buffy main villains ranking , we are gonna go from the bottom to the top are you ready
9: the initiative
god these guys were so . LAME i didnt like them , not charming , not even that threatening . adam kinda was ig but also boring , the only thing cool abt him was how they killed him but that doesnt involve him . f tier enemy
8: the master
ok ofc this was gonna end up here . honestly? i dont hate him . he has his moments and laughing at him is enjoyable . thats pretty much it . i guess i liked when he came back to make human blood wine machines or whatever ? idk , forgettable , im glad they realized it and changed course in s2
7: caleb and the first
yea sorry they didnt really do it for me . the season itsekf was good , and on paper having a manipulative incorporeal evil can be super cool and scary but like … it doesnt do much ig ?? after a certain point of the season it never rlly achieves anything anymore ?? i just feel like theres a lot of wasted potential there , like . the psych ward thing . i was expecting it to have a comeback but nope . buffy just doesnt care about the manipulation , ig . whatever
caleb is a mysoginist priest and was probably about as charming as adam.
6: glory
ok listen i LOVED glory . she is THREATENING , and genuinely scary . but like .. she kinda sits on her ass a lot ig ? and idk , the ben thing shouldve been expanded more . it mattered very little but it was interesging
5: angel
ok this one i . straight up like . no real mistakes here . pure evil . genuinely scary .
4: the trio
I LOVE JOHNATHAN i wish Andrew didnt survive man . oh well . shit was hilarious until it got .. real
@haematophage JOHNATHAN MY LOVER
3: faith and the mayor
bro faith was amazing . the dynamic was perfect , her motives all made sense and yet never outright expositioned too much how she felt or what was going on with her . great season . i wish snyder didnt die but it was his time i suppose
2: willow
man what . the . hell . thats what i thought when tara died . i knew it . you knew it . and then it happened . im not gonna lie her villain arc isnt as well written as other villains . but its driven by lesbian yearning , and sometimes ? thats all that matters.
1: spike
yes yes i put him here because he is my favorite character. well not rlly but . come on . you have just seen season one , the master (super boring villain) is dead , and you are expecting another whole season of power ranger-esque monsters , and then.. 2x01 , he comes over , makes a mess , KILLS THE SUPPOSED VILLAIN . AMAZING . MASTERFUL.
he is THE buffy villain . he has the humour , he has the quippiness , he is threatening . HE GETS A REDEMPTION !!! its just great . i was so , SO worried we wouldnt see him again after season 2 . and then sure he came back for one or two one shot episodes . but then he comes back for real and holy shit. thank you spike , you made this show into what it was. bravo
@georgia she was AMAZING but im pretty sure she wouldnt come back because she had BIIIIG issues with whedon
@haematophage @georgia oh yea that is definitely the case
