Also, Buffy is a senior in the movie.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

And vampires don't have the entertaining death scenes in the series as they do in the movie. Sigh.

"Yeah, the 1992 movie should not be considered canon when it comes to the TV show; the vampires can fly in the movie, they don't dust, and Buffy's watcher says that he is a reincarnation of many past watchers. Also, the stakes are a lot bigger (I mean the actual wooden stakes, not that the situation's more important, hehe)...maybe they're like cell phones, by 1997 they were a lot smaller and more compact the same way cell phones are."
Kill Him A Lot!
Also, in the '92 cinematic interpretation, isn't Buffy's menstrual cycle or something like a radar to approaching bad guys?
Merrick in the series would have made an interesting Watcher, I think. I've always seen the Watchers Council as a mixed bag of the righteous, the control-freaks, and quasi-authoritarians. Merrick was a sympathetic character.

All is well that ends in pizza.
In the movie, she got cramps "like" menstrual cramps.
In an early Jossian writer's draft of the movie, possibly pre-sales, Buffy takes out the main vamp with a pencil that was handy.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Thus leading us to a vamp dusting because a levitating #2 poked him in the shoulderblade in "Choices."
Don't they usually expect crazy folk to be stronger than normal?
There's tear your restraints stronger than normal, and then there's deform rifle barrels like bendy straws stronger than normal.
Interesting story, a friend's father once worked in a psychiatric institution. He lost his nerve for it and quit when a genial trustee was mopping up one night and said "I like you. And it's a good thing, because if I didn't like you I'd do this to you." And then snapped the handle of the mop he was holding.

There's tear your restraints stronger than normal, and then there's deform rifle barrels like bendy straws stronger than normal.
Yeah, but Buff tends to fluctuate between those two levels anyway (as do the vamps). It's a dramatic moment thing, much like Roger Rabbit and the handcuffs.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh my. Is that for a role?

I hope so.
