Who thinks that Bangel is highly overrated??

Yea seriously! What is with them anyway?! People get carried away. I mean I could understand people liking them when they were together but now.. NO!

P.s. Doesn't matter cuz I never liked them even when they WERE together.

Seriously it really peeves me how Bangel shippers seem so close-minded and twist everything in their favor, like Angel doesn't get to love anyone else! News flash, first love usually isn't the real thing! It's naive.

Buffy may have been important to him but what he had with her was unhealthy and inappropriate. He stalked her and she responds by letting him climb through her bedroom window. If not for the vampire invite policy he probably wouldn't have sought it. It wasn't even a relationship it was a shallow, immature fetish and apparently the fact is completely missed that his eternal human age is 25 to her 16! There is a term for that: Statutory rape! It's illegal in the state of California!
Cordelia matured him from his creeper phase.

There was no development or sense of a bond/friendship between them so honestly, how do people buy it!?

Supposedly Bangel fans literally ruined Cangel for us because I've read that in the season 3 DVD commentary it's revealed that Cangel was going to become an official couple but it was scrapped due to a bad fan response. I don't own the DVDs so I can't actually verify this though.

I'm sorry but I just can't respect Bangel fans for this and for how their arguments are always so full of naive fantasy. I'm so ashamed that I was ever into Bangel. It holds the record for my briefest ship ever, but it still happened and that's wrong.
