I used to think Wesley was the most annoying person in tv history ( while watching Buffy) then on my first watch through of Angel I started liking him , then he became my favourite character in the show after that he became one of my favourite characters in TV history and I legit cried when he died still not over it if I’m being 100% honest
Wesley may be the most evolved character on any show ever. He was largely a joke on Buffy and an educated but comic relief character early on on Angel. He became a combination of Clint Eastwood, Gary Cooper and Terrance Stamp in the late seasons.
I just got to season 4 of Angel and Wesley is one of the most compelling characters across both series, I love how he developed from a coward to a cold-hearted bastard, vengeful and competent.
Wesley really is one of the best characters in media history. You know, regardless of what he has done in Season 3 (which shaped him into who he is now), he really did show how much he cares about Angel. That's a true friend imo.
I was always more focused on Angel himself. But this video made me realize that Wesley also speaks volumes to me own struggles in life. Thanks for the video!
Wesley was my fave character. Not so much on Buffy, although sometimes he was hilarious. But on Angel his character development was just epic. Thank you so much to Alexis D for portraying such a powerful character. ❤❤
Wesley will always be my favorite character. Since Buffy, I thought he was funny and goofy but somehow deep inside I knew I was gonna love him. I understand how insufferable he was in Sunnydale but in Angel, he had the best character development. He was a man with no powers but his intelligence and loyalty is what brought the team to overcome many obstacles. His failures and near death experiences made him stronger and when he betrayed the group thinking he was doing right because of a false prophecy he was cast aside and that changed him making him bitter and defeated, hard but with a sadness that’s human. He became a badass and when he was accepted back he didn’t revert to his old self but kept the feelings and grew with pieces of who he was and stayed loyal to his friends until his end. Truly an amazing character.
Very nicely done... A true work of love, and pain and regret, redemption and new beginnings... And the entire journey they took this character on. It is a great story told very well with what you put together. Reminds me why I liked this show so much. Thanks.
Other than possibly adding the parts between him and Faith in Angel, esp after she tortured him and he broke her out of jail to hunt down Angelus, I can def say he had great character development in Angel
Oh wow... Just checked out your channel and this is absolutely beautiful! You got a new subscriber. You chose each song perfect for each story arc. I love how you seamlessly interwove all these quotes and even included ones where they talked about Wesley, but he's not actually there. You almost made me cry at the end of the "Comes and Goes" part. Really emotional and beautiful edit. In my eyes you showed his journey perfectly. And this is the first video of this kind that I see for him. He see deserves this! You totally showed why he's one of my favourite characters and that he's got some of the greatest character development ever. Such an awesome job!
*While I loved Wesley a fellow fan pointed out to me, his gaslighting the team not accepting responsibility for his part in how things played out. There is even a video where the fan picks apart his argument, lopsided view of how things played out. Hell there is even a scene where in Angel's FANTASY his best friend apologises for stealing his son from him, that is actually heart breaking & infuriating at the same time because at the end of it all Wesley STILL never apologised.*
I always love Wesley's character development but it always gets me every time seeing his death on Angel😢 I know the Angel comics him and Fred are ghosts at Wolfman and heart😢 I just wish that we didn't have comics I wish they were just converted into a spinoff for continuation of the series. The stories so great just like how it's kind of weird that in the comics Dawn and Xander hooked up and they end up getting married in San Francisco together on and off but they have kids together I can get that you know like they ended up together they weren't that different characters who wanted to do everything to protect the ones they love without powers. Characters who were mistreated and not shown the proper respect that they deserved for trying to do the right thing all the time always being told that they were weak when they weren't . Ex like in the final season Buffy look at Dawn she fought better than the potential Slayers against those axe dudes... I always thought it was weird that that whole Willow spell to find potential hit gone it's later discovered that it was a mistake yeah Mistake by Joss Walden..
Remember when he shot that employee for not helping him with the Fred situation? Or anyone when he stabbed Charles in the gut for his involvement? Such a departure from when his first “fight” in sunnydale.
@@blademe Yess!! Definitely, I'm working on a video tribute about Angel and then it is Spike turn so yes. Also I'm already thinking songs for a tribute to Buffy(my fav) hahaha
Hi!!i there where people in the comments that pointed out that one of the dialogues that I put in the video had a term that is offensive to Romani people so I put it private, I might edit it again and cut that part or something
@Nobody5.16 It wass at the beggining of the video and because english isnt my first language i didnt notice that it was a offensive term but still i dont want it in the video for obvious reasons.

God, this deserves so many more views. Captured perfectly the journey of buffyverse's most tragic hero
Thank u so much!!! Sorry the audio is a little rough

And his arc scares the hell out of me.
Yeah and unpredictable.
8:52 "What happened to you, man"
"I had my throat cut and all my friends abandoned me"
Nearly as bad-ass as dive-shooting two guns at "The Beast".
Wesley really is one of the best characters in media history.
You know, regardless of what he has done in Season 3 (which shaped him into who he is now), he really did show how much he cares about Angel. That's a true friend imo.
I personally love him and believe that he did the right thing with Connor, obviously it would have been better if he told Gunn or Fred about it
@@tatianamaranoedits4184 yeah, true.
Wes still has my favorite character arc. Not just from the Buffyverse, but all media. Great tribute. Made me cry.
Thanks
Wesley really has one of the best character arcs, and one of the saddest, every time he got close to happiness it got snatched away from him.
I was always more focused on Angel himself. But this video made me realize that Wesley also speaks volumes to me own struggles in life.
Thanks for the video!

Heart-rending. I have tears. Glad I found you.
thanks!!
Thank you for this tribute to the most tragic character in the Buffyverse.
My favorite character from the Buffyverse. I miss this show so much.
This is soo great! I really love Wesley, he's actually one of my favorite characters from the whole buffyverse and in general actually!
Thanks!!! :)
I was hesitant when I saw Wesley in Angel but my God. What a character arc he had.
Yess same like I was happy to see him but sad about Doyle
From an idiot into one of the best character and complete badass. :D Great character development.
Very nicely done... A true work of love, and pain and regret, redemption and new beginnings... And the entire journey they took this character on. It is a great story told very well with what you put together. Reminds me why I liked this show so much. Thanks.
Thanks I appreciate it!!
very very good edition from a very very good tv shows!
One of my favourite buffyverse characters.
Poor Wesley, one of the best tragic characters, and criminally underated. Very good edit of his story, loved the ending.
@@lisamars86 thanks!!
There goes my hero.
This is a beautiful edit for one of my favorite characters. It genuinely brought me to tears. Well done
Thanks i appreciated!!

This is why angel Tried to erase everyone's memory so they can move on to a better life
They all suffered for his mission. They were his real friends in life.
I love this so much, Wesley was such a good character. Season 3 wrecked me honestly. Love the video!
Thankss
The single greatest evolution of one character in live action. He had anime level growth as a character.
Wes was the best. Stellar character. You could teach a class on character development with just his arc.
Love this

Music volume should be 10-20% lower, otherwise this is great.
Thank you for this.

Please balance music 😅

What is the music used? It captured so well the many ways Wesley went from that annoying watcher to a true leader and warrior against the Darkness
Thanks, the first one is instrumental and the otrher are
Waves-Dean Lewis (song 2 de 3)
Far From Home -The Raven (Song 3-3)

Please credit the songs you used. I would love to check them out.
Awesome video
@@matthewpople9639 thanks
Could you also make one of Angel? Please
Hiii!! Actually I made one of Angel but I had to take it down I'm going to try to upload it again without the problem that I had
What Happened to your Story of Angel video you had?
Hi!!i there where people in the comments that pointed out that one of the dialogues that I put in the video had a term that is offensive to Romani people so I put it private, I might edit it again and cut that part or something
It was great video Tribute

Your choice to edit out a visual of the talking hamburger is disappointing! Great video =)
The music renders this unwatchable.
Oh buddy, you tried so hard. What a tragedy
Gawd this music is awful. Lyrics? Blehhh. But Wesley's arc is one of the best arcs ever. Right up there with Zucko.
