I'm going to take a wait and see on this one because Whedon usually surpasses expectations. But I agree with your wife's argument. Buffy's by line was basically "We save the world then we party" In the first season everyone even the main villain commented on her dress. There was a message that she's tiny and she looks like the stereotypical cheerleader, but don't get past that at your peril.


SMG was perfect for that role, and as she grew in the role and stretched out her acting ability she became a really complex character who wasn't just a killer, but a person.


I just think she's going to be the apex competitor for any character that shares her name.


Frankly after Buffy and Angel were finished there was a rumor of a Faith based series, and also a series called Ripper, which was about Giles prior to becoming a watcher. There was also a rumor of a series around Wesley, which could have been really funny before Wesley became a amazing character on his own.
