Cranky Buffyverse Villian Poll

[shadowkat]

In a crappy mood. The weather mocks me with its beauty. So a poll about villianous acts in the Buffyverse. The worst ones. The best villians. The lamest villians. And villianous or indefensible acts by favorite characters or what we think are indefensible acts, everyone's mileage varies on this, I'm certain. Actually the biggest flamewars online have been over the indefensible acts of popular characters and whether they are redeemed. I'm curious to see where the vast majority of the Buffy lj fandom that happens to read or occassionally read my journal falls on this point. Course the fear of doing polls is no one will respond, memes are easier in that regard. The other problem with polls is you can't edit after posting and there are just so many ticky boxes. So if not on the list, provide a comment. But remember to
be respectful of other's views, particular those that make you scratch your head and go, huh?

I ticked 'other' for the final question because you didn't mention Andrew and he's the one in whose redemption story I don't believe.

Also, I chose Faith killing the volcanologist for worst act ever, but that's only because there was no ticky box for anything Warren did. I think that Warren's attempted rape and murder of Katrina is actually the worst thing ever and only picked what Faith did because it was premeditated murder by a character with a soul.

Yup, same here.

Yeah, I should have listed him in that category and the lame villian category, as well as the indefensible act category.
But ran out of ticky boxes and I also kept drawing a blank (ie forgetting about him.)

There was no box for Warren because I don't consider Warren a "popular" character, nor a character with a redemptive arc or that we were suppose to like. Warren was basically a straight up villian with no redemptive qualities - a bit like Glory.

Didn't mention Andrew because...I either ran out of ticky boxes or just forgot. LOL!

Oh, good point! And you're absolutely right. I even like Andrew, but seriously... I actually thought his character was insane for most of Season 7 and we'd find out later that while Warren was a murderous misogynistic dirtbag, Andrew was just plain nuts.
