I’m so glad I’m not the only person that was a little ‘Meh’ about the character of Mork. I’m the beginning I found his pursuing of Pi respectful, not so pushy, sweet even. However as the series started reaching toward the later episodes I noticed myself getting annoyed with his actions. The whole ‘fake lover to make the person I’m pursuing jealous,’ is overused, manipulative, and annoying. I feel like it’s just counter productive in a way (at least in real life situations it probably would be). Yes, Mork is successful in making Pi jealous but that doesn’t mean Pi couldn’t have (and rightfully so) began even doubting Mork’s feelings for him after he’s consistently pestered him about said feelings. Maybe it’s just me but I think if someone is confused about their feelings for someone and looks unsure or uncomfortable with that someone’s advancements toward them, that confused person should be given space to relax and reflect. Not manipulated by a plot ‘oh look at me I’ve moved on so quickly from you despite earlier in the day reinstating my love to you.’ The whole thing of Mork’s engagement with the ‘fans’ that fetishize a relationship between them two is also I feel is manipulative. And I’m probably gonna get some backlash for this but I started to see some of Mork’s actions as a bit obsessive….
