Buffy Star's Angel Criticisms Get The Spinoff Totally Wrong
Former Buffy the Vampire Slayer star Nicholas Brendon has openly criticized Angel and David Boreanaz, but he's got the spin-off figured all wrong. When interviewed for the book Into Every Generation a Slayer Is Born: How Buffy Staked Our Hearts, Xander actor Nicholas Brendon spoke about Angel and David Boreanaz, and he had very little praise for his former co-star or his successful spin-off.

"It was weird that Angel got a spin-off. Because how does the most boring character in TV history get a spin-off?", Brendon told author Evan Ross Katz. "Why don’t we break down Angel?

I’m not sure if I’m talking about David or Angel at this point now." The comments are very much in line with the alleged friction between the two actors, who fans have speculated were on less than friendly terms.

In fact, Angel is regularly cited as having improved upon not only its titular character from his time on Buffy, but also a number of minor and supporting characters that also had roles on the spin-off.
