Angel 5x22 Not Fade Away Finale Reaction!!!

[@torchwoodboy5564]

Thank you all so much. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you. You made every week special, and honestly, I am honoured to have been able to do this for you. Love you all. x

[@TheNoybusiness]

And we've loved following along your reactions over the years! I only wish you were planning to come back at some point because I'd kill to see your reaction to the last scene of the first episode of Dark Matter. .

[@ROArecords2]

I remember years ago suggesting that if you watch old shows like Buffy and react to them that you would get more views. I don’t know if my comment influenced you at all, but I’m glad you finally finished both Buffy and Angel.

[@RaeLorin]

This chapter of the story might be ending, but thank you for making it a good one.

[@locomadman]

Atta’boi! Haven’t yet had the pleasure of catching your reactions, but any fan of Buffy & Angel is someone to be friendly with. You going to carry on with the story that continues in the comics?

[@herobreaker9011]

Thank YOU for all your time investment and insights

[@ThaAngelus1]

Buffy ends in sunshine and with a feeling of hope. Angel ends in darkness and with a message of that the fighting will never end. Perfect

[@chrislambert9903]

Just when you think Angel is done breaking your heart you get "Would you like me to lie to you now"

[@Kwigs_kun]

Loved your reactions man, been re watching this show recently and your reactions have made it feel like I had someone there to enjoy it with.

[@thetalisman7722]

I personally think that this is a perfect ending, not just for the show but for every single character...

[@TheJankyAnarchist]

Their stories haven't ended. Look into the graphic novels for both shows.

[@jeannguyen3199]

Wesley died. You do know that, right?

[@thetalisman7722]

@@jeannguyen3199 And he was at peace, also they probably all die in that alley way at the end - that's certainly the reading that the cast all said they prefer

[@Pauly00001]

From Buffy's "Are you ready to be strong?" to Angel's "Let's get to work"... and all the other lessons this universe had to give us... Thank you for letting us follow your journey.

[@killianlpc]

The incredible sadness all Buffyverse fans feel when reaching the end of Angel is palpable. The main reason being that these two shows were some of the best TV Drama ever shown, and many find it hard to find anything that compares. It is the endless re-watches that keeps most Buffyverse fans going. This is a spectacular ending from a brilliant S5 unmatched by anything in The Buffyverse. This last episode had everything, the absolute brilliance of Angel taking revenge on Marcus Hamilton 'you know the one word you shouldn't have mentioned there', the fantastic slaying by Gunn with an axe of the evil Senator, Lorne shooting Lindsey, a shocking scene as Lorne was such a gentle character, and the most heartbreaking scene ever when Illyria says to Wesley ' would you like me to lie to you now ' and changes back in to Fred, cementing the tragedy that is Wesley's life, but at that point his is at peace, knowing that Fred loved him so much. Then we have the fantastic punch from Illyria smashing the head of Cyvus Vail, giving us all great revenge. The ending in the Alleyway in the rain (this show loves alleyways in the rain) the four that are left know they are vastly outnumbered but will go down fighting to the last. David Boreanaz on being interviewed said they didn't survive, James Marsters said they did. Who really knows, but this was the greatest all all episodes in The Buffyverse. A fitting ending to two great shows, but don't you just wish at the end that Buffy and the rest of the Scoobies appeared with and army of Slayers for that ultimate final battle!

[@crystalfire5564]

Thank you for all your videos. They have been great through the years. I will try to watch you on twitch sometime. Had to add once I got to the end of your video…quoting Doyle put tears in my eyes.

[@lindabold8196]

You have been a ray of sunshine...I hope you know that! You are allowed to say goodbye to us, Angel and Buffy. But please dont ever say goodbye to life. "The hardest thing in this world is to live in it" That is true...but it is also the most beautiful thing. You wont fade away. We wont let you! Thank you SO much for all you have done, the tears that you cried and the moments we shared. You are NOT done! ❤😊

[@chrisrj9871]

Buffy: "The hardest thing in this world is to live in it." Angel: "If nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do." Two unique bits of wisdom from two unique shows

[@pottering6657]

Alex, thank you so much for everything you've done for us buffyverse fans, and youtube as a whole. It's weirdly apt that Not Fade Away is pretty much your last video. To quote the song this episode title is from: "It's better to burn out than to fade away." "The King is gone but he's not forgotten" "There's more to the picture than meets the eye." If watching buffy and angel over all these years has taught us anything it's that the choices you make for you are the most important thing in the world. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do on twitch!

[@artman2oo3]

Thank you so much TWB! I’ve been watching you since Buffy. You were actually the very first reactor I ever watched. You’re great, dude. Have a good one! Goodbye from Missouri, USA!

[@carpelibrarium8522]

David Boreanaz and Mercedes McNab are the two actors that spanned the Buffyverse, appearing in Buffy S1E1 and Angel S5E22. David Boreanaz and Christian Kane are the only two actors who appeared in Angel S1E1 and S5E22.

[@alexaduke2348]

I am so sad to see the end, but also glad you took us all along for the ride! I loved every second of it. You are the greatest and I'll see you with DW. 😘 Also, fuck you for making me cry😂

[@mrMadHatterreviews]

Not Fade Away is my all time favourite finale and the benchmark to which I compare all others. A beautiful final note. I never know how to say goodbye, and I know it's not really goodbye because you're sticking around, so instead, I'll say thank you. Thank you Alex, for all that you've given us and all you have built. It's been a great ride and I've loved every minute.

[@IWillAlwaysJustBeMe13]

So glad we got a chance to be a part of this journey with you. What a ride it’s been. Here’s to the future and not fading away ❤️

[@chrisrj9871]

It's been a fun time watching you on YT. Thank you for your bright presence :) And I DEFINITELY agree with you about Connor!!!

[@shortychronicles252]

Thank you for finishing this show, and letting us go on this journey with you. I wish you all the best.

[@jasonsaroyan]

Thanks TWB. It's been a wonderful ride. Started watching in 2017 or so and it's been an awesome ride! Important to note that Fred and Illyria's souls merged, they had planned to have more Fred come out in Season 6, she would do a BruceBanner-Hulk/Clark Kent-Superman thing where the chaotic dual spirit would express unevenly. Was so disappointed we never got that. :(

[@AlfonsoEspina]

I just want to say that rewatching the Angel series through your reactions made my days brighter. So I'm sad this is coming to an end. But all good things come to an end.

[@thomasstevens2746]

Gonna miss your reactions so much

[@Elisheval]

The ending is always a disappointment the first time, but then you grow to appreciate the meaning... that it's an ongoing struggle. My favourite moment is when Illyria asks Wes if she should lie to him and he says yes. GGGGrrr Arghhh, I wish I saw your reaction to that! Oh well, it's been fun watching you for 4 years (sounds stalker-ie)... Good luck on your future projects.

[@avg8922]

The continuation is in the comics "Angel: After the fall".

[@beautyb4876]

Thank you for all your videos been so great watching your reactions to my favourite shows

[@kevinbre7563]

Congratulations on putting yourself out there and knowing when you're ready to move on. Glad you aren't lonely anymore 🤗🤗🤗

[@allis143]

It's continued as a comic. And you're taking the ending better than those of us who saw it when it was originally aired.

[@Sims2Squared]

Thanks for the fantastic journey!

[@GabbyOssi]

So glad you finally uploaded these. Hope you will keep all your old reactions up so I can get back to them if I ever watch some other shows you've reacted to. All the best and good luck with the Twitch stuff ❤

[@MyFeuerFrey]

Its amazing how fitting the ending is. Angel started the show trying to fight for a reward. Be it redemption or making a difference or becoming human. He then faced the impossible pointless nature of that through Jasmine and learned that if nothing we do matters, all that matters is what we do. And that's how the show ends. Angel doing what matters. Fighting the good fight in the life and conflict beyond a single person. And yeah there's no definitive end, no definitive fin written at the end of the story. Just the fight for what one believes in. Just the choices and beliefs we take up to make the world better, no matter how pointless or hard or beyond our capabilities it might be. And thus the show ends with Angel living that message, that moment of making the choice to fight for the ideal of a better future. And whether the fight continues with the comics or ends here, it does not matter in the end. Because all that matters is what we do.

[@raymonddiaz1106]

I hate to see you go my man, I really enjoyed your reactions. Best of luck to your future endeavors. I do have a game recommendation for you I would love to watch to play, the mass effect trilogy legendary edition that just came out not too long ago. Great story, I really think you’ll like it. Once again thanks

[@honeybadger8844]

Wow. I remember how excited I was when you first started reacting to Buffy. It feels like no time and forever at the first time. Now there are so many Buffyverse reactors but it’s beautiful to see where it all started end :)

[@therocpd]

From season 8 of Doctor who until this. Its have been our absolute privilege to share the journey with you x

[@frozenpiper2]

I took a chance tonight to see if you had ever gotten back to reacting to Angel and was so glad that you finished. I've binged the remaining reactions And it's bittersweet to know that you're not going to be reacting to anymore shows after Doctor Who. I've watched so many series with you and It has been a privilege. Best of luck in your future.

[@metapoulpo2745]

I like how this end is the opposite of buffy's ending on a same plan. :)

[@hardybryan]

They were forced to rush to this ending, but they nailed the finale.

[@BWR82]

Thanks for the reactions! I watched them all and I enjoyed them all! So yeah thanks man!

[@TheNoybusiness]

The sort of open-ended ending Supernatural *should* have done.

[@TheNaruto91uzumaki]

I've been sub to for a long time since the og channel wanted to say thank you for everything I wish you lucky on your future .

[@cyloncatorce]

Season Six in Comic. Angel: After the Fall.

[@lunna45]

I had a friend who worked on Angel, and when the series ended there was talk about a movie to wrap up the show. Kinda like how Firefly ended with Serenity. Unfortunately, it never happened... :(

[@Shoofyou10]

It’s the perfect ending for the show. After Angel hits rock bottom in season 2 after his elevator ride from hell with Holland Manners where he realized that he can never truly “win” against evil. But it’s about fighting the good fight for as long as you can. “If nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do”. The shows rallying cry and a fitting end for the series. Just perfect in my book

[@stillinhere]

It was quite a journey. Godspeed.

[@drdreidle2303]

Well I'm here several days late but I'm glad I got to watch you have same reaction I did when I finished Angel. You hit me in the feels bud with "knowing when to say goodbye". Hit little too close to home. Btw I learned about back in 2018 when I was watching Star Wars Rebels and had to watch other people's reaction to Season 3 with Grand Admiral Thrawn canon. I'm happy to have watching ya grow in those few short years. Definitely gonna follow on twitch bud

[@barbarabaker1457]

Gonna freaking cry! You will be missed and I will keep putting you in Reactor Awards if you leave your vids up and I'll be sure to plug twitch whenever you get in. Thank you for Years of joy.

[@ace360]

Hey Alex just wanted to see this final reaction I remember Finding your channel way back in the day When You started Buffy episode 1, Because of You Good Sir I found Dr Who and Torchwood so Thanks Brother 🤘 and seeing Your..ok All of Our Journey for SPN lol back to what I was saying lol Switching Universe's 🤣 It's been a Hell of of a Ride man Thanks for Everything and Remember The Book's "Aftermath After The Fall" Some even James Marsters wrote 🤘 Stay awesome Brother 👏

[@artman2oo3]

14:16 Actually… there isn’t nothing left. If you can get a hold of the BTVS Season 8 motion comic you can react to that.

[@ahmedbluth3735]

I love your videos and I loved Buffy and Angel I hope you always be safe and have great times ❤

[@TheJankyAnarchist]

Now, on your own time, you need to get a hold of & read the graphic novels for both Buffy & Angel...they continue the stories from the end of each show respectively.

[@menachemsalomon]

Thank you, and goodbye.

[@StoryOfUsFinalDraft]

What is twitch and how's it different from KZbin

[@krishnabrian691]

hugs

[@TheNoybusiness]

"Not needed here anymore"? You're better than just any average reactor. :( .
