Talk:Susan Jensen/@comment-5109093-20140226073750

Susan's awesome; she's my favorite sorority/fraternity student, HSS being my favorite one of those! (She's followed by Sonia, Nadya, Nancy, Rhonda, and Rosie.) I got the plush version of her (along with Sonia, Nadya, Donna, Terry/Terri, and the awesome Dean Abby Hardscrabble!), and she looks pretty sweet next to my beloved Randall. ;)

Russian? Nadya Petrov would definitely be...the name Jensen would probably make this girl either Danish or Norwegian, possibly German. Since monsters have names just like humans, it seems that the regions of their world may correspond with our own nations. Some of the HSS girls do seem to have been given northern European-derived names.

It's a real shame that the animators evidently forgot to insert her into the Scare Game scenes following the library one. I guess she was always just somewhere 'offscreen' for the rest of the film, but since I kept looking for everybody and she was my favorite, that really stunk. All of the team members couldn't be in every shot/scene, but to totally leave her out must have been an oversight (especially since that lithe, nimble gal was one of their coolest designs!); I wonder whether the filmmakers noticed! Major 'whoops.'

Like, we don't see most of the competitors individually in the Don't Scare the Teen event, anyway...and as for the one in which HSS gets eliminated, we only see Sonia, Nadya, & Nancy being caught. We've got to assume that Susan, Rhonda, and Rosie also were, either before or after the three we saw. (The rules there aren't fully explicit, but in keeping with the emphasis on "teamwork," I figure that teams are eliminated as soon as all six competitors are discovered.)

Good on the HSS chicks, too, for seeming to be more sympathetic than most to "outcasts"--unsurprisingly. After all, Rosie and Sonia merely looked shocked during the OKs' "humiliation," but none of them were seen ridiculing or laughing at them...and then Sonia and Nadya were two students to whom we saw Randy offering cupcakes at the first party. Even at THAT moment of shame, they just kind of look surprised, shook their heads, raised their eyebrows, and/or chuckled slightly at the irony of the situation--but thankfully didn't crack up guffawing at the poor little guy.
