Day 14: Favorite Female Villain
Glory is fabulous. She's honestly one of the best things about the fifth season, which is an incredible season. She kicks ass and doesn't bother to take names because she really doesn't give a fuck. Honestly, I adore her attitude so much. All she wants to go is get home, and look fabulous in the meantime.
When Glory finds out who Buffy is, her attitude is unique from any other villains we've encountered. She's disgusted: "I fought a slayer? How unbelievably common!" This attitude along with her entrance, which involves breaking down most of a wall, makes her far scarier than any villain Buffy's faced yet.
She's motivated by a pretty basic desire. Like Dorothy, all Glory wants to do is go home. The problem, of course, is that this would end the world. But Glory doesn't care. And she sees Buffy as little more than an annoyance, something to be swatted when it gets in the way.
Both her wardrobe and her minions are pretty fabulous, too. The leper hobbits are constantly coming up with new and inventive ways to revere the former god and provide constant comic relief.
Glory's end, which reveals Giles' darker side, is pretty fantastic, too.
