I think Riley Finn was meant to be eye candy for the female audience of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” but they all hated him.

I mean, he's not Spike. And he's definitely not Angel.

I didn't think cornboy was supposed to be an upgrade

I thought he was supposed to be the "stable", "reliable" one for Buffy - basically her last hope to connect to the human world.

Honourable mention to Xander.

Xander is the worst. Fucking awful with women. And he’s the self-admitted Whedon insert character.

[–] Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Xander is both eye candy and role model.

They had no idea what to even do with him.after his introductory season. Then they shoved him off in what may have been an interesting spin off (Globe trotting demon hunter soldiers) but that never happened.

I think they got too eager with the idea of spinoffs thanks to Angel's success.
