Tommy Sherman: Difference between revisions

Though he was a jerk, Tommy was not as bad as some fans (and fanfics) have painted him. True, he viewed women only as potential sex partners and was crudely outspoken about this. He also helped Brittany to her feet, complimented her looks, and did not become angry (much less strike her back) when she slapped him in the face. He took it in stride, called her a bimbo, and moved on. Doubtless the slap was not a unique event. On the other hand, when he met Daria and Jane, and Daria told him "excuse me", Tommy had the cynicism of interpreting these words of Daria in the sense that Daria felt the need to beg for Tommy to allow her and Jane to speak to him, when Daria simply told him that to go away and let Daria to open her locker, since he was standing right in front of it, and even had the nerve to answer Daria saying that he would never talk to her, then turn his eyes to Jane and tell her that with her "maybe, Like, four hours into a kegger".Doubtless, too, his come-ons sometimes worked. There are always more fish in the sea.
