After 20 years, Buffy the Vampire Slayer continues to have a profound and lasting impact on the portrayal of female characters in the media. At its core is Buffy, a complex and powerful female lead who defies traditional gender roles and expectations by simultaneously being both a high school student and a vampire slayer at the start of the series.

A young, blonde, and bubbly teenager who outwardly embodies the typical high school cheerleader. However, underneath this superficial appearance, there is a strong and resilient young woman who has fought her fair share of vampiric and demonic threats, keeping the world safe and preventing it from falling into another apocalyptic event. From the beginning, the series is filled with tropes and themes that are delightfully subverted in ways that audiences likely didn’t expect at the time. This places it at the forefront of feminist television media decades later, proving that young women can have the strength to fight against daunting odds and that strength doesn’t always need to be physical.Buffy The Vampire Slayer has produced iconic episodes over the years that have contributed to the show’s lasting legacy. Apart from its complex characters, narratives, and innovative storytelling, the series is also known for its unique approach to its main character, which embraces Buffy’s femininity while simultaneously showcasing her inner strength.
