It’s easy to miss all the fun writing and fascinating performances, but Buffy Vampire Slayer It’s a show full of names, especially for fans of the weekend’s favorite monster. From smooth sweetness to vicious silent gentleman, this is a show filled with memorable monster nicknames. In one case, though, it was a coincidence: When David Greenwalt wrote “Reptile Boy”, he was honored to come up with the title “Machida” as the main villain of the episode, without realizing that he was inspired by the Makita device made in the series.
Machida’s Buffy Origins
In this Buffy The plot is a particularly hungry demon who often gets human sacrifices from some evil fraternities in exchange for wealth and power. David Greenwalt wrote this memory, who admitted in DVD commentary that he was initially impressed by his demonic name. But later he realized that the show was stupid when using Makita-branded devices, which might be the subconscious inspiration for the Demon’s name.
at the same time Buffy Naming Goof will be embarrassing for any writer, as Greenwalt is one of the show’s greatest creative forces, especially for the people behind Machida. Except for writing a few episodes Buffyhe served as co-executive producer of the show before becoming the executive producer of Season 3. Angel Derivatives make Green one of the largest porters in Buffyverse.
Very interesting, this is the previous one Buffy Bigwig and Machida end Angel…or more precisely, the person behind Machida. In “Reptile Boy”, this memorable monster is played by British actor Robin Atkin Downes Angel The plot is “dead end”. The episode was written by David Greenwalt, allowing him to reunite with the man behind the monsters killed at the end of “Reptile Boy”.
most Buffy Fans know that while Machida did not survive at the end of “Reptile Boy”, his spirit lives through Avilas, the devil of Season 7 Episode 7 “Help”, they also provide wealth and prosperity for those who provide human sacrifice. Despite its great similarities with Machida, the later demons had nothing to do with the early demons. Interestingly, Machida was originally written in the “Reptile Boy” incident, and Willow had a route to his possible return. If this alternative finale is shooting, Season 7 may feature his Dimestore copy rather than Avila’s copy.
Buffy Senior David Greenwalt is sad that he accidentally named Machida after producing the equipment, but he shouldn’t beating himself… After all, many of the monsters on the show only have so many completely different names to use. And subconsciously inspired by your name countless times a week, even the best writers. Despite this, we can’t help but laugh and say that Machida’s name is one of the best early villains and probably the most important one Awkward The origin story of everyone Buffy history.
