L'avis de Nina, sur Buffyforums.net:

Angel is by far my favourite character, although I've to ignore some shaky moments in season 5 (The Girl in Question, not showing the Cordelia love, no follow up on the Connor mindwipe which where all three untrue to his character no matter how jerky he can be at times.). But the most of that I blame on writers so I survive.

But okay, Angel being my favourite.

I can't deal with characters who are getting away with mistakes, helped by writerfiats too many times or who are not bitten in the ass by the concequences of doubtfull choices. It's a big reason why Buffy made a free fall in my favourite character list after season 4/5. (Which doesn't mean that I hate her before I'm accused of that again, she went from place 1/2 to place 5) So no suprise that Angel and Wesley lead my list of favourite characters and are far ahead of number 3 Cordelia.

Angel feels the most real to me, the most human. But at the same time he is a hero, a tragic one but certainly a hero. I love how he can be a hockey loving dork who has no idea what to do with his arms and hands in one scene while being an arrogant warrior the next. He is not the standard hero who saves the day in the end, a story about Angel can end in him being evil, him losing, him winning or some weird in between resolution. He tries to make the right call but at times it goes wrong and he is pretty much screwed. It's what I love in Batman as well, the chance that everything can happen because the character can lose or win.

About the character himself; I think that he came from far and is certinly not there yet. But I love watching him trying to get there and make every season a little baby step towards the holy grail. It's beautiful to see him climb and fall and to see how it makes him stronger very time he stands up again after falling. Angel started out as a character who was lacking personality, not because he didn't had any but because he was hiding himself from the world, hating the true him. And slowly you see the arrogant Liam return, he dares to do things Angelus would've done and he is ready to show himself while living his own life again instead that of people he watches while standing in the dark. In season 5 he is even capable of mocking himself.

No matter how dark and tragic his life can be, his journey is uplifting thanks to the mistakes he is aloud to make and thus aloud to fix.

Do I like Angel as a person? I think he is alright. He is not extremely likable; he can be a terrible friend and icecold at times without feeling bad about it. The guy is not perfect and never will be perfect, and I hope that I can see him fall, be mean and make terrible mistakes until the very end. Perfect and too good to be true Angel won't do it for me.

It was at this moment that I fell in love with Angel and DB. The way his face changed, the music in the background, and his coat billowing behind him all just combined together into something so epic! Ughh!

Thirty Days of Angel: Day 1 &2 - Favorite Female Character/Favorite Male Character: Cordelia Chase and Geraldo Angel

Day 1 - Cordelia has one of the best arcs on either show and the best part is, everything that makes her wonderful and strong and honest and guarded and a hero was always there, waiting to come out. She understands her place in the mission so well and accepts it and makes mistakes and gets scared and hurt but she never stops fighting. She’s unconquerable. Deal with it.

Day 2 - I think what I love most about Angel on Angel is that he never stops being a vampire while also revealing aspects of his personality, good and bad, that are so wonderfully human. That there is so much that he doesn’t know he wants (friends, a family, to feel accepted by said friends and family) or thinks he deserves (a second chance at love, a son, second chances period) but he gets them anyway. And he gets them because he has to fight the good fight and part of that means understanding that, to quote Angel, if nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do. You don’t get that without living in this world and taking chances and getting repeatedly broken, the way Angel does, and getting back up again.

Day 13 - Favourite character arc

Angel

Compare Angel on his own show, to the early seasons of Buffy. What an improvement! The man goes through so much, but still manages to retain that wicked, dry sense of humour. In the beginning I found him to be rather boring, but he became such a badass and one of my favourite characters.

Day 04. Favorite non-human character

Angelus

Not Angel, Angelus. Why? Because he’s a fucking bad ass, that’s why! Not to mention he is extremely entertaining and has some of the best one liners on the show. He doesn’t give a shit about anyone, so he’s unpredictable about who his next victim will be. He’s untamed, and completely honest about everything (need I mention his Cordelia/Conner speech in the basement). He is by far my favorite non-human Whedon character.

I can’t help it, nothing beats Angel for me. More preferably, happy Angel. I really enjoy happy Angel. Not only is he funny, but he’s downright adorable, while still managing to be a complete bad ass.

lol I don’t have the ~*eloquence*~ to write out why I love this guy, but it is surprising because I really didn’t care for him AT ALL during BtVS. But holy shit, this boy’s arc on AtS is lovely and my favorite ever in Buffyverse. And okay, confession…it wasn’t really THAT hard to choose a…

I think if you hang out with us Cordy fans (and C/A fans) you might start to appreciate Cordy more. I wasn’t too gung ho on Angel at first but after being around other C/Aers who love Angel, it totally changed my perspective on him. I looked at him in a whole new light. Now I love them both. :)

And in my experience in this fandom, C/Aers really are one of the best groups out there. They know how to party for sure.

Tonight’s my first night watching Angel.



All this time, I thought I didn’t really like Angel/David Boreanaz. I didn’t find him that interesting to watch, so to be honest, I dreaded reaching S4 of Buffy when I knew I’d start watching both series.

But seeing these episodes…I love Angel. In Buffy, I felt like he came across as too two-dimensional. I only enjoyed him particularly in flashbacks. In Angel, it’s a whole different story.

I love him.



(how many times am i gonna say this in the upcoming months)

It might also be because I just discovered that Cangel is my OTP. I knew I shipped them but I didn’t know to what extent until starting Angel. Preparing for feels.
