the reason buffy summers is a much better protagonist than a lot of the main characters in other teen supernatural shows is that those characters tend to be good people in a passive, boring way. they're generally nice and care about doing good, but they're rarely placed in situations where they have to make difficult decisions with no good outcomes, or pushed to extremes that force them to contend with the ugliest parts of themselves. btvs meanwhile is absolutely obsessed with the idea that passivity is inherently unethical. as such, in order for buffy to be a good person, she constantly has to make active choices. she never gets to be indecisive in the face of a moral dilemma. she always has to choose, to make tough calls, and that makes her genuine heroism and goodness far more compelling than a character who's just kind of passively nice.

LIV HEWSON & LAUREN AMBROSE as VAN PALMER YELLOWJACKETS "Croak"
This scene just confirmed to me what I thought when those character photos came out. Van is ashamed of herself. She feels so fucking guilty about what she did when she was out in the wilderness. She puts up this tough, nonchalant exterior (ex. You can just say, ate eachother) but in truth her actions scared her. It scares her that she is capable of what she did. She avoids eye contact with her younger self because she sees her as cruel. Meanwhile this episode showed us how much of a kid her younger self is. Like the scene with Van trying to call her mom of saying “we’re going home” when they show up, juxtaposed with the way that her adult self sees that time in her life. Oh it’s so excellent. I can’t wait for more.
Also Van girl I’m scared for you😔
