The Late (Not So Great) Buffy Summers
Mar. 23rd, 2005 10:40 pmI ended up in a discussion of Season 7 and the character of Buffy on someone else's LJ. And, as these things sometimes do, a debate began to form. The thing is, I really don't want to debate the issue. It's just that sometimes when saying that, it sounds like I feel that I can't defend my point of view. But it's really not that.
The thing is, why debate the issue? I don't have any desire to talk someone out of their liking the character of Buffy. I have no motivation to talk someone out of their contentment with the conclusion of BtVS. If you feel that way, good for you. I see no reason why I should try to talk you out of it, point by debateable point. By the same token, I cannot simply be "talked out" of my feelings on the issue. It's not going to happen. I know it's not going to happen, so I why argue about it? (Plus, the space I would need to express my feelings on the subject would be rude to a point beyond belief to post in someone else's LJ, so I simply couldn't respond there even if I wanted to debate the issue).
That said, my personal rambling talking points and musings on the subject of Miss Buffy Summers and BtVS...
( Not Getting What I Wanted )
( Not to Disappoint... )
( Buffy was depressed... )
( Depression as a storyline choice... )
( Audience Empathy with Depression... )
( Depression doesn't cover it... )
( Adversity isn't heroism... )
( Buffy was flawed... )
( Imperfect heroines... )
( It's Not Just SMG... )
