Buffy vs Dark Willow - BTVS HD

[@doctorwhat3683]

Just shows that Alyson is a genuinely good actress. She’s really good here distinguishing between the two parts. Not just visually but listen to her - all of the nerdy warmth has gone from Willow’s voice.

Buffy has acknowledged that she wouldn't be alive without them. Although this narrative is silly. She warned them multiple times and even saved them when they didn't listen to her multiple times.

She only fought Dark Willow once, and was holding back. Also with the other villains she couldn’t defeat some of them by herself. Glory for instance made Buffy look like a joke for most of the season, and it took a god hammer and the entire effort of the scoobies to put her down not just Buffy. The Mayor it took heaps of dynamite, and with Adam she had to power up using the enjoining spell not standard slayer power she was using here.

How can you let grief make you lose all rationale like that.

[@nickpearson871]

Very easily - grief is the headset demon I have ever had to face. You truly just want to give up and give in. Some people have the strength to carry on; some people unfortunately fall into that black hole of mess. It feels like the universe is taunting you and you are all alone. When my husband and father died last year, I went to dark depth I never realised were there. Everything up until that point paled in comparison. I lost my soulmate and I was angry - angry at everything and everyone. It doesn’t make sense and that makes it even more vengeful. Everyone reacts differently - Willow obviously wanted vengeance for an act that was completely heinous - Warren didn’t even realise he had inadvertently killed Tara. And he didn’t particularly care when he found out. As she said herself, she’s “not coming back” from this. Nick

I was so disappointed with this season. I do love these final episodes, willow turning big bad. Just seemed like whedon was trying to make up for a long season. Granted, I get character development but he could have done that without the nerds. Maybe have willow’s clear abuse of magic, Tara split force her to join a coven where things could get out of hand from there, slowly drawing her down the darker path. That coven could’ve been the main force of evil, until willow goes all big bad. All the characters could have still done their development while the story unfolded, just a thought. Still, gotta love seeing Alyson’s acting this, just wow.

[@fighterck6241]

The nerds were a necessity. They needed a human antagonist that would have been taboo for her to kill. That's the entire thing that sets up the whole arc as well as the conflict.

Dark Willow Versus Wild Iori

[@aaronatkinson177]

I think if tara was still alive and willow like that she would absolutely hate willow and would want nothing to do with her

[@camgeorge6222]

Nope Tara would have wanted to save willow and get her help thou she would have no trust in her she would know that willow darkness is brought about by her pain and rage.

[@CyanHope]

If Tara was alive, Willow would’ve never even got to this point.

Dark Willow was the last good thing on BTVS. After that it all went downhill and season 7 is garbitch.

[@1DRIA22]

This Dark Willow narrative is kinda good and kinda cringy

[@Dealio09]

I feel like BTVS was the first to do it during this era. And they did it exceedingly well. Now the good guy gone bad arc is more common these days.

Only Dark Willow could have reduced Glory to ashes.

[@TheJayden3977]

Glory is immortal and near invulnerable, and can only die through Ben. I doubt Dark Willow would be turning her to ashes, considering Glory also has insane super speed on top of her giant physical prowess, not to mention stomped Buffy in a fight easier and way more times than Dark Willow ever did.
