Thanks for the clarification - a lot of people I've noticed seem to think Whedon doesn't like Angel or Spike (which I blame David Boreanze and James Marsters for - they kept whining about it, actors..sigh. Hello. If he didn't care or like your characters do you honestly believe you would have had a job for six years? I don't think so.)
No, I agree I think Whedon doesn't have much more to say about them. He likes how he ended their tale in Not Fade Away.
Just my tough luck, I suppose, because I don't find the scoobies that interesting (except Buffy herself)...
I admittedly have a similar problem. The character I found the most interesting at the end of both series and I wanted more information on was Spike. I also wanted more information and a resolution to Spike's past and present relationships with Angel, Drusilla, and Buffy. I felt those three relationships were unresolved and left sort of hanging. It's why the only fanfic I tend to read is regarding Spuffy or Spangle. I felt there was more story there.
I am still curious about Buffy.
And you are right - they need someone like Cordelia, Anya, Faith, Spike in the mix - someone with edge. Faith seems to be watered down. There's no tension - outside of the love triangle, which is aggravating to me.
So I struggle with it. I honestly don't know if Whedon will resolve it or not. I don't want much - just one panel in one issue - short and sweet. The fact that he isn't giving me that - leads me to believe that he doesn't want to resolve it yet. Although it is more than possible that he thinks it doesn't need to be resolved and would rather leave it to the fans imagination.
I am also struggling with a specific and somewhat aggravating faction of fandom - have for a while. I am worried that the reason I won't ever get those resolutions is because of that annoying vocal faction - which I wish sometimes would just put a stick in and go away. ;-) But they don't. So all I can do is ignore them and hope the writer does too, because they are in the minority.
