Willow. She was never as cute as fandom seems to think she was, or as sad, or as deep.

I was re-watching Buffy lately and sadly this can be said for the whole show. It really hasn't aged well. (Or maybe it's me that hasn't' aged well.) I find myself yelling at Xander a lot in particular.

Yeah, there's a lot that makes me wince. But I still enjoy bits of it, and Anya, and Spike, and Tara. And actually, Buffy *more* now that upon first viewing it.

I actually found Anya kind of annoying when I originally watched it but now she's hands down one of my favorites. And Tara! Oh Tara, you deserved better. I admit I hated her for "taking Oz's place" but on rewatch I love her so much.

It's definitely still fun, I just learned that I didn't need a completionist rewatch, I ended up skipping around hand having a lot of fun.

I never much liked Oz and Willow as a couple; she was just too...'omg, here's my bf, everybody admire me for having this bf'...I dunno. Just rubbed me the wrong way.
ALL THE TARA FIXITS!! She was done so dirty.

Yeah, I just hop from fav ep to fav ep and enjoy it that way.

Ugh, Xander. But I've never liked him.

Early Willow was very, very cute.

I agree that she's a somewhat overrated character though. Her character really doesn't hang together over the show as a whole. And she can be a real asshole sometimes in ways that the show doesn't seem to quite get.

I have to admit she got on my nerves from episode one; it was this 'omg, look how quirky and cute she is!!!' vibe that made me recoil, because i didn't really find her either.

SUCH an asshole.

I love it when she's an asshole, tbh.

Honestly when I first watched it I just appreciated having a female nerd character for once. I didn't like her as much later on, though I didn't dislike her either. But I love her in the first couple seasons.

I have to admit that some of my annoyance with Willow is second hand because it led to about a decade of every show that had a similar “nerdy/quirky/but secretly the coolest” girl character making them do a version of that damn baby voice.

spike

he was great in small doses, and the best use of him was his early appearances like school hard and lovers walk when he would roll in, FUCK UP EVERYTHING and roll out again

but christ he was abysmal when they tried to shoehorn him as the show's male lead
