Buffy The Vampire Slayer's Most Underrated Star Is Taking Over Social Media

If you happen to share my dislike of TikTok, you might not realize how busy Charisma Carpenter has been. Buffy the fans cheered. He entertains everything from wild fan questions about how David Boreanaz smells to praise from fans for his “foul mouth… However, none of his content has come off as intimidating as he asks if fans would like him to do a recap podcast, and for good reason: if he's willing to spill the tea , a few of Joss Whedon's vampire characters kill the universe. have a compelling story to share.

Another reason for this is that Charisma Carpenter has been able to walk the line between two major franchises, serving as a key member in Buffy the Vampire Slayer before switching to moody Angel go back Buffy's third season is over. To put it mildly, Angel it was completely different in terms of setting, acting, and overall tone, and I would have liked to hear more about how Carpenter adapted his party character to fit the new, noisy world of “whodunit” mysteries.

For example, AngelThe early episodes often seem to treat Cordelia as someone in her early 20s rather than an 18-year-old fresh out of high school, and we'd love to hear how much of that was intentional and how much was accidental. As for the show itself, Angel it evolved so quickly and so much that each season felt so different than the last, and it would be great to learn how Charisma Carpenter navigated this after she left. Buffy (a show that stayed pretty much the same until, ironically enough, his departure).

For those of us who enjoy hearing about dirty, behind-the-scenes drama, though, it's a compelling reason to listen to Charisma Carpenter's. Buffy rewatching the podcast (assuming it ever makes it off the ground) to see if you like more of franchise creator Joss Whedon. Whedon once enjoyed the reputation of being the most prominent womanizer in Hollywood, and one of the reasons that has changed is that Carpenter took over X (formerly Twitter) and described the man as “just a history of brutality.”

She revealed that he called her “fat” after she got pregnant, asked her if she would keep the baby, blamed her pregnancy for ruining the show, and fired her after she gave birth. The actor was looking forward to motherhood, but says the joy “sucked up quickly,” and she knew exactly who to blame: “Joss was the producer.”

Long story short, I'm here to revisit Charisma Carpenter Buffy glory days on TikTok, and I'm down with him hosting a retrospective podcast. He's clearly still very much in love with his character and all of this fictional creation, which is evident in his hilarious online videos and his role in an incredibly high-quality audio game. Slayers: A Buffyverse Story. And if he wants to spill a gallon of tea about all the behind-the-scenes drama that has gone into the most ambitious urban fantasy shows in network history, that's just the Cordelia-shaped cherry on top of her total social media dominance.
