Correct, but it's interesting that she asked Angus for the sports section of the paper in 1772(and let's not drive ourselves crazy trying to figure out why Momo would read a physical newspaper).

Holy shit she's tall... Or Marten is far shorter that I'd have thought. Do you guys know any female characters in QC that aren't tall? lol

That's just Momo. She is still culturally Japanese and that's in keeping with the manga style she's drawn after.
Sure, Momo may be knowledgeable about Pokemon, but could she tell you, off the cuff, who played Running back for the 1986 L.A. Raiders?

...Marcus Allen?

--- Quote from: wrwight on 09 Sep 2011, 09:13 ---13 year old girls develop crushes. He didn't say the feeling was mutual. He was setting up a comedy of errors in which Jim gets the wrong idea about Marten. I don't see this going that way, but it is very sitcom-esque.

Marten does seem to have some sort of attraction for childlike women seeking a big brother figure. That's if you consider Hanners and Momo a suffiecent sample size, and it doesn't explain Dora (or maybe it eventually will ...).
Well, that's my hypothesis and I'll observe further.

Seems like there could be a lot of overlap between what attracts people who are inexperienced to the point of being childlike and what attracts people with chronic insecurities.
Marten's just a good grounding force. Got his feet deeply rooted in reality, he's mellow and helpful, he generally sounds like he knows what he's talking about, never makes a big deal out of the shortcomings, failings, or screwups of those around him. Always listens and knows just how to diffuse an emotionally turbulent situation.
I can see that he'd be equally attractive to both types of people. The same characteristics that made him invaluable to Faye also make him awesome for someone like Hanners.
