Which season villain was your favorite?








Because there are numerous villains and side baddies, I just tried to include the main big bad for each season.
Season 6 is iffy. It's between the trio, Dark Willow, and the burdens of adulthood--but the trio was never a real threat, and was more of a plot device IMO.

The Mayor was just so much fun.

I'd say Mayor > Angelus > Glory > Dark Willow > Master = Adam = First Evil

Angelus or the mayor.

Gun to my head? Angelus.

He was a great change of pace from the previous seasons, and his cheery/goody goody persona was super creepy.

I think I tend to rank the villains in Buffy based on the effect they have on the protags and how they advance the themes. I'd go with:
Glory (total helplessness) > The First (desperation/fear) > Angelus (grief/betrayal) > The Master (mortality) > Mayor (authority corruption/corrupting influence) = Dark Willow (vengeance/justice) > Adam (I can't even remember what themes he embodied)

Angelus easily.
The worst would definitely be Adam.

Angelus (plus spike/drusilla, the chemistry of that trio is fantastic. I always liked Spike more as an antagonist than as part of the gang) > Glory > Mayor > Dark Willow > Master > First Evil > Adam.

the master was a great starter villain. but overall kind of middle of the road

angelus was great because he was such a personal villain for buffy. that connection he had with her was what made him such a great villain even if on paper he is a downgrade to the season 1 villain. but he just works so much better

the mayor was amazing and one of the best villains the show ever had. no other villain topped angelus or the mayor but i give the edge to the mayor as the best buffy villain

adam he was so fucking dull. this is also the reason i didnt care for riley in buffy either. season 4 had some really good stand along episodes but its main plot was a snoozefest overall

glory i really liked glory in small doses. in large doses she was a rather annoying character and 80% of her dialogue is just repeating what we already know "i gotta get the key" and "have i mentioned i have the key"

season 6 was awful aside from the musical and tara's screentime. i love tara but the trio were not great villains. and honestly neither was dark willow. i know by this point willow is supposed to be an unstoppable uber witch and one of the few characters its shown that buffy cannot beat in a fair fight. but alyson hannigan did not pull off threatening villain well. at least she was a step up from adam

first evil - i liked the whole schitick of emotionally breaking people just by talking to them but overall the first is basically on the masters level for me. just kinda meh

I don't think they really used the First as well as they could have. It should have been a lot more manipulation and backstabbing.
