Daria

Daria is a massive narcissistic cunt, that was the point of the whole show.

>>83326475
Looking back, Daria was a garbage person.There should be a crossover with Scott Pilgrim to have the perfect trifecta of horrible people that for some reason other people root for.

She was pushing people away before they had a chance to reject her she even states this herself in the show, why are you guys so dense?

>>83326475
excuse me

>>83327728
that's just claptrap though. as soon as she says that, someone else tells her it's not the case. we all got told that shit and it's like 'no, people just suck, i'm already being much nicer to them than they are to me'
but eventually we learn you have to be even nicer than that, because life will always shit on you for being better, so just go with it

as for you, OP, there is nothing okay about trying hard in gym class

>meet a girl who acts exactly like Daria
>like, as much as a real-life person could
>but she's absolutely dreadful and difficult to be friends with

I'm so glad I never had this show as an influence. I'm so glad I never became like this.

I watched this show as a kid and I didn't emulate anyone in it because im not retarded.

>>83327538
Thats probably why they brought tom into the show. He was enough of a weirdo for daria to be into him, but also enough of a normie to let daria know that she was kind of fucking herself.
By the end of the show daria does have more affection for everyone but is still herself. Its a show about compromise.

>>83328182
I thought it was a coming of age show, Jane was always more well adjusted than Daria but she still had to grow up or end up like Trent.

>>83328346
this is one of my favorite scenes

I like this part where Quinn tells Daria she's not shallow. She wasn't helping Sandi get over being fat yet, but she was there for her. Daria on the other hand is helping Quinn for money.

The point was that she didn't care about volleyball

Where does it say you're a narcissistic cunt if you don't care about high school gym class volleyball

ALSO: If you try and fuck up, then you're a nerd and you suck

If you just don't try, then you're still a nerd and you suck, but you didn't waste your time bothering to try.

>>83329499
And that pretty much summed up Daria, and the point of the show. If you don't try, you'll never fail and feel rejection. But that can't last forever.

Suburban alienation doesn't resonate with the modern sperg because he's grown up with the internet providing a semblance of community

They can't comprehend what it's like when your life is literally 1. your (maybe) one friend and 2. the one shitty tv show you like, that you have to tune in at 6:30 pm every day to watch, with commercials

>>83329557
jodie > daria
while daria just bitches about everything even tho she actually has a family and a good life jodie was pretty much abandoned by her parents and is competent at everything even becoming part of the track team for a while poving that she actually gets to reject something instead of covering up inadequacy with cynisism
the whole point of the show was that she was rejecting and alienating perfectly good people because she couldnt understand them not the other way around

>>83329657

-threadly reminder that tom ruined the show
-reminder that he destroyed daria and jane's relationship
-reminder that he ruined the male demographic by introducing a chad character that seduces the cute alternative girl

I thought the show was great over all the characters were really close to real people.

Daria was an entitled middle class suburb girl. She was really smart but because of that she acted too good for everyone. Obviously a lot of us are like this in High School but she was pretty narcissistic most of the time.

Tom weirds me out because he reminds me so much of myself.

I never really thought about it like that, but this is the same thing Salinger wrote about. I wonder if internet access making it impossible to be truly isolated has changed us for the better or the worse as a society?

I don't understand why they tried to draw like Mike Judge's art style since he wasn't involved and there was never a crossover. Who would want to draw like him?

>>83329578
>But that can't last forever.
Doing me fine so far.
by which i mean i'm a complete failure of a 20-something thanks to being one of those people who was just smart enough to never need to put effort in before leaving high-school, meaning he never had to develop work-ethic or get used to putting in effort with the result that when he hits the real world and is expected to try he crumples like a leaf. :^)

>>83336880
only time well tell, Anon

I was too young for this show. When I was 10 or so, I couldn't really see how each character in Daria is actually pretty balanced rather than just having a "creepy" or "ditzy" or "nerdy" or "loser" or "cool" kind of gimmick. It's really a cartoon you have to be a teen or older to appreciate in any way.

>>83337305
>When I was 10 or so, I couldn't really see how each character in Daria is actually pretty balanced

Most of the time the side characters are played as shallow stereotypes though, it's only occasionally that you'd see other sides of them, otherwise they really do come off as being that shallow. I don't care for most of it because most of the characters don't play off each other that well, even if it is clever sometimes.

>>83335829
/b/ is for cp not gay men.

Have you ever even been on /b/?

This show was such shit. I watched it first the first time about 4 months ago and I'll never watch it again.

Daria is a terrible bland character and everyone else was just annoying. There was a character I couldn't even stand listening to. I forgot who but she made me mute the show when she talked.

>>83337222

>never had to develop work-ethic

In fairness to high schools, there are lots of smart kids who also had a work ethic.

You and me're just lazy shits.

(or maybe we're both just THAT MUCH SMARTER than the hard-working smart kids, who knows)

>>83337583

i want to say most of them were kids who were dumb in first grade and wised up quickly, got school support [given more challenging work more appropriate to their ability] or were pushed to it by home circumstances, but that would be based on no evidence whatsoever.

it's not necessarily the case that we're still smarter either, just that we were smarter to begin with while they had to work to reach our level and then move past it, so now we're behind because we stagnated while they improved.

i'd probably still be a lazy shit if my schoolwork had been tailored, desu.

I never understood Daria's purpose back in Beavis and Butthead. She was always just there to basically be called a bitch by them and that's it.

took you 15 year to discover the point of the show that was obvious for everybody else. Congrats!

>>83331175
She's a secondary foil to Daria in a different way than Jane. She's as as intelligent as Daria and several times had shown she's can be as cynical as her, but she's aware of her tokenism and struggles with trying to prove herself capable for her own ends as well as feeling the need to be a good stereotype. She even admits she wishes she could be as detached as Daria

>>83337387
Have you?

I used to be just like daria as a kid, except when I become a teenage I tried really hard to fit in.

I wish I just acted more like daria as a teenager.

I have kind of gone back to acting like her unintentionally.

>>83341317
The point of the show is that she is kind of aspergers like and annoyed at everyone around her.

It's a real nice change from teen shows being about the most normie kids on campus.

>>83329772
The point was that she rejected idiots and the who acted like typical stupid teenagers and the school cared more about sports than education.

>>83328182
I can relate to jane a lot.


Her family is a lot like mine and I also love art.
