My siblings and I watched it as kids and we all liked it. When the tv show came out, me, my brother and sister got into it, but my older sister refused to watch it, insisting that the movie was the REAL Buffy. She has stuck to her guns and has refused to watch or really acknowledge it at all.

There's that one shot of him standing next to Jon Hamm, and he is half his size. I cracked up seeing that.

Hey Sal, how come you don't have any BLACK people in your manga?!

Melissa Benoist as Supergirl > Atlas Shruggederman

The problem with the Hobbit movies is that Bilbo isn't the main character, and Thorin is. In the book, we experience the entire story from his perspective, but the movies have to be sprawling epics. The book is full of examples of him finding courage and cleverness inside himself to win the day, but those get shunted

How come nobody on the internet got upset about Diner Guy? Barb this and Barb that, but who mourns for Diner Guy?

This all sounds right and it all sounds awesome.

Dead ears mate!

I'm never going to get tired of that joke.

Because Roy Thomas is a big ol' nerd.

I liked that one comic, where she was leading a UN military operation, and to pump them up, she told them that they would all die gloriously.

All these features have made me want to rewatch Buffy (for the first time since the show ended), plus I suggested watching it with my girlfriend who has never seen it and considers it a "feminism blind spot" for her. So I fired up Welcome to the Hellmouth on Netflix, and it came with a message that the show was

*loosens belt, exhales, lets gut unfurl*

What about Diner Guy though? Where is there internet outcry over his murder?

Vietnam stories are the new War on Terror allegories. Like how MASH was about Korea, but really about Vietnam.

The five of them never would have been able to work together effectively, because they were all egotistical, dysfunctional and crazy in conflicting ways. Actually, seeing them try and utterly fail to work together could make an interesting story.

You have to love that confused look he gives her, as that was clearly the last thing he was expecting her to say, right before she frags his ass.

Spike's comment that "If every vampire who says they were at the Crucifixion really were, it would have been bloody Woodstock." makes me think that vampires aren't exactly totally truthful when it comes to how old and accomplished they are, especially when they can impress less experienced hench-vampires.
