Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Analysis: Difference between revisions

Inside the title the name of the heroine shows the young side of a young/old juxtaposition. The show has a focus on youth so expect [[Adults Are Useless]]. In an effort to avoid [[Totally Radical]], we had [[Buffy-Speak]]. Really it's still the result of a thirty-five year old trying to write dialogue for teenagers. Other thing to note is the tone of the name, irreverence. That tone appears in Buffy's [[Establishing Character Moment]]. Finally it's the Character in the [[Character Name and Thethe Noun Phrase]] and the hero ''is'' undeniably that character. While we may have a Hero's journey, expect a dark side. If the writers go off the track with the hero then the viewers go off the show. For instance, the seasonal rot in season six is connected to viewers discomfort with Buffy's behaviour.
