Faye and Angus: LTR?
parvles:
Oh I definitely agree about his treatment of Marigold. Big plus. I guess it's hard for me to change my initial reaction to the character, even though he's been established as a much different kind of person than how he was originally presented.
jwhouk:
I suspect that the sarcasm was a learned behavior. Perhaps all the snark he heard at that "super-fancy prep school" he went to in HS.
Carl-E:
I think the prep school may be one of the things that turned several people off. There's deinitely been an increase in the discrimination against the "preppy" class in the last few years - especially in the media, where they're often depicted as assholes.
Of course, that's because they frequently are. But that's stereotyping...
Sharp:
Well, most stereotypes DO come from the most visible qualities of any given group.
i.e. More Assholes show up in TV than nice people. Some of those Assholes are preps, thus giving an impression that preps are assholes.
BUT, this is not a sociology class so I'll stop myself before I start talking about stuff I have no expertise in. I think that the dislike of Angus comes from a combination of his shakey introduction as an annoyance, sunken ships, and people taking his comments as if this was NOT a comedy comic, where foolish remarks can be forgotten as wuickly as they are said. Also, his backstory is not as interesting as the other characters and he seems to be much closer to an "everyman" than Marten is.
Phatcat29:
I think, as we saw in their most recent shenanigans, they're not really prepared to go much farther than dipping their toes into the pool to test the water.
It's like my first time, where the expectations were too high, and came crashing down through noone's fault but my own.
And back hair. DAMN YOU BACK HAIR!!!!
