yeah captain america is actually good not because u take him and go llol wat a jingoistic fuckhead but precisely because he is an perfect version of a certain type of 1940s american masculine ideal - strong, honourable, capable, but also humble because he has memories of being weak and so on - but nonetheless he is totally out of his time. so first u get the shift of things that to him will seem harmless but will seem either funny at best or downright chauvanistic at worse, and the total disconnection between him and this world that has changed in all these truly bizarre ways.
and thats kewl. the more respect the writers have for the character the more interesting he gets, because he is one of the few characters who can be run as a boy scout and nonetheless be interesting; because hes not this years model of boy scout!

Or Best picture winners from the 1970s
Patton - ageneral with anger issues who assaults a shell shocked soldier who keeps losing out because he can't control himself
The French Connection - undercover, brutalizing cops with a twist climax
The Godfather - organized crime as protagonists, corrupting influences of his family
The Sting - con men and betrayal
Godfather Part II - organized crime, corruption etc etc
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - ends with the protagonist lobotomized
Rocky - closest thing to a happy movie, a brain damaged fighter doesn't lose to a champion
Annie Hall - neurotic new yorker can't make his relationships work
Deer Hunter - Vietnam movie that hinges on the war's brutality and suicide
Kramer v Kramer - movie about a vicious divorce

I only brought it up as a point that having the contrast is that it seems to be the only way to make a old school boy scout character work well anymore. Stories have recently taken a lot more dark and grittier avenues to get to the happy endings which I think some people mistake as having non happy endings. Though to me this is great because I hate being able to predict the entirety of the plot and how things will play out ten minutes into the thing. The only real fuck you ending I can remember off the top of my head was fate/zero but that's basically a prequel to setup a plot to a video game?
I actually didn't like much beyond the third season...
buffy is one of those shows where it spawned a spin off better than the original show
Angel was p great
buffy was a solid show but it was a product of the 90's through and through
i don't see how the concept would work today
Angel was WAY better, but it would be weird to bring that show back now. David Boreanaz aed too much.
Buffy the next generation would be good
a show set in the same universe where Buffy has finally failed to avoid the gruesome death awaiting all slayers
we follow a new slayer and a new cast of interesting demon supporting cast
The way the show ended makes that impossible
Buffy was good for like 4 seasons, and then OK into bad before recovering for the very end
i never read the comic books that came after the show
i dont think most people who watched the show did
anything in there that makes a sequel series impossible can p easily be written off or ignored
I agree on the 'fun ride'/'its done'. The last season destroyed any continuity to the character of buffy.
Wait, how? What happened that changed her drastically?
I'm a little foggy, but basically the character's attitude, motivations and power changed between every episode. this leaks into the season before the final too I believe?
So, gigantic spoilers
She dies. They resurrect her a long time later despite the entire series except the end of the first season saying how bad of an idea that is. She gets really pissed off, because she was in heaven. She's actively angry with everyone who did it. She then flip flops every episode the entire last season between being useless, being angry and useless, forming an army and then not giving a shit about them, being gung ho leader, and being a badass. Theres a super vampire, and it kicks her ass. like she had no chance what so ever. So what happens the next episode? she sets up an arena for her 'students' and goes 'check this out', tricks super vampire into showing up, and beats the shit out of it. Theres no indication of how or why it is possible.
Its like they had 4 writers, and they were all put in seperate rooms, and told 'bill, write episode 6, 9 and 11.' and then 'jeremy, write 1,2,7.' and a season got made.
The actual finale wasn't awful, and better than it could have been given how the show was going.

The thing I am actually really impressed with regards to MCU Captain America is how Chris Evans has portrayed him. It's really...Cap has always been the sort of inspirational type of character you see people rally around all the time. He just instills this sense of leadership and honor that people just want to aspire to. Admitedly when they first announced that Evans was going to be Cap I was really worried they were going to have it as the Ultimate version and he was going to be a bit of a dick. Evans has really turned me around though and I think he's really taken that role as his own and made it the perfect on-screen representation of the character with thanks to Joss Whedon and co. of course for their writting. But Evans to me, especially in Cap 2, really brought his A game.
