Willow's Dress

[cant]

Hi. I know maybe it comes across stupid, but I don't like her new dress. I love every issue (2, 3 most) but I don't like her dress because it seems to me so fantastic, or princess-ly. I like Buffy because it happens today, not in past or in some kind fantasy land you know...and her dress makes her just like that. I want to see her in jeans and sport shoes like Amy, or the other characters.

I'm from Turkey so my English is not perfect(sorry). I wrote that because it important for me (I'm a fashion design student).

What's your thoughts?

I agree, I am not a fan of medieval clothing...especially in modern day! It looks like she just came from a Renaissance fair. I suppose it's a throwback to Tara from Once More, With Feeling" but I still think it looks ugly. No one wears stuff like that these days!! It's much more of a stretch than Buffy's tights and military gear. At least that makes sense lol.

It is supposed to resemble Tara's dress, but I also think it is unneeded. And welcome to SlayAlive cant!

Good theory

Yeah that would make more sense. We need a "What has Willow been doing" arc. That hopefully will also explain what happened to Kennedy.

I couldn't care less about Kennedy tbh... Just hearing her name makes me cringe. If she doesn't turn up in the series I would be so happy.

I get why most people don't like her. But I think it would be interesting to see what her "short live mystical death" was about.

Sorry to go against trend, but I love Willow's dress, very witchy

And Bennyboi, I also love your banner, it's FANtastic

[Bennyboi]

airgirl, credit for this banner goes to **VampireDustSlayer** but thanx anyway... I really like it as it shows the gang together.

I have a theory that it would be the coolest thing ever if no S8 time was wasted going over what happened, but instead, if Joss or someone wrote a couple one shots, separate to the season, that dealt with the in-between time. Maybe not even one shots, but little mini-series. And then collected them in a TPB.

'Cause (most) everyone wants to know how all this happened! Dawn gettin' big, the organization of their squads, Andrew & Orvieto, Willow & Kennedy. I have a feeling some of it will be discussed in the upcoming issues, but much of the "lost year" between seasons will be annoyingly mysterious.

Yeah I think that is what the dress is all about. Willow might have been doing something with the coven of witches. I would like to see some of those girls. Always wondered what they were like.

I really liked the dress Willow was wearing. I though it was well Willowish.
Plus i think it was alto more suited with how she entered into the issue hovering in the sky and all. I don't think it would have given the same effect then if she was wearing jeans and a short sleeved top.

Yeah I liked it too, it made her look more powerful
