letter about cordelia

over at scifi.com letters there is a new letter about cordelia

here

this is the same column that has the letter from the person who thinks charisma is not tall enough for wonder woman.

this letter is further down at the bottom of the column and is titled 'cordelia will be seeing you'.

good letter


eta:
penny, or emmangel, or florrie, i'm sorry, i posted this in the wrong forum, it probably should be in the cordyverse.

could you move it--thanks

The ltter about Cordy was written by Shadow who posts at C-C.com and I think he's a member here to. It's a great letter.

Nice letter, hopefully someone "in the know" has an opportunity to read it. I ALWAYS wonder if any of this fan feedback actually gets back to the right parties.

Regarding the Wonder Woman letter, how would that author feel knowing SMG is "eyeing" the role, all 5'2" of her...

If she's a fan, she'll only point out the good things. That's what i dislike about some fans, only pointing out the good things and thinking that the person is perfect and being so shocked when they do something that's normal like make a mistake.

Charisma, though beautiful and elegant and perfect in so many ways, she does have flaws and i don't use it against her but i acknowledge the fact that she isn't perfect and has several flaws.

Like...Um...A flaw of hers would be...You know...Um....

Screw it.

Great letter about Cordelia, it says that she was as important as Angel himself for the show and that´s right.

That's an ironic comment 'cos - Charisma. She's too good for the JW/Buffyverse schtick.


'Angel' used to be an original concept/show but after Joss' sticky fingers started weaving their reductive/Buffylite concepts....

No place for 'charismatic' female lead who could play drama, comedy, familial, angst and/or whatever was needed.

'Cordy' grew beyond JW's original conception of the character. She became a real, independent woman. That's why 'she' had to die.

That's why women aren't going to tune into Jossy shows. We don't grok the negativity.

more letters about CC at scifi.com (see url above)
including morrigan's answer to the wonder woman should be tall letter, and one other letter about cancellation i'm sure was written by someone here or over at C-C (it looks very familier), plus one from someone who doesn't like CC (this poor person must be ill)

[...]Every time she spoke in the last few seasons it was like hearing nails on a chalkboard.[...] Knowing the two characters, one can understand why Cordelia would fall for Angel, but I can not see why Angel would find Cordelia attractive, especially in her latest incarnation. [...] The show is a million times better now that she is gone. Thank you, Mr. Whedon, we original fans salute you.
EW. What crawled up her ass?

Anywho- yay to everyone who got printed!

Not to mention inattentive, or how else would the fact that it wasn't Cordelia "romancing" Angel's son escape her notice?

The answer is at the end: she's an original (quack quack) fan.

Your letter really was awesome, Morrigan. Bravo! Between your letter and that Michael guy's letter, that was worth having to skim the "original" fan's crap. Thanks!

Okay, obviously the person who wrote the letter doesn't have a clue. They think CC is girly-girly and that a former porn star would make a better Wonder Woman? Yeah, because that is going to happen. CC has NEVER been girly girly IMHO (SMG yes at the beginning of BTVS). And she definately has muscle tone. Did they not see YW?

Great letter by the way Morrigan.

This thing has turned into "Cordy Fans" versus "People who like S5"

http://www.scifi.com/sfw/current/letters.html#thetop

ETA: Oh, and waaay on the bottom, someone choses to insult both SMG's height and CC's acting skills when regarding WW.
