ohhhhhhhhhhhh close one
i think it's just the fact that angel had to be killed because of everything that he'd done
where as spike sacrificed himself, and the fact that he was smiling so bravely made it even worse

The difference is actually killing as opposed to letting someone kill themselves.

NikaDawson picked Letting Spike Sacrifice Himself To Save The World:
Ok, first of all Buffyfan, she did love him. Buffy doesn't say I love you to someone unless she loves them. She never said it to Riley. The writer's said Buffy was in love with Spike.

And second of all, Spike didn't kill himself. He died so that he could make the world safe for Buffy. He went into that cave for Buffy. Angel gave them the amulet but they didn't know what it was going to do. They didn't know it would kill him, they didn't even know how it was going to help. It was never explained.

And I'm sorry, but standing there and letting someone die when they didn't have to, that's upsetting. That's like letting your sister jump off a bridge and not try to stop it. She had to kill Angel, he needed to die to stop the apcolypse that he started! A hard thing to do yes, but a necessary one. Spike didn't have to die.

but physically killing someone after hed only just returned to being normal was harder i think, shed spent the night with spike and got to spend time wiht him, angel had just come bk from being angelus and because of angelus she had to kill the love of her life!

Joker picked Having To Kill অ্যাঞ্জেল To Save The World:
Spike did have to die though, so that he could save the world. That's his redemption. Personally I think Spike's death is brilliantly done, I thought it was a great exit for a quality character and was actually a little bit gutted that it was cheapened slightly when they brought him back.

Until AS5 was so good and Spike's a big part of that.

Put it in perspective though. Buffy is 17yrs old when she has to take the decision to stab her boyfriend, her first love, that she hasn't 'seen' for months, through the heart in because 'it's her job'. That took so much strength and she goes a little off the handle because of it.

Sending Angel to save the world broke her Heart, she tryed to find another way but that was the only way to save the world, where when spike died she gave him the locket and didn't really make a fuss when he told her to go because he wanted to see how it ends :]

Really? Physically murdering someone that you love, or just anyone, regardless of your feelings for them, is better than letting someone die to save the world, someone who wants to do it?? I don't agree, and I think that had Buffy stopped Spike from sacrificing himself it would have been tragic - that was his redemption for everything that he'd done, and stopping him would have ruined that.

And god the season 2 finale was just soooooo heartbreaking!!! I cried for about half an hour after that, seriously, it was awful. Whereas I didn't cry at all at Spike's death, I was far more cut up about Anya dying. And that's not through any dislike of the character, to the contrary, I like Spike, and so I thought it was a fitting, heroic end for him that redeemed him and was quite beautiful. Also very funny, because you can't have any important Spike moment without humour! "It stings a little"! Haha.

But the other reason I picked killing Angel over Spike's death was it's effect on Buffy. Sacrificing Angel to save the world broke her heart and royally screwed her up, so much so that she was still recalling the pain of it years later, in both seasons 5 & 6. She loved him completely, had lost him at the moment when she they had given themselves totally to each other, and then had to fight the demon that wore his face to the death. Then, at the last minute, he is returned to her, as she has wished & hoped for for months, and then she has to kill him. It was so sad! And she was devastated by it, tried to give up her calling because of it. The effect on her was so much worse, because she had to lose the man she loved again, but more than that she had to physically kill him and see the look of pain and shock and betrayal in his eyes when she did. Whereas with Spike, she was proud of him for his redemption, and was smiling just a few minutes later!

Also, Joss didn't say in the commentary that Buffy loved or was in love with Spike. He said that he wanted SMG to mean in IN THAT MOMENT, to love him and be proud of him in that moment, which I think is very telling!

Joss Whedon did said Buffy was in love whit Spike:
Buffy was in love with Spike the moment their hands clasped. -- Joss Whedon (San Diego Convention)
Both were very hard for Buffy but at least when Angel died he knew buffy loved him and belived ashe loved him and besided he came beack in season 3 and Buffy knew that.But when Buffy told Spike she was in lvoe whit him he didn't belive her,he was sacrafaysing himself thinking she didn't love him he left him burn only because he wanted to.Beofre that she was ready to die whit him.And even when Spike returned in season 5 ATS Buffy didn't knew about it and still thought he had died.So yes Buffy was in love whit him and I think that was much harder for her.

Everyone who knows me, knows I am the biggest Bangel/Angel fan alive.. Not a fan of Spuffy! but, Spike sacrificing himself to save the world was heartbreaking and so emotional, because we had to sit there and watch this man or Vampire get Dusted, I was heartbroken for weeks....

Buffy killing Angel was also heartbreaking and I also cried for weeks with this one, to this day I still tear up. But he didn't sacrifice himself to save the world, buffy Sacrificed him.

maryksand picked Letting Spike Sacrifice Himself To Save The World:
I think both where. Come on, she loved both of these guys and first one she had to kill by her own hands due to save the world and the second one willingly decided to sacrifice himself and refused to get out of there with her, more than that, he rejected her ILY which she genuinly meant (Joss confirmed it, Buffy was in love with Spike). So yes, as much as heartbreaking it was for Buffy to kill Angel, but seeing Spike dying for her & the world and not even believing that she loves him was a bit more painful imo.

ReadyRandy picked Letting Spike Sacrifice Himself To Save The World:
I personally believe that the "Chosen" scene was more upsetting. In my opinion, Spike and Buffy had a lot more development when it comes to their relationship. At first, Spike was just another vampire but as the seasons went on, he became a very important part of the show. Watching him sacrifice himself to save the world was heartbreaking, Where as in Angel's case, we didn't know his character as much and dying wasn't something he decided on.
