@@SjofnBM1989 I'm not sure where you're getting Drusilla in all this? I never made a connection to Dru and the Gypsy girl Angelus killed. I made a connection to Spike telling the Scoobies that Dracula learned his magic from gypsies. The question was whether or not Dracula learned magic from Gypsies or if Spike were lying / exaggerating about it. Perhaps poorly worded on my part but I was trying to imply to the OP that vampires could have learned their magic AFTER they were turned - as is implied by Spike regarding Dracula.

Buffy has to be the TV show with the best vampire/Demon makeup even to this day...most of the other tv shows with vampires have horrible makeup and most of it clearly looks fake...but with Buffy it still looks very natural and has a certain beauty and aesthetic to it.

[@NotBizarro]

I dunno, man, I think the Strain has Buffy best on vampire makeup

[@xenomorphlover]

@@NotBizarro watched a few scenes on KZbin and it looked very artificial. Don't get me wrong, it's quite a unique design but it looks fake as opposed to some vampires/demons in Buffy where the makeup/prosthetics are almost naturally integrated into the face/body. In addition the makeup in Buffy has a certain aesthetic to it where it's still beautiful to look at whereas the vampires in the Strain are simply disgusting...but I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder 😬

[@Wonderlandhype]

I think that it looks similar the the vampires from The Lost Boys so I really like the 'homage'.

[@Nico42_]

Yeah, I love those shows too but the vampires there weren't as strong as other vampire from other shows, super speed and healing factor should have been better in Buffy and Angel

[@TheAngryPotato]

Unlike Angel, Spike willingly had his soul restored through "The Demon Trials". The Demon who oversaw his trials called himself "Lloyd", possibly an agent for the Senior Partners, because he spoke in plural. Spike is unique in that he CHOSE his hero path, as opposed to Angel who was punished.

[@imbatman8472]

technically Angel did feed on humans again, Buffy made him feed on her in season three to cure the poison and he bit Kate when he was undercover and Wesley gave him some blood because he had been at the bottom of the sea too long, also it may not count but he did drink from a dead guy who had been shot in a robbery.

[@Nepthu]

As a Buffy fan, this presentation made me notice how vampire fangs may have evolved over the series. For example, the season 1&2 shots show Darla and Angel with a bunch of gnarly teeth but by season 4, Dracula is depicted as having the normal two fangs in a mouth of otherwise perfect pearly whites. Anyone else notice this? Now I want to go check pics on how the fangs evolved in the show!

I did notice that! I think Dracula was special so he had a unique transformation

[@Nepthu]

@@coganLollins In response to your video, I re-watched scenes one of my favorite season 4 eps "Freshman" and some of the vampires, like Sunday and "Keanu", also have nice-looking teeth, except for the fangs.

I don’t recall the show ever inferring that Angel’s “champion” status gave him any enhanced abilities over other vampires. However, I’m pretty sure it is stated that vampires become more powerful with age, and Angel is at an advanced age even by vampire standards, which explains his superior abilities over most vampires.

[@Elizalustof]

Only three Slayers became vampires? In Tales of the slayer there is two Slayers - Britta and Zoe who became slaypires. It wasn’t stated if Britta was ever dusted either as she was entombed with her watcher so she would kill him. Zoe was tricked by her watcher upon her crucimentum and fed to a vampire. Like Buffy she still had some humanity as a slaypire and exposed herself to the sun to stop from killing. Yuki was turned by the master as featured in the comics . Xx

I know you've never seen it, but to bypass William (aka Spike) by simply baking him "a man who still loved his mother". Spike was the only vampire to kill not just one, but two slayers. And could've easily killed Buffy (making a third slayer) several times but rather fell in love with her.

That was what Joss said in season 1 about the pilot but it was never brought up in the series, The Master is also mentioned as the oldest vampire in recorded history and given kokistos was in a old research book(recorded history), I'd say that Joss retconned his earlier quote.

If you're "currently still watching" Buffy, then I don't want to spoil anything for you, and I'm also curious as to why you would make this video before finishing BOTH series.

[@grantpflum6844]

It was never confirmed in cannon that the slayer's line isn't genetic and it WAS confirmed that the Watcher's council DID keep track of specific family lines for potential slayers. The only time inheritance was confirmed as not being possible was in the case of Robin Wood and that was because his mother activated AFTER he was born AND he was born a man. Both factors which were confirmed to affect the slayer line.

[@coganLollins]

That’s cool thanks for the info 🙏

[@grantpflum6844]

@@coganLollins 😜 Love your videos. Keep up the great work!

[@ateam404]

It’s clearly not genetic. There are at least 1500 potentials at any given time all over the world. It was never confirmed as to why one is chosen or the order they are called. I assume this was to say anyone could be a potential slayer but it does stick out in retrospect when we know how the 1st slayer came to be.

[@grantpflum6844]

@@ateam404 Not quite. Your missing a VERY big point from the cannon. When a slayer dies the next one is chosen from the line of potentials, yes, but ALSO by GEOGRAPHY! Giles canonically confirms in the very first season of Buffy that the NEWEST slayer is ALWAYS chosen by her proximity to what is considered to be the next highest threat by the world itself. Its actually why Buffy was chosen despite not being from any of the watched line of potentials. She WAS a potential, but her bloodline made the chances of her inheriting vanishingly small. Her proximity to Lothas AND an active hellmouth pretty much shit all over those odds and turned it into an all hands on deck situation. So yes, it is influenced by genes but while the original spell was in place the next slayer was always chosen by need, which as the Milena, passed and the number of decendants increased, made keeping track of the potentials and predicting the next chosen one that much harder. As for Sineya's appearance, well that is hardly a factor. I invite you to look up the genetic principal of Mitochondrial Eve. About around 30.000 years ago, around Sineays's time, the human population dropped to about 3000-10,000 people. Its why nearly EVERYONE today is related if you go back far enough and probably why you find slayers in EVERY culture and ethnicity.

[@CharismaSpencer]

@@grantpflum6844 It's been made clear that the Slayer line is completely random, it is not inherited. Watchers have been around since the dawn of Humans, if there was any blood connection it would have been known by them. While geography may play a part in who The Powers That Be decide which potential to activate next, it has nothing to do with genes.

[@MrKoutsuko]

Can't remember where, but there was a vampire mythology that had vampires survive decapitation, but it was the most effective way to stop them just because of the fact that they would be just a living head. They were as vulnerable to sunlight as a corpse in decomposition would be, nothing could really kill them, but they could become weak from starvation, sunlight and so on. It was really interesting, most of the usual weaknesses were fabricated just so they could prove that they weren't vampires, but they were just a living corpse vulnerable to everything that a regular undead would be. It's a shame that I can't remember, but I'll make an effort and return is something crosses my mind.

Angel with his soul is a noble Paragon hero. He was a drunken lecherous jerk before becoming a vampire. His full soulless vampire form and jealous is so terrifying other vampires are scared of him.

vampires as demons living in a corpse is what vampires actually are in southern Slavic folklore.

[@KingofWannada]

great work as always

[@coganLollins]

Thank you! 🙏

[@MedoJumelOfficial]

The vaporwave soundtrack fits so well with the 90s buffy’s clips

[@Prototype9871]

Keep up the good work I enjoy listening

[@everettparker1313]

This was an Incredible Video for The Vampires and Demons from The Buffyverse. Hey Coagan Lollins could you please do Character Lore for The Master from The Buffyverse?

[@Mukation]

Correction! In Angel i specifally remember that Angel litterally tore of the head of some sort of a demon, who did not die from that :P He even laughed outright at the demon in disbelief "how the!? *laughs* I'm holding your head!!!" Can't remember what episode it was..... But i think it was one of the earlier ones where Fred was introduced?

[@stephaniel2850]

Ahh yes, I think it was from season 4, Supersymmetry, when Fred discovers it was her old professor who had sent her to Pylea!

[@elizabethanthony3916]

Best quote from the first episode of Angel " Can you fly?"

[@RobG001]

The irony that the horned demon he repeatedly put on the screen was Giles, Buffy's Watcher, who was cursed into demon form in one of the episodes. :)

[@daveluna7931]

This was amazing 🤩

[@vortex7485]

This is great! I'd love to see you do a video on Lovecraft Country

[@rhianonmorris5367]

I'd like to see you cover the film Near Dark! it came out the same year as Lost Boys, and was largely looked over. and for TV, I wonder if you've seen What We Do In The Shadows yet?

[@Mike-qc8xd]

great movie better then lost boys

[@Iconicbeyy]

Been waiting for Buffy !!!!! My favorite show in the world !!!

[@ryanclark3445]

Cheers for the content

[@twix3637]

Yes

[@roryedward2631]

This was such a well done video, you did your research well for someone whos never watched Buffy/Angel. lol

[@saturnianrings3920]

Please do Dusk till Dawn. One of my fav Movies ever. bit over the top, but I love it, and I think you'd like it too. Also, if you need more Lore, there is a TV Show.

[@Mike-qc8xd]

i hate those vamps

[@jameswest4259]

Hope you don't get tired of hearing me say this because I really love your videos man, and it's for that reason I ask, please do Salem's Lot 1979 if you ever get the chance. Or maybe you're waiting until the new movie version comes out on Sept 9th? Either way you rock 🤘

[@ZaeArea]

Loving the videos!!!

[@shelbydakota100]

I love these videos!!

[@TheZeroAssassin]

Good video, well explained. A+

[@camgeorge6222]

Angel and spike was able to move fast enough to dodge lightning and lasers. Plus anime vampires like alucard can survive decapitation. Plus in the season 10 comics willow had a priest blessed a building to use as a stake for. meloker

[@davidponseigo8811]

I worked as a Louisiana State Special Officer during and after Hurricane Katrina and us and the National Guard Units we worked with experienced and encountered real Vampires in New Orleans and multiple other paranormal entities.

[@richiejune3604]

I remember as a kid I get so excited when the new ep come out. I always rush home from school too make it in time lol

[@sidd_not_vicious2609]

the whole mirror thing is because old mirrors used silver as a backing..modern mirrors they would be able to see themselves

[@phillip3298]

I grew up watching this with my older sister when we were young. I love this show.

[@rickfromhell]

I remember watching the premiere of Buffy on the WB network in 1997 when I was 9 years old. I was already a fan of the movie, and a general vampire and witch junkie.

[@greatwhitenorthcorvette8133]

Buffy is a slayer for sure

[@Appsmmogamer]

Was hoping you would do this one. One other show to look for is being human but make sure it's the USA version of the show. It's got vampires, werewolf and ghost.

[@williamwinder5011]

20:55 I believe the amulet only worked on Spike because he had a soul

[@jordanwilliams7631]

Vampires can also be brought back by wishes from demons who posses that power (seasons 3 the wish, the timeline is changed so buffy never went to sunnydale bringing back the master - although he had no recollection of dying) also vampires can gain their soul from a demon who possess the power to do so (which was what spike did) loved the video

[@batnick4433]

I thought Dracula learned Magic from witches in the Buffy universe

[@oferarubas]

Can you make a video about all the different dimensions mentioned in Buffy and angel and all the different things coming from those dimensions like glory , Jasmine, dahofreen, etc

[@BouncingTribbles]

I watched Buffy and Angel in chronological order and now I just think of them as one show

[@nora-cu1de]

You should watch The vampire diaries and Penny dreadful!!! I found your channel a few weeks ago and I really enjoy watching your videos.Thank you.
