After 20 years, Buffy the Vampire Slayer continues to have a profound and lasting impact on the portrayal of female characters in the media. At its core is Buffy, a complex and powerful female lead who defies traditional gender roles and expectations by simultaneously being both a high school student and a vampire slayer at the start of the series. The show is also celebrated for defying several genre tropes that not only subverted expectations in the late 90s and early 2000s but also laid the groundwork for more inclusive, complex, and nuanced storytelling.
