Frankly, and I know I'm going to cause debate, but I'm still sure I'm right, River could kick Buffy's ass. That fight scene more or less proves it, I think. As she's the only person who survives this film pretty much entirely unwounded, she qualifies as a Level Nine badass.

As for Mal being darker, particularly after Book dies, I should point up that this is expected for a Whedon hero, who always goes pretty dark in the time leading up to the battle s/he doesn't expect to survive. Examples include "The mission is what matters" Buffy in S7 and Angel being murderously ruthless in order to infiltrate the Black Thorn, end of S5. This isn't Mal being Movie!Mal instead of TV!Mal; Movie!Mal is TV!Mal when pushed beyond the limits he's prepared to live with.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

But who would win in a fight between a Reaver and a vampire?

My money's on the Reaver, because at least they can master technology.

I'd like to see Buffy, River, and Fray all in one room.

Now I'm picturing Buffy, River and Fray sitting down at a tea party....

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'd like to see Buffy, River, and Fray all in one room.

Is there Jello in this scenario?

Of course, what else would they do? :)

Is there Jello in this scenario?

...or that works, too.

River only loses if Buffy and Melaka gang up on her. Maybe. Really, you can't overestimate the usefulness of being psychic in combat. Long as you're the least bit athletic, you will not get hit.

That said, I'd like to see it too, but for much less wholesome reasons.

Now I'm picturing River with a confused look on her face, analyzing Mr. Gordo.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

And is it wrong that, in the scene at the graves, all I could think was "DAMN, Gina Torres is HOTT!!!"?

If it is, then I'm in a very special hell. Because DAYUM, Gina Torres was smokin'. I mean pinged my Kinsey meter so hard I gasped.

Hey. New board.

Now I'm picturing River with a confused look on her face, analyzing Mr. Gordo.

Somebody needs to draw this. At the River/Fray/Buffy tea party. And I need a poster of it.

Get on it!
