Sunday Rundown 1.21.24

Funny that Navi says it should have been called The Vampire Slayer instead of Buffy tVS... Joss Whedon said around the time that he created Firefly that he had learnt his lesson about naming shows after main characters. (Making cast members indispensable and characters "safe" in the eyes of the audience.) Then came Firefly, Dollhouse, Agents of SHIELD and The Nevers. ;)

The public demands a complete waifu tier list including live action waifus in everything that has ever been reacted to on the channel. Scribes, sages, and discord people in the Normies community.... make this happen. What does the waifu tier list look like with all live action and anime they reacted to?

Original viewer here. I was 12 at the time and under impression it was the series finale and the finale made me cry hard. S5 Finale still takes me back to that feeling though so I think emotional impact is there regardless of finale, for me anyways!

https://www.nytimes.com/2001/04/21/business/buffy-moving-to-upn-tries-to-be-wb-slayer.html. Here's an article from The New York Times in April 2001 talking about it. The season 5 finale (episode 5.22) didn't air until the following month (ironically on 5/22).

As someone who did watch the Buffy season 5 finale as aired, I can tell you that you're absolutely wrong. I'm sure there were some people who were unaware that the show was changing networks, but I think the majority of its fans were well aware of the network situation. It had been all over the news.

Loved your waifu tier list XD. Recommendation that in the future you make it so we can actually see you making the list. Guessing that picture was the end result, but though it was like a default thing the whole way through.

Benjamin Donahue

What’s the point of reaction channels if you’re just going to binge it on your own anyways?

ino is one of my faves too!!!!!!!!!! so underrated. would play her all the time in the games lol

rickie woodson

yeah, this ep of sunny was "meh" for a sunny episode. it was still funny but in general for the series, its not on the level of the majority of the series.

rickie woodson

smallville definitely needs to go on the dc poll after harley and young justice. 10 seasons though! its LONG but its so good. seasons 3-5 are TOP tier. and so much dc lore and characters are in the show, not just superman characters. great supporting cast! its my second favorite iteration of superman after "lois and clark: the new adventures of superman"

rickie woodson

that was cassandra's perspective on why vandal killed olympia. he stayed silent when she said that........but before he killed olympia he said "no one should know my secrets. no one should know my story. i've come too far for my plans to get out. i've told you before to not write down my history" and then he killed her. THAT is why he killed her, cause she couldnt keep his mf name out her mf mouth lol. oh will

rickie woodson

well xmen went from xmen to uncanny xmen and new mutants changed to xforce and justice league became justice league unlimited. so yeah, they could have just changed the show into "the slayer" like they did with the comic if they wanted it to focus on a slayer not named buffy....but yeah, the brand is buffy the vampire slayer. the networks paid for THAT fanbase.

rickie woodson

no idea what that person is referring to. season 4 of harley isnt starting soon, its OVER with. it came out in july of 2023 and there is no release date as of yet for season 5.

rickie woodson

I agree. I had to shut it off cause it was starting to sound ridiculous 🤣.

my new name

Not gonna lie dude but you're being waaay more cringey than usual

TrapMoneyKenny

I'm not into the whole waifu thing but Mabui was obviously the best drawn.

Solebat

I'm late but god damn Navi's waifu picks are hilarious. I was choking on my coffee at times. Thanks for the laughs you two. ♥

Johnny Blue

Rana, loved your reaction to the Season 5 finale. I was very young when it aired and I remember I thought she was really dead. Then the show somehow got renewed, and I was like WTF? Then in the first ep of S6 I thought for a minute...aha they are going to have Buffybot instead...but no, they really brought her back.

Jontor11

In terms of pure romantic potential, Tenten would be the only one in the "Have My Kids" section for me. Everyone else I would hate, be bored by, think of as matronly, or be constantly worried they would kill me. 😆

Nabeshin

I'm confused by the harley comment saying season 4 starts soon? season 4 finished 4 months ago?

Joe Traupman

Loved the Young Justice segment and Navi’s clear enjoyment of the show! 🔥❤️ Hope Suraj had a good cruise and a break from the cold weather. If possible, can he react to YJ S3 EP 9&10 on twitch?

Zee

Sometimes people forget details so rewatching let's them enjoy the show all over again. Doesn't mean she can't react to it, what rule is that even. Suraj rewatched the entire AoT series with the dub crew even tho he watched most of the show already when they started.

Sickleweed

Lol damn they aren’t down with the cobra Kai but they’re vandal savage supporters, wild.

TrixieTurner

Rana, don’t feel bad for believing that Buffy was actually dead at the end of season 5. The episode was written originally to be a series final (The WB actually cancelled the show after season 5 and it moved to a different network for seasons 6 and 7). And even though Buffy does get resurrected, she did actually die and was buried for months.

Rana and Navi, dude.

Aldo Gonzales

At least after completing season 2.

Aldo Gonzales

Oh Navi I 100% agree with you that Vandal’s thought process is absolutely insane. Sacrificing many for the sake of just a few is bonkers.

Michael Pamon

2x Cobra Kai's a week Please

sainttrunks1982

I'm surprised Tenten ranked as high as she did.

Runa and Navy let’s gooooo!
