MOVIE: Battle of the Champions (Premiere: Feb 3th)

[boywonder]

Sorry to sound like a broken record and repeat myself but in the Game each Light Champion definitely took out the appropriate Dark Champion. Even Spike taking out Adam seemed appropriate for some mysterious reason. But all the other villains- I'm glad Emcee choose those villains, along with Adam. And I'm glad Harmony was the only "non-Game" person to bite the dust (no pun intended). I think she got her just desserts!

Question:
What ever happened to Robin Wood, the son of a Slayer who was interested in Faith? His fate was never really mentioned in Battle of the Champions.

[Emcee]

Robin Wood runs the Slayer School in Cleveland.

Just finished reading, and wow, that was amazing. Your characterization was brilliant, as always. I enjoyed seeing all the different characters interact, especially Wesley and Illyria - I thought your wote that very well. Can't wait to catch up on the series and see what I've missed!

[amakiir]

um.. just wonder where is this The immortal guy from? this is only the second time i've heard of him and the other time was in a Fanfic on a The kitten board.

[Emcee]

The Immortal is from the Angel episode "The Girl in Question". While he's never actually seen (except from behind), he's talked about often. He is an old rival of Spike and Angel(us). He had them kidnapped and tortured so he could seduce Darla and Drusilla, back in the day. In the present, he has become the boyfriend of Buffy.

Is this for real???Sorry im new here, and when did this came about and when is out?

[Emcee]

It's a virtual movie. It's fanfic, presented like it were an actual movie.

It has been very well. It threatening that was looking like Buffy with the Scythe when he was speaking with Angel after having found out about Connor's existence!. The only complaint is that an adversary as Marcus Hamilton was deserving a worthier death. I like that Buffy will kill it, but an epic duel had been well earlier between Hamilton and the protagonists.

I may perhaps be late in reviewing this ;D But I came late to this, I only just discovered this nifty little series.

This was really cool. I especially liked Illyria vs. Glory, and the way Buffy killed Hamilton was HIGHlarious. I also liked the way Connor killed the Beast, and that Gunn got to be among those to see it. It really showcased how much Connor has changed, fighting smarter and such. I like to think that any venom Gunn might have had when referring to Connor as "The Punk" might have drained somewhat after seeing him here.

That's another thing in regards to both this movie, and the whole series. It's something that's impressed me about Joss' writing. Goodguys not getting along, not really even particularly liking each other, but still managing to work together for the common good. Connor and Salome clearly don't get along to well with Slayers, and vice versa, though it looks like Buffy and Connor could get along okay.

There's lots of scenes between people that I would love to see, or see more of, but the main one, Connor and Buffy one on one you got, and that was awesome.

Other fights that would have been fun: Connor vs. Caleb, or Glory, Illyria Vs. The Beast, or Caleb, or Adam.

And on a final note, has anyone else noticed that Salome bears a striking resemblance to another Marvel comics character? Who can teleport, and go to different dimensions? And who is purple? I think Andrew should make at least one joke in there somewhere.

[Emcee]

Are you talking about Blink? Funnily enough, I had not been thinking of blink AT ALL when I came up with Salome. Rather, I was thinking about Nightcrawler. Originally, Salome was to be blue, but I decided the similarity was too striking and changed it to purple... Before realizing Marvel had another teleporter who WAS purple! Ack!

Anyway, Andrew SHOULD make a Blink comment at some point. Haven't figure out a way to work it in.
