The tough men question

[sombrefan]

Enough of this namby pamby should Buffy end up with Spike or Angel bollocks. We want manly talk in this fandom No one likes reading about "relationships" and "characters feelings for each other", "plot arcs" or "character development". Plz. All people want to know is who would beat who in a fight. Cause really that's pure awesome and manly.

So I asked "Who would win in a fight, Spike or Malcolm Reynolds?"

I see. Question: do the astronauts have weapons?

[simonf.livejournal.com]

Just their wits and charm.

[angearia.livejournal.com]

Caveman wins.

Can there be oil?

[simonf.livejournal.com]

Only if it's manly oil.

[menomegirl.livejournal.com]

There needs to be fic of that.

O_o

Ask the hard questions, why don't you?

[moscow-watcher.livejournal.com]

I think they'll end up drinking together. :)

[wondersheep.livejournal.com]

And Spike would win the drinking contest.

[moscow-watcher.livejournal.com]

Or maybe they'll exhaust all the alcohol in the galaxy.

[wondersheep.livejournal.com]

Hm. Also a possibility.

[wondersheep.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure I want to be virile and masculine today. Or, you know, EVER.

But Spike would win.

[eilowyn.livejournal.com]

They would become best friends after Angel is revealed as an agent of the Alliance and pwned by them both, and Wash would come back to life and Jayne would have a new funny hat and they'd all go out drinking together. *Goes back to playing with her My Little Ponies*

Joss did seriously contemplate a Spike cameo in Firefly. The following is from a Serenity interview circa 2005.


Could Serenity take place in the same universe as Buffy but the monsters were taken care of long ago?

I think you could make an argument for it, but I wouldn’t. The only thing we ever thought of doing is having a drunken and very miserable Spike at a bar just sitting there going, ‘Nothing changes. Trust me, nothing changes.’ That would’ve been in our decadent era. That would have been like season six. But no, I have to think about them as totally separate because they have different sensibilities and they have different sets of rules. It’s very important that Serenity be grounded. I had to go into outer space to come back down to earth but Buffy was a fantasy, a metaphor for rites of passage of our lives and Serenity is something else.

Spike. Because, vampire.

And he's hotter.
