In the battle against countless supernatural entities, theBuffy the Vampire Slayercastconsisted of a broad, ever-shifting ensemble.
Since its conclusion, talk of aBuffy The Vampire Slayerreboot or revivalhas been rife almost constantly.
After all, Willow is a powerful witch that can assist with threats.
Giles is a knowledgeable mentor who still has wisdom to offer.
That isn’t to say Xander is wholly without merit.
He’s at the center of several beloved episodes, such as The Zeppo.
Equally, Xander contributed to or outright created several ofBuffy the Vampire Slayer’s inside jokes.
Then, when it actually happens, he plays with their feelings and mistreats them.
He still viewed Willow and Tara as sex objects for his fantasies well intoBuffy the Vampire Slayerseason 4.
Xander was instead often a terrible friend.
He often berated people over things that required sympathy and understanding.
He took no responsibility for any of these things and never atoned.
It can give us the kind of Xander that has been buried deep beneath the whiny insecurity.
TheBuffy the Vampire Slayerrebootcan finally strip away Xander’s neediness.
It can toss aside him lusting after his friends and being casually cruel.
Instead, Xander can be the big brother figure he was always meant to be, quippy but mature.
He can be the kind of Xander that we get occasional glimpses of inrareBuffy the Vampire Slayermoments.
