"I wanna torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured somebody, they didn't even have chainsaws."
"To kill this girl ... you have to love her."
I dunno about you, but I always loved Angelus more than Angel, and thought his worse (or better) half deserved his own thread.
I felt "Meh." on Angel himself for the first one and a half seasons. Then he turned evil, and season 2's Angelus is still my favorite Buffy villain of all time. In fact, I was really hoping they'd continue a Jekyll and Hyde thing regarding Angel/us. He had a sort of Jokeresque burn-the-world attitude I enjoyed, and he screwed with Buffy emotionally in a way none of the other bad guys did. His obsession with her was perfect.
Buffy: It's so weird. Every time something like this happens, my first instinct is still to run to Angel. I can't believe it's the same person. He's completely different from the guy that I knew. Willow: Well, sort of, except ... Buffy: Except what? Willow: You're still the only thing he thinks about.
(I want a wallpaper of Angelus with that quote. Seriously.)
And gods, the way he killed Jenny Calender. I loved it. Not out of any hatred for her character, but the way he did it was art. I applauded, and said, "Damn, I want my villains to be like that."

Okay, I dunno if you are into Batman at all, but was I the only one who got a total Batman vs. Joker vibe off of Buffy vs. Angelus? I mean, the mind games, the armageddon happy, the personal obsession... that's seriously what it reminded me of. Granted, Batman doesn't have a tortured love for the Joker unless you read too much slash, but still.

You're not the only one!
I thought of it through a Buffy-colored looking glass. I 100% saw Batman as Buffy and then instantly thought of Angelus. I think it's an easy comparison to make, sans the whole romantic torture thing. I get where you're coming from.
Plus, Angelus in Buffy S2 is wayyyy cooler than Angel at times. I thoroughly enjoyed his evilness in the second half of the season.
Plus, Angelus wears the leather pants! No complaints there!

Especially when he's laughing or grinning evilly at Buffy. He's a huge part of why Season 2 is awesome.

^.^ God, now I want to write something with Angelus torturing Buffy or one of her friends with intent to turn, just so I can quote the Joker.

I like to think of Angel v Angelus as totally different characters because David manages to bring such a different person... or personality... to both of them. and I actually LOVE angel, but I really love Angelus too. So it's not really a either or to me. Just like don't go "Hm I like Vamp Willow better than Willow" cos it's funny cos they're the same person, but they really are different characters and you don't need to say one or the other.
I totally adore Angel vs. Angelus episode of Ats! HEHE, so many funny lines from Angelus.

I'm totally in on this fan club! DB is totally sexy and when a guy can become such a complete uncaring badass sometimes it's just kinda HOT!
I completely prefer Angelus to Angel when he was on BtVS though for me nothing equals the "real" Angel in AtS.
Besides as Greer said, Angelus wears the leather pants and very few things are better than that. ;D

I completely prefer Angelus to Angel when he was on BtVS though for me nothing equals the "real" Angel in AtS. Besides as Greer said, Angelus wears the leather pants and very few things are better than that. ;D I agree with you. Angel was kinda sappy in the first seasons of Buffy unless he was kicking ass with vamp face on. DB obviously relished the opportunity to play a villain and played Angelus with a lot more energy and prowess than he had Angel (which is admittedly a boring part). Also agree that by AtS though, DB was a fine actor. S3 was an excellent transition for him, where the creators were judging for themselves whether he could hold his own series. They made a wise decision when the realised that he could. I think it's Doug Petrie in the commentary for Bad Girls who says that it was the moment he decided DB had it in him during the scene where Balthazar is interrogating Giles and Wesley, asking "What is his name?". Angel, in power shot mode, storms in and says "His name is Angel" before launching into the mob! That was the moment for Doug. Sorry for the ramble Go Angelus! Fav lines: (holding the Orb of Thessulah) "You know what I hate most about these things? They're so damn fragile! (hurls it at the wall). Must be that shoddy gypsy craftsmanship." What an evil guy....Mwahahahahaha!

I'm a huge lover of Angelus. He's hot and super smexy. The leather pants, the eyeliner, the wickedly vicious snark - oh yeah, baby!
One of my favorite lines by him besides his Passion monologue:
"How did you survive this long being so retarded?" - Calvary

One of my favourite lines is this one, Angel: Even with my soul, there were things I done I wish a hundred times I could take back Angelus: Yeah, like those Manilow concerts, you son of a bitch

Yeah I have a thing for Angelus too. Whenever you read Spuffy fanfics they always make a comment about Angel being boring in bed. I have a feeling this is not a problem for Angelus.

Probably not. While I loved him in Angel season 4 (he was hilarious) and how I loved his return (sleeping with Cordy {yeah, so it's a dream, who cares? He sleeps with Cordy}) I think Angelus was a little better in Buffy season 2, with the whole evil and creepy thing he had going. Either way, Angelus was cool
