Even after all these years, Buffy The Vampire Slayer Fans find it difficult to describe the character of Oz, the musician Chill-Beyond-Chill Sunnydale played by Seth Green. It is not difficult to see why. Oz’s personality is completely Different from that of the other scoopies, and characters of foreign demons like Anya and Spike probably seemed a better adjustment with the gang than the Oz. It turns out that the script notes the script for the Buffy The episode “Inca mummy girl” perfectly explains the character of Oz by noting that Oz has “the kind of cool who is not aware of himself”.
Explain oz
Those Buffy The script notes help explain some of the apparent paradoxes of the character of Oz, including the fact that his sarcasm – a very determining character – has never been particularly cruel. According to the script, “there is a quiet restraint and a total lack of bitterness to [Oz’s] Sarcasm. “It may be the most obvious when you compare this Wunderkind Wolfy to sarcastic characters like Cordelia and Spike who always use their own acid hilarity to attack the people around them.
By the way, Cordelia was a counterpart of Oz for the first three seasons of Buffy By offering a truly nasty sarcasm as opposed to his sweet mockery. Once she left Sunnydale after season 3, the show brought Anya and Spike to pass the sarcasm of the show to the upper level. Unfortunately, Oz’s unexpected departure in season 4 meant that additional wickedness no longer had a counterweight.
Its beginnings Buffy The script notes of the episode also explain the character of Oz by comparing him to one of his musician colleagues: “where Devon is your typical excitable rock and roller, Oz is completely imperturbable.” Admittedly, this is highlighted by all the wild things that Oz takes on, including the existence of vampires and the fact that he is now a werewolf. Buffy Play most things to laugh, of course, but the truth is that Oz endure things that would break the brain of most Sunnydale residents, and everything without getting angry or frightened.
This brings us to the final note in this Buffy Script on the character of Oz: “It’s the kind of cool that is not aware of itself.” As a long -standing fan, it was the line that really explained to me the Oz agreement. In another show or film, Oz would be a consciously cool character like Jeff Winger Community. However, while Jeff’s ego force it to always be the center of attention, Oz has a zen -shaped calm that helps him blend into any situation or group.
For Buffy Fans are simply additional proof that the character of Oz, just like Buffy, Willow and so many others, is relatively unique in the television landscape. No other show (like or other) has managed to dethrone Oz with a new character who is acecastically sarcastic, charismatically cool and ultimately imperturbable. Even Buffy The Vampire Slayer Never tried to really replace Oz, which is why other characters who entered his role as former scooby Sidekick (like the anya and aforementioned Spike) had completely different personalities.
A few Buffy Fanatics could find these notes on the character of Oz a little obvious, but I thought it was a fascinating glimpse of the most mysteriously incorporated characters in the series (and convincingly). Oz has been written from the start as a kind of paradox: a sarcastic guy without being sarcastic, cool without being cruel and absolutely unconscious of the branch that he is really. And if we are all very lucky, the light of the next full moon could make us even half as cold as the most Wolfor rocker in Sunnydale.
