Not to diss or anger the Buffy fans, but I've always liked Blade better. He's more kickass, all in leather riding his bike, and he's a day walker, he can protect me night and day.
Plus W.S. is prettier to look at.

I'm right with you on this one. I love all of the Buffy and Angel characters, but Blade rocks, and was an excellent vampire hunter,and he dressed to kill. All the leather he wore WAS nice, and all the weapons and the cute facial expressions...*sigh* The opening to the original movie Blade was priceless. They should have made a Buffy or Angel movie with that kind of opening. The fans would have gone crazy.
I've seen Blade before I got into Joss's Universe of vampire slayers so sue me. This is coming from a person you called at one point "A frightening piece of work."

Yeah Blade is pretty Badass but the poetry of Buffy dusting Vamps is priceless. She is more Iconic. I always remember seeing that shot of her wearing her Prom Dress and looking pretty whilse holding a crossbow! That is brilliant imagery, so conflicting. And while Balde does have some spectacular imagery too, overall I think the Blade Icon isn't there.
Wes looking beefy and charcoaling vamps is a hoot but because of his physique you expect it.
Buffy though is humanised inspight of her powers, that is her charm. And that is what is really tough for her, not the Vamp dusting, but the growing up with those powers. There is a really significant undercurrent to the Buffy character.
Joss really hit onto something with her. She is up there with the greats no doubt.

Very true, and it also has something to do with the fact that it ran for 7 seasons...

My wife and I thought the same thing when we saw the opening of Blade. And that was: Gee, this scriptwriter must be familiar with the Nightlife rpg, since this is exactly the description of a Complex bar named Death Row. And on the way into the bar they pass human torsos hanging in the meat packing plant that look exactly like skin-bags from the supplement In the Musical Vein.
Great old game; the first one where you could play the undead. Think WhiteWolf's Vampyre:the Masquerade without all of the angst and whinging. In fact, according to people from Nightlife WhiteWolf people came up the the table at the con where Nightlife was released, picked up a copy and said something like this is the game I want to put out, but better.

The movie was fine the way it was. Wesley Snipes being a real life practioner of the martial arts made him a perfect choice for the role. Not that I mind watching Faith do her thing but his fight scenes are poetry in motion. As much as I enjoyed BTVS if it were my ass on the line I'd prefer the badass packing a serious arsenal over a waif with a poiny stick and snappy comebacks.

And we know Wesley can look just as pretty in a prom dress as SMG.
