[livejournal.com profile] sueworld2003 said "Trouble is as beautifully done as they are, they mainly served to push home to me how much I miss seeing those characters in a live action format." I was wondering how many others felt the same. Two polls under the cut.

3) There was an urgent, big threat so Buffy broke the law to counter it. Then there was a not quite so urgent, not quite so big threat, and Buffy broke the law to counter it. Then there was a fairly routine threat, and Buffy broke the law to counter it. Then Buffy thought there might be a big threat some time in the future, so she broke the law to counter it. Slippery slope.

4) There are 2,000 girls who are now Slayers. Their lives are in danger, and Buffy is completely responsible for their current situation. Every one of them who gets killed makes her feel she's got blood on her hands. So anything at all - even crime - is justifiable if it will save their lives. And how else can she find lots of money to buy semi-legal military equipment quickly?

(4) is my favourite.

You frighten me. :)

But, seriously, it's the kind of logic bolsheviks used when they did the revolution and established communist regime. They considered themselves responsible for the suffering of the poor. To save poor people from their lot they overthrew the legal government. They thought it was justifiable if it will save people's lives.

But that logic is hardly unique to the bolsheviks. And for every Russian or French revolution there's an American or an English one. Which kind Buffy might end up being involved in is the big question (and not one addressed much by action movies).
