Buffy the Satire Slayer (Spoilers)




What do these two covers have in common? Seemingly nothing except for the fact that they're both examples of satire with a big, blatant capital S. This cover for future issue #36 is not a sign that Buffy is turning into the weak, moronic, anti-feminist Twilight icon, just like Barack and Michelle Obama are not fist-bumping, illegal immigrant terrorists.

  1. Maybe the three hours of sleep I've had are getting to me but... I don't get it.

  2. Aerliss, it looks like the "New Moon" movie poster.

  4. Except that the first example totally fails at its attempt of satire while the Bufflight poster succeeds.
