okay. Finished Buffy. Moving on to the Willow comics and ao3.
Solid 9/10 show. Except for a good chunk of season 6. Seven was kind of shaky but I think that's just because I don't like kennedy as willow's girlfriend.
Okay, actually, let's talk about kennedy. Completely unedited, unserious rant incoming. Treat my ramblings like those of a small, maybe amusing gnome.
Kennedy was a bullshit character. She had really no reason to exist other than for them to be able to say "look, willow has a girlfriend, isn't that nifty?" She barely felt like a person, only a tool to move willow on from tara. She didn't have any chemistry with willow and we barely saw them on screen together unless they were kissing or in that one episode with the date.
Willow and kennedy's relationship seemed very rushed and out of place as opposed to willow and tara's. It felt natural and cute and they were both so enamored with each other. They fit together well and developed their relationship over multiple seasons. We see them working together, sharing interests, skills, and a cat. Willow and kennedy really have nothing in common besides being gay. I guess they might, but we never saw kennedy enough to know really anything about her.
Anyway, I think they introduced her way too soon. I feel like having willow move on so quickly kind of does a disservice to the deep relationship that willow and tara had. And for such a nothingburger of a person, too.
