Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
Do you like Faye, as a character?
UnidentifiedFlyingCupcake:
I think Faye is awesome, and in my opinion, she has been an extremely well-written, well-developed character thus far. But, I do agree with those of you who've said she seems to have stagnated a little bit. There's something a little off about the focus; it seems to me like it's time for some shifting--either a noticeable progression toward healthy coping (as we've seen hints of) or some earth-shattering event that forces her to get through her crap, once and for all.
That said, I'm sure Jeph has a fabulous plan that will astound us all and reveal his mysterious workings to be for the best. :P
Michael Nehora:
I've always liked Faye as a character. The only comment I have is that I'd like to see more of her therapy sessions and her attempts to put it into practice. I hasten to add that I wouldn't want her therapy to dominate the strip and turn it into a Woody Allen or Philip Roth dramedy. But given how central "The Talk," and the issues it raised, have been to Faye and to the strip overall, I do find it odd that we've seen only the occasional strip with Corrine. And generally, those have come right after a "crisis" point, be it "The Talk" or, more recently, Marten confronting Faye about her drinking. Off Faye goes to see Corrine, whom we see for two to three strips, and then bam! we're back to the usual CoD/apartment banter as if nothing had happened. No sense having Faye do therapy unless we see more what sort of impact it actually has on her, and her friends.
Dr Montalban:
Faye is fucking boring.
The "quirky girl with issues" bit can only go so far.
Now, if she was a real person, I wouldn't be so callous when referring to her psychological issues. I'd be more supportive of the shit that she's been through and all the emotional issues she's dealing with. But I wouldn't hang with her on a regular basis either.
This is supposed to be entertainment, and her shit is not entertaining.
ChristineIsAMormon:
I love Faye to death. She's what made the comic appealing to me in the first place. When she came into the picture, Maten's whole "I'm feeling sorry for myself" act was replaced with a new hope for himself. : D
Questionable Content will always be Faye's story in my eyes. Yes she has been a third wheel lately, which is extremely frustrating to me. This respite in the importance of her character has disheartened me as a QC addict. But I stay with the comic in hope that she will conquer her place in the spotlight again.
I don't like Dora and Marten together. They're too sweet, and without problems. The relatonship doesn't seem real to me.
I've always wanted Marten and Faye to be together..but if it does happen, it shouldn't for a very long time. Both of the characters need to develop and grow more before they can be. :-P
Tago Mago:
Haha, I think our clamouring may have influenced the comic. Now that we know Jeph will cave, we can make even wilder demands. :mrgreen:
