But Arcade wouldn't put a dress on, because it has less DT than his labcoat. And even then, it would magically become a suit when he put it on. /Pedant

Katys utter hatred for Miranda apparently warrants GIF shenanigans.

The hilarious part is that Miranda is the hardest teammate to kill.

[up]Yeah.

[up][up]Personally, I rather like her. She is a bit of a bitch, yeah, but that is kinda the point. Her whole is to represent the Villain Protagonist side you are taking on, after all. I believe most of the hate she gets is because she is pretty much the most important teammate, story wise, and your second in command (sorta). Even if you don't find her terrible bad, her constant presence may cause you to get fed up.

Eh... really, I wouldn't say she has a constant presence. Jacob is in more cutscenes than her.

[up]He does? I really don't remember (personally, I think he lacks presence). I am pretty sure she talks more, then. And that her cut scenes tend to be more important to the main 'subplot' (dealing with Cerberus).

Well, if anything, she is more present then, say, Garrus, even if Garrus is much more awesome than her.

Jacob shows up after every single recruitment. Miranda only shows up for Jack's.

[up]Oh, yeah, I forgot about that. But it wasn't about these scenes I was talking about. It was how Miranda is always there whenever Cerberus is involved (which make sense). And Cerberus is of huge important to the plot, so it Miranda is always there whenever the plot is advancing.

This is clear for the last mission, I believe. My memory is kinda fuzzy, but I believe Miranda talking quite a bit for this mission cut-scenes and pretty much taking the second in command role.

It's great because Garrus steps up as proper second in command should Jack have died during entry and is like "pfff no one is listening to you, shut up and let Shep dawg decide."

This is Katie's view on the subject, in any case.

Regardless of anything, I feel Katie accidentally turned Miranda into The Woobie in her comics. I mean, we only see her on the receiving end of the (as far we can tell) an irrational hate from her leader.

That's a good point. For those who have never played Mass Effect 2, it would look like she's just picking on her for little reason.

It might seem that way even to those who did.

I think the problem seems to be that Katie will always hate a possible/blatant Mary Sue judging from first impressions. She seems to have been put off of getting to know Miranda because of it.

I was put off from Miranda as an idea due to sue-first-impressions. And then I got to know her and continued to dislike her.

Fair enough. That happens.

I wonder who's more anti-Miranda, Katie, or Spoiler Warning?

One could assume that the broken glass would ALSO have wounded him, for the double subversion.

I remember that puzzle. Unlike Katie, though, I managed to figure out that this game won't involve any higher math before I brought out the paper and pencil.

Plenty of questions involve algebra, especially in games 3 and 4.
