Thats a rather insightful article , good job!

That was a great read. Thanks for posting the link! Satsu definitely seems like a more 3-dimensional character now.

Wow great article! I feel like I know her better now. It's amazing what you can get from analysis. Thanks.

cool I like the idea of Satsu being a main character...although some people will never ever accept it no matter how important she becomes, I still like a the idea of the Cast of the following:

Regulars:
Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy Summers
Nicholas Brendon as Xander Harris
Michelle Tratchenburg as Dawn Summers
?? as Satsu
And Alyson Hannigan as Willow Rosenburg

Recurring:
Anthony Stewart Head as Rupert Giles
Tom Lenk as Andrew Wells
Eliza Dushku as Faith
Iyari Limon as Kennedy
?? as Renne
?? as Twilight

The reason I don't have Andrew and Giles in the credits, is because they haven't been in it much. Andrew's been in only 3, and Giles has been in 7. Still since Buffy has cut Giles off, I don't think he will be appearing for awhile. Back to the main topic..that would be sweet if Satsu was in the credits.

Satsu is really growing on me now, i just wish that they would pay this much attention to some of the other slayers instead of the usuals (satsu, renne).

The meta is interesting, but I don't think Jeanty puts nearly as much thought into his expressions as they're reading into it. If he was going to go to that much trouble, you'd think he'd be a bit more consistent in terms of the shape of peoples' faces and the positions of their features. Buffy looks like she's melting in issue twelve.

Wow, what a fantastic article. In comparison to this, I've practically skimmed through all the issues of Season 8 so far... I'm definitely going to start paying more attention to detail from now on and go back and reread. I'm not a very big comic reader, and I didn't realize how much info there is the details.

Although yeah, the expression analysis seems to be overanalyzed a bit.

Thats what i thought.

[kershmuckit]

wow, this guy has an eye for detail! I really enjoyed reading his observations. I think it's better he commented on what the expressions could mean, it's just harmless speculation after all. And us buffy fans do love to speculate lmao. ;D

[Rachster]

great read i love how her now means slay kill

[ella]

that made for a great read! thanks for the link

That was a great read! The writer sure has analysed every last detail!
I like the way he drew the heart outline between Buffy and Satsu in bed.

[postitnote]

That was such a close-read literary dissection that I, the English grad student, am thoroughly impressed!

[alycat7]

This is just one ersons views on the character of Satsu. That doesnt make it true. Unless Joss himself gives me an overview of Satsu, then her character is still in question to me.

[postitnote]

Which is why interpretations and close-reads of literary qualities are always such a hot topic. It's what keeps literature alive!

[faith0tvs]

alycat you're right but on the other hand a viewer/reader may form his/her own opinion about a character so this article is just a reader's analysis which happens to be very good.

Now when it comes to comic books the writer is in constant communication with the artist and gives him/her specific details about the faces of the characters and their movements for it is of the same importance as in the movies, Jeanty 's work is incossistent but that doesnt mean that the expressions are false, it would be a major blowout to the comic if the majority of the expressions were accidentaly drawed .

[Slayer489]

I'm gonna start paying a lot more attention to the comics now because of that article on Satsu, like little details that could be missed you know?

[henzINNIT]

Nice analysis. It's given me more appreciation for Satsu as a character.

[Skytteflickan88]

Cool article. But that's a black chick, not an asian one.

I could of course be wrong, but the clothing is also very different. Someone must ask joss some day.
