One trope I'm not a huge fan of that I'm finding in common between Buffy and VM - it seems imperative that we understand the protagonist would be cool/popular, if not for such-and-such circumstances. I feel like it's a distinction that the showrunners need to be made for some reason, perhaps because the lead actresses look like lead actresses. But no such qualification usually applies for male characters.


I actually like this - it grants them social acumen and grace and all of the benefits of being a cool person without actually being part of the "problem" as we see it with the mean girls or whatever that we can setup as antagonists.

Veronica in Riverdale is a lot like this and I think she's spectacular (though I've only seen like the first episode or something)

I think it's generally more "okay" for a guy to be unpopular from being geeky or (especially) unattractive, so you don't see this as often. The loner bad boy who just doesn't want to be part of the cool crowd is kinda similar though.
