exist Buffy Vampire SlayerNatural disasters are one of the few threats to our nominal heroes No Face to face as she is busy killing vampires, demons and other dark forces. But, one of her most memorable enemies proved to be inspired by two sets of volcanoes. exist Buffy The Inca Princess in question was inspired by mummies on the volcano in Peru, and the God on the Mountain demanded her sacrifice from an episode, which is “Inca Mummy Girl”.
If you need a quick review, go: In “Inca Mummy Girls”, Buffy and Scoobies have to deal with a soul-attracting mummy that is in the form of a sexy exchange student. The Mummy has an incredible story about her life that she never thought of, but that doesn’t change the fact that she is an existential threat to Sunnydale and everyone beyond. Buffy and his staff had to stop her, but they and most fans did not realize that the compelling character was based on Mummy Juanita, an Inca girl whose body was discovered on the dormant volcano in Ampato in 1995.
This real-life mummy was discovered two years ago Buffy In the premiere, “Inca Mummy Girl” portrays the Zhou monster with great sympathy, thanks to the corpse found in the volcano. Researchers determined that the girl was only 12 years old and was sacrificed by her people to soothe the gods. In this episode, the mummy girl is a princess who was chosen by her people for sacrifice…a life willing to replace her young life with someone else’s life.
The killer was moved by her story and regarded the princess as a kind spirit, and her life and death were chosen by troops that she could not control. Interestingly, this Buffy The plot never really mentions the volcano itself or Mummy Juanita being the inspiration for this memorable character. So fans may never guess that the second volcano helped shape the Inca Mummy Girl into one of the better early plots of the show.
Although he never appears on the screen, the “Inca Mummy Girl” mentions Sebancaya, an Inca mountain god who was supposed to sacrifice. This character is based on another volcano in Peru, Sabancaya. Interestingly, while Ampato is a dormant volcano, Sabancaya is Positive One makes sense…after all, it is the ability to destroy everything around it, usually with the greatest sacrifice from ancient people.
One of the reasons fans love “Inca Mummy Girl” is that villains are very different from the usual uppers and demons, and our favorite characters can sympathize with, but ultimately have to stop. this Buffy The villain himself is a bit like an active volcano: beautiful, majestic, able to leave and kill countless people while wearing a hat. Considering that this is a franchise with the actual gods as villain, we can’t help but ask whether the Inca gods are real in this universe and the enemies that Buffy had passed the powder to the princess that day.
This may be more threatening than the killer can handle. But we can only guess how Buffy himself would respond: “If lavender happens, then beep.”
