If Mike really is trying to help people in the most assholeish way possible in the current strips, he’s actually gotten WORSE in his attempts because now he’s become a direct cause of harm instead.Īnd hehad some pretty human moments with Amber in the later parts of their arc – the strip with him right after Donna is born, for instance. Any of his attempted sabotages of Walky and Dorothy’s relationship? All of them failed spectacularly and he stopped trying, and their breakup was for an entirely different reason. How about telling Amber she’s like her father? That was one of the catalyst points for Amber and AG getting dramatically worse in a very short period.

How the fuck is telling Ethan ‘sure you’ll be miserable in the closet, but you’re still better off there’ helpful? What helped Ethan ultimately start accepting himself was the get-together in Walking With Dina and Danny. And Mike has known these two for less than a full school year and is clearly still in the more casual school friend stage.Īnd I am really unconvinced that Mike is trying some kind of stealth helping people thing at any point in his trajectory this universe. Later Mike’s seen hanging out in the halls with his other friend. There is the dig at them not having other friends, but neither of them seems that shaken. Ethan expresses disappointment, Amber does not, Mike points out she does not.

They ask if he’ll come hang out for Amber’s birthday.

I think the only time any Mike (sober, drunk or child) was ever written as a person was when Shortpacked drunk him admitted that he messed up with Jacob and sent him on a path of self destruction.īetrayal’s stretching it. Everyone knows the cause of confronting the teacher or Blaine, but no potential positive effect exists from his actions, only negative.īut this boils down to probems writing people as forces of nature instead of even pretending they are actually characters. He’s already been quite open that he already likes gathering information about people and he’s already way more the superhuman/force of nature rather then a reactive actual person.īut back to the point, his actions have no benefit unless it’s testing, which is asinine for helping his acquaintances. It’s already been made clear younger Mike is already quite capable of making plans and psychological analysis and manipulation, but his plans don’t have ANY planned effect to them. Betrayal isn’t exactly a way lighter a moral crime to manipulating someones feelings.
