I love my girl
Sep. 4th, 2010 06:24 amI'm going to take a break from my Inception obsession to talk about one of my oldest fandoms, and my favorite character: Cordelia Chase.
In my opinion, Cordelia was the strongest character in Jossverse. She didn't have a personal vendetta, she wasn't a slayer, at first she didn't have magical powers, she wasn't in it for redemption. She wasn't called by destiny. Cordelia chose to be in the fight for good. She chose to drive her car into the high school to save Willow and Jenny. Even after Xander had cheated on her, she still stuck around to participate. She walked into Angel's life saying, "You need me, let's discuss my pay and hours."
When she got those visions, she fought them at first (understandably) but then she accepted them, even hid how much they hurt her and how they were killing her. Even though she knew that they were killing her, she refused to give them up, because that was her part of doing the good. Her one last chance at life? She used to get her man back on track.
The thing that makes me so mad about season 4 (well, other than the bullshit) is that she gave up her life because she thought she was doing good, only to have her body taken over by a THING that did a lot of evil, that did things Cordelia would never do.
I love you, Cordelia Chase <3
