervamps also looked old and weird or emaciated
Bump
Don't bump without content. If the discussion has gone cold then let it go
I liked her interaction with Wes
especially at the end.
Spike is the best :^)
best villain coming through, make way
>implying
Checked and confirmed. How can such a small DYEL frame manlet be such a chad?
Amazing how Buffy's porn comics are better written and have better art than her regular comics.
i've never seen the comics, but they must have very bad art and writing
>tfw Buffy gave me a bondage fetish.
I just wanna be tied up and tortured by a hot, loony goth girl
I'm not sure I would have guessed it, but once I re-watched the series knowing he was American it seemed obviously fake in hindsight. Dru's accent was fake too.
So where Wesley and Giles' accents.
That episode where Giles actor regresses to his teenage self and has a thick cockney accent is much closer to his real one
They have
These are the nu comics which are worse than the original comics
Wesley... why can't I stay?
Angel the show was great and so was its lead character IMO. Wesleys arc is my favorite though.
Buffy was ok but not my favorite character on the show.
Keep going please
Xander a shit as well.
>I like the sound of this.
You shouldn't. He becomes a main character but he just becomes a funny sidekick.
>he just becomes a funny sidekick
this is just one of the many roles the character evolves into and is not even the end of it
They had jo chen covers at least

He was only supposed to be a one-shot character that gets killed, but they just liked him too much and turned him into a reoccurring character.
There were a bunch of spin off series that never got anywhere.
There was going to be a giles solo show at one point, and an animated buffy cartoon.
Spike's backstory is very effulgent.
Honestly is well done, you can feel the passion between us.
But in this scene not really haha.
Just adding my 2 cents... loved these two dudes dynamic. When shit started out, Angel was the hero and the chosen one in the Shanshu Prophecy and Spike was the villain.
But by the end, Angel became the head of the most evil corporation in the world and Spike became good, gained a soul, and was the true chosen one in the Shanshu Prophecy.
BASED!
checked and confirmed. Angel also lost his soul right around the time Spike was working to gain his
Adam was a neat concept but the writers failed him, his death is a cop out and he didn’t get the finale of his season.
That whole season is a steaming shitpile and the low point of the show.
>That whole season is a steaming shitpile
Godmode Buffy was great. Hush was great. Fear, Itself was great. The Initiative was a good concept
Yup, badass scene. I love when hero Spike says to Angel:
>"You don't get to win... this time!"
And proceeded to beat his ass. Even Angel at the end of the ep had his doubts noting that Spike wanted the Prophecy more than he did.
That assbeating was a hundred years in the making. S5 was made great mostly due to Spike. A lot of shockers in it. Lorne fucking giving that prissy little bitch Eve a bloody mouth and later capping Lindsey was a huge surprise. Everyone was out for blood while Fred was slowly dying.
One thing I'll miss is all the Angel whores getting nude in Playboy for our pleasure. The good ol' days when of you promoted tv/film by posing in your undies or nude.
pretty sure Spikes actor actually was the reader for the Dresden audio books.
Just a coincidence.
I hope OP checked out a while ago (spoilers), but I love that death scene with Lindsey after he contemplates becoming a hero after his good deed...
>"You don't kill me?! ...Angel kills me! ...You're, you're a no-body!"
Angel even made Harmony watchable. I didn't think that was possible.
the cross he used to slap the shit out of Angel was also very symbolic. Back in Buffy, Spike's scenes with crosses were discriminatory against him. Ergo, his past sins being used against him despite trying to be good/seeking redemption. Here in Angel , he uses the cross to represent the sins he did as rooted from Angel (vis-a-vis his dialog about being a monster because Angel made him a monster)
Yeah, I member on Buffy, after Spike got his soul, the burden of his evil past wore so heavy on him that he threw himself around a cross in the church reveling in the pain much to Buffy's shock.
It's funny, I didn't start watching Buffy until 3 seasons in and I didn't start watching Angel till 3 seasons in. Not sure what that was all about.
"You're,.....you're just a flunky! Angel is supposed to kill me".
Very satisfying death scene. I was having trouble believing they were actually going to trust Lindsey.
I liked Lindsey. I went back and watched the other seasons, he was always a conflicted character internally (good vs evil).
if only he wasn't such a jobber
he has killed 3 slayers but always jobs to people like xanders or angel
vampires cum blood, so she's fine
that's actually bad writing, why would dawn feel compelled to sexually stimulate her own sister? i don't follow
link to the nu-comics
the writing is shitty but the art looks better, that one actually looks like buffy
Imagine not knowing when/if you'd be released haha
Angel is the ultimate cuck
>muh vampire with a soul prophecy
>lmao sorry angelJUST, turns out it was about spike
Angel is a literally a cuck (by his own son no less) but he dominated Spike more often than not
She isn't sexually stimulating her suster, She is punishing her, are you retarded?
So’s Spike, I mean Angelus cucked him twice with dru that we know of l, and he was cucked with Angelus by the real chad The Immortal who stole both his girlfriends. Could be worse though could be Riley.
Why would you want to watch the HD version instead of comfy dvd rips. Buffy is a silly show from before the Shit Ages and deserves special viewing treatment. I have a CRT TV that I use to watch 240p/360p rips of older shows and movies for maximum comfy.
spike is more of an anti-villain desu
unlike Liam he was a pretty decent guy when he was human and he's probably the only vampire to overcome his inner demon with the power of love (unlike Angel who was punished by gypsies)
Spike is dope
Because shows shouldn't drag on forever and if an actor is good enough you don't even notice the aging. Angel was supposed to be forever 18, while David Boreanez transformed from a lean mean early 20s something machine to a slow grimacing middle aged dad bod between buffy Season 1 and Angel season 5 but he's such a good actor playing such a great character that it never destroys the show.
for prime michelle gellar
>somewhere in my dad's attic I have the entire series recorded in VHS in EP
Based on what?
Gilles is dead, Buffy is not the same without Gilles
Also Xander is a drunkard and no one wants to hire him anymore
Only 2 rite?
Lol anthony stewart head is alive. Xander is a pos tho i think he attacked someone at a con?
>EP
Holy shit, that takes me back...
The initiative was an alright concept that was completely mishandled. Frat boy commandos and college professor scientists? Really?
The initiative should've been completely removed from the college and the season's theme should've been that Buffy can't have both her normie life and be the slayer instead of...whatever season 4 was trying to do.
the longer the series went on the sillier it gets
there's a point where you wonder, why are adults so unaware of demonic activity when Sunny Valley has like 5 monsters per week?
he never really got boring all throughout buffy and angel, all his appearances are fun.
I think it was said that most of the people who lived in Sunnydale were demonic or had connections to them. I think most of them were like the shitty "good" demons. Like that pig man that Spike hangs around with.
As opposed to high school students without any fighting experience nor training suddenly trying to fight a giant demon snake?
>he never really got boring
His sad sack bullshit after trying to rape buffy and getting a soul was annoying.
That lasted for only half a season and is very different from his other seasonal arcs. Hence he never got boring
its implied Buffy gave them fighting lessons behind the scenes
but then he goes right back to fun character and on to angel. although i can't even even remember what he does in season 7.
he BTFOs the hell hole, can't remember the name but it was the reason sunnydale was such a shithole in the first place
yeah and he becomes evil again for a few episodes, now I remember.
OUT
FOR
The bomb and buffy did most of the work and the mayors few vampire minions killed dozens of teenagers. And the class was about 80-100 students who had all survived 18 years of living on a hellmouth armed with weapons. It's not outrageous to believe that a hundred armed teenagers lead by a watcher could hold off about 20 vampires until a giant bomb went off and scared the survivors away.
The Bronx ruined my suspension of disbelief, why was the only club in town? why would they let losers like Xander and boomers like Gilles in?
never made any sense
Just like Buffy, heh.
Because Sunnydale is a fucking backwater. My issue with it was that nearly everyone in there was below drinking age so wut?
I'm just saying spike's character goes have a faggy bit that you can't get through fast enough.
This is explained in the very first episode I think or at least the first series. People in Sunnydale have been conditioned to rationalise what they can and ignore / suppress what they can't.
Everyone knows. When Buffy and Co told all their classmates to take weapons to graduation because the Mayor was going to turn into a giant demon they all did it and still attended.
base
it's also funny that Buffy's mom didn't have any problem with letting her daughter spent so much time alone with a creepy unmarried librarian
She and giles had backstory
It basically follows the rules of IT.
sunnydale must have had the biggest homicide rate in all of america lmao
Their under-18 mortality rate must rival Chicago
Yep
Is it just me or do there seem to be hints of Caleb's existence in the earlier seasons? There's a couple mentions of a weird preacher by Faith and other characters.
They should have never killed The Master, he was a visionary:
youtube.com
first 3 season had a dark horror look then it completely change after the 4 season
>it's a Faith-centric episode
>not liking Faith
>muh sexy edgy anti-hero slayer
She was the best thing about S7
Well I must say I didn’t expect that answer after the >muh line
Tru Calling was good, why did they cancel that?
Didn't like her in S3 or her edgy "lets torture people who are trying to help me" phase in Angel, but she was dope in S7
Because dumb bitch should have done the Faith spinoff
She was. She finally stood her ground as a slayer. Both her and Willow had to rediscover their mission and their abilities in Angel 4 before they could help in the slayer crisis in Buffy 7
When Angel found out he wasn;t the chosen one, do you think he regreted destroying that ring that let him go outside in daylight?
he's an introvert, the ring is completely useless in the likes of him:
Comics.
>the wanton folly of me mum
Fucking based.
You're in for a treat, Spike has all the best scenes.
Don't watch, it's S7 but it is probably the best scene of the season
I think season 4 was a bad bump, season 5 was proper kino
>bump
i see you, cheeky cunt
>I love you
>No you don't, but thanks for saying it
Still makes me cry
He was pretty based. He was the only decent character left by the end.
aye
>new webm
>good quality
>long duration
This has to be the WEBMizer yes?
I'm not him, just someone with webm for retards who spent far too long looking for a source with subtitles that actually line up with the video.
Giant robot Dawn > centaur Dawn
great job either way
Dushku fucked Whedon and wanted oh so bad to #MeToo him when it was a fad. Now the chance has passed (not that it would have saved her career).
