And not even a runner-up from Dr. Horrible in either list (villains/heroes).Slatterns In Wonderlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07568390383955985390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561869413186077787.post-69772225006645866192010-02-25T02:19:24.338-05:002010-02-25T02:19:24.338-05:00I've read many scathing remarks about this lis...I've read many scathing remarks about this list on a number of forums. I guess I may be the only Whedonverse fan to absolutely love that Wes got the number one spot.<br /><br />I think the editor(s) were addressing the many other heroes aside from Buffy in the list. They should have made that clear.<br /><br />But, Wes? Of a the characters in the Buffyverse, I rate him #1. Bis growth as a character was incredibly subtle. I remember thinking (I think after he and Lilah were together) that I had slowly fallen in love with Wes.<br /><br />And every time I watch "Not Fade Away" I tell myself I will NOT cry but ever time, I do. Every time.skyroom80https://www.blogger.com/profile/08865553412805686625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561869413186077787.post-249525002065927702010-02-24T17:24:31.842-05:002010-02-24T17:24:31.842-05:00That is a really odd list.

I agree with Nat that it could be a list of unsung heroes... except yeah, Spike, River, Angel, Wash (Wash is so a sung hero, he HAS a song written about him! Er... as does Jayne 'k never mind me), Giles, Mal... all of them very much appreciated heroes... even if some have a darker side *cough*Rupert*cough*<br /><br />As much as I'm not a fan of the character, I'll readily admit she is THE hero. No one else comes close to her level of self sacrifice. Sure, she might whine about her duties and even try to run away from them at times, but in the end she does the right thing she makes the hard choice ('cept with Ben). She gives and gives and comes to accept that she may never even get anything in return (in this life).Aerlisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07642902647055247275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561869413186077787.post-86469776747614266592010-02-23T22:45:06.776-05:002010-02-23T22:45:06.776-05:00That list is ridiculous.

Though honestly apart from the inclusion of Angel and Mal, it could be a list of unsung heroes.<br />Ilyria and Andrew are my biggest quibbles on that list, not sure either qualify as hero. Wes is a great number one though.Nathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06310460618108863252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561869413186077787.post-74254054352439451292010-02-22T21:37:09.929-05:002010-02-22T21:37:09.929-05:00Excellent post Michelle.

While implied in #1 of your list, I would add the fact that she chose to share her power, at the end of the series, and empowered thousands of girls around the world. Of course, if we also took into account the comics, this choice is a bit more controversial. But when the potentials became slayers in "Chosen," I cried. Such a beautiful thing to do. Superman never shared his superpowers--the greedy jerk. ;Pheroine_tvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08510322460194758857noreply@blogger.com
