High School Willow was an awesome example of what "Nice Guy" syndrome looks like on a woman. Her getting all snotty and possessive over Xander because she's always been there for him and therefore he should be dating her is gross, and the fact that Xander also sucks doesn't change that. Her cheating on Oz with him was also not endearing. Despite all of this, she is often treated as the moral center of the show by the other characters, because Joss Whedon is full of shit.

College Willow is an abusive girlfriend, is relatively nasty to and about a perfectly nice college pagan group because she thinks the only purpose of the traditions she's co-opting is to cast increasingly dark magic, is downright nasty to Anya because even though she doesn't want Xander romantically at that point she is unhappy seeing him date anyone else, and is a mediocre friend at best who is frequently unsupportive and tends to make everything about her. Despite all of this, she is frequently treated as the emotional center of the show because Joss Whedon is full of shit.

Then there is Season 6.

Don't get me wrong. Willow is a fascinating character and Alyson gives a great performance. But she kind of sucks as a person, which would be okay except that she is every other character's favorite person and is almost never called on her bullshit.

Wow. I disagree 100% with your interpretations. I honestly never even considered it remotely that way. But I guess I can see where you are coming from now. Still disagree, though.
