Multiplex (Webcomic) | comment |
Multiplex is a completed webcomic by Gordon McAlpin.Set in the (fictional) Multiplex 10 Cinema, the strip is an interesting blend of Comedy and Teen Drama, littered with lots of movie (and movie theater industry) commentary and criticism about everything from actual movies, to directors and actors, to the debates underlying certain documentaries. The various antics, misadventures, and industry-speak of the cast form the basis for a lot of the humor, and the entire basis for said drama (which thankfully comes in small doses).The strip manages to create a good balance between all these elements, interspersing the movie commentary and relationship drama between lots of gags, more than one video game challenge, and a good dose of character development.Despite its setting and the characters, it is very accessible, and the author is part of a podcast panel that goes into more detail on many freshly released movies, as just one of several projects.The strip also has several things which make it easier to read, including a fairly helpful comments section, with a "related strips" sub-section, and it is one of the many webcomics starting to use a "tagger," which lets the reader cookie the strip they were reading. | |

The Twink: Chase jumps into this role within a few days of his first homosexual experience. He then piles on the Camp Gay, much to the annoyance of the serie's other gay character, Neil. | |

Better as Friends: Jason and Angie came to an agreement that his atheism and her Christianity was something he was incapable of getting around, and for the sake of keeping him from bickering about it, they broke up. They're still good friends and hang out after work though. Jason and Devi cycle in and out of this over the course of the strip. | |

Hidden Depths: Everyone. Particularly: Angie: Believed to be an Emo Teen, turned out to be a Perky Goth who is a devout Christian. Sunny: Dumb Blonde cheerleader who dated Brian with major PDA and would sleep with him in the theater. Turns out she is also a devout Christian, becoming chaste because she wanted to focus on her faith, and aspires to be a social worker. Also, you should really watch out for her. Brian: The resident ditz. Turns out it was all a scam. Whitey/Dub: Seems like your average dumb stoner. Turns out to be a very talented funk & soul bass player with a bit more intelligence than his accent lets on. | |

Character Development: Jason's been opening his mind to things that he's never thought to even give a chance before, after coming face to face with the idea of having to work in a movie theater the rest of his life. He's been reviewing movies for blogs and going to see movies he doesn't expect to be good. Whitey went from the Pretty Fly for a White Guy stereotype to a well rounded, intelligent and talented person. | |

Multiplex (Webcomic) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: The first few years of the comic were significantly more filled with office drama. "will they wont they" romantic tension, lying and backstabbing, and villainous employees. These days most of the comic is focused on introspective examination of the characters growing into adults. | |

Stalker with a Crush: Keith for Angie. It gets so scary he ends up fired after he attacks Jason and frightens Angie. It's even hinted that he came back to get Jason with a butcher's knife, but aborted the plan when he found out Jason had borrowed the security guard's taser. Earlier in the strip, one of the running gags was Melissa's stalker, who was a much tamer version than Keith. He was more of an annoyance and faded away. | |

Paparazzi: Gretchen considers herself an "investigative reporter" in training. Really, she's just a completely unlikable gossip who is willing to sleep around and use minor blackmail to dig up dirt on the personal lives of her fellow employees. | |

What the Hell, Hero?: Becky chews out Jason for ditching his date because she was obnoxiously texting in the middle of a movie. Jason then responds by pointing out that Becky waited to break up with her boyfriend until immediately after she got one last sex out of him first. They then concluded that they're both jackasses. | |

Hollywood Atheist: Jason had a problem dating Angie because he is an atheist and she is a Christian, and despite the fact that she has no problems with his lack of faith, he was always the one to bring up the topic and try to fight about it. It's justified, however—Jason is argumentative and opinionated about everything, it's his major character flaw and was presented as such before the subject of religion even arose. | |

Over a year later, he finds out Franklin did just that and calls Melissa in the middle of the night to simply tell her "I hate you." Jason promises to stop using "gay" as an insult and work the kiddie matinees as punishment if he slips up. Three months later, he can't help himself when he sees Chase's new Camp Gay persona and decides working the kids matinee is worth getting in the gay joke. | |
