Larm Hargraven:
Renee really just grates against a fundamental part of me and I think it's reaching a point I've gotta express that frustration. I get having screen time, I get being an unlikable character for the added depth of having a character that can be generally seen as a bother, and I even get that she has redeeming qualities. All of that doesn't matter to me anymore seeing her do a quick turn around Elliot. She's gone from a slightly negative person to straight up demeaning in today's strip with little reason to turn on Elliot like that. In fact, for a friend who's self-conscious, she seems to really like to hit them while they're down. Every bit of dialogue of hers denotes some level of venom or toxicity whilst driving to stir up drama or be overall ugly on the inside and is starting to happen so often that I'm not enjoying the comic. Worse yet, I'm feeling there's hints that she ended out of a very toxic relationship and that her attitude is all justified through it and when it's revealed it'll turn to "oh man that sucks, Renee, I feel bad for you."

Except if that does happen, I still don't think I'll ever end up enjoying her in any of the comic. At this point I genuinely get disinterested in anything she has to say or do and am almost glazing over her dialogue. Like I said, I get character complexity, but if you're a generally dislikable character, readership may go down. Now, this is just a personal opinion so I obviously can't state that Renee will cause readership to go down, but I've seen in the other WCDTs that there is a shared consensus on her being an all around downer on whatever's happening on the strip.

In the end, I guess all I hope for is that there's some sort of comeuppance for her behavior towards even straight up strangers or at the very least her realizing that she's not exactly all that hot-shit and witty as she thinks she is. Perhaps it's slight jealousy? Her friends seem to attract people while she is just there.

War Sparrow:
I enjoy that "He might not be a total asshole" translates into "nice" for Elliot. Apparently he is very accustomed to Renee.

QuestionableIntentions:
Calling it now, Clinton and Elliott will hook up.

Well, ignoring the movies. They suck....

The new one somehow involves King Arthur, apparently. I kind of want to see Stanley Tucci as Merlin, but not enough to sit through the rest of a Michael Bay Transformers movie.

TJOmega had actually asked for games that Transformers might do a crossover back in January, and I jokingly suggested Dark Souls. I was not at all expecting King Arthur. Though, apparently there was a G1 episode also involving King Arthur, and Dark of the Moon supposedly mashes up two diffferent G1 story arcs.


BTW, "That's just prime." was Optimus Primal's (Maximal leader in Beast Wars) catchphrase.

brasca:
Well the jury may be out on Clinton, but I think they tendered their verdict on Renee months ago. 

There's certainly some sitcom hijinks in that Clinton thinks Brun would prefer Elliot because he's a big alpha male caveman and Elliot thinks Brun would prefer Clinton because he looks cool and smart.  In the end both may conclude they don't have a chance and ultimately Brun will have to make the first move.
