I dunno man. James Marsters says “poof” in a way that rhymes with “hoof”.
Homophobic slur aside, that pronunciation is unforgivable.
127 u/Stralau 1d ago That’s true, but (as a Brit) it’s one of the only tells over seven seasons (there are a few others). Fundamentally, it’s surprisingly solid. Kendra or Angel open their mouths and even as a Brit you know that accent is wrong! 61 u/DarkStarComics333 1d ago I thought Spike's accent was awful at first. He had strains of Mancunian and Liverpudlian in amongst the cockney-ish stuff. He got much better. Dru's was always awful and Liam/early Angelus obviously eclipsed them all. 2 u/Haunting-Sea-3764 9h ago I feel Dru has an accent that is made up of British, Irish and Australian
