Faye and Angus: LTR?

<< < (4/19) > >>

Sharp:
I think that the relationship can work, and I really hope that it helps expand Angus as a full character. We need to know more about what he does outside of work and his moments with Faye and Marigold. (i.e. interacting with more characters) I definately want him to run into Sven one day, curious as to how he'd handle that.

IF the relationship were to end, I could see it being something like Angus moving for a new job or something, but I don't want to start writing fanfiction here so I'll leave it at that.

TheBiscuit:
I agree with BunnyThor. Angus as a character is completely uninteresting and underdeveloped. It doesn't really make any sense for Faye to be interested in him, and if the comic were proceeding logically I'd expect her to see that. As it is, I expect them to stay together for a very long time. There isn't a reason; there doesn't need to be. It's just been thrust upon them. They will enjoy a kind of artificial happiness for some considerable time. Monday's comic shows that they are getting along nicely.

The Seldom Killer:
I do wonder whether Faye is likely to make a lot more progress with her issues which will lead her to want to make up for some lost time in dating.

That isn't to suggest that she is "settling" for Angus or there is anyone better for her, but human curiosity might kick in and Faye hasn't always been the most pragmatic of characters.

Skewbrow:
Well. I'm not gonna give my avatar a goofy wide grin, 'cause I can't draw worth shit. :-D

I think that at this point we have seen about as much of Angus (if not more?) as we had of Sven by the time he hooked up with Faye. So I disagree with bunnyThor. If I had to nominate the least developed male character I would point at Steve. His air time has mostly consisted of making the contrast between his mildly stereotypical machismo and Marten's nice guy door mat easygoing dude act clearer. A good friend to Marten, an ok guy, but somewhat one-dimensional. Hmm? May be Wil is even closer to being a caricature as opposed to a character? May be I am unduly harsh on Steve?

It is true that we haven't seen Angus interact much with the rest of the gang. I hope that will change. Angus isn't Sven, he isn't Marten, and it is up to Goldilock to select a bowl of porridge (or go back to having toast for breakfast).

I don't know, if Faye & Angus' relationship will be "for keeps", "another step in Faye's healing process" or something in between.  I'm just sooooo relieved to see Faye happy for a change. Hopefully it lasts, but if the paddle steamer goes down the Niagara Falls, they will survive. I wish them the best of luck, and I'm gonna watch the story unfold as Jeph sees fit.

I certainly don't think so. Steve is far less of a developed character than Angus. We know a little about Angus, though not nearly enough. Just because Steve and Will are both under-developed doesn't mean Angus is well developed enough to make sense as a pairing for Faye though. I still agree with BunnyThor's main point which is that Angus was paired with Faye because Angus was available and Jeph wanted to pair off Faye.

After all, he's been pretty direct about his Ship Sinking agenda lately.
