Mack Mackenzie: Difference between revisions

Debate has arisen on a number of occasion over the issue of why Mack dates Jodie. Is it because they are among the very few black students at [[Lawndale High]], a situation implied several times in the series? Couldn't they find anyone else to date? This is the late 1990s in the series, after all. The few true-blue shippers'[[shipper]]s left in ''Daria'' fandom have taken pains to hook Mack up with other characters in [[alternate-universe]] or [[post-canon]] tales. Picking Mack's "best possible" girlfriend is almost a cottage industry in the fandom. Among those usually chosen as his new mate are [[Jane Lane]] (a popular one), [[Brittany Taylor]] (also popular, though she did irritate him in the series), and [[Daria Morgendorffer]] (a more difficult mix).
