Whedonverse Stuff


Ran across this quote in a comment thread that was discussing places other than LJ. 

"...Nothing we saw in season 2 of BtVS ever made me think that Angelus would have been anything but an inventive, elegant and sophisticated lover - well, as far as Buffy was concerned in any case..."
 
No comment.

Oh, who am I kidding?  I've got to comment. 

The only folks I could see agreeing with that assessment are Franklin Mott and Drusilla. 


Elsewhere, read spoilers and it  looks like the Whedonverse comics continue to furiously dig themselves into greater depths of fail.  I kind of respect them for putting this much effort into coming up with new and ever more spectacular ways to suck.  It cannot be easy.  It takes a work ethic, people!   Respect it! 

::Pets Whedonverse Comics::  They're like Chinese Crested puppies.  So ugly they're almost cute.  Never change, Whedonverse.  I'd hate to think there could ever come a time when I could actually underestimate you.  


ETA:   Spoiler (as I understand it which is basically having read a comment about it online):  Turns out in one of the W-guys writing the AtS comics (meaning I don't know the difference between them, so basically 'Not Lynch') has the plot twist that  Spike lost his soul and didn't notice.  A plot that has, of course, been done many times in fanfic.  Though given the overall stupidity of the comics, it's a safe bet that it will not be done well.  Or with any thought given to characterization of anyone...especially not Spike characterization.  Don't know and don't care about the details of it.

I'm just sort of fascinated that a group of professionals get together and this is the stuff that they come up with.

Who knows, maybe there's enough of a niche market to sustain it. Crazier things have happened. And, given the path of the comics, crazier stuff will happen. Then, we'll pop popcorn and snark about it. :)
