Such moments were when Sid's "cannibal" toys were amassing around him he didn't even look fazed by this. At first, he went into a state of manic depression, thinking that he himself was nothing more than "a stupid, plain, insignificant toy", and also developed a bit of a suicidal side. However, his personality changed completely, especially after discovering the truth about himself.

But we're not on my planet, are we?" He is a little bit irrational at times such as attempting to save another toy from being blown up by the neighborhood juvenile delinquent Sid, despite not realizing that he would be destroyed as well but it also shows that he is quite brave as he was willing to rescue a defenseless person even if the odds were stacked against him. Buzz also possessed something of a vengeful side, such as attacking Woody when he tried to "terminate" him which was justified by saying "revenge is not something we enforce on my planet. Even Andy, whose favorite toy was Sheriff Woody and was completely obsessed with cowboys since kindergarten, went head over heels for Buzz who instantly became his other favorite toy. In Toy Story 2, while being attacked by another Buzz Lightyear action figure who also thought he was the real Buzz Lightyear, Buzz remarked in a self-conscious and annoyed tone: "tell me I wasn't this deluded."īuzz can come off as being charismatic and charming, most of Andy's toys completely adored him just after he was unwrapped. Since seeing the truth of his delusion, Buzz has shown a degree of embarrassment of it. Because of this, Buzz believed he could do everything that a real space ranger was able to do such as fly and that his "laser" was a deadly weapon when it was actually just a light bulb. In Toy Story, he was incredibly deluded and actually believed that he himself was the real Buzz Lightyear and would not listen when told that he's really a toy modeled off of the character. Like Woody, Buzz also goes through an evolution throughout the series.

Though possessing great leadership qualities, one of Buzz's biggest character flaws at times is that he can be rather unemotional. Though there are rare moments when he will bend the rules or tell a cover story if needed to when he knows it is the right thing to do. Buzz is known for his bravery and courage with a by the book mindset, believing the way people should live their life by following the rules. These are traits that he shares with his best friend, Woody, however, one could say that Buzz is better at keeping his emotions in check than the cowboy. “ Woody, we need to figure out what's best for everyone!” ―Buzz īuzz, like many characters in Toy Story, is a complicated one, who feels genuine emotions such as pride, anger, depression, and sadness, much like a regular human.
