On June 19, Jonathan McIntosh vanquished “Twilight’s” undead heartthrob Edward with the help of one Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
It was something that needed to be done, McIntosh said in an interview, calling Edward “a creepy stalker guy.” After the vampire’s obsessive pursuit of his teenage love Bella in last year’s “Twilight,” McIntosh was driven to act.
“Bella is not weirded out by his behavior at all, which made me think, ‘What would Buffy do to this guy if he was into her? What would she do if he snuck into her room at night watching her sleep without her knowing?’” McIntosh said.
As realized by McIntosh, he’d get rebuffed, mocked and, ultimately, a stake through the heart.
McIntosh, 30, a freelance Web designer and owner of RebelliousPixels.com, took it upon himself to pit the two characters against each other in a video he created using footage from the “Buffy” TV series and the “Twilight” film to show, well, an alternative -- and fatal -- ending for the love-struck Edward.
‘Buffy’ executive producer Marti Noxon said in an interview, ‘I’m a sucker, so to speak, for any vampire story so I’m a fan of the ‘Twilight’ saga, but it’s true that Edward hasn’t come up against a kick-ass woman like Buffy.’
‘I’m really glad that she didn’t end up doing the smoochies with him...’
