Joss Whedon said of Cordelia in his DVD commentary: “Cordelia… is the classic evil high school bitch… The idea here was to set up that she would see Buffy as someone she identified with. In the movie, Buffy started out, basically, as Cordelia… the idea that Cordelia, the popular, mean, superficial one would…latch on to her makes perfect sense. And we wanted to sort of introduce Cordelia as somebody you thought might be nice, a little scatty maybe, but kind of endearing, and then turn it around and have her just lay into…Willow so that you realize, ‘Oh, she’s not exactly what I thought she was, either.’ And set up our sympathy for Willow, and also for Buffy, when Buffy gravitates towards Willow, clearly because she’s upset that Willow has been attacked.” |

I remember that episode ‘Angel’ where she stands beside the scoobies and then see a girl with the same dress… that scene is hilarious…
