But Buffy is totally way better! and Twilight's vampires are like stupid vampires like they don't burn in the sun like what's that all about? and they don't turn to dust! and they can see their reflection and apparently a vampire can live without human blood when they don't have a soul like what's that about that is so lame and stupid I think Twilight's ok but a lot of it is mostly stupid!
Yeah, Buffy and Twilight have A LOT of similarities as buffyl0v3r44 pointed out above me, but Joss and Stephenie Meyer made their creations their own despite this.
Buffy will always come first though. It is the original vampire "thing" to me! Nothing could compare to it.
The examples you gave are things not exclusive to Buffy, most are quite common, especially in the young adult fantasy genre. Plus, it's easy to paint stories in the fantasy/YA genre as the same if you actively hunt for similarities. One example I always use is Buffy and Harry Potter. Similarities:
Main character's name is in the title. Main character is a sometimes reluctant hero, thrown into the role of 'chosen one' by fate/prophecy not choice. 7 seperate arcs (7 seasons, 7 books). Main characters are a trio of friends. They met through their school. One of the trio has red hair. One is known for her intellect. Best male friend is comic relief, who can sometimes be unreasonable/selfish but cares about his friends and always eventually comes through. Has a poorer family than the others who he's sometimes ashamed of. Main female friend's family is featured less than that of the other two. At some point in the story the sidekicks date. Mentored by an older man who works at the school, but not as a regular teacher. Those aren't even all the similarities, there are quite a few more.
HP and Buffy aren't copies, but they can be painted as very similar, same as Buffy and twilight. The basic facts of a story are not what make it unique, it's what a writer does with them, and I think it's safe to say Joss Whedon and Stephenie Meyer did very different things. Joss created a rich, dramatic and humorous story, with strong feminist tones, deep characters, solid action and present danger. Meyer, in my opinion, created pretty much the exact opposite. Even if you disagree of my assessment of Twilight (not favourable, but not intended to offend fans, just how I find it) I think many would agree the tone is very different, the characters have very different attitudes and the writing styles are very different. I may dislike Twilight, but that doesn't mean I'll hold Meyer to a different standard of originality than other writers.
This reply ended up very long, not trying to sound ranty or debatey, just got a tad long winded explaining why I don't see it as a copy :)
I will also remind everyone that Twilight is written to be a ROMANCE novel with elements of fantasy where as Buffy is a FANTASY show with elements of romance, drama and comedy.
I do really like both but in my opinion Buffy is better.
I love Buffy WAY,WAY,WAY MORE because it has endless layers, it's deep and brilliant while Twilight is pleasurable but kinda meh.
