I never understood how Bangel stans can call Riley BORING when Angel is literally Mr. Cardboard himself

Angel didn't become interesting until he got his own show, the only time he was interesting on BTVS was when he was Angelus in season two.

Angel with a soul on BTVS is Mr. Cardboard himself just like Riley is and if we're gonna talk about acting David Boreanaz in season 1 was just as bad as Marc Blucas was in his two and a half seasons on Buffy.

Prior to turning into Angelus in "Innocence" he was just the vampire version of Deepthroat from the X Files only he was a vampire with a soul.
