Interesting review by Patrick Alexander
Is it cold in here?:
Another error is confusing drama with bad things happening. A skilled writer can find and show drama in the daily struggles of humans. Others feel like they have to blow up a planet or ruin a character's life to achieve "drama".
There was more drama in the scene where Faye sits on Sven's couch and says her life is slowly but unstoppably coming apart than there would be in simply showing Something Bad Happening to her.
Alex C:
To be fair, Marten is usually such a nice guy in the comic that I could see how someone could interpret him as being a bit of a Mary Sue rather than parsing him as a somewhat stereotypical nice guy protagonist and resident straight man. Beyond that, many people probably wouldn't find a Marten the Sitcom Protagonist explanation any more satisfying than the Marty Sue explanation. As was intimated earlier, this is largely a genre issue. Personally, I find it to be a problem since I like the light comedy and Yelling Bird cameos, but I certainly wouldn't go slaggin on some random reviewer just because he has a different but still coherent opinion than I do.

I could give a shit about most reviewer's opinions about anything. I rarely end up with the same opinion on the subject anyway. I like reading QC and that's all that matters to me.
