Black Sword:
Aww, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other
I think the biggest problem with English is that there is only one word for "love" but multiple kinds. The ancient Greeks had the right idea when they used agape, philia, eros, and storge to describe the different kinds of love. By this point, I think Marten and Faye are at agape, but I can be wrong.
/wiki traps and TV trope traps set!

--- Quote from: Black Sword on 29 Sep 2011, 13:36 ---You instantly taking offense over trivialities fits "politically correct" attitudes, so if you dislike the hat, do something about it rather than call it a cop-out.
--- End quote ---
I regard "politically correct" as no more than an insult used in an attempt to delegitimise somebody else's position. In my opinion, it says far more about the people who use it, than those to whom they're attempting to attach the label. Use of the term is very frequently associated, as in this case, with asserting the privilege of deciding what is a "triviality", and feeling entitled to assign other people's concerns to that category. Pained demands to be given the benefit of the doubt, rather than taking responsibility for what is actually said, are another very common feature.

I hope your sense of irony functions as well as your sense of outrage, as you are currently doing the same thing to those who use "politically correct" that you allege they do to you. From experience, the ones who typically attempt to undermine the position of the people calling them out on their PC antics retreat to weasel words to make it sound like they've said something meaningful, attack what they perceive as "entitlement," and cast the appearance of taking the theoretical high road. The result is typically condescending and guilty of the same offense they say is being done to them. What you do with PC is just as bad as totalitarianism, if not worse. You are seeking to control thought through control of the very core of communication and force everyone to follow in lockstep with your dicta.
By the way, I did not make a 'pained demand' to be given the benefit of the doubt. I made a direct rebuke at your habit of leaping to incorrect conclusions and otherwise not bothering to follow up, confirm intent, and then launch an offensive.

I'm fairly sure thats me.
Not that I would want to start a competition, or anything. You can totally have the title if you want to.

SomeCanadianWeirdo:
If a live action QC went into production right now I'd say it's all but a given Michael Cera would be cast as Marten. Awkward protanganist is pretty much his market niche these days. He should probably do an action adventure film or something else against type.
Other things that would happen:
They wpuld cast Margaret Cho as Tai. Yep, Tai would go from being a boyish college girl to a 40 something woman.
If they included Raven in the movie her face piercing would move around, much to the amusement/annoyance of more picky viewers.
Pintsize would either be voiced by Billy West or by someone seemingly being cast against type. "Haha, the dad from Full House plays a little robot who swears a lot."(Bob Saget's stand up work isn't exactly clean from what I've heard, but most people don't know that.)

I noticed that too, and enjoyed it immensely... :-D
