But then they write Some Version of Angel that is off center somehow, just a litle too mopey or not arrogant enough or doesn't have Connor front and center in his big forehead, and I cry real tears.
Yeah. EXACTLY. I'm glad some people feel the same because I was having difficulty articulating my point, there.
Oh, and you made me think, with the moping comment, I've noticed that bad writers who bash him write him as a self-centered jerk who thinks the world revolves around him. I've noticed that some good writers who don't understand him but *do* try, write him as a self-deprecating, gracious gentleman who's afraid his steps might hurt the flowers. WTF? How messed up is it when someone who's bashing him is actually endowing him with more accurate qualities than someone who's trying to do him justice? Seriously, WTF? Don't touch my creepy serial killer with those hands!
