Buffy vs Edward: Twilight Remixed -- [original version]

[@inamib.9786]

I'm finally getting around to watching Buffy and there's this scene in S2 where Angel mentions that Buffy hasn't been sleeping well and everyone looks at him like he's a creep and he exclaims "she told me about it of course!" The series was calling out Twilight before it even existed 😂

[@NejisMate]

These comments disgust me. How about we *don’t* blame the victims for being in an abusive relationship? Young girls are taught that this “Edward-behaviour” is normal, they have nobody saying that this behaviour is wrong. Twilight came out when I was a pre-teen and at the time I saw nothing wrong with his attitude, I didn’t see the abuse, for me it was “romantic”. Later, many years later, I learned that this isn’t normal, that’s it’s creepy, but it took a lot of reading about consent and actually knowing what an abusive relationship looked like to finally understand. Society doesn’t teach us that Edward-behaviour is creepy. Young girls *actually believe* that this is romantic, because that’s what society keeps showing them again and again in books, movies and series. *Self-esteem and respect have nothing to do with it.* It’s very easy to get caught in an abusive relationship if you don’t know what an abusive relationship is or looks like. So let’s not shame the young girls who think this is "romantic". Blame the writer, the director, the actors who never mentioned this was an unhealthy relationship to their young fans, blame the people who keep showing these behaviours as something to look up to. And teach the young girls to see the world differently, in a way that will help them live a better life and avoid an abusive relationship.

[@Nicamon]

Also...may I remind you that Buffy got in an abusive relationship too and people find THAT ONE romantic eaither(COFF COFF COFF Spike COFF COFF...>O

[@tanzeemahmed7196]

Nicamon No they don't. It was mutually abusive before the inexcusable rape attempt. But Edward was abusive throughout the relationship in Twilight and Spike actually makes the effort to become a better man. Either way, like Angel isn't Angelus, Souled and Unsouled Spike are not the same. Nothing forgives him but I think it's unfair to compare those who like Buffy/Spike to those who like the couple in Twilight.

[@user-qv2qf1jk5o]

Well, accepting this behavior as normal is actually an indicator of low self respect - but like you said, that’s not their fault, it is that of the producers, directors, writers, etc. When they teach girls that their personal boundaries and privacy and consent mean nothing if a boy really likes you, and those being violated are actually a sign of devotion or love, they are disrespecting those things and therefore teaching low self-respect and incredibly low standards.

[@merikano2985]

LOL Most of her rejections were when she was telling Spike off, which was such a fun story to follow. On a more serious note when compared the two vampires there is a lot more character development on Spike's side, to the point where he changes his entire nature to be the kind of person Buffy could love. In Twilight it's more Bella changing her entire nature for Edward. One franchise promotes strength and independence for women while the other fixates that the only thing that matters is finding a man.

[@Nicamon]

Nicamon Well he's the only one who sought his soul. He's the only one who ever *attempted* to curb his unsouled nature. He's the one she's with now. And by the way, according to video commentary and interviews with Noxon and Whedon, Buffy did mean what she said at the end of Chosen.

As I said in my other comment,having a vampire that becomes Good *before* gaining a soul is nonsense.If you can be Good with or without a soul,what's the point in having a soul in the 1st place?!?

200ret1 Actually, Bella does get mad at Wardo. Like whenever he drags her to the prom, and she starts crying, and he says "Don't be difficult, Bella". Or whenever he drags her to his car, and then she immediately forgets about it whenever a song she likes comes on (I think it was Clair de Lune). Or whenever he kidnaps her in Eclipse and she's pissed off at both Edward and Alice, and even implies that she thinks it's abusive. Or in New Moon, whenever they're on the plane, when he's barely been back in her life a few hours, and he forbids her from drinking Coke because of the Caffeine, and instead of telling him to shove his disapproval up his ass she lies and says she wants to stay awake so she can spend more time with him. Or whenever Jacob sexually assaults her, and instead of beating Jacob's ass, he calmly and rationally says not to "damage" her, like she's come of object. Or whenever she's trying to find ways to sneak over to see Jacob, and she has to figure out a way to do so without Wardo knowing, as if he's her father instead of her boyfriend (ELECTRA COMPLEX). Or whenever she's pissed off at him for using marriage as a bargaining chip, making her agree to get married to him before she gets sex from him. Or whenever they're on the first date, he orders her to eat and drink something, and she's pissed off at him for making him do it (instead of doing what Buffy would do and tell him to shove his commands up his ass). Or perhaps the biggest one of all, he abandons her in New Moon, cutting her off from all the other Cullens (including Alice, who she's supposedly best gal pals with), taking away all her stuff she had of him so she can't heal on her own terms, all of which makes her slip into psychosis and suicidal behavior (it doesn't matter if she wasn't TRYING to kill herself; it's still suicidal. People who cut but aren't doing so to die are still considered performing suicidal actions). But really though, Bella is so unrealistic. She seems to get off on it instead of doing what a real woman would do.

[@aislin1057]

Though I realize this is a 5 year old comment I still want to respond lol. You got most of the plot points correct, but stating that Bella is an unrealistic character is not correct is my opinion. There are many valid arguments against her character-- she is attracted to an obviously very creepy and fucked up guy for one, and is completely reliant on him for two. One of the most spoken of character faults is that she is bland and doesn't have much going for her. The fact that every single guy in her new school immediately falls in love with her or whatever seems unfounded, but she wasn't really meant to be some wonderful character who actually deserves the amount of attention she receives. Bella is something of a blank space in the story for young girls to insert themselves into via her very vague personality and physical traits. And I'd say this definitely worked given how many young girls truly identified with her and wanted to be in the place to pick between an array of hot suiters showering attention on them. You compare Buffy to Bella as an example for what a "real woman" would do (Again yes, I understand that this is a 5 year old comment, and I don't mean this as a character judgement of you or anything. I just think it's an interesting conversation.) but I think that's an unfair assessment. Bella (and by extension every fangirl who has every loved this story and wanted to live it, including myself) was taught to react to men the way she does. Edward is one hundred and FUCKING EIGHT YEARS OLD. ALL of the blame for their fucked up weird codependent relationship is on him. Not the seventeen year old girl. So to wrap up (lol this was way longer than planned.), A, Bella was not an adult woman in this story and should not be expected to deal with the complicated and confusing relationship dynamics in a reasonable way like a mature woman. And B, she reacts to the situation in a culture-trained way. That does not make her any less of a legitimate person/girl/woman. She "got off on it instead of doing what a real woman would do" because she was never taught to value herself in the way Buffy seems to have been taught (soz, I've never watched Buffy). So she gained her value and self worth and happiness from the place all girls and women are taught to derive it from: men.

[@AlmightyMeow]

That was hilarious! I love Buffy's reactions (as always), she's just so tired of his shit. It was well put-together, bravo! :)

[@elliest55]

Back to this classic, since I'm binge-watching Pop Culture Detective's videos. Just to point out that most of Buffy's lines here are addressed to either Angel or Spike, both of whom she ends up romantically involved with. This doesn't make her any less of a bad-ass, of course, nor does it make Twilight any less trashy and disgustingly backwards, BUT Buffy did have a soft spot and a blind spot when it came to her vampire allies/stalkers. PS For some reason, I really wanted her to say "that'll put marzipan on your pie plate, bingo" after she stakes him.

[@gaggle101]

The amount of thought and effort that has gone into making this makes me believe in humanity again.

[@ShadowOnTheWall666]

Wow. Round of applause. This was a very smart idea to create an edit with the Twilight film to show the appropriate response to Edward's sick obsessive behavior and though it was supposed to be twisted natured it was actually entertaining to watch, parts of it had me laughing out loud, particularly his response when she told him she was the slayer. While however, Buffy was the perfect fit she was also hypocritical. Her relationship with Angel was in many ways identical and even on some level worse. Angel too stalked her and invaded her bedroom, and in BTVS lore the only way it was possible to get through her window was for her to invite him to do so (in addition he took her to prom and then left her so he wouldn't hurt her but those points are not relevant here). To top it off he in human terms was a 25-year-old man attracted to a 16-year-old minor. At least Edward's human age was 17. There is actually a term for this: Statutory rape! Angel could have ended up register as a sex offender in the state of California. Team Cangel! Then there were a couple flaws with the editing. While the scene and dialogue merging were fantastic the interactions would have felt just a bit more like they fit together if you'd done some work with the coloring of the footage. Twilight's cool and bright hues next to Buffy's exact opposite warm and dark hues are a contrast that heavily stands out. Also, I felt the "I'm on a special diet' and 'I feel very protective of you' lines were kind of random and didn't really fit. I'd maybe have started with the "I can read every mind in this room apart from yours." line. It's a bit more of a believable conversation starter. The phone conversation would have also made more sense if his two lines "You and I are gonna go somewhere alone" and "I don't have the strength to stay away from you" had been delivered in reverse. Though Meyer has stated that she never intended for Bella to be seen as a role model, our intentions do not dictate the responses we receive and a startling amount of young girls find Edward to be the ideal boyfriend because she doesn't exactly make an effort to express that his behavior is unacceptable. In general, fiction is not meant to be taken seriously nor is it meant to be realistic, believable but not realistic. There is a difference, for example, a vampire frying in the sun vs sparkling; neither is realistic because there are no such thing vampires but the frying is more believable. Nonetheless, writers need to be careful of what they put out there because there are people out there who will take a work of fiction scarily seriously. UPDATE: I now have a t-shirt that says: "And Buffy staked Edward--the end." XD

[@EverydayZer0]

With the whole 'Angel' thing, Buffy knew it was wrong and didn't want it. Angel also didn't want it as he knew it was wrong too. It ended badly and they moved on with their lives, whereas Twilight... Bella just mopes over no sparkly-obsessive-vampire for months on end without doing anything or moving on. You can't really say the Buffy/Angel thing is anything alike Twilight's Bella/Edward- there are many differences, plus the Buffy/Angel relationship seems a lot healthier because Angel isn't threatening to suck her blood every time she's around.

The idea and story are really good but I'm even more impressed about the editing! Excellent job! Keep up the good work!

[@jeeva1996]

This is sooo good!!! Unbelievable, keep up trade good work :)

[@christiegreenwood2642]

Poor Cedric can't catch a break. XD

[@monikeryes]

This was bloody perfect, I'm upset I haven't seen this until now 😢

[@deanastyxhades]

This is so well done it's amazing!! Thank you oh so much for this! Now I've got the urge to go re-watch Buffy the Vampire to see more of her wonderful snark and confidence!

[@radim279]

I know I'm 14 years too late and the Twilight hate-craze has come and gone but this was so - fucking - CATHARTIC

[@sunshine90088]

This is pure gold, I love it haha, Edward never seemed more creepy and idiot 😅 I love buffy

[@MegaBlackn]

This is just so fantastically timed!

[@Stingmon21]

God, 15 years old and this is STILL awesome!

[@redactedredacted6656]

This is hilarious . If Joss Whedon directed Twilight it would of been my favourite film . Buffy acts like any sane person would if they were being stalked by Edward Cullen.

[@HolldollMcG]

Pure. Genius! i love Buffy. and I love that the show praised her for her strength. She didn't need some creepo to save her, talk down to her, or stalk her to prove she was worth a man's time or attention. Shows like Twilight send some pretty weird and damaging messages to both men and women, particularly to young people who are still trying to figure out what is proper and acceptable and what is harassing and inappropriate.

All these years and never gets old

[@joeyy88]

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU ALSO MADE THIS KIND OF VIDEO OMFG I LOVE YOU

[@qwahaxahn]

Hard to believe there are a girls defending Twilight. Or insisting there's something even right about it. Please consider taking some breath in the self-respect turf

[@NejisMate]

Self-esteem and respect have nothing to do with it. Girls are taught that this “Edward-behaviour” is normal. You can't blame young girls for believing it because that’s what they’re taught, they have nobody saying that this behaviour is wrong. Twilight came out when I was a pre-teen and at the time I saw nothing wrong with his attitude, I didn’t see the abuse, for me it was “romantic”. Later, many years later, I learned that this isn’t normal, that’s it’s creepy, but it took a lot of reading about consent and actually knowing what an abusive relationship looked like to finally understand. Society doesn’t teach us that Edward-behaviour is creepy. Young girls *actually believe* that this is romantic, because that’s what society keeps showing them again and again in books, movies and series. It’s very easy to get caught in an abusive relationship if you don’t know what an abusive relationship is or looks like. A girl can respect herself as much as she wants, but if her view of what's morally wrong or right is different to yours, her actions will of course be different to what you determine to be actions of "self-respect". So let’s not shame the young girls who think this is "romantic". Blame the writer, the director, the actors who never mentioned this was an unhealthy relationship to their young fans, blame the people who keep showing these behaviours as something to look up to. And teach the young girls to see the world differently, in a way that will help them live a better life and avoid an abusive relationship.

[@virid1021]

This is awesome!

[@lucysproggs7910]

That is the best thing ever.

[@gizemkaraca5by5]

This is the best BtVS vs Twilight video ever! I never get bored watching this

[@MrDylpickle27]

GO BUFFY!

[@valasafantastic1055]

This was perfection! Absolutely fantastic job!!!

[@MorbidMekhet]

Wow - I just realized how creepy this Edward McSparklydude actually is. o_O never paid much attention to the Twilight-Movies, but now it seems to me that there´s actually something far more disturbing to them than just sparkling vamps. Sidenote: In this mix, Buffy has a surprisingly high amount of patience with Edward before she finally dusts him. Usually she kills Vampires on the spot for less severe offenses. Though I could see this working as an actual episode :D

[@frutrace]

How have I never seen this before? This was... perfect. This is also now my official head canon for what really happened in Twilight. Who knew that all Twilight needed was a little Buffy? So awesome.

[@zvezdoblyat]

"don't leave" **Leaves** Lmao I love this

[@grantcurnutte2565]

hehe.

[@zvezdoblyat]

@@grantcurnutte2565 thanks for commenting so that I could see this again

[@ahawkone8850]

Holy shit, this was made in 2009.... Man time flies, lmao

[@ranelgallardo7031]

Pwnasaurus Rex And it still makes me laugh

[@flootzavut]

This is fantastic, I seriously loved every second 😂

[@justinfelgar1913]

Great vid bro. Would love to see a "Angel vs. Edward" or a "Spike vs. Edward" vid. Thatd be epic lol

[@elliehd7]

BUFFY ALL THE WAYYYY! ❤️

[@Starstrip]

The Cedric clips were UNCALLED FOR.

[@dvonpm4881]

Best critique of Twilight ever XD

[@ovuokeaghwotu2389]

You are my best KZbin subscription since I started using KZbin for learning about how the media warps our perception of seemingly obvious issues. Thank you Pop Culture Detective.

[@imakefoodhappen]

Edward's regular type of flirting (sneaking into her room and watching the girl sleep) was exactly the same as Angel's threatening scare tactics of his prey (He watched buffy sleep and drew her picture in bed etc) after he lost his soul.

[@CharlotteEdmonds626]

This is great!! lol. Then it was Cedric haha!! oh I can't get over this. IT was perfect scene editing too.

[@hans6542]

***** awesome video, congratulations

[@marycooper6117]

I am very glad I saw the video before I read the description. I would never expect an entry in the Glorious War Against Tumblr-Trending Bigotry to be so well-done and make so much sense.

[@TheLaLollo]

I love this. It's perfect remix

[@axf9202]

This is perfect, thank you. I laughed so hard

[@Gnomey97]

Thank you. This is amazing!!

[@jpowell180]

Well done - can't believe this was posted eight years ago & I've only just now seen it!
