QC - The Movie
Is it cold in here?:
Mm. I'd forgotten about Harriet. I guess being an evil corporate overlord is a profession.
Carl-E:
At the very least, it's a full time job with benefits!

--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 23 Aug 2011, 12:48 ---The QC movie, if literally adapted from the comic, would feature an almost all-white cast, exclusively so in the case of the major characters, and only one woman in a professional job, who rarely appears. The male characters are relatively normal, but three of the women are in therapy. The African-American character works a low-paying service job and creepily pursues one of the white wimmen.
In reality Jeph is an enlightened and humane person who is not working to keep minorities down, but it would be all too easy to take offense at the QC cast.

Most movies have a pretty much all-white cast. Thats nothing new. The successful Harry Potter series had all its main characters as white, but no one complained. Or maybe they did, but not loud enough for me to notice.
Considering the majority of the QC cast work low paying service jobs, I don't think other cultures would be too offended about being left out anyways.

To me, it's less important what job the character holds than the character's function in (and therefore importance to) the story. The female characters drive the plot and character development in QC, folks. They're the important ones.
Carl-E:
True, dat. Marten is mainly a lynchpin, holding the social group in our sight, providing a connection between the other characters. Steve is comic relief, always has been, and I don't see that changing. Same for Jimbo. Sven seems to be the closest we get to a plot-mover, as a male character who's gone through some development. Wil and Angus tie for a close second in my book, but Wil has pretty much disappeared since he and Penelope went into stable orbit. Any other males are walk-ons, but I think Dale has potential, if Jeph would pursue it.
