* CityOfAdventure
* EldritchAbomination
** AngelsDevilsAndSquid

to:

* CityOfAdventure
CityOfAdventure: Sunnydale and Los Angeles
* EldritchAbomination
EldritchAbomination: Pretty much all so called "higher beings", from the Old Ones to the PowersThatBe
** AngelsDevilsAndSquidAngelsDevilsAndSquid: An interesting case is that all demons, including the SatanicArchetype, are squids or half-squid in their origins but no angels actually appear. Even the servants of the Powers are demons. Angels do appear in comics; Illyria fights against a FallenAngel Liandra and the AI team is contacted by a Potentate, who is actually a demon in disguise. CanonDiscontinuity is in force though, make it a SubvertedTrope.

* ContinuityOverlap

to:

* ContinuityOverlapContinuityOverlap: ''Buffy'' and ''Angel'' interacted so much during their respective fourth and first seasons that watching them in concert is almost a necessity to understand what's going on in either. This would continue to a lesser degree in later seasons; in particular season four of ''Angel'' had several hints about the events of ''Buffy'''s seventh (and final) season.

Added DiffLines:

* FeministFantasy: While feminists (particularly third wave) are happy to point out the places where Whedon's writing chops don't quite make the grade, they'll also point out that his work a) is intended to be feminist, b) actually ''is'' feminist 90% of the time, c) is miles ahead of most other television, and 2) is damn good television in its own right.

* GreaterScopeParagon: The ''[=BuffyVerse=]'' has the {{Trope Namer}}s for PowersThatBe, who hundreds of years before ''LiveAction/{{Angel}}'' created a prophecy regarding a vampire with a soul. However, [[GodsHandsAreTied they're unable to directly help the protagonists]] because their physical avatars got destroyed.
