Undeveloped Buffyverse Productions
The popular fictional Buffyverse established by TV series, ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer'' and ''Angel'' has led to attempts to develop more commercially viable programs set in the fictional 'Buffyverse'. However some of these projects remain undeveloped for various reasons: sometimes, vital cast members may be unavailable; alternatively, studios and networks which would provide capital for the spinoffs might remain unconvinced that such projects are financially viable. From 2007 onwards, many ideas for unproduced ''Buffy'' spin-offs found their way into canonical comic books. Ideas for ''Faith'' were utilised in Dark Horse Comics' ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight''; ideas for ''Spike'' featured in IDW Publishing's '' Angel: After the Fall''; and characters and plotlines developed for ''Ripper'' were adapted for Dark Horse's '' Angel & Faith''.

Antihero
An antihero (sometimes spelled as anti-hero or two words anti hero) or anti-heroine is a character in a narrative (in literature, film, TV, etc.) who may lack some conventional heroic qualities and attributes, such as idealism and morality. Although antiheroes may sometimes perform actions that most of the audience considers morally correct, their reasons for doing so may not align with the audience's morality. ''Antihero'' is a literary term that can be understood as standing in opposition to the traditional hero, i.e., one with high social status, well-liked by the general populace. Past the surface, scholars have additional requirements for the antihero. The " Racinian" antihero is defined by three factors. The first is that the antihero is doomed to fail before their adventure begins. The second constitutes the blame of that failure on everyone but themselves.
