That troll hammer...

I've seen a few comments recently on Buffy picking up Olaf's hammer - and how the fact that she could so easily when Spike couldn't lift it shows just how much stronger Buffy is than the average vampire.

Which I'm finding odd, because I always assumed it was because the hammer is a mystical item. So Buffy, as the Slayer, has special picking-up-hammer powers that are denied to Spike.

...am I completely alone in this assumption? Does everyone else in the whole world take it as Buffy being ridiculously strong compared to Spike?



(Yes, she's stronger than him. But not by that much...)

I think it's more in a "Angel is a bulkier guy, has more muscles" kind of way. Even vampires must have some sort of degree of differentiation, right? Angel beat Spike up on a number of occasions (FFL, most of Destiny), if that counts.
