Boxing Daria: Difference between revisions

* In 2015, [https://decider.com/2015/06/25/today-in-tv-history-mtv-cancelled-daria/ Decider would write about this episode for their Today In TV History column]. "Daria actually reflected on her own sullen nature and how it affects the world around her. It wasn’t about Daria realizing she was wrong to view the world at an arm’s length and with a suspicious eye; just the kind of self-aware character development that animated series only really allow at rare intervals. Like, for example, when they’re ending their run."

 

 

*The inkblot test given to Daria as a child is the precursor to Daria's comments on the test in "[[Esteemsters]]."

 

*Daria says she wrote violent revenge fantasies at age 15 to "get a reaction", and her parents were called into school. We don't see this happening at Lawndale, so she must be talking about [[Highland High]]. We ''did'' see one such fantasy, the first [[Melody Powers]], early in to her arrival at Lawndale ("[[Cafe Disaffecto]]") to get a reaction from O'Neill, but her parents never hear about it. Daria has also twice at 15 or soon after told violent stories outside of school to get a reaction: "[[Beavis and Butt-head issue 10|Tales from the Dim]]" and "[[The Teachings of Don Jake]]". ("[[U. S. History]]", where she does a history report on the Kennedy assassination conspiracies, may have been a failed attempt at getting a reaction)
