Buffy vs Edward: Twilight Remixed -- [original version] 

"You're like my own personal brand of heroin..." "Oh my God, are you twelve???" Buffy I love you XD

I'm finally getting around to watching Buffy and there's this scene in S2 where Angel mentions that Buffy hasn't been sleeping well and everyone looks at him like he's a creep and he exclaims "she told me about it of course!" The series was calling out Twilight before it even existed 😂

Every time Edward got burned by Buffy he literally just walked away

Wow the acting in Buffy is so much more nuanced and believable, its actually funy

Would you do another except with Christian Grey and Buffy? Cause it's therapeutic to watch creepy guys get their assess kicked.

...and then Buffy staked Edward.The End.

"What are you 12?" XD perfect

“Being stalked isn’t really a turn on for girls”. Thank you Buffy! Exactly. No more stalking boyfriends please movie makers, it’s NOT romantic!

the part at the end when she walks through the cemetery with the music playing was priceless: zero fucks given.

LMFAO her facial expressions are priceless

Creative use of Cedric Diggory for the death scene. Big fan of Buffy and this video shows just how creepy Edward was. Yes there's parallels between Edward and Angel, but it took time for them to start a relationship. Edward and Bella took what, less than a week?

Buffy's reactions to Edward are how Bella should have reacted.

This is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I am eternally grateful.

These comments disgust me. How about we *don’t* blame the victims for being in an abusive relationship? Young girls are taught that this “Edward-behaviour” is normal, they have nobody saying that this behaviour is wrong. Twilight came out when I was a pre-teen and at the time I saw nothing wrong with his attitude, I didn’t see the abuse, for me it was “romantic”. Later, many years later, I learned that this isn’t normal, that’s it’s creepy, but it took a lot of reading about consent and actually knowing what an abusive relationship looked like to finally understand. Society doesn’t teach us that Edward-behaviour is creepy. Young girls *actually believe* that this is romantic, because that’s what society keeps showing them again and again in books, movies and series. *Self-esteem and respect have nothing to do with it.* It’s very easy to get caught in an abusive relationship if you don’t know what an abusive relationship is or looks like. So let’s not shame the young girls who think this is "romantic". Blame the writer, the director, the actors who never mentioned this was an unhealthy relationship to their young fans, blame the people who keep showing these behaviours as something to look up to. And teach the young girls to see the world differently, in a way that will help them live a better life and avoid an abusive relationship.

Buffy could have shortened the twilight saga by a couple of movies..

I just started watching 'Buffy' today, and I'm halfway through season 2, and I guess I'm kinda 17 years late, but this show is the most fucking amazing show in the history of anything ever.

It's funny because in real life any girl would be creeped out of their minds by Edward.

“Get out or I will drop you head first” “I just want to try one thing first” *sarcastic eyebrow raise* *shot of Edward falling out head first* My favorite part of this whole thing

That ending was just so satisfying. Thank you.

I've never laughed so hard in my life.

I don't think I will ever stop loving this video. When the Twilight movies came out, people were either Team Edward or Team Jacob, but I was Team Buffy.

Please have Robert Pattinson react to this! Knowing that he hates the twilight series too, I would love to see his reaction!

Lol, this is so good! Edward behaviour is really creepy as fuck if you see it from the perspective of someone who's not Bella and I think you made a really good job pointing out the lack of personality of Meyer's characters. Buffy is so strong in comparision to him that I feel shame of how he acts...

LOL Most of her rejections were when she was telling Spike off, which was such a fun story to follow. On a more serious note when compared the two vampires there is a lot more character development on Spike's side, to the point where he changes his entire nature to be the kind of person Buffy could love. In Twilight it's more Bella changing her entire nature for Edward. One franchise promotes strength and independence for women while the other fixates that the only thing that matters is finding a man.

That use of the shot from Harry Potter was brilliant.

“I just wanna try one thing” *Gets thrown out the window*

200ret1 Actually, Bella does get mad at Wardo. Like whenever he drags her to the prom, and she starts crying, and he says "Don't be difficult, Bella". Or whenever he drags her to his car, and then she immediately forgets about it whenever a song she likes comes on (I think it was Clair de Lune). Or whenever he kidnaps her in Eclipse and she's pissed off at both Edward and Alice, and even implies that she thinks it's abusive. Or in New Moon, whenever they're on the plane, when he's barely been back in her life a few hours, and he forbids her from drinking Coke because of the Caffeine, and instead of telling him to shove his disapproval up his ass she lies and says she wants to stay awake so she can spend more time with him. Or whenever Jacob sexually assaults her, and instead of beating Jacob's ass, he calmly and rationally says not to "damage" her, like she's come of object. Or whenever she's trying to find ways to sneak over to see Jacob, and she has to figure out a way to do so without Wardo knowing, as if he's her father instead of her boyfriend (ELECTRA COMPLEX). Or whenever she's pissed off at him for using marriage as a bargaining chip, making her agree to get married to him before she gets sex from him. Or whenever they're on the first date, he orders her to eat and drink something, and she's pissed off at him for making him do it (instead of doing what Buffy would do and tell him to shove his commands up his ass). Or perhaps the biggest one of all, he abandons her in New Moon, cutting her off from all the other Cullens (including Alice, who she's supposedly best gal pals with), taking away all her stuff she had of him so she can't heal on her own terms, all of which makes her slip into psychosis and suicidal behavior (it doesn't matter if she wasn't TRYING to kill herself; it's still suicidal. People who cut but aren't doing so to die are still considered performing suicidal actions). But really though, Bella is so unrealistic. She seems to get off on it instead of doing what a real woman would do.

Quite believable really. Buffy could totally kick Edward's ass.

HA this really enhances Edwards creepiness.

Soooo good! But my heart broke a little at the sight of Cedric T_T

This is awesome, though it would work better if the color gradings of the "dialog" scenes matched better. Buffy tends to be pretty saturated and warm, with lots of yellows and reds, whereas Twilight is much more desaturated and cool, with lots of pale blues and greens. It wouldn't be too tough for a good editor to grade this so they meet in the middle, which would give it a much stronger feeling of continuity.

The amount of thought and effort that has gone into making this makes me believe in humanity again.

Back to this classic, since I'm binge-watching Pop Culture Detective's videos. Just to point out that most of Buffy's lines here are addressed to either Angel or Spike, both of whom she ends up romantically involved with. This doesn't make her any less of a bad-ass, of course, nor does it make Twilight any less trashy and disgustingly backwards, BUT Buffy did have a soft spot and a blind spot when it came to her vampire allies/stalkers. PS For some reason, I really wanted her to say "that'll put marzipan on your pie plate, bingo" after she stakes him.

Still better then Twilight. Oh wai-

The sad thing is that only Buffy fans would be watching this!😂

Yet again proving how much Buffy kicks ass and how much Twilight sucks it!

This is hilarious. It is beyond my imagination how something as bad as twilight could get so popular. If I had a daughter, I would never let her watch it, such a bad influence. Buffy on the other hand is a strong character I would proudly show my kids...oh how I love and miss Buffy ~~

Back here after a decade, and the nostalgia rush is real.

That was hilarious! I love Buffy's reactions (as always), she's just so tired of his shit. It was well put-together, bravo! :)

I've never seen Buffy (I now really want to) but I have seen Twilight and honestly this was a massive improvement, thank you so much

Was anyone else like STAB HIM BUFFY! Through the whole thing?

Amazing job! Although,i'm sure Buffy wouldn't have waited that long to kill him. Only Angel and Spike have that privilege.

Never get tired of watching Buffy stake Edward, this is still an A+++ vid.

I'd never noticed the blue-green filter used in the Twilight movies, but now that I have, it's distracting and ugly. That inherent problem with the movies aside, this was very clever.

Wow. Round of applause. This was a very smart idea to create an edit with the Twilight film to show the appropriate response to Edward's sick obsessive behavior and though it was supposed to be twisted natured it was actually entertaining to watch, parts of it had me laughing out loud, particularly his response when she told him she was the slayer. While however, Buffy was the perfect fit she was also hypocritical. Her relationship with Angel was in many ways identical and even on some level worse. Angel too stalked her and invaded her bedroom, and in BTVS lore the only way it was possible to get through her window was for her to invite him to do so (in addition he took her to prom and then left her so he wouldn't hurt her but those points are not relevant here). To top it off he in human terms was a 25-year-old man attracted to a 16-year-old minor. At least Edward's human age was 17. There is actually a term for this: Statutory rape! Angel could have ended up register as a sex offender in the state of California. Team Cangel! Then there were a couple flaws with the editing. While the scene and dialogue merging were fantastic the interactions would have felt just a bit more like they fit together if you'd done some work with the coloring of the footage. Twilight's cool and bright hues next to Buffy's exact opposite warm and dark hues are a contrast that heavily stands out. Also, I felt the "I'm on a special diet' and 'I feel very protective of you' lines were kind of random and didn't really fit. I'd maybe have started with the "I can read every mind in this room apart from yours." line. It's a bit more of a believable conversation starter. The phone conversation would have also made more sense if his two lines "You and I are gonna go somewhere alone" and "I don't have the strength to stay away from you" had been delivered in reverse. Though Meyer has stated that she never intended for Bella to be seen as a role model, our intentions do not dictate the responses we receive and a startling amount of young girls find Edward to be the ideal boyfriend because she doesn't exactly make an effort to express that his behavior is unacceptable. In general, fiction is not meant to be taken seriously nor is it meant to be realistic, believable but not realistic. There is a difference, for example, a vampire frying in the sun vs sparkling; neither is realistic because there are no such thing vampires but the frying is more believable. Nonetheless, writers need to be careful of what they put out there because there are people out there who will take a work of fiction scarily seriously. UPDATE: I now have a t-shirt that says: "And Buffy staked Edward--the end." XD

Simply masterpiece!

The editing and scene selection is fantastic. This deserves to turn into a movie

This is a brilliantly executed mash-up of these two shows.

Poor Cedric can't catch a break. XD

I loved that they used some frames from harry potter!

See, now *this* would have been worth the price of a movie ticket.

Honestly, this is very well edited.

That was so perfect that I don't have words for it. :D Ecellent cutting!

That was actually brilliant. And it was a pretty cohesive story!

Holy shit, this was made in 2009.... Man time flies, lmao

That one scene from Harry Potter though XD

This has actually made my life lmao. #teambuffy 👊

All these years and never gets old

Excellent- nice editing. Good thing he met that wimpy chick Bella instead of Buffy !

The Cedric clips were UNCALLED FOR.

It was quite priceless!!! I would want to see this sort of thing again!! It is hilarious~ Especially the part where she said, "If you don't, I would drop you head first..." And then... was that Angel dropping? I can't quite remember...

i was a die hard twilight fan and i also adore Buffy. a million years later, this is still one of the BEST fan made cross overs i've ever seen. so glad that i remembered the name.🥰🥰🥰🥰

Well done - can't believe this was posted eight years ago & I've only just now seen it!

The idea and story are really good but I'm even more impressed about the editing! Excellent job! Keep up the good work!

It’s funny to see how Twilight is all cold greenish blue and Buffy is that cosy warm peachy yellow.

That is the best thing ever.

This is so well done it's amazing!! Thank you oh so much for this! Now I've got the urge to go re-watch Buffy the Vampire to see more of her wonderful snark and confidence!

the editing of the action scenes at the end was phenomenal hhhaahah damn Mac

This is just so fantastically timed!

"I like watching you sleep". (remembers the whole Angelus sketching incident) Congratulations, Edward, you picked the single worst person on the planet to say that to.

GO BUFFY!

Wow - I just realized how creepy this Edward McSparklydude actually is. o_O never paid much attention to the Twilight-Movies, but now it seems to me that there´s actually something far more disturbing to them than just sparkling vamps. Sidenote: In this mix, Buffy has a surprisingly high amount of patience with Edward before she finally dusts him. Usually she kills Vampires on the spot for less severe offenses. Though I could see this working as an actual episode :D

this is just TOO funny!!!!😂 Especially when she tells him to get out tht part is hilarious

This is sooo good!!! Unbelievable, keep up trade good work :)

This was really fun! Love the way you did it. It must have been such a huge lot of work, so thanks :D

i've not watched either shows but this is entertaining! the editing is amazing, looks like it could be a real story!

This is pure gold, I love it haha, Edward never seemed more creepy and idiot 😅 I love buffy

This was bloody perfect, I'm upset I haven't seen this until now 😢

I am so grateful that you made this video !!! I finally got closure

You are my best RU-vid subscription since I started using RU-vid for learning about how the media warps our perception of seemingly obvious issues. Thank you Pop Culture Detective.

This is awesome!

OMG.... OMG This is really truly amazing! I haven't watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer yet... but this video is WoW... Make more, plz!!!!

2018 checking in. This is still one of the best things on RU-vid.

Yep these are mainly responses to Angel or Spike being either overly jealous or being a stalker, and while Buffy pursued and was in relationships with both of them, she wasn't with either of them when they were acting like this, so for Angel after he loses his soul and his cameo in the series finale (which is where the what are you 12 line comes from) and for Spike his behavior in season 5 after he realizes he's into Buffy but before the episode where he takes the torture from Glory to keep the secret of who the key is because he both cares for Dawn and Buffy and knows what will happen if the secret gets out.

"don't leave" **Leaves** Lmao I love this

This was perfection! Absolutely fantastic job!!!

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU ALSO MADE THIS KIND OF VIDEO OMFG I LOVE YOU

How am I only just now seeing this?! Those clips of Cedric Diggory are *chef's kiss*

Edward's regular type of flirting (sneaking into her room and watching the girl sleep) was exactly the same as Angel's threatening scare tactics of his prey (He watched buffy sleep and drew her picture in bed etc) after he lost his soul.

Pure. Genius! i love Buffy. and I love that the show praised her for her strength. She didn't need some creepo to save her, talk down to her, or stalk her to prove she was worth a man's time or attention. Shows like Twilight send some pretty weird and damaging messages to both men and women, particularly to young people who are still trying to figure out what is proper and acceptable and what is harassing and inappropriate.

I am very glad I saw the video before I read the description. I would never expect an entry in the Glorious War Against Tumblr-Trending Bigotry to be so well-done and make so much sense.

This is the best BtVS vs Twilight video ever! I never get bored watching this

Best critique of Twilight ever XD

This is fantastic, I seriously loved every second 😂

Still one of my favorite videos even after many many years, Thanks.

I recognised the Harry Potter scene immediately and got way to excited lol, this is an awesome edit!!!

love this, nice work

BUFFY ALL THE WAYYYY! ❤️

How have I never seen this before? This was... perfect. This is also now my official head canon for what really happened in Twilight. Who knew that all Twilight needed was a little Buffy? So awesome.

A really clever edit that makes for a brilliant little mini-movie. Kudos guys! An excellent (and brilliantly insightful) job-well done! ;>
