LIFE IS STRANGE | Max Caulfield Verses the Word

Published:

Description

Kate is one of the few people that I've cared about since the beginning of Life is Strange.  She's not mean or obnoxious or attention-whoring like most of the other characters around her, and best of all, she's not a pseudo-religious jerk who looks down on everyone from a high horse like most token Christians in fiction.  She's more like Alyosha from Brothers Karamazov: she tries to humbly spread the philosophy she thinks is right.  Then, of course, that video comes out and it all goes down from there (GET IT?).  That was an immensely inappropriate joke.  I'm sorry.  But seriously, she's one of the swankiest frumps in the game.

PUNOGRAPHY AND REFERENCES:
1. "Max Caulfield Verses the Word" is a reference to the series "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World"; biblical scripture is often called "the Word", and is split up by "verses".
2. Ezekiel 23 tells the story of two prostitutes who represent the religious disloyalty of Samaria and Jerusalem.  Look it up, gather your friends, sit down and start reading like you're trying to convert them or open a legit theological conversation about the reading, then savor their reactions as they become confused, frightened, and strangely aroused.
    2a. ^ I'm not sure if that's slightly irreverent or extremely sacrilegious.  I apologize to any Christians who happen to enjoy my comics about murderous teens.
    2b. "Tom knows the Bible?" you might be asking.  Yes, Tom knows many mysterious things about philosophy and theology and murder.  He's so attractive and intriguing!

Lol, as a Christian, this comic was hilarious. Kate is right though, context is key. Now that you point out how Christian token characters are portrayed often, I think I'll actually start to appreciate Kate's character.
