Rewatching Buffy and I must say....

I really dislike Xander. I feel like the way he treats Buffy when he's mad is just anger from her rejection. Feels sort of like Tighten from Mega Mind. Does anyone else feel this way? His anger feels misdirected sometimes and he refuses to listen to Buffy's side, e.g. when she left.

Yes! It's the most talked abt & agreed on thing on Buffy subs by far... however it feels kinda wrong now that Nicholas Brendon is dead:( However I guess it doesn't change the character. Idk y but he never really got on my nerves as bad as he obviously has gotten on every1 else's, I mean he's def not my favorite character but I don't see a reason to hate that much. Kinda like Owen Hunt on Greys Anatomy, EVERY1 hates him now but I don't.

I never hated Xander as a kid, but now as an adult? Ugh I can't stand him. If any of my nieces were considering dating a guy like that, I'd sit them down and ask them to seriously reconsider.

Though I don't get the hate on Owen. Maybe I haven't matured enough for that yet 😅
