Buffy vs Edward: Twilight Remixed -- [original version]

In this re-imagined narrative, Edward Cullen from the Twilight Series meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It's an example of transformative storytelling serving as a pro-feminist visual critique of Edward's character and generally creepy behavior. Seen through Buffy's eyes, some of the more sexist gender roles and patriarchal Hollywood themes embedded in the Twilight saga are exposed - in hilarious ways. Ultimately this remix is about more than a decisive showdown between the slayer and the sparkly vampire. It also doubles as a metaphor for the ongoing battle between two opposing visions of gender roles in the 21ist century.

Buffy would wipe the floor with Edward.

[kyle wolfkind]

Numbers don't lie. Buffy wins!!! I wanna see her slay Bella next, or how about wicca Willow? That's be fun to watch too.

[Mini Messi]

Eggward XD

that argument suggests that there is no definite winner but clearly Siobhan has the upper hand considering Willow's current state and even then Siobhan would be able to control any actions Willow will do in the future.

[200ret1]

And if Siobhan wasnt enough for you, i could always bring in Chelsea, a twi vamp, who can manipulate relationships which basically means she can make Willow loyal towards her or anyone she wants in a snap of a finger.

[200ret1]

Furthermore it really would not matter considering the current status of Willow at this very moment, which is that she has been drained of her magic

[200ret1]

I still don't see her being stronger than Siobhan considering Siobhan can control any actions Willow does.

[r33mote]

now this reminding me of the astronauts vs cavemen argument they had on angel.

[r33mote]

she didn't make herself invisible. she was visible to every character but her friends. remember how anya could see her? they made it very clear that she bent reality to her will, they have an exchange between willow and buffy about that towards the end of the episode and willow says she has quite a bit to go before controlling her power.

[200ret1]

IF you are referring to the episode that made her invisible then you might as well stop. Becoming invisible doesnt really do anything with reality bending. Sure she willed herself to become invisible but that does not necessarily indicate reality manipulation. SIobhan on the other hand can change destinies, probabilities etc... Siobhan can basically influence what will happen to you in the future. I have never seen Willow pull that off

[r33mote]

you do realize willow has the power to will things to happen too. there was a whole episode about that early in season 7 of buffy. she changed reality just by thinking it.

lol. Edward was both ridiculed and creamed all in one video... he has always been a total shithed... well maybe not always... but whatever.
