Anyways, my point was just that I can recognize my favorite characters' flaws. Can you? Miranda is far from perfect, and mostly just a useless and obnoxious control freak. Which is why I rank her very poorly overall. She may not be openly hostile to everyone, but she's certainly not friendly to anyone, dipping into snide and/or racist remarks to almost everyone.
Oh yes, I can. I don't think you can, given that you have yet to perform an actual demonstration of Tali's shortcomings.
Otherwise, this point is invalid. On radical levels. Miranda is far from perfect. She admits this herself. No sensible human being would admit that they're flawless or perfect. The fact that you're ascribing this to Miranda shows that you weren't comprehending her statements about herself and her upbringing. I guess we know where the intellectual deficits lie now.
There's a long bridge between acknowledging Miranda's actual flaws, and seeing her (objectively) as a useless, obnoxious control freak. You seem to be of the opinion that she is this on an objective level, and that any actual refutation or dissension of this is denial and stupidity on the part of the opposing poster.
And she is rather friendly, if you bother to try being her friend. Snark and dry humor (the 'snide' that you see) is typically seen as a more intellectual form of humor. I won't hold it against you for not quite grasping the humor then. As for racism, you're just plain dead wrong there. Miranda never gives any indication whatsoever to racist ideology or beliefs. If you're running out of things to use against her that can't be disputed, I suggest you not start resorting to creating accusations and false statements.
I fully admit her attitude towards Tali in the opening mission made me hate her. Not even just because I like Tali, but cmon, how rude, and more importantly, STUPID is it to accuse the known wanderers of not needing to be in the loop/shouldn't be there anyway, when you are a known terrorist, in a situation where everyones gone missing? Even Jacob points out its a better idea to work together. Then Miranda immediately tries to screw them over anyway.
Your entire justification here is that Tali is involved. That's about the only reason I can think that you're holding this against her - Because 'Tali was against her!' To be frank, the Quarians had no real right to be on Freedom's Progress, nor did they have any need to be in the loop on what was going on. Why? Because we didn't know who was behind the attacks. For all you know, the Quarians were behind the abductions.
Jacob is pointing out the idea of cooperation, not in defiance of Miranda, but in support of Shepard. Miranda never objects, nor disputes this.
And Miranda tries to screw the Quarians? How? She does absolutely nothing. Are you that conscientiously blind as to hold other peoples mistakes against her (like the Quarians)? How irrational. I imagine the Reapers are her fault in your eyes. That's the level of delusion that you've entertained here.
I hate how she's (self) promoted as genetically engineered "perfection" yet falls short in almost every aspect. Not particularly attractive, biotic powers are "meh" at best, poor leadership skills, (She's management material, not leadership material), rude to almost everyone she interacts with, etc, etc.
She's not 'self-promoting', she's stating her origin and the intent behind it (which is beyond her control). She doesn't agree with it, simply states that her father was an arrogant cad who wanted to have the perfect legacy.
'Not particularly attractive' - In universe this is completely untrue, and out of it subjective and not reliant on in-game belief.
'biotic powers are "meh"' - In universe, this is again untrue. Out of universe, she's designed to be a defender and armor destroyer in gameplay. Do not interject gameplay mechanics as justification for outlandish and unjustified personal opinion.
'poor leadership skills' - Again, in universe, she is regarded as an exceptional leader who the crew of the Normandy look up to. Sans a very biased perspective from Jack, this is demonstrated with the team as well. In-game, this is justified as she loses no member of the crew, and in ME3, she is regarded to be in charge of her own team of operatives after Sanctuary and using them to strike Cerberus installations. And as an Army Leader myself, I can honestly say that she doesn't display any real negative traits in leadership from what we see of her. She's follows routines that are practical, rational, reasonable, and feasible.
Lastly 'rude to almost everyone she interacts with' - I believe you mistake rudeness for bluntness. And you also see her interact with how many people? Is everything she says rude? Does she have any ability or right to defend herself whatsoever from others' attacks on her? I think you're more or less unqualified to make a statement on a character, given the obvious bias and negative presentation that is utterly disreputable to a character.
To take an old page, it's "headcanon". That's all it is. That's all you can do here. Make up things and complain about them.
How Davidian.

I liked her!
The rest of us can be fans, but not at the expense of our dignity.
Retour en haut
So yes I find Tali the cutest despite the mask.
Actually, I'll give you a suggestion: Pull field/radius pull or singularity. They're never not useful.
