Buffy The Vampire Slayer: 10 Things About The Bronze That Make No Sense – Screen Rant

The one and only nightclub in Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Bronze, is kind of confusing...

Buffy The Vampire Slayeris a classic of genre TV. It also begs a lot of questions, even today. One of them is how on Earth The Bronze ever made any sense. The nightclub was a central location throughout the entire series, a place where the Scoobies hung out, battled, and had some of theirgreatest and saddest moments. But some things about it don't add up.

Should the series be rebooted for television, which seems likely at some point, some things about The Bronze might be worth reconsidering. The logic of the club stretched credibility on more than one occasion. Actually, maybe every occasion.

Sunnydale is likely the only university town in America with only one nightclub. The Bronze was cited as the town's only place to hang out for young people which never really made sense. Sure, Sunnydale was a fairly small town with a population estimated at around 38,000 people. Even so, it was home to the University of California at Sunnydale and north of ten different cemeteries (which was just... odd).Then again, the gang did spend a crazy amount of time in Giles' apartment.

Another thing that makes no sense about The Bronze as the only hangout is that it's in the 'bad part of town.' This is never really explained, beyond the fact that it's near shipping docks and railroad tracks. By the way, both of those are indicators of a major industry that should have been reason enough for more than one club. If The Bronze truly was in a part of town that was prone to violence or crime, then it was irresponsible at least for the club to be there and for people to go. But the Scoobies were never famous for their judgment.

Being the only club around, it probably makes sense The Bronze is big. But there is really no justification for how big it is. The club appears to have been built within a former warehouse or factory space, which is sensible enough given its location. But it's big enough to house the entire population of Sunnydale. In addition to the stage - gigantic relative to similar real-world spaces - the club hosteda dance floor, pool table, balcony, andan entire second floor.
