30 Days of Television - Day Twenty Three

Day 23 - Most annoying character

DAWN SUMMERS - BUFFY: THE VAMPIRE SLAYER



Dawn's appearance at the beginning of season five marked the beginning of the end of Buffy for me. Though her presence wasn't enough to negate the awesomeness that was Glory, she WAS supremely annoying. She's the perfect example of everything I hate about angsty teen characters.

I JUST HATE HER SO MUCH.

I hated her a lot, and while that dislike decreased, I think the debate over whether or not the addition of the character was important, needed, of improved anything is still worth discussing.

That said, by the end I hated Xander more than I did Dawn. I wish Xander had died instead of Anya.

I could never forgive Xander for the crap he pulled with Anya. Then he just became intolerable. But, I did like him at one point. I never liked Dawn.

Hell yeah, Fuck Dawn! I seriously couldn't get past what a brat she was to ever see her as a legitimate character. She was always fake to me; Buffy's totally fake sister. >:C

As soon as she showed up I wanted her to disappear. I wish she had been evil so Buffy could have killed her. :/
