Fandom Friday: Cordelia Chase and Lydia Martin: Popularity and the Supernatural


There are a lot of similarities between Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Teen Wolf besides both shows have a group of teenagers trying to save their small Californian towns from the supernatural. It's also worth noting that Bianca Lawson appeared on both shows. She was the slayer Kendra on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Marin Morrell the balance seeking Emissary on Teen Wolf. In my opinion she was so underused on both shows but that's a post for another Fandom Friday.


For this post I wanted to point out how Cordelia Chase and Lydia Martin both dealt with losing their popularity due to their involvement with the supernatural. Both were the most popular girls at their schools and both decided to take the new girl (Buffy Summers and Allison Argent) under their wing so to speak. However this is where things differ because Buffy ended up rejecting Cordelia's "friendship" and influence in order to be friends with outcasts Willow Rosenberg and Xander Harris making Buffy incur Cordelia's wrath and thus being labeled an outcast as well. It was later on when they all became friends to some degree.
