Did you like Wesley on Buffy?

[Kratos]

I liked Wesley. Forgot how funny he was. He’s one of my fav characters and I watched most of AtS before BtVS, though, so that might be clouding my judgment.

Wesley- even though he's a character who is mostly there to get made the butt of the joke- does develop in Buffy S3; he gets quite a bit braver between 'Consequences' and Graduation Day', he serves to drive the plot forward at certain points (most of Consequences for example), he's actually quite sympathetic in 'Choices' (a very telling depiction of his character) and he nicely highlights how far Giles has come in those first 3 seasons.

Hysterically funny to watch on first viewing.

Warming to the heart every time I see him on Buffy.

I never really cared enough about him to form an opinion.

I did like how he tried to work at his job and sometimes how funny he could be. I didn't like his decision with Faith and Angel though.

 

[Btvs fan]

Wesley wasn't even a character on Buffy. He was just a plot device. Someone for Buffy to Rebel against and for somone to make Giles look cool by comparison against

Wesley was okay, I did like his interaction with Giles and when he helped with training Faith.

 

[TamsinValencia]

I didn't like him on Buffy at first, his personality didn't appeal to me.

 

[Moptop]

Yeah, I liked him.

He was a well intended guy who tried too hard and got everything wrong but his heart was in the right place.

I liked Wesley, I probably wouldn't think much of him if he hadn't gone over to Angel but in the end he's probably my favourite male character so when I look back I see him as interesting even on Buffy. Also he was always funny.

Wesley was on Buffy?! I don't remember  that scene!

I didn't at first, but after seeing him on Angel, I really appreciate how his character develops (even if always keeping a few core "Wes traits" for better and worse). And I just love Wesley's appearance in Doppelgangland.

He also makes for a good foil for Giles, and an interesting obstacle who doesn't feel just inserted strictly for that purpose. On both shows. He's flawed and well meaning (from start to end despite all the growth), but he's also as harsh on himself as he is others (his own father, though he shows less of this at first, and much more toward the end).
