Welcome to The Buffy Bump, a weekly treat for fans still obsessed with Joss Whedon’s groundbreaking series about a girl, a mission, and the apocalypses. This week, we revisit the series finale, ‘Chosen.’
“You know me – not much with the damseling.” – Buffy, ‘Chosen’
From the first scene to the last, the series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer maintains the central message of the entire series: Women are stronger than they might seem at first glance, and they really can save the world.
After all, the series’ whole premise is based on the contrast between society’s expectations of women and their true strength. Buffy – a name that “strikes fear in nobody’s hearts,” according to Xander in one episode – is bubbly, petite and blonde, a former cheerleader who looks more like she’d be too worried about her manicure to take down a vampire. But it turns out she’s the Vampire Slayer, a true superhero with special powers and a strong heart to top it off. She saves the world, again and again and again, with not just her outer strength but her inner strength, too.
