Over the course of its run, Buffy the Vampire Slayer introduced many great villains. The story of high schooler Buffy Summers embracing her role as the Slayer, a young woman fated to be humanity’s greatest protector against vampires, demons, and the forces of darkness, proved not just hugely successful but completely iconic.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is in theaters now, and Peter Parker’s (Tom Holland) fourth solo outing has already made box office history, surpassing Avengers: Endgame for the biggest domestic opening weekend ever recorded.
