On the other hand, saying Angel is objectively a cooler and better character because of all the babies he really did eat is... problematic And also takes the focus off the fact that he's a grown-ass vampire stalking a high school student

Twilight series made 3.3 Billion dollars at the box office so a Lot of people Did like it, The hyper success was part of what irked the critics of it. Everybody doesnt prefer grimdark. Fluff Entertainment can still be enjoyable.

The philosophical stuff with vampirism on Buffy was interesting because the soul/no-soul debate usually meant Angel and Angelus were referred to like they were two different people despite Angel's guilt, whereas Spike's behavior while soulless was still attributed to him.
