Mack Mackenzie: Difference between revisions

Given the sheer number and tenacity of his antagonists, Mack's level of self-control is astounding. He puts into writing a long list of his difficulties as the football team captain in ''[[The Daria Diaries]]''. His New Year's resolutions in ''[[The Daria Database]]'' all involve attempts to control his irritation with other people: the relentlessly idiotic Kevin, the marginally less idiotic [[Brittany Taylor]], Ms. Barch, and his too-often unavailable girlfriend Jodie. It is significant that the only time in the entire show that Mack loses his temper is in a fantasy episode, "[[Murder, She Snored]]," inside one of Daria's [[dream world|dreams]]. (In a moment of rage at being called "Mack Daddy" for the umpteenth time, he whacks Kevin over the head with a golf club.)

 

===Drawbacks===

Jodie in "[[Partner's Complaint]]" describes Mack as being "bad with money," being overdrawn on his allowance since third grade. Mack finally pays his father back during ''[[Is It Fall Yet?]]'' and has enough money left from his summer job to take Jodie to [[Chez Pierre]] "once."
