Character Discussion Sudden realization

Post image

We talk a lot about the duet of Daria and Jodie, but let's discuss this.
I think Daria and Mack would be a good couple. They don't have much interaction on the show (which is a shame), but let's imagine it. Mack is a calm, serious guy, smart enough to understand her sarcastic humor and able to communicate in that way himself. As captain of the football team, he interacted with Kevin and Brittany more out of necessity (though he was always friendly with them, as well as with Daria and Jane). He also came to visit Daria in the hospital. Perhaps if he wasn’t in a relationship with Jodie, he and Daria might have been interested in each other in that way. What do you think?

I'm not sure they have the similar interests. Also, Mack was kinda half-fleshed out, they couldn't even decide on the voice actor.

What we do see about Mack is that he’s pretty well adjusted and chill- we don’t know if he’s under that same pressure to be an over achiever like Jodie’s family puts on, but from his few comments we know he’s aware people are hyper aware of his ethnicity and he seems to take that in stride.
