QC and the Bechdel test

<< < (17/17)

CM_albion:
The issue with the test, i find, is that it was designed for movies. it works fine for movies, it hits rockier ground on other types of media. something as long running as QC with a continuous story is going to pass it eventually.  it doesn't apply well to continuous media like web-comics, if only for example that the conversation that would pass the test hasn't arisen in the plot yet. yet in the time pre conversation, does the comic automatically fail the test because the tester is judging an imcomplete story?

i find it weird also when people try to apply it to Video games. where conversations not essential to the main plot of the game very rarely happen in any context, never mind the bechdel ones.

bhtooefr:
For media like comics, where there's discrete strips, you could evaluate it on percentage of strips that pass the Bechdel (and reverse Bechedel) tests.

Screw it, I'm going to evaluate QC on that basis.
