no, buffy was a show about a girl with superpowers fighting to save the world and was not oversexualized and had an overall feminist message

charmed was created to try to piggyback off of the success of buffy and turned into fetish fuel over time and somehow managed to become the longest running action show to star a female lead of all time beating out both buffy and xena 2 shows that were better than charmed

what was fetishy about Charmed? I never got into it. watched like the first episode or something, and I got turned off cause I was into neo paganism at the time, and I felt like the show was just using that as a gimmick. kinda how some geeks think Big Bang THeory uses geek stuff for ratings and is fake.

about around the 3rd season episodes revolved around the girls being magically put into various skimpy clothing
weather they had to wear skimpy magical clothing to get to valhalla
or they had to wear skimpy magical clothing to become superheroes

Not Buffy. There was definitely some sex appeal, but the core story was treated seriously and there was some pretty strong commentary along the way. Not only that, but the entire premise is actually a bit of a deconstruction of shows that build their premises around creating fetish scenarios. That being said, I seem to recall a few blatantly 'sexier and hotter' moments that seemed shoehorned in.

Valhalla wasn't until the 6th season. If you're gonna talk something down, then at least have the goddamn courtesy of knowing what the fuck you're even talking about.

That was some funny shit. For those who don't know, she dresses up like a slut but decides at the last moment to go as a bedsheet ghost because she's too embarrassed by her outfit. Then she gets turned into a ghost, but because she's now intangible, she's walking around in her slut outfit. Then she goes to Giles for help and tells him she, Buffy, and Xander got turned into their costumes...

Giles: "And what were you?"
Willow: "I'm a ghost."
Giles: "...Ghost of what?"

And then later, my favorite line of the episode.

Willow: *looking at book* "This sucks. I have no idea what I'm looking for. Plus, I can't turn the page."

I hated it because it had nothing to do with the theme of the show. The writers just wanted to shock the audience with a surreal episode about her moms death. If they had just made it so that the main villain had killed her mom it would have been a 10/10 episode.

Seriously. If anything, it was one of the more grounded episodes of the series, because there was no supernatural cause for Joyce's death. Just an entirely normal medical event.

I thought Kreuk joined when she thought it was like a normal empowerment thing or whatever it masqueraded as and then quit when she realized it was a cult.

I know the point. It was to bring light to how unfortunate normal events can happen in Buffys supernatural life. It still felt completely out of place and frankly it ruined the season for me.

and the point of it was no matter what we all die one day
and not even buffy who saved the world could fight the natural order of life
and made you see that buffy for all her power is still human

It's not just that. It's that Buffy can prevent the apocalypse and literally rise from the grave but even she is powerless to prevent random tragedy from hurting her and the people she loves. That episode consistently shows up in top 10 best TV episode lists for a very good reason.
