Hmm. In S1 and some of S2 Buffy, I thought DB looked way too thin. He was a wee bit chunky in S3, but he looked great in S5.
And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
But by normal human standards he looks great.
That's the problem. Normal human standards don't apply to vampires . He was so clearly older, and fatter (which is hardly suprising - I'm older and fatter than I was when Buffy began) that I agree it was starting to be a bit jarring

Quality trolling, Dai.

Yeah, the fact that he breathed was really annoying, too. Broke the fourth wall with every exhale.

And yet, still less jarring to me than just how much of his age Marsters was showing there at the end. (I appear to have an easier time fanwanking chubby cheeks than I do crow's feet.)

Yeah, that too.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Both of them aged more than SMG, ironically enough. Although it didn't really bother me, since I knew they were actors and so bound to change a bit. I could pretty much ignore it, like the breathing and the lame CGI.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Let us just be thankful that neither Spike nor Angel was canonically vampirized at age 17, and thus an era of really bad Dawson's Creek elderly-teenager jokes were avoided.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Makes sense, tho. JM went from 36 to 44, while DB was 28 when Buffy started, and 37 when it ended. These are the ages when time really starts to show.

All is well that ends in pizza.
