Compare Loyce reaction to the body to everyone else?

Twenty years ago, when Buffy the Vampire Slayer debuted on The WB, it's hard to imagine anyone conceiving of what a phenomenon the show would become-a hit TV series, yes, but also a platform through which pop-culture theorists and sociologists alike could consider the dynamics of American teenaged life around the turn of the millennium. "Buffy Studies" have become a thriving faction within academia, while streaming services have kept the show on the contemporary cultural radar. In a media landscape where people continue to be surprised that teenaged girls engage with political issues, the idea of a perky blonde cheerleader being tasked with saving the world is still strikingly subversive.
