Favourite JW character

    There are some great ones, Andrew the uber-nerd, the early Cordy when she would say exactly what she was thinking, and Lorne, who has all the best lines. but my favourite has to be Anya, so cute, so utterly unsuited to the late twentieth century, so utterly incapable of politeness or tact. She has some great quotes....check out

    a sample...when she is trying to describe the robot that warren makes, she says... "Oh, that girl. Tara and I met her. She speaks with a strange evenness and selects her words a shade too precisely"

    or....
    Willow: Will you help me?
    Anya: Is it difficult or time consuming?

    or...Anya: That's so very humorous. Make fun of the ex-demon! I can just hear you in private. (talks to the chicken foot) 'I dislike that Anya. She's newly human and strangely literal.'

    So many great characters it's tough to make a choice. I think Xander, pre-vision Cordy, Oz, Andrew, Lorne, Harmony, November, and Whiskey all deserve mentions, but easily my favourite character of Joss' has to be Doyle - I'm brought to tears every single time I watch "Hero"!

    You're an eejit! How can you pick captain Picard over Captain Ki... oh right yeah, wrong board...

    Mal Reynolds! Easily the best-realised JW character of them all!

    Waaah!


    For funny one liners it is Jayne or Wash
    But for sheer coolness, it is Cap'in Tight Pants

    i have to agree that mal will take some beating. I also always liked angel basically because buffy was always so black and white but angel lived in a kind of grey area.

    But even having said that, def Mal.

    Jesus, his final scene was epic though.

    Did you even watch this show? Doesnt sound like you have... Whiney? I'm sorry but no and get out! :P

    Weedy at start yes, at the end. No.. Just no. Thats what i love about his character, he went through the most change out of all the characters. From bumbling clumsy book worm to gun totting badass. And for the latter part of season 5 he was full of hate and living on the death drive.

    Lets not leave out the fact he was also only Human :)

    complete whine in buffy and when he came into angel as rouge demon hunter.
    Then few episodes later we are to expect that he completely is reborn. Sorry no

    I would say Spike or Cordelia (seriously, I hate S4 for what happened to the character).

    As for least favourite? Connor or Wesley. :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 45 Avenuegirl


    Spike and Mal are my favourite characters, but I always had a soft spot for Lindsay in Angel - his ending was a bit of a let-down though!

    The transition took much longer than a few episodes. And there was no rebirth involved at all - the changes to Wesley were all because of circumstancial life developments. I don't personally believe he is the greatest character, but he is bloody brilliant.

    DeWitt obviously:D

    Back in the day though, early Cordy, Dru & Faith.
