Date: 2012-01-24 09:34 pm (UTC)I'm a Spike fan and I see no reason to doubt what he said. The guy was introduced as a really evil mass-murdering vampire - funny, charming, devoted to his girlfriend - but still really evil. Just because we are later shocked by Angelus being even more evil, is no reason to idealize and whitewash Evil!Soulless!Unchipped Spike. If Angelus was known as the worst vampire ever in the Watchers books, Spike was called the second worst. They were both more notorious and dangerous than your average vampire. It's like, just because the other guy is a bigger jerk, doesn't mean you're nice.
Spike's character journey wouldn't be as amazing if he hadn't started from being a really evil vampire.
