![]() ![]() ![]() It's not that I think she's unfunny, it's that I dislike that, "omg did I REALLY just say that! OMG I'm so awkward!" thing.Īlso with you on the deference to Kian thing. She's sort of fulfilling the Manic Pixie Dreamgirl quotient that every piece of media seems to contain these days. Wow, I am SO with you! I despise Zooey Deschanel for the same reasons as I dislike Enu, I suppose. On a related note, I also can't stand Zooey Deschanel in the vast majority of roles I've seen her in. Not that there's anything wrong with quirky women in real life, or in well written media- the problem for me is that too many writers will fall back on stereotypically "unconventional" tastes, forced social awkwardness, and overly affected mannerisms as a sort of lazy shorthand for quirkiness, and do it in a way that rings very false to me. I find most excessively cute, quirky, twee, slightly bumbling female characters in films, TV, and other media to be insufferable. Originally posted by Sarsben:I can definitely sympathize with the feeling, though I don't feel the same way about Enu. One thing that does strike me as being a bit odd is that everyone defers to Kian so much, and so quickly, but I suppose you could argue that's because of his expertise, training, and insider knowledge of Azadi affairs. Notably, the rebellion's de facto leader appears to be the Shepherd, who is a woman, and Likho and other men in the movement seem to respect her authority and follow her orders just as much as Enu does. As for taking orders from male masters, she's part of a rebel organization and not in charge, so it stands to reason that she would have to follow the commands of her higher ups. I definitely don't agree about Enu being a helpless submissive stereotype- she hasn't needed any saving in the game yet, and doesn't come across as submissive to me at all, at least so far. She's one of those rare characters that- for me at least- hits the right notes, and is easily one of my favorite characters in the series to date. Having said all that, I kind of love Enu. I can definitely sympathize with the feeling, though I don't feel the same way about Enu. (But in a game - I have to agree - that sucks.) In conclusion: Like in the real world, not everyone will seem likeable to you. ![]() forced a kiss on me even though I rejected her the first time. I don't dislike her as a person but I sometimes dislike her actions. Another brownie point.)īut I understand how you feel, because I don't like Anna that much. (She likes Kian and wants to know more about him. (She was happy that I didn't kill the soldier.) That fact makes me like her even more and the conversation you have with her on the watch too. What I also like about her is, that she cares about others. ![]() (Scene in the bar) If she wouldn't realize this by herself I may not like her that much either, because it would mean she has a very bad self-awareness and that would annoy me too. I think she's adorable, positive thinking and honest and she knows when she said something not so funny. Yes I had to sigh in Book 3 too.) For me those jokes and awkwardness only shows that she is kind of insecure? (my interpretation)īut I still like her. sometimes her lines are a bit cheesy or may seem to be forced but I think that's how her character is? She seems a little awkward around others and is someone who wants to be liked? (The (un)funny jokes she sometimes makes to appeal/impress (to) others, proof it. ![]()
