Hey 
I've been watching some Btvs and Ats episodes lately and it got me thinking about our evil characters. We all know Joss and Co can write very compelling, charismatic and even at times, loveable, evil characters. So do you ever forget as your watching the show that these characters are actually evil? And are there any scenes or lines in particular that make you realise despite their loveable qualities, how evil they were? Do these lines or scenes shock you, even if really they shouldn't?
I've got a couple;
The Mayor:
Refering to Buffy and the value of her life as that of a dogs;
I did. Rusty. Irish setter. A dog's friendship is stronger than reason, stronger than it's own sense of self-preservation. Buffy's like a dog, and hey, before you can say Jack Robinson, you'll get to see me kill her like one.
Going from chirpy and cavalier to threatening to end Willow's life in a heartbeat. If you actually stop and think about what he's saying here, you realise how horrible he really is;
God, you kids, you know. You don't like to think about the future. You don't like to make plans. Unless you want Faith to gut your friend like a sea bass, show a little respect for your elders.
Spike:
Finding pictures of starving children hilarious;
Living skeletons, mate. Like famine pictures from those dusty countries, only not half as funny.
Grinning at the thought of the vampire Marcus and both his killer and paedophile tendencies towards children;
Marcus is an expert. Some say artist, but I’ve never been comfortable with labels. ‘ He’s a bloody king of torture, he is. Humans, demons, - politicians, makes no difference. (starts to circle Angel) Some say he invented several of the Classics, - but he won’t tell me which ones. - beneath the cool exterior, you’ll find he is rather shy. ‘ Except with kids. (to Marcus) You like kids, don’t you Marcus - Well, likes to eat. (leans in close to Angel) and other nasty things.
Angelus:
This is actually a line from Dru but it really hits home how horribly cruel Angelus was;
Snake in the wood shed, snake in the wood shed!
Drusilla:
Drusilla planning to hunt and murder a young child;
Lets find you (Angelus) a nice toddler to eat
Do you guys have anymore scenes that stick out to you? That are a shock to the system? Here’s basically a place you can list some of the cruellest things our characters have said.
