*continues to cuddle various versions Wes just because she can*
>_> Sorry. Didn't mean to make you worry. I mean there is a LOT that happens over the course of the show, to all of the characters, so it's a bit misleading for me to rant about all the stuff that happens to Wes. A lot of that stuff effects everyone on the show in various ways, not just him, but it's really his story that touches me the most. Sure, it's probably because he's my favorite, but I really think he became my favorite character on his own merits and because his storyline is so moving. Like... season 1 Wes is so endearingly clumsy and adorkable that you can't help but love him! [You know what I mean!] I just... never stopped loving him, even when half of he fans seemed to. I've always been able to see adorkable Wesley inside of badass Wes, or even asshole Wes or weird 5th season Wes. His character is so complex and intriguing that I can't hate him. [A lot of this is Alexis Denisoff's amazing acting, on top of the great writing.] IDK, I just find him to be a really sympathetic character, and the mysteries about his character will always bug me. Like. what was his relationship with his father really like? Are the hints in the show just the tip of the iceberg or the worst of the worst? A lot of that... and I just realized I've been ranting, sorry. >_>
Yeah, Angel is a lot better and multi-dimensional in his own show. He was sort of the cardboard cut-out love interest on Buffy and I'm glad he got his own show so that the really interesting aspects of his character could shine thru. He can be annoying at times, but he's still very complex and interesting, so I can handle it. Of all of the characters Angel changes the least [in my opinion], but that makes sense when you think about it. He's immortal. He's not going to go thru amazing personal development at the speed of humans. Once he starts living in the normal world more -instead of hiding in the shadows- he grows a lot more, due to exposure to people who ARE growing and changing... uh and I better stop before I REALLY get off on a tangent.
