When Angel ultimately reverted back to his Angelus form during Buffy's second season, viewers were treated to front-row seats to this long-running and tense rivalry that provided as much drama as it did laughs. While Angelus was a true and sinister predator - he enjoyed the thrill of the hunt and inflicting emotional torture as much as the physical pain he brought to his victims - Spike got off on the heat of an epic physical battle. Despite the romance and passion that accompanied Angel and Spike's respective relationships with Buffy, neither vampire was the right man for the slayer over the course of the show's seven-season run, but they were a guaranteed fun time when paired together.Īfter Drusilla, who had been sired by Angelus and thus felt a special connection to him, sired Spike in 1880, the two men butted heads over Spike's disregard for keeping a low profile and desire to embrace a shameless attitude toward vampiric violence. But ultimately it doesn't matter if you're a Spuffy 'shipper or a diehard Bangel fan, because the show's best 'ship - romantic or otherwise - was actually Angel and Spike.ĭon't believe us? Even creator Joss Whedon has pledged allegiance to it.
