I never understood the appeal of Angel. At least with Spike she was an adult and they were honest with each other, even if she was an adult making poor decisions.

When I was 16, I got the appeal of Angel because of the angsty, star-crossed lovers. It was romantic, in the Anne Shirley sense of the word. But even as a teenager, the practical side of me never saw them getting a happily ever after because even if you ignored the curse they were terrible at talking to each other and also Angel had a tendency for being patronizing that annoyed me.

Rewatching as an adult makes it abundantly clear that on top of other issues, Angel's also a creeper perving on a literal child for most of his run on the show, so you know. Ick.

Different anon, but you summed it up. I liked Angel when I first watched it and he was a mysterious older guy. As an adult he's just the dude who hangs out with high school girls that everyone his own age stopped talking to because they think he's weird.

Yeah. We're supposed to believe that there's no college-aged or older people who would have been okay with accepting Angel into their circle of friends? The only person who could really understand him was a high school sophomore. Uh huh.
