For Buffy, I would say Xander. While most people do give him his props for preventing the apocalypse in S6, there's a bit of a tendancy by some fans to dismiss him as useless most of the time in spite of him being instrumental in stopping multiple threats like the Master and the Judge as well as the amount of times he's successfully saved another character despite his disadvantages as non powered being. I suspect this is partly because he's not as well liked as other heroes in this fandom.

For Angel, I would say Gunn for similar reasons. Despite not being a powered being, he still risks his life to fight vampires and unlike most of the team in that series started from altruism rather than guilt over anything terrible he'd done. He also saved all of LA in the first episode of ATS S5 but no-one seems to talk about it. Unlike Xander, I don't think this is because fans dislike him but more because he's never really as prevalent as Angel, Cordelia or Wesley.

I'm seeing everybody post they're Box Full of Evil Hellboy figures and I bought mine from "New Meta" through Shopify.... Has anybody done the same and actually received theirs or heard anything??

Hi everyone! I want to dress up as a vampire slayer for Halloween. I know where to find everything except for a stake. I need to find something affordable because I’m on a low budget, but I haven’t found anything cheap, and I also live in Europe so some stores either don’t ship here or shipping costs a lot.

If anyone has any links to an affordable stake prop or knows how I can safely make one at home, your help would be greatly appreciated.

I recently started watching for the first time ever so no spoilers please.
I’m almost done with season two and… why do the jump scares actually get me? Not sure how horrible props, costumes, and old ass effects from the 90s are getting me, but it makes me laugh every time (after I scream) I have to play on my phone while I watch because I genuinely get spooked. Idk maybe it’s my genz brain.
On S2 EP18 as I type this :D

I highly doubt they'll eat the salad and side veggies... But would they even eat things with bread like the hamburger, hot dog and pizza? (Maybe an meat combo perhaps?) What about the cheese, can they even stand dairy products or soft drinks?

This is probably only the second time something like this has happened. Im not familiar with BBTS customer service or Boss Fight. They pretty helpfull?

I came across this commercial recently and thought it would be cool to share, I'd never seen it before. This was aired on TV to advertise the game Alien vs Predator Extinction

Something I noticed about Buffy is that Oz and Riley are the only main cast members who were love interests and left the show in the middle of a season.

Oz leaves in Season 4's "Wild at Heart" while Riley leaves in Season 5's "Into the Woods"

I just find it interesting that Willow and Buffy's respective boyfriends had such similar exits from the show, especially since most other main cast departures happened toward the end of a season.

I’m not a hardcore buff on the Predator or alien franchise so bear with me-

I really hope that with the success of Romulus and Badlands as well as Killer of Killers, that we get to see familiar faces teaming up.

Badlands Sequel

I’m really curious and hopeful firstly that Dek, Thia and Bud survive their encounter with Dek’s mother, and that we get to see - on the big screen at least outside of the hunting ground games and the anthology books- what a female Yautja would look like. And if Dek has to travel to a xenomorph infested world as part of another test or a quest to rescue Thia from the company or his mother, all the better.

That said, Genna was a brilliant concept as the most dangerous planet to humans and Yautja with the most extreme forms of alien life, so it will be hard to top that in the next installment unless the film decides to include aliens, or worse, have a xenomorph outbreak on Genna.

Killer of Killers and Lore Expansion

Killer of Killers established that Naru survived in her time period and was captured and literally put on ice, along with Dutch and Hannigan.

Additionally, Rain and Andy are out there in their ship trying to find Yvaga III after surviving Romulus and depending on what happens with the sequel, they could potentially end up crossing paths with the Yautja. Furthermore, there could be a team up with Rain and Naru, as well with Andy, Dutch and Hannigan and Ursa, Kenji and Torres.

A lot of wishful thinking here. It could be given Schwarzenegger’s and Danny Glover’s ages that they end up reprising their roles in the animated sequel to Killer of Killers.

Alien Earth?

And then a third series to potentially cross over with would be Alien Earth, with Wendy, her new pet xenomorphs and the lost boys/hybrid synths who have gone rogue. I’m curious to see how their story pans out and if the franchise will involve anything from their show or just keep it separate and solely an Alien only franchise.

Additionally, unless this has already been answered in the lore, I hope we get a deeper expansion into Yautja culture and the home world.

The fact that the Yautja, or at least the clan under the Grendel King have, across the course of human history, captured warriors of repute and skill who have killed predators and stored them is just a treasure trove of story ideas to be exploited.

There is a lot that I don’t fully know and what I hope the reboot series will explore- about why the jungle predator and the city hunter as well as the pyramid hunters and the Wolf, among many examples, have different armaments and looks.

Are they all from different clans and or subspecies or races? Do they answer to one major clan? Is the Grendel King the true sovereign ruler of Yautja Prime? How many clans exist, be it jungle, urban(?), and desert? Does the Grendel King order these hunts to find and add to his grim menagerie of killer of killers? What is the end goal beyond just being a collector of warriors to thaw out and play with in blood sports.

And more importantly, how will the future stories set up the conflict between the Yautja and the xenomorph XX-121. The Grendel King’s tail cloak and facehugger designed ship brings up many many questions and is a dead giveaway that the franchise easily wants to see Predators fighting aliens once again.

TL:DR
I’m very excited to see what is next for the Alien and Predator franchise and I hope we get a crossover that maybe the storylines of Dek and Thia, Naru, Ursa, Kenji and Torres, and possibly others in the future.

(Additionally, the fresh looking dinosaur skull on Kwei’s trophy wall implies the existence of a dinosaur infested planet.)

(And now that I’ve said infested, imagine what a xenomorph contaminated dinosaur planet would look like- Dek battling a Xenomorph T-Rex, anyone?)

In her Hansel and Gretel monologue, her voice seems bang on Drusilla.

I can no longer attend the Once More with Feeling 25th anniversary show performance organized by Littlefield. I know they won't do refunds but tried to ask them if they had a waitlist (it's a sold out event) with no reply.

I got two VIP tickets and I'll take anything I can get for them, even if it's less than what I paid ($100 US). It's supposed to be for charity so not looking for more than what I paid, but I also don't want them to go to waste, so I would literally give them away if we reach that day and no one wants them.

One caveat: I am Canadian, so etransfering might be a bit complicated, but I'm sure we can work something out.

Anyone know about "Buffy (She's the Slayer)" by Velvet Chain? I was looking for songs that feel like the Buffy soundtrack other then the ones actually in it (I made a playlist with every song in the show, unfortunately, it's private). And found this while going through Velvet Chain since "Treason" and "Strong" are in the show.

Admittedly, this was awhile back from last year when I thought this but I thought I would ask it now.

Good thing they're cute

There are a ton of weird things that happen on this show. What are some of the weirdest moments you can think of? I'll go first: Spike having Warren make a Buffy bot in season five is by far the weirdest thing and it always gives me the ick.

Después de que Spike intentó abusar de Buffy, se fue con el bicho ese que le devolvió el alma. Yo entendí que tras haber intentando eso, Spike se sentía mal y le echó la culpa al chip, y que quería volver a cuando era malo y no sentía culpabilidad tras hacer atrocidades, y que fue a hablar con el bicho ese para que le quitara el chip, pero al final le devolvió el alma. Pero estoy empezando la temporada 7 y estan diciendo que Spike fue buscando que le devolvieran alma específicamente. ¿Alguien me lo puede aclarar?
