I thought that maybe the canon-verse couldn't handle sweet, innocent Willow being a killer so they resurrected Warren so she'll be free of that guilt.
I've heard that argument before, but I don't buy it. For starters, it's not like mean ol' Marti Noxon made Willow a killer without telling Joss; he set her up to be just that since... oh, season 2 or so, and had originally planned to have her go bad and kill people at the end of season 5. Besides, if I'm right, the point is that Willow still killed Warren. Still tortured him, slowly and methodically. Still ripped his skin off, obviously. Resurrecting Warren as a happy and well-adjusted human being who's praising Willow for what she did to show him the evil of his ways might have absolved Willow of guilt (at least from her viewpoint); turning him into even more of a monster shouldn't.
