Whedonverse Character Wars Poll

shadowkatThis time I decided to add other Whedonverse characters to the mix to spice things up a bit. If you don't them or didn't like the other shows, makes the poll rather easy.
Rules are the same - pick the one you enjoyed watching on the show the best or thought was the most fun, interesting, whatever. Don't over think. Just go with your gut. Quick responses.
I wanted to include a question regarding Mark Watches - do people care what the guy says about your favorite character? Does what Mark says affect whether you read his reviews of Buffy? Perhaps a better question is - will you read a blog or review or discussion board that bashes your favorite character? Or give up on it? Will you read people who do it? I ask, because, I'm not sure if the answer is as simple and obvious as I think it is. I know that I've been known to stick with blogs that bash my favorite fictional characters...it just depends on how often they bash them and how they bash them and if I agree with them on other items. Mostly because, in a temper, I've been known to do the same thing on occasion - I tend to be more tolerant of things I do myself. Also a lot has to do with tone - if I feel like they are attacking me, personally, or the character. Some people bash specific fans of the character, others bash the character. I think to one degree or another...we've all lapsed into doing both, I certainly have and I know others have. So I'm even tolerant of that to a certain degree. Again for me it depends on frequency, tone, and how they do it and why. How do you feel about it? Do you feel the same way? Differently?
[ETA: This poll had harder choices than I thought. First one that I really struggled picking between characters on. Good luck! Again...hope more than 10 people do this or I will look silly.]
[Poll #1852210]

I didn't think of that when I was doing the poll, mostly because I'm both a huge Spike fan and a Spuffy fan...and my favorite Spike was chipped Spike - because he was ambiguous. I really looked at Spike more through an arc perspective - which version in the arc did I like better...than a seasonal perspective. Chipped Spike for me was more fun to watch and more unpredictable - I honestly didn't know what he was going to do next. Souled and Evil Spike - you sort of did, more or less.

Date: 2012-07-07 07:13 pm (UTC)I do, on the whole, think I like Spike best on AtS. I feel like he fit, on the show and with himself, far better than he ever did on BtVS. But I find season seven Spike altogether hard to watch, so I really can't make those two fit together in my head.
Also a big fan of Spike-with-Dawn, Spike-with-Anya, Spike-with-Buffy's mom . . . Spike-with-Fred . . . Spike-with-Willow . . . Spike-with-Giles . . . Spike-with- . . . you get the idea. Would say Spike-with-Drusilla, but if Drusilla is on the screen I'm watching her, so *g*

I loved him in all the seasons and selected the one's I preferred - which is most likely what everyone did, more or less.
