@mrtun3rwrote:Ugh, why does everybody want the characters from Payback to return? They're awful. Tyler is just a Paul Walker knock-off that was mathematically perfected to be as dull as possible, Jess's entire character design pretty much screams "I was created by a feminist!" and Mac... well Mac is ok but that's only in contrast with the other two. The story is just a mixed bag of unnecessary drama, illogical behavior and cartoony villains.
I agree with your opinion of Tyler 100%.
I couldn't possibly disagree more with your opinion of Jess. Jess is a smart, sassy, strong, independent woman and that makes her sexy as all get-out. I guess some guys might be intimidated by that. I'm not sure exactly what you mean about being created by a feminist, but I can tell you this - she is quite flirtatious with the undercover guy she occasionally hauls around (I can't think of his name). Maybe some don't catch it because it's too subtle? Her personality has the most nuance of any character, and she is hands-down my favorite female NFS character ever. I loved her the minute she shows up in the prologue as the getaway driver and yells at the bank robbers not to bleed on her seats! LOL
I appreciate how they never give the remotest impression that Jess feels anything toward Tyler or Mac other than friendship and loyalty. Neither men are her type, and if they tried to hint at a romance it would just feel forced. Of course it wouldn't be essential to the story anyhow, so, again, I'm glad they didn't try to go down that path.
Mac is awesome as well. He has this laid back, zero F's given attitude, and the more arrogant someone is to him, the more he trolls them with humorous disrespect. Some of his lines in Speedcross are hilarious. Cliche'? Sometimes, but the lines are delivered with perfect comedic timing.
Jason Munroe (Barracuda): "They call me the Barracuda."
Mac: "Can I call you Barry?" - LOL Then he keeps calling him Barry from then on.
Munroe: >sarastic < "You must be proud."
Mac: >immediately retorts< "Not as much as my mum." LOL It's not even what he says but how he says it. His voice has this innocent, unassuming quality when he says it that totally pulls off the burn without sounding cliche.'
That's just a couple of examples and probably not even the best ones
Thanks for the Jackie Collins book club story.
If you're familiar with her spicy books of fictional love & romance novels.
You could easily see that jess is a drama queen in the game.
