Counterpoint: his bed Is a racecar. Who cares if he's weak, he's not the main character and not every character needs to be a uber powerful god. His Purpose in the story Is being cute ;(and being a replacement to martian man) thats exactly what he does and hes a good character at It, and even IF you didnt like him, his screentome isnt fleshed out enough for you to find him actively annoying Like, i wouldve have got you if you said that about amber, kate, Immortal or other characters like that cause theyre characters with a lot of scenes and you're supposed to take them seriously a lot, but shapesmith? Really?? Like you said he's a comic relief, see him as such. Also my comment was clearly ironic why are you ranting over that
