Angst... well we know what angst is. And a little now and then is good for character development and for making realistic characters.
Wangst is when you take it too far. Its a portmontou of Whiny and Angst, I think. A lot of characters have troubled pasts or personal problems or something. And we don't mind hearing them complain or agonize from time to time. But going into Wangst territory means they do it constantly. And if this were real life and we could talk to them, it'd be different. But just watching, no matter how justified, it just makes them sound like whiners.
