Lucas Weymann

Could not have had better timing on this drop, mucho thanks to the whole crew

Dani Weber

My cat is named Buffy! She's my favorite character 😜

David Donahue

This is so ridiculous... of course everyone in that show is a HARD WOULD! 🤣

PhoenoFox

I hope this series never dies.

withinmyself

Honestly, these haven't been my favorite content, but I'm excited that Beth is here this time.

Delaynie Potts

I haven't even listened yet and I'm so excited lol

megisaman

thank god a would that i can listen to and understand we used to pray for days like this

Lindsey W

If nothing else, I consider the SA with Spike to be non-canon, and Joss Whedon's darkest self-insert. He hated Spike's popularity and wanted to destroy the character.

StarlightKissu

Besthesda companions might be fun; fallout/skyrim etc.

Robert Davidson

If this didnt have beth I would have walked right out of this sub

Mike Hawk

Me when new episode: 🥰 Me when it’s would: 🫥

Redsriding

Beth if you’re reading this pls drop the cancel/purity culture read you mentioned

Broth

can’t believe Clem didnt make it all the way 😔

Kuroe Draws

I've been waiting for this oneeeee 😫👌

Jess

Love it, and so excited for a new drop, and round 2 is so VERY the opposite of how I see everything!! Goodness goodness.

Bret Schulte

It is a lot of characters and they probably haven't seen all of it, but I'd love it if they covered Star Trek.

Whims Wandering Worlds Words

Some suggestions: Game of Thrones Startrek Middle Earth Star Wars Black Sails Heroes American Horror Story West World Marvel DC The Walking Dead Pirates of the Caribbean Peaky Blinders Bleach Naruto Call of Duty Super Smash Bros

RiverRapids

I desperately need final fantasy with ash as the guest

Arkole Blake

Wait, are they saying there is some kind of connection between Glory and Ben?!?!

Andi_Camp

Wait, Doyle was Mark on Roseanne??

Shaylee Cram

Here’s some suggestions for future would : Baulder’s gate 3, Lord of the Rings, our flag means death, what we do in the shadows ( tv and movie), cyberpunk 2077, hades and resident evil ?

Sunny shine

I love the episodes but as someone who has never seen these shows or played these games it would help for a quick summary of the character! (Also I vote hellavurse and homestuck)

Keely O'Brien

"He's British though" what's wrong with British people? Lmao. That accent is hot.

SuperNerd Che

Loved this! I thought Giles would win for sure but I’m happy with the outcome! My suggestion: Fallout New Vegas!

Bob McCoog

Wait .... so Ben is related to Glory somehow?

chill

Justice for Groosalugg!

Benjamin P Parson Gomberg

I am pleasantly surprised to see Black Sails on this list. Always felt like I was the only person who watched and enjoyed that show, and it’s actually got a pretty wide spectrum of flawed-but-interesting boyfriends.

Luke 'Punquillity' Elias

I would love to see MCU villains xD. I think the dialogue could be rather fun.

Eric Willey

I liked Black Sails, it was fun.

Tony Loch

You leave the door open to Stucky, and then you just.. walk away. Terrible. Horrible.

Bret Schulte

A wild card franchise pick: The Viewaskewniverse.

Absey

First thing I thought when I saw it was Buffy related was Beth HAS to be guest starring in this episode

Chris Atienza

Throwing my suggestions out there Stargate Fringe Star Trek Eureka Farscape Once upon a time Smallville

Rob Wes

I was at your sister's White Elephant is such a good burn

Lisa

YEEESSS!! As a Buffy-only fan I'm baffled Wesley the creep would win over best boy ever Oz but I've never seen Angel so I'm happy my n°1 made it to the final anyway! Also please please please do Glee it would be so cursed and hilarious!!

Marissa Y.

Seconding the suggestion of Once Upon a Time. Everyone on that show was attractive

Marissa Y.

Finally someone who doesn't HATE Riley!!! I think he is a great representation of the semi-normal life Buffy can't have. (Knowing nothing about the show beyond gifsets on tumblr, I went into Buffy fully expecting to ship Spuffy, but I instead fell in love with Angel and I did NOT like Spike and Buffy) Suggestions for the next franchise: Grey's Anatomy, Veronica Mars (Logan supremacy, not sorry), Gilmore Girls (I'd love to hear the takes. If Dave or Luke doesn't win I *will* riot), Firefly. (True story, I've been rewatching GG and when they mentioned Doyle I was like "wait... that's not his name on Buffy" 🤦🏻‍♀️)

Delaynie Potts

Ben was created to imprison banished hell demon god Glory. She was trying to come back by using Dawn.

Delaynie Potts

Great episode. I love these convos. I have to second a vote for either Stargate (not the movie.) (And include sg-1, Atlantis, and universe) Viewaskewniverse And MCU

Alphones Armorman, suitperson

Should see about getting Seth Green on the show to do a post show on it :P, I'm sure he'd be down for something like that. Other series that might be interesting is LOTR :P

cob D

Oof. Havent turned off an episode in the first 15 minutes until now.

PunchBeams

X-Men would be a perfect topic. I know you said the MCU, but the x-men specifically is perfect because they’re all already fucking lol.

Rúnar Jóhannesson

I would absolutely love a whole season taking place in the Dadhammer 40.000 universe 😍 That being said I have loved all three seasons so far and I honestly don’t mind whatever setting is chosen. I’m here to listen to a talented group of people making fantastic content while having fun doing it. You are great!

Jackie :)

Love a Buffyverse conversation - as someone who has spent waaaaay too much of her life contemplating the many ins and outs of these shows it's v nice to hear other folks' opinions. Y'all are a delight and I look forward to more :)

S.S. Beyoncę

Helluva Boss would be such a funny show to do this for!

Jennifer

I was actually shocked that Spike wasnt the obvious choice cause I love his transformation and how devoted he becomes. Love Buffy and this was such a fun episode! MCU is a fantastic choice to do next. For something a lil more silly maybe the Shrek verse lmaoo

Ivan Ramirez

Idk if it’s too niche but the companions from kotor/swtor would be good in this format

Michael Han

I really want to hear Anthony's reaction to the hellaverse

S.S. Beyoncę

I know right! I feel like he would have some hot takes

Mel Mel

The way I was screaming Dennis at 'Cordelia's ghost' lmao Dennis is great. Peak boyfriend

Mel Mel

Baldur's gate has to be any gender though cos they need to talk about Lae'zel. Goddamn I adore her. So my first playthrough I was bad. I was a bard who basically could do *nothing* so I relied heavily on her as a fighter. But I didn't care about her story. Didn't do any gith stuff (mainly cos I didn't find it. I was going in blind). So by the time the final cutscene rolls around and you get the wrap up to all their stories and it gets to her I was very like 🤷 stay, go IDC And then she hits me with basically "I want to stay here. With my friends." And my heart just fucking melted I romanced the shit out of her on my next playthrough (obligatory fuck Gale lol) and haven't looked back

Mel Mel

I can't quite believe that Whedon managed to make two characters die in each others arms Anyway. Shows you guys should do more woulds for The none buffy/angel Whedon stuff. So dollhouse, firefly. Could maybe even stick in agents of shield and cabin in the woods cos he created them but eh Baldur's gate 3 🙏🙏

Jeremiah Deguzman

What happened character introductions? As one of the last of the millenials, Buffy and Angel were just outside of my sphere of media. Also can we have a Supernatural Would?

DjTravioli

Helluva boss and Hazbin Hotel combo. Also, this is to obvious given you just did Buffy, but Trueblood/i think vampire diaries is the same universe. But I'd like to hear a Lost one. It's definitely better to binge. I watched it a couple years ago and my roommate at the time kept trying to ruin it for me though so it might just have been that in had to binge.

Staci Crouch

A Hellaverse Would is a hard yes yes yes! Please!!

Intestinal-Bookworms

Left field answer for best in the Buffyverse boyfriend: Groosalugg! He’s very sweet and handsome It’s a shame they forgot him.

Bettybits

My answer is Anthony's guess.

BudgiesAreTheBest

I'd love a Final Fantasy WOULD. There are dozens of boyfriends. FF8 alone: Xell, Irvine, Squall, Laguna, Kiros, Ward Cid, Cifer, Raijin... Not even to speak of FF7 with Vincent, Sephiroth etc

Andrew Duck

At the risk of just suggesting all Marvel stuff, I want the MCU episode to either contain the Marvel Netflix and AoS stuff, cause AoS has some really interesting boyfriend options and there is so much you can discuss with Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock.

Benjamin P Parson Gomberg

I think Wesley was the first time I really was able to identify and articulate what a good character arc in a tv show was. Like I’d seen it done before, but I wasn’t interrogating why the character’s personal growth and journey was interesting and effective. To be fair, I’d mostly just watched sitcoms, and at the time most characters were fairly static (or just got more flanderized over time). But Wesley made me realize how a character I hated could actually recognize their own internal state and work to change it through their own choices and not just by reacting to external events. And not just by becoming some flawless person; he still struggled and made mistakes, and the journey was quite rocky at times, but his transformation was so remarkable and earned. He went from my least favorite Buffy character to my favorite character in the Buffyverse, and a top character in all fiction for me. Like these guys I can’t even think of his last scene in Angel without getting a bit emotional.

a. b.

Major DC Lanterns could be fun. The corpsmen, Simon, Sinestro, Atrocitus, Kilowog, Salaak...

Beck Webster

Firefly!!!!!!!! I need a would for firefly

Cam

Oh yes PLEASE do Hellaverse

LeCurve52

Smallville!!!! Same WB era

Ur Arch-Femmesis

Dont forget about Helluva Would! Itd be so fun, especially if you expand it to Vivzie Would so it would include Hazbin Hotel!

Ur Arch-Femmesis

No judgement, but I wouldnt be surprised if at least one person is down with the Wincest lol

Carlina Howell

Now that all the twilight movies have been watched we need a Twilight Would!

ak

Beth mentioned accountability culture—cannot overstate how incredible The Revolution Starts at Home is for these questions. First edition is online for free as a PDF & second edition is incredible

Beth Sophia

At present, Giles is the only age appropriate one for me, as I'm now older than Anthony Head was when Buffy started. However, at the end of Angel Wesley was a little older than my fiancé is now... So either Giles or Baby Giles would be my pick. At the time Buffy was being made, I thought Seth Green was a cutie so I would have picked him. But as an adult I want someone I can buy a house with and have a whole room of floor to ceiling bookshelves full of fascinating books. And a realtor friend of mine actually showed a client around a house where they found a hidden door in the back of a closet that opened on a hand-dug staircase into a creepy basement that was absolutely not supposed to be there. (One bare light bulb and a toilet in the corner. Clearly crimes had happened.) So I know there's at least once house in my area where any dangerous books on magic and such could be stored safely. Although there is a case to be made for a basement dungeon as containment for a werewolf.

Beth Sophia

My suggestion is the different iterations of Batman characters. The various Batmans, the various villains, the Commissioners Gordon and Alfreds and etc.

Carmel Rafa🪴

Huge PLEASEEEEEE re: Hellaverse WOULD!! I so desperately need to know where y’all would rank Lucifer, Asmodeus, Fizzi, and Moxx. (Also, Loona???? 👀)

Laci B

FINALLY finished Buffy last night and had to come straight to this episode :) It makes me really happy to hear you guys love Anya so much. I identify strongly with her as an autistic princess

Laci B

Would you guys ever consider doing one with Bridgerton men? Not sure if that series is up ur alley

Jena Dittus

How much money do I need to give amanda to do the hellaverse one???

Dump Daze

Here I thought Anthony was gonna say Oz is obviously the # 1 bf at the start, but he went q different route.

Dump Daze

Arrowverse has plenty of dudes to rank bf potential

Dump Daze

The actor is American. Young me always assumed he was British 😅

Dump Daze

What's the Hellaverse?

Dump Daze

Yeah the males only scope limits them for some franchises. I think BG3 has 4 male companions. Though they can do like they did here in Buffy and add in more side male characters, like the Emperor, the lead Tielfling guy, etc

Dump Daze

Wesley had such a good character arc!

Dump Daze

I'm in the minority where I actually like Adam, and Season 4. They tried to do something different, with a cold calculating soulless evil villain, as opposed to the more emotional villains. Its not better or worse to me, just different

Owen Townes

the squee I squeed when she asked that...

Emma Gold

I know I'm late to the party on this one, but Would: Star Wars would be amazing to me

Laci B

Would you guys consider doing stardew valley? Not sure if it’s up your alley

Cinderhella

Omg lost would I’ll blow my load

adrian_othric

Vampire diaries, supernatural, bones, men of Miyazaki and date everything. Also Sayid or Desmond from lost

Amanda

I'm so late to this but did y'all forget about S7 ensouled Spike, aka the most devoted ride-or-die boyfriend ever invented?

lizardqueen6969

This alone made watch Buffy for the first time and I'm so grateful for that 😭

Alex Podcast

As an asexual romantic, this is a fascinating series. Every "he's conventionally physics attractive" take means absolutely nothing to me.

Jacob

The most painful thing someone can tell me is “you’re not funny” so Beth saying that just shattered me

Jacob

Do disco elysium next

JayneTheYogi

Buffy episode one coming out in my birth year makes me feel like an imposter.

Medic Titan

Hear me out, borderlands
