Comic Vs TV what do you prefer?

Warren appeared as the First because he'd died. End of story. Infact that element was an important past of Willows story arc,

How was the fact that The First could take Warren's form important to Willow's story arc? It never appeared to her in that form. She killed him, Amy revived him, The First appeared as him (to Andrew). And Buffy died (twice), Xander and Willow (respectively) revived her, and The First appeared as her too. Not really seeing why one is perfectly OK and the other is a dealbreaker, here...

Or to put it another way: what Joss forgot was that The First couldn't have appeared as Warren if he hadn't died, not that Warren died at all!

The fact that Warren has been revived and brought back this way, does 'cheapen' what Willow did I think. The whole climax of the 'OMG Willows gone bad and killed' is that yeah, she did actually kill Warren.

Now to have him come back and say well Amy saved him seconds after he died, is utter bollocks I'm afraid, and hair splitting of the worst kind.

I disagree, but this is going over old ground now so perhaps it's best to agree to disagree.

Willow discovered that she was capable of vicious cruelty and torture, and had the will to do murder in her heart. That's quite powerful enough, even if we later discover the man she thought she'd killed was "only" turned instead into a hideous, skinless monster that makes grown men blanch and shrink in fear at the mere sight of him.

I'm not seeing how that cheapens what she did... but like I say, I'm not trying to convince you otherwise...
