Buffy the Vampire Slayer is an American supernatural drama television series based on the 1992 film of the same name. It was created by Joss Whedon under his production tag, Mutant Enemy Productions, with later co-executive producers being Jane Espenson, David Fury, David Greenwalt, Doug Petrie, Marti Noxon, and David Solomon.
The series premiered on March 10, 1997, on The WB and concluded on May 20, 2003, on UPN. The series narrative follows Buffy Summers (played by Sarah Michelle Gellar), the latest in a line of young women known as “Vampire Slayers”, or simply “Slayers“. In the story, Slayers, or the “Chosen Ones”, are chosen by fate to battle against vampires, demons, and other forces of darkness. Buffy wants to live a normal life, but as the series progresses, she learns to embrace her destiny. Like previous Slayers, Buffy is aided by a Watcher, who guides, teaches, and trains her. Unlike her predecessors, Buffy surrounds herself with a circle of loyal friends who become known as the “Scooby Gang”.
The series received critical and popular acclaim and usually reached between four and six million viewers on original airings.[12][13] Although such ratings are lower than successful shows on the “big four” networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox),[14] they were a success for the relatively new and smaller WB Television Network.[15]
Despite the fact that Buffy the Vampire Slayer was almost entirely ignored by major award shows during its run, the series was nominated for the American Film Institute Award for Drama Series of the Year, Gellar was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Television Series Drama for her performance in the show, and the series was nominated five times for Television Critics Association Awards, winning once in 2003 for the Television Critics Association Heritage Award.[16][17][18]
The success of Buffy has led to hundreds of tie-in products, including novels, comics, and video games. The series has received attention in fandom (including fan films), parody, and academia, and has influenced the direction of other television series.[4][19] The series, as well as its spinoff series Angel, and extensions thereof, have been collectively termed the “Buffyverse“. As of 2018, a spin-off “sequel” of the series was being developed for television, with Monica Owusu-Breen as showrunner.[20]

Spike, played by James Marsters, is a fictional character created by Joss Whedon for the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. Spike is a vampire and played various roles on the shows, including villain, anti-hero, trickster and romantic interest. For Marsters, the role as Spike began a career in science fiction television, becoming “the obvious go-to guy for US cult [television].”[1] For creator Whedon, Spike is the “most fully developed” of his characters.[2] The character was intended to be a brief villain, with Whedon originally adamant to not have another major “romantic vampire” character like Angel. Marsters says “Spike was supposed to be dirty and evil, punk rock, and then dead.” However, the character ended up staying for the second season, and then returning in the fourth to replace Cordelia as “the character who told Buffy she was stupid and about to die.”[3]
Within the series’ narrative, William was an unsuccessful aspiring poet in the Victorian era who was mocked and called “William the Bloody” because of his “bloody awful” poetry. Sired by the vampire Drusilla (Juliet Landau), William became an unusually passionate and romantic vampire, being very violent and ready to battle, but not as cruel as his companions. Alongside Drusilla, Darla (Julie Benz) and Angelus (David Boreanaz), Giles thinks William acquired the nickname Spike for his preferred method of torturing people with railroad spikes, but it is revealed it is because his poetry was “so bad you could stick a railroad spike through your head.” He was noted for killing two vampire Slayers; one in China at the end of the 1800s during the Boxer Rebellion, the other was Nicki Wood in 1977 New York, where Spike acquired his trademark leather duster. During the second season of the series, Spike comes to Sunnydale hoping to kill a third Slayer, Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar), with whom he later forges an uneasy alliance. Over the course of Buffy, Spike falls in love with the Slayer, reacquires his soul to prove himself to Buffy and dies a hero in the show’s series finale. He is subsequently resurrected in the first episode of the fifth season of the spin-off series Angel.
Considered a ‘breakout character‘, Spike proved immensely popular with fans of Buffy.[4] The character appears substantially in Expanded Universe materials such as comic books and tie-in novels. Following the cancellation of Angel in 2004, Whedon considered creating a Spike film spin-off. Canonically, the character appears in issues of the comic books Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight (2007–11), Angel: After the Fall (2007–09), Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Nine, Angel & Faith (both 2011–2013) and several Spike limited series, spinning off from both Buffy and Angel. Currently the character is in the canonical comic Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eleven (2016–2017) and in Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Twelve (2018).

The list
Heroes
Villains
The characters
- The Silence of the Lambs and It’s a Wonderful Life are the only films to place a character in the top ten of both lists. In addition, Batman, and Schindler’s List are the only other films to have characters appear on both lists.
- Four franchises have both a hero and villain listed for separate films: the Alien is from Alien while Ellen Ripley is listed for the sequel, Aliens; Darth Vader is listed for The Empire Strikes Back while Han Solo and Obi-Wan Kenobi are cited for A New Hope; the Terminator is listed as a villain for The Terminator and as a hero for Terminator 2: Judgment Day; and James Bond is listed for Dr. No while Auric Goldfinger of Goldfinger was the only Bond villain cited.
- The Terminator is the only character to be listed as both a villain (The Terminator) and a hero (Terminator 2: Judgment Day). Within the films, these are different but physically identical characters, both played by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
- Four characters from four different Stanley Kubrick films appear: three villains (Alex DeLarge, HAL 9000, and Jack Torrance) and one hero (Spartacus).
- On each list, there appears only a single character of African descent: Virgil Tibbs as a hero for In the Heat of the Night and Alonzo Harris as a villain for Training Day.
- Only eight human heroines and fifteen villainesses are listed. The heroine Lassie is female, though she was portrayed by a male dog in all television shows and movies featuring the character.
- Twelve-year-old Regan MacNeil from The Exorcist is the youngest human character on the list. However, the evil dæmon that possessed her throughout the film, Pazuzu, is implied to be centuries, if not millennia, old.
- Lassie, the Terminator, and Superman are the only non-human heroes. The shark from Jaws, the Terminator, HAL 9000, the Martians, and the Alien are the only non-human villains.
- In Bambi, “Man” specifically refers to the man who killed Bambi‘s mother. He is also the only character on either list not to appear on screen in any way.
- Only three characters from animated films appear, all as villains: Queen Grimhilde, “Man”, and Cruella de Vil. All are in Walt Disney Animation Studios films.
