The straight man is essential! If, say, Leela in Futurama were just as nuts as everyone else, the craziness would just be "well okay this just a generally madcap world" but when you have someone responsible who tries to maintain their dignity while everyone around them is insane, it's comedy!<br/><br/>Which is why I like Darclight as this serious, world-saving type in a world of sea monster sushi, mad cats (and mad dogs, and mad rabbits), harem-bots and people literally sprung from the pages of comic books. A tree, if you will, an unshakeable bastion on which to hang a variety of shiny and/or silly ornaments.<br/><br/>Anyway, I heard there was a plan.
