It is an angel and a demon; it is justice and evil; it is generosity and stingy; it is sorrow and joy.
Angel is everything.
(The background music of this chapter is Jacky Cheung's "Drowning")
Maybe the first actor of every American TV series is treated differently, but not everyone is as complicated as Angel.
I'm afraid, Angel is so complicated that Buffy's episodes can't accommodate him. A new show needs to be opened and named after him.
Los Angeles, City of Angels. LA, is his city. Angel drama is his story. However, we watched 5 seasons, plus Buffy's 3 seasons, but still don't understand him.
Maybe it should be so, who can say that you really understand a person?
But if we want to try to understand him, we should start from the beginning of everything.
At first, in the small town of Galway in Ireland, there was a idle guy whose name was Liam. He has slept with almost all the women in the village. He was out of business and was driven out of the house by his father.
However, he is a genius in painting. No one had taught him, he was self-taught. Just like a Miao woman singing in the mountains, she doesn't know what the staff looks like, but she can move the master by opening her voice.
His father was a businessman and asked him to inherit the family business. He hated his paintings and he used his fist to emphasize this point. His mother was either unwilling or dare not, in short, never persuaded his father. The people in the village sided with his father, thinking that he was a shame to the whole village. The only one on his side was his sister Kathy, however, she was still too young.
Liam, Liam, you really shouldn't have been born in Galway in the 17th century, you should have been born in China in the early Republic of China. A talented young man, a stubborn and conservative father, plus a woman with both talents and appearance, is a legend.
However, Liam was not born in China at the beginning of the Republic of China. He was born in Galway in the 17th century. He did not meet a woman with both talents and appearance. He met Darla.
Darla hates this world. When she died, she was a prostitute who suffered from gonorrhea, was abandoned by the world, and was extremely ill. When she was alive, the world looked down on her and didn't care about her life or death. After she died, she looked down on the world and didn't care about her life or death. No, she cares. She sees the suffering of the world and feels it is a great joy.
So when we saw Liam again, his name was already Angelus.
Angelus is a vampire, and he is not an ordinary vampire, he is a member of the Aurelius family.
To understand the above sentence, you need to clarify what a vampire is.
My personal understanding is that it is easier to explain in the language of fantasy cultivation novels. When a person is dying, he drinks the blood of a vampire, that is, ingests the vampire’s "devil seed". When a person is alive, the demon seed is suppressed by the soul. After the person dies, the soul leaves the body, and the demon seed is activated and begins to transform the person's body while receiving the memory of the person. After the transformation is completed, the magic seed will play the role of the power source, which is the heart.
The question is, what kind of process is the magic seed receiving the person's memory.
The Demon Seed itself has no memory, that's for sure. The Demon Seed has an extremely strong survival instinct and a desire for violence, but what else is there?
I personally believe that losing the soul and gaining the magic seed is equivalent to losing the sense of responsibility, guilt, and the consciousness of being a human being, gaining powerful strength, love for violence, and the recognition of human beings as food.
In addition, in Buffy's play, there are several words about vampires: fledgling, master, minion. Fledgling refers to an immature "young" vampire who has just completed the conversion; master refers to a mature and powerful vampire who can be alone; minion is a vampire who has no hope of becoming a master and can only be a cannon fodder. Corresponding to the concept of humans, fledgling is a juvenile, master is the strong, and minion is the weak. Fledgling and minion are generally unable to resist the temptation of vampires' instincts. They show that they don't care about anything, they only know to eat... sweat. The master can resist the temptation of good food, formulate and execute complex plans. When all vampires are just converted, they will go through a process of "no matter what, only knows to eat". For minion, this process will last a lifetime.
The Aurelius family is known as the noble among the vampires. The members of this family may change from fledgling to master in a short time, or the appearance rate of minion is relatively low, or the fighting power of vampires of this family is higher than that of other family members of the same level, or all of the above. .
What does this have to do with Angelus? I hope that there will be a more reasonable explanation for the transition from Liam to Angelus. Because this change was so sudden, according to records, the first thing Angelus did after waking up was to kill all the people in the village, including his sister, and set fire to the village. Since it is worth mentioning, it shows that this kind of behavior is rare among vampires. Why? Is Liam a badass himself? No, apart from alcoholism, promiscuity, and self-defeating, Liam has no obvious tendency to violence, and if there is a massacre, human beings have countless ways to start without waiting to become a vampire. Moreover, if Liam himself is heinous, how to explain Angel's character?
My guess is that in addition to being unable to resist the vampire's eating, hunting, and violent instincts, the vampire who has just been converted may also be affected by sire to a certain extent.
The sire of Angelus is Darla. Darla looks down on the world and holds hatred towards the world.
The more than one hundred years of being Angelus is nothing for us. Yu Xi Lian Ye Dong, Yu Xi Lian Ye Xi, one slaughter here, one slaughter there, that's all. He and Darla traveled around Europe, made a childe (Penn), and drove him away. Another childe (Dru) was created. This childe's predictive ability was very useful, so he was always taken with him. But this childe needs someone to take care of it too much trouble, so when Dru brought Spike back, Angelus didn't throw him in the sun for the first time.
These four vampires were called Scourge of Europe, and blood flowed into rivers wherever they went. Dru prophesied, Spike caused trouble, Angelus lost his temper, Darla looked on coldly (occasionally cynicism), but there is also a kind of alternative home feeling. (Dead)
-I know the above paragraph is a bit of a spoof, but this is the last time it can be spoofed-
and then they came to Romania, and Angelus tortured a gypsy girl to death, so the gypsy cursed him, Curse him to regain his soul.
————(I’m the dividing line that started to go crazy)————
Suppose you live in a crowd, but you always know that you are different from the people around you, and other people can also see the difference. They point to you, saying that you are an outlier. You are powerless to resist, you start to give up on yourself, so everyone spurns you, saying that you are a trash. Your relatives leave you, you numb yourself with alcohol and wait for death.
One day someone appeared in front of you, telling you that you really do not belong to this group of mortals, that you are a prince and deserve the best treatment. You are overjoyed, you follow this person to leave, you are treated like a prince, everyone respects you and fears you, the world turns for you, and you can get what you ask for.
Suddenly one day the sky and the earth fell apart, and the sound was like thunder. You seemed to wake up from a dream. You looked around. You were surrounded by man-eating monsters. In shock, you wanted to escape back to your hometown. Then you remembered that your hometown is no longer there. Your loved ones are made into meat soup, you have eaten it with relish. And the one who killed them with the weapon in hand, and set fire to the hometown, was yourself as a monster.
--how are you feeling?
After the horror madness, you find to your horror that you can do nothing except what the demon does. The hometown is no longer, no relatives and friends exist, you don't know what to do. Desperate, you turn around to find the demon who left you behind, and don't hesitate to stain your hands with blood again-anyway, the worst is the case, just asking for a place to stay. You tried to disguise and try to hide, but the truth was seen, the demons laughed at you, spit on you, and leave you.
What was abandoned by mankind was abandoned by demons.
The world is so big, there is no place for you.
So you live alone and spend the long years alone.
As a monster for a hundred years, although you have no love for monsters, you have no hatred. But for human beings, you have always been apologetic. So when someone asks you for help, although you don't want to contact the outside world, you still reach out to help her. But then she betrayed you, and the mobs lifted you up high. If you were a human, you would definitely die.
So you no longer have contact with humans, and the world is cold and gloomy, like demons and humans.
You have vowed not to drink a drop of human blood again, but you can't stand the temptation. You see a dying person, you know that he has no way of life, you smell the fragrance of human blood, the fragrance you have not tasted for many years. You can't stand the temptation, you drink his blood, the aroma of human blood turns into the smell of blood of your relatives in your mouth, and the corpse of the stranger turns into a sister's empty accusing eyes.
So you punish yourself crazily. You are worth a million. You treat yourself as penniless. You can find a place to live anywhere. You sleep on the street. You are a hundred times stronger than human beings. You are bullied and humiliated. There are also bags of blood to choose from-you feed on rats.
Twenty years.
Until one day, a weird messenger who called himself Whistler told you that you had a mission and were chosen by God to help this generation of saints. You see the girl in the sun, with angel-like blond hair and an angel-like smile.
———— (I am the dividing line to calm my mood)————
So, when Angel first saw Buffy in the sun, he was at the lowest point in his life. He has been relying on rat blood in the alleys for 20 years. For Angelus, who was once arrogant and powerful, this is extreme self-torture. Going back to the street and living on the street eating mice for twenty years, if you can resist not holding your head and screaming, admire him at the top), at this moment, he is on the verge of collapse. In his eyes, Buffy is the embodiment of purity, the manifestation of all beautiful things.
If I remember correctly, in "Love is Compromise," Jack Nicholson said, "For you, I want to be a better person." For Buffy, Angel decided to become a better person.
However, Angel hadn't been completely dazzled by love. At first, he hadn't expected Buffy to love him. Buffy responded to his feelings. He also denied it with reasons such as "for your good" and "not worthy of you", but Buffy, especially the second season of Buffy, is hard to resist. So they fell in love, and he was able to embrace the pure and beautiful saint in his heart, but in an instant, he lost his humanity together.
Angelus, reproduced in the second season, is crazy. At the beginning, I couldn't see it clearly, but when I decided to release Acathla to destroy the world, it was really difficult for people to have confidence in his sanity. As a combination of humans and demons, vampires are more advanced than humans, but they are still inferior in the eyes of demons. The release of Acathla turns the world into a hell where monsters run rampant, which is equivalent to a king who has ruled well in his own country and suddenly decides to claim his vassal to another country to be ruled by the king of that country. The most important thing is that the food of vampires is human blood. Although animal blood can be used as a temporary substitute, it cannot completely replace human blood after all. If mankind perishes, what would you eat Angelus?
But why would Angelus do such a dizzy thing? This involves another question. Angel loves Buffy right, does Angelus love Buffy?
Someone probably laughed, would Angelus love Buffy? Hatred is right? But I think Angelus also loves Buffy, in his own way.
——Just go and see Drusilla.
Does Angelus love Dru? It should be love. Of course, don’t expect him to give everything to his lover like Spike. Angelus is not Angel. He is one of the most evil vampires ever. He doesn’t believe that he will love or accept that he will love. It's like Spike emphasizes that he is a big badass when he is okay. Therefore, his love is more manifested in hurt, torture-or, not letting go.
Look at what he did to Dru, driving people crazy, it's easy to say, how simple it is. And the crazy Dru is in a lot of trouble. He has been with him for a hundred years, one has not been driven away, the other has not been killed, and even specially invited the little nanny back (Spike is sorry), which is much better than Penn's treatment.
Let's take a look at Angelus to Buffy, hurting, torturing, and not letting go. There are a lot of them. If you want to kill Buffy, Angelus has a chance, but not only Buffy is not dead, Willow, Xander, Giles, Joyce, none of them are dead. Only Giles' girlfriend was dead, because she knew how to curse Angelus again and threaten him.
Wouldn't it be a better and less dangerous way to simply torture Buffy, kill her family and friends, or transform them into vampires, and let Buffy's family and friends kill her?
Angelus is not Spike. He will not challenge slayer. He and Darla usually leave quietly when he finds traces of slayer, and kill him elsewhere. He will not seek death on his own. He was so cautious, he wouldn't know how threatening it was to keep Buffy. So why?
In the second episode of the ghosts of the female teacher and the male student (if you remember it wrong), why do you want Buffy and Angelus to play the leading roles?
Because, still love him/her.
Shouldn't love, but can't get rid of it. The more I want to withdraw, the deeper I love. The more you love, the more you hate—why let me love you? And the more you love each other, the more you hate yourself-why are you so unbelievable?
Angelus, can't kill Buffy.
Can't kill her, and can't help but love. Some people will choose to commit suicide and escape with death, but Angelus chooses to destroy the world.
——Anyway, it's all death, and death will bring the whole world back to me.
As an audience, this, this is really impressive...
But his plan fell short, because Buffy, who was determined because of Jenny's death, and Spike, who loves the world, joined forces to stop him. Send him to hell.
This is five hundred years. When he came back, he had been tortured so much that he didn't even recognize Buffy.
There is an article called Repossession, which I say here is not recommended for everyone to read, because first, the article is paired with Spike/Xander and has a large number of NC17 plots and SM plots. Second, the HTM file of the article is 15.9MB in total. It takes a week for a madman like me to read it again...
What I mean by mentioning this article is that we often see the protagonist in a certain article being arrested and tortured by bad guys, and then another protagonist comes to rescue and knock the bad guys over. One foot on the ground, and then the rescuer throws it into the rescuer’s arms, the star’s eyes are squeezed with tears, the rescuer will be hugged by a princess of the rescuer, and the two return to their love hut and live a happy life ever since .
--Really?
The wife of a colleague of my mother was robbed in the unit door and stabbed in the abdomen. After that, she dared not go out alone for a whole year, and could not let go of her husband's hand even when she went to the street. This "only" was stabbed, what if it was cruelly tortured? What if this torture lasts for five hundred years?
In American film and television dramas, characters who have been kidnapped generally need to rely on psychologists for a long time, and this "long time" does not refer to one or two months, but one or two years, or even eleven or two years.
This article on Repossession is that Spike, who has experienced cruel torture, seems to be restored to what it was before, but the author declared with 15.9MB that he did not, and will never truly return to the past. It is difficult to collect water.
I don't know what the TV series are considering, and there is no mention of this aspect. In my opinion, even if Angel is no stranger to pain and torture as a vampire, the impact of these five hundred years on him is really too light.
The situation in the TV series, if you remove the time that his instinct dominates, it is as if he has not experienced the five hundred years of hell.
...As an audience, I can only admire Angel's forbearance-or selective forgetting of kungfu?
However, even if anyone can ignore these five hundred years, Angel can never ignore it.
Angel is the warrior of Power that Be, the "chosen one" and special. PTB personally took action to rescue him from hell. This behavior itself can be called a "miracle."
But from another point of view, we found that PTB has the ability to save him, so why didn't he rescue him when he just fell into hell?
Is it impossible or unwilling?
If the answer is the latter, then, in other words, PTB, left Angel, the soulful Angel, not Angelus, in hell for five hundred years.
Is this salvation or punishment?
I don't know, nor does Angel.
So in the face of The First's challenge, he gave up. He hasn't given up in the past 100 years. He hasn't given up even after hiding in the alley and eating mice. Now he has given up.
There is nothing worth staying for. Whistler’s promise was pale and weak in front of five hundred years of hell. His family either left him or was killed by his own hands. Once friends looked at him with fear and hatred, and every time they stared into the eyes of their lover, they could see The injury left by my own hands.
So on the day of Jesus' birth, he sat on the top of the mountain and waited for his last sunrise.
God loves the world, not vampires.
But after all, it was a day of miracles, a day of love, so it snowed heavily in Sunnydale, where "It never rains in Southern California," and the world was painted white, as if all sins were forgiven.
So Angel tried to compensate and start again. But in the end, he left.
From Buffy's point of view, Angel said "this is for your good" and left, becoming the second man to leave her after his father; from Spike's point of view, oh oh oh Peaches is getting timid again; but from Angel's What's the point of view?
Already, can't stay with her anymore.
Can't be together, no matter from which point of view. Joyce asked him to leave her daughter. Giles's girlfriend was killed by him. Willow was scared to death by him. How did Xander treat him?
And Buffy, Buffy.
He was sent to hell by Buffy himself, for five hundred years. Even if it doesn't exist in the TV series, can Angel really not mind?
Angel wants to make atonement for the sins he has committed, but he has never been aware of "crimes in person". For example, thinking of Jenny, Angel would feel sorry, but he would also think, "This is not what I did, it was Angelus."
Without this knowledge, he has to be punished for "what Angelus did." That is not 10 years in prison, it is 500 years of hell.
Angel, don't you mind?
The soul had just possessed the body, and when he didn't know the situation, he closed his eyes believing Buffy's words, in exchange for a sword in the chest, and 500 years of torture.
Can you believe it anymore?
It's just that, throughout the third season, they are evading and pretending to be okay. In fact, Buffy could not forget the torture of Angelus and Jenny's death, and Angel could not forget the sword and the five hundred years of hell. They are pretending that Buffy pretends that she can forgive Angel, and Angel pretends that he believes that he deserves this reward. They are all pretending that they can forget everything and go back to the past. In fact, they have not abandoned the courage, will, and courage to be together. And ability. Throughout the third season, this dead relationship is just lingering.
If you have experienced it, you will understand (preferably if you don't), sometimes love alone is not enough.
So Angel leaving is the best choice for both of them. They can finally turn over that horrible page in their lives and start a new life.
It will be painful, that is certain, but short-term pain is better than long-term pain.
————(I am the dividing line for the change of episodes)————
Coming to LA is the beginning of Angel’s acceptance of the facts. Before that, as a human Liam, he was giving up on himself; as Angelus, he was indulging; after being cursed, he was escaping from reality; after seeing Buffy, he was still escaping, he was escaping in Buffy and their love.
If, like Doctor Who, one keyword is used for each season of Angel, then the keyword for the first season is Shanshu.
Shanshu is the goal of Angel's struggle, and he finally found the value of his own existence. Prior to this, his mission was to "help Buffy", which might sound good, but is it sad to put his own value on others?
The first is Doyle. He gave Angel hope to demonstrate for him what a hero is (see, man, God hasn't abandoned you yet). Then it was Cordy, she cheered Angel up and didn't give him a chance to indulge in memories (it's time to pay water, electricity and gas, Angel! How much do you plan to give me this month's salary?). Finally, it was Wesley. He raised his head from the pile of old papers and told Angel that one day you will be Shanshu, you will become a human being, and all the sins you have committed can be forgiven.
Hope is the last comfort hidden in Pandora's box.
The keyword for Angel's second season is Darla.
Angel loves Darla, which may be unacceptable, but think about Spike and Dru.
Angel killed Darla. At the time, Darla was an evil vampire. If she didn’t kill her, she would kill Buffy. Angel acted in a hurry. If she had a choice, she believed that Angel would let her escape, and it was because she had killed her. It's even harder for the opponent to start the second time.
So you tell me what Angel was thinking when he saw the human Darla asking him for help.
This time, it won't let you die.
For Darla, he went to the test, which was the real way to go up and down the fire. He rushed past the sword and the fire, and Darla's life was saved-another moment, lost.
As the old saying goes, if you have had this kind of experience (preferably if you don't), you will know that if you have never hoped, that's it. The cruelest thing is to give you hope and then ruthlessly shatter that hope.
So even though he did not become Angelus, Angel still had a short period of madness—not literally. He gave a group of W&H lawyers to Darla and Dru as snacks, fired all his friends, and slept with Darla.
What is Angel most afraid of? Just experienced the second season of Buffy, I think what he fears most is to become Angelus again, personally hurt or even kill his friends.
But he slept with Darla, knowing what happened the last time he slept with someone.
Becoming Angelus, besides what he fears most, is what he expects from the bottom of his heart, right? Angel's life is an endless process of atonement, full of pain and regret. Angelus will not suffer and regret, he will only be angry and hate, and then make others pain and regret.
And Angelus can and is good at enjoying life, life as a vampire. If you become Angelus, can you get rid of all this crazy?
So he wanted to get rid of the painful soul from Darla, but he didn't get perfect happiness, what he got was perfect despair.
-Is this the difference between love and innocence?
To make a digression, about sex, the screenwriters of Buffy and Angel series have the style of children's inspirational drama in our country. You see, whether it is Buffy and Angel, Buffy and Spike, or Xander and Faith, as long as you are in bed, It must be nothing good~~ Isn't this warning young people? (Blast) In the
end, Angel set fire to Darla and Dru. Dru was hit hard and went to Sunnydale to find Spike. Darla was not hit so badly, but this thing made her understand that Angel is serious-I can't kill you, but you Got to leave my sight. So Darla left, probably intending to spend a few decades, when the time has passed, Angel also calmed down, let's see if he has changed his mind?
There is an article I like very much. The pairing is Angel/Spike. In it, Spike asks Angel to drink, and both of them are a little drunk:
Spike: "Speak, want me to stay."
Angel: "No."
Spike "How long will it take (you want me to stay)?"
Angel: "About sixty or seventy years."
Spike: "...well, I'll be back in sixty or seventy years."
They are vampires, They have the world's time. They are not in a hurry. We said, "Calm down first, and I will come back in a few days", they said: "Calm down first, and I will come back in a few decades."
The key word of Angel's third season is Connor.
If you ask me who Angel loves the most, I will answer. If it is not limited to love, it must be Connor.
I don't know if any of you who are reading this article are parents. If you do, you should understand.
——No, it should be said, I will understand the tenth.
The only thing Darla left, the child of miracle, only one chance, God's gift, redemption. It is not too much to describe the importance of Connor to Angel.
But Angel lost Connor, because of Wolfram and Hart, because of Wesley.
Yes, Connor is back, raised by his enemies, and growing up in the hell space. He only hates and hates Angel.
If you look at more English colleagues, you will find that they value children and the time spent with them. In a doujin, the author said by Spike: "If there is a monster that makes me miss the opportunity to watch my child's football game, I will make it regret that he has lived. Because his 12-year-old school team has only one game and missed it. It won’t come again.” And Angel, how long have you missed it?
A moment ago, the baby in his arms gave him a toothless smile, and the next moment, a young man who had already begun to vicissitudes, looked at him with cockroach eyes. So Angel can't forgive Wesley, I'm not surprised at all. The question is not whether Wes’ behavior was well-intentioned, the question is that it was Angel’s own son who was lost—if it was someone else’s son, I believe the situation would be completely different.
Connor hated him, the hatred was a little bit instilled by Holtz. I don't comment on Holtz. It was Angelus and Darla who killed his family, leaving him only for his daughter who was turned into a vampire and forced him to kill himself. From his perspective (from the perspective of people who lived two hundred years ago), the blood debt is paid off, and the father's debt is repaid, and nothing can be done too much. And in his case, he didn't go too far-Angelus resurrected Acthala in the second season of Buffy, at least Holtz hadn't thought about destroying the world.
Holtz didn't want to destroy the world, he just wanted to destroy Angel's world. He set up a situation to convince Connor that Angel killed him, not only ruined Connor's budding trust in Angel, but also allowed Angel to spend several months under the sea.
That period of time under the sea must be extremely terrifying, and this needless to say. This period also changed Angel's attitude towards Connor. Before that, Angel had tolerated Connor in every possible way, because he thought that the reason Connor grew up in hell was because of him-if Angelus hadn't touched Holtz, Connor would have a normal childhood. His tolerance for Connor was almost doting, which was not healthy from an educational point of view. Connor grew up in hell and didn't adapt to real life. This kind of tolerance would only make him unable to adapt. The years under the sea made Angel see this clearly. If he continues to indulge Connor, one day he will do something worse.
After seeing this clearly, the relationship between Angel and Connor should start to develop in a good direction, but the problem is that Angel's fourth season begins.
The key word of Angel's fourth season is Cordy.
For Angel, his favorite and best suited to him should be Cordy, Cordy after Angel's third season.
Angel is not a good lover. Like Buffy, he has a strong desire to control. When two people get along, one cannot only retreat step by step, and both must make sacrifices. This is what Angel lacks. He changed himself for Buffy back then, but he was too desperate and changed too much for long. And Cordy, the queen of Sunnydale High School, has this ability, this wisdom, and this will, so Angel is changed unknowingly.
In the fourth season, Cordy lost his memory, and was possessed by Jasmine, and then—God, slept with Connor and became pregnant with Connor's child. This was worse than the time that Buffy became Angelus, and Connor was also driven to the edge of madness by this series of events.
So Angel made a deal with the devil.
The theme of Angel's fifth season is Wolfram and Hart, although I would like to say that it is Spike.
In the fifth season, Cordy is dead, Fred is dead, Illyria is resurrected, Wes is dead, Gunn is tortured by guilt.
What went wrong?
In my opinion, although Angel's entry into W&H cannot be said to be correct, at least it is not wrong, because at the time, trading with W&H may be the only way out. The trade with W&H exchanged time for them. Time can heal all injuries and heal all pain. As time goes by, all unbearable emotions will fade, from a bloody wound to a scar.
Angel’s fault, or everyone’s fault, was not leaving in time, thinking that he could change W&H.
It's still a personal point of view. In Buffy and Angel dramas, Watcher's Council represents justice that is rigid and has actually become evil, and Wolfram & Hart represents the evil in this world, or the evil in human nature.
To change W&H is tantamount to changing or destroying the evil in human nature, and you cannot do this except for destroying "man" itself.
Angel, who has just experienced the Jasmine incident, should understand.
Maybe, just maybe, if they had decades of time, they could change W&H, but they didn't. So they failed to change W&H, W&H changed them.
Finally, Angel challenged The Black Thorn, leaving a question mark at the end of the episode.
Some fan authors believe that Angel’s move is so stupid that they will lose and they will hurt others-ranging from destroying LA to destroying the world. Some authors asked Buffy to lead an army of slayers to help out, and they won after hard work.
Some authors kill Gunn, some authors kill Illyria, some authors kill Spike, and some authors kill Angel.
What is the ending in your heart?
————What is Shanshu? ————
The drama says that after a vampire with a soul saves the world, he will live as a human being.
This is only a rough translation, it seems that this prophecy can be translated into many versions.
Some fan authors think that Shanshu is Angel, some authors think it is Spike, and some authors think that Shanshu has no limit on the number of people.
Some authors make them Shanshu completely ordinary people, and some authors make them humans with vampire powers.
Some authors let them become people directly, some authors let them be reborn after death; some authors let them keep all memories, and some authors let them lose all memories.
I personally prefer that the two of them retain all memories and directly become humans with vampire power.
Because other options are not very attractive to me. Losing the memory is too confusing, and rebirth is always a bit sad. If you keep your memory and become an ordinary person, Spike will be fine. Angel doesn't seem to be able to abandon everything in the past and start a happy new life.
And let me ask you a question. After watching the 12 seasons of Buffy and Angel, what's the scariest thing?
I don't know your answer, my answer is life. Day after day, it is a daily life that needs to be fully energized to cope with it.
Isn't life good? Yes, la vie en rose. But that is not every moment.
For example, in a winter afternoon, curling up in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows with a cup of hot chocolate reading your favorite novel while basking in the sun. What a wonderful life. But you have to go to work the next day, and you may not be able to wait for the next day. At night, your house’s sewers will be blocked, or a urchin from nowhere will smash the balcony glass.
In the sixth season, Buffy was forced to die. It was not The Master, Angelus, Glory, or The First. It was an ordinary, ordinary, day-to-day life.
It's life, turning the prince into a bald king and the princess into a black-hearted stepmother.
It's also life, turning us from the ideal teenagers and girls in the eyes of stars into ordinary men and women who care about survival.
Qin, chess, books, swords, poems, hops, everything did not leave it back then, now there are seven things to open, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar tea.
If this ordinary life can be spent with the one you love, it is also very good, but if no one will accompany you through this ordinary life, then this shanshu is not a blessing, but a curse.
Angel's fifth season, Buffy dances with The Immortal in Rome. Darla is dead and Cordy is dead. Is it possible to rely on Nina?
Angel, Angel, the long journey of life, who will accompany you through it?
————Who does Angel love? ————In the
play, Angel loved Buffy, Darla, Cordy, and Nina.
I personally think that the love between Angel and Buffy is based on the fact that two people do not know each other.
Angel, whom Buffy loves, is her 16-year-old vision of the adult world. It is an unknown mystery and excitement, and it is also love itself. Angel loves Buffy, a pure girl, God’s mercy and forgiveness, and an object that needs his guidance and protection.
What they love is only the image of each other in their hearts, not the true counterpart. This can be seen from the reason Angel left Buffy.
The reason Angel wants to leave Buffy, in addition to the reasons mentioned above, according to him, is also because he can't give Buffy an ordinary life. Of course he was stimulated by Joyce, but this reason is really making people laugh three times. Because if this reason is Angel’s true heart, then Angel has not really seen Buffy clearly. When he first saw Buffy, he saw a pure girl, in his eyes Buffy has always been a pure girl. Buffy is not, she is a slayer. There are many pure girls in the world, and there is only one slayer, and if the prerequisite for slayer is pure, what's the matter with Faith?
To paraphrase a sentence from a fanboy I have read, "Whose heroine of ordinary life would get up at two o'clock in the middle of the night and go to the graveyard to poke vampires with a stake?"
It is obvious that the Angel's kind...
The Darla that Angel loves is Darla in Angel's play, not Darla in the first season of Buffy.
Darla in the first season of Buffy is a heartless vampire, but Darla in Angel's play is not. In the second season of Angel, what the screenwriter wanted to convey seemed to be such a thought: "Nothing is absolutely evil or absolutely righteous. All living things have people or things they care about, and there are people or things they don't care about. The problem is this. The world is divided into which category." For
example, Glory wants to go home, the world that traps her can go to death; Warren wants to be respected by Katrina and others, everyone can die after Katrina is dead; Buffy can use life to protect Her family, friends, and this world, all monsters can die; Darla can’t let go of The Master who created her and Angelus that she created, and has a certain degree of care for Spike and Dru. Besides, all monsters can die. .
Darla is not the leader, as can be seen from her ceding the dominance to Angelus. She prefers and is good at obscure temptations and influences rather than direct commands and changes. Even so, after being killed and resurrected by Angel, she can recreate a childe instead of spending time and energy on Angel. But she didn't, she just wanted Angelus, and tried all means to change Angel back to Angelus.
And Angel was also tortured by the fact that he couldn't save Darla at the moment.
There are inexhaustible ties and hundreds of years of history between them. They need each other but cannot change each other. Two people with different values like a bird and a fish cannot be together. But imagine how Angelus and Darla were the demon couples that fit together.
Regarding Cordy, I can't analyze it like other characters, and I don't know if I don't know enough about her or what other reasons.
And Nina, let me say a few names: Riley, Kennedy, Harmony.
……Need to say anything else?
————About the background music of this article————
Every time I hear this song, there will be such a picture in my mind: In the unlit room, Angel is sitting in the dark, reminiscing, reminiscing.
This night, the rain was falling, and
the room was very dense and stuffy. There was a glimmer of light, raindrops in front of the window, evading
the diary from the bottom of my heart, mixed paragraphs, breath, and
memories that sounded on the wall before and after, accumulating in the ears, and powerlessness
kept crawling in. I knew it was a disaster. I
thought I could avoid it. This accident was unexpected. It
was God’s will.
When it was time to go, I felt that the drenched
cold behind my back has begun to spread, and my eyebrows flowed up, flooding my mind and
memory. Come in, everything becomes clear
. The love that I once had, needs to exist more than I, and needs to exist more than I.
deserve it, don’t wander, love is love, just a disaster
deep as the sea, as deep as the sea, as
deep as the sea, Like the sea, like the sea
In fact, when I first saw Buffy colleagues, I hated Angel. Because I like Spike, and in Spike's life, Angel is simply the dark cloud covering it. The girl I like likes Angel, another girl I like like Angel, her companions hate him because of Angel, and another group of companions hate him because of Angel. Even if they try to get a soul, they are accused of plagiarizing cats. And the girl I liked last kissed Angel... As a Spike fan, it's unreasonable not to hate Angel. Even now, my favorite is Spike. I can read Angel-bashing's text without blinking, and I can't read a paragraph of Spike-bashing's text.
But gradually, I began to feel that Angel was not that annoying, and he was just another person in a sea of suffering.
He struggled, he struggled, a big wave hit him to the top, he struggled out of the water, and another wave came, and he desperately moved upstream. The muscle aches all over his body screamed, and he told himself to ignore the pain and continue to hit the water. Destiny plays tricks, teasing, teasing, and capricious, he perseveres inch by inch.
He did not give up, did not allow himself to sink to the bottom of the sea, he said "I want to live".
In reality, we call such people "heroes."
