Buffy the vampire slayer or Supernatural?
Actually, I have been thinking really hard about this....No, Supernatural is not a better show. It's awesome, and kick ass and all the things people say. Hot guys, cool car, demons, issues all of it. Except, it cannot say anything new, not really. Buffy was about much deeper stuff and nobody tells it like Joss. He was a much better writer. He took the audience where they needed to go instead of where they wanted to go. Buffy was about the day-to-day, real life of a human being, a woman, and the struggles, battles and truly scary things that happen to a person. High school, losing your first love, growing up, losing a parent, having to assume real-world responsibilities at a really young age. Besides, in the world in which we live, women are the ones who have to fight just a little bit harder to get what we want in life. We're not strong because we want to be, we're strong because we need to be. Buffy explored all of that. Supernatural, as good as it is, will never have to say as much, or have as much to prove because it's driven by men. The world will just open up just a little easier to them more. Not saying there isn't a lot to a man's growing struggle it's just not the same. There just isn't as much to say there. Or least as interesting of things to say. Even my gruff, man's man, grumpy, Winchester-like Wolverine/Logan of dad has said the Buffy would "kick those two yahoos ass'." If they could meet...Now that would be a story.
This is not a feminist thing at all, it's not because Buffy's a young woman and the boys are...very, very, very male. However, this is what I would love to see on Supernatural; a new Winchester. A female Winchester who gets to be strong and stay on the show...with the boys. Some one they BOTH care about the same way they care about each other...to balance it out. I am upset that all the female characters seem to get voted off the island, I miss Jo. With all that time John spent on the road alone, he could have another secret kid out there (hopefully a female). It's very Star Wars and it could lead to a lot more stories and emotions. I mean, the attitude towards women on this show is starting to really bug me and the fact that not a lot of people seem to see it bugs me even more. I mean, "why's it always virgin women who have to do the sacrificing?" Don't give me the purity line either. "Purity has nothing to do with it. This is about dominance..You can bet that if some ancient sacrifice called for some male body part, these boys here would be atheist, like that."
i'd have to go with buffy the vampire slayer even though i like supernatural buffy gots more vampires in it
man i love both.. but buffy pwns supernatural.
sorry boys! it just has a better storyline and characters!
i'm a big fan of both shows. i voted for supernatural simply because i'm a girl and think jensen is the hottest thing since keanu reeves!
