#I really like him in the reboot

[astro-duck]

In defense of DT17 Doofus!

He’s better, I’m sorry. I’m sure some people, especially if you grew up on the cartoons and are used to him, would disagree. But I’ve seen too many memes slandering Doofus Drake and I will not stand for it any longer.

1) He’s a foil to Louie Duck in 2017

He serves more of a purpose in my opinion. Characters don’t need to serve a purpose to be good, but Doofus in ‘87 wasn’t super impactful and when he was the center of the episodes, the could have been filled by someone else. For example, anyone could have found the crystal he finds in “Superdoo!” (S1 E52) and it would have a similar story. Louie desires to be super rich, so it’s good to see him compared to a kid who did get super rich very quickly (and kept his money). Him being really weirded out by Doofus works to show the audience how it could turn out if Louie achieved his goals long-term. This is especially true when you consider how he acted when he was briefly the richest duck in the world.

2) He’s less of a harmful stereotype

Now, he’s not not a stock character in ‘17, but he plays a different sort of character. Instead of being a fat idiot who really likes food, he’s a spoiled rotten psycho who will do anything to get his way. Both are stock, stereotype characters, but I’d argue that stereotyping spoiled rich kids is much less harmful. He’s also just more modern. The fat dumbass character has become less popular over time, where making fun of insanely rich people is all the rage.

3) He has more room for development

Now, he doesn’t change a lot because he’s a fairly minor character, but at the bare minimum things happen to him that are implied to affect his development off screen. His arc with Louie ending with him forgiving Louie for “ruining his inheritance” was certainly something. As well as his inheritance being halved in the first place by B.O.Y.D., who deserves it more than him. These things are the start of a significant change for Doofus, even if it just happens after the events of the show. OG Doofus does not have the space for that sort of development, because being big and really liking Launchpad aren’t flaws that should be fixed, they’re traits to be laughed at.

4) He’s just funnier

Personal opinion, but I like him more in DT17, I just prefer when he’s on screen to when Doofus87 is on screen. I think it could be because of my age and the shows I’m used to watching and the character types I’m used to, but I prefer the style of humor Doofus17 brings. Plus he has some of my favorite one-off gags, like the “What is he gonna do with umbrella and walnuts?!” Line. Technically said by Louie, but caused by him.

Final thoughts:

I think it would be funny to watch them physically fight.

Also if you don’t like ‘17 Doofus, try picturing that he’s not named Doofus Drake. Maybe if you stop looking at him through that lense, he’ll bother you less, because he is an insane departure from Doofus87. They aren’t even close to being the same character.

individual stills of miguel Scampering on all fours and showing off his more distinct individual movement style (that he has because of his spider-man's Similar-but-still-distinctly-Weird-and-unique powers as compared to the more-graceful Others) so that i don't have 2 keep rewinding the clip(s) to see it. im REALLY excited to see him scuttling and skittering all over the place in the film just like he does in the comics-- and, like, seriously, Miguel Specifically being just. made Massive for some reason in his atsv design will never NOT be funny to me hes SO freakin Bouncy why did they Do That.

don't be Weird on my post or i'll kill you for real

#talking tag #atsv #across the spiderverse #spider-man 2099 #spiderman 2099 #miguel o'hara #the question is rhetorical btw i am not actually asking that in earnest. #i Already Know the reason why. #many different combined factors that came together to simultaneously make one of his Best designs and ALSO make My Life hell. #but. sigh. anyways. it's really genuinely been bringing me a lot of joy to see this kind of loving attention to detail. yknow. #god. mig never Gets That yknow?? christ. forget abt the stupid Freaks for a second. hes a c-lister. an alternate costume in a game. a Cameo. #a side character who gets a couple lines of dialogue At Best and then his entire universe is rebooted nine zillion times Again and hes gone. #and marvel only ever brings him back to choke the life out of whatevers left #so.. Yeah. that he is going to feature so prominently in atsv IS actually kinda a big deal to me! i KNOW it'll never happen again! #i dont believe in posting while Angry which is why i have not been making as many Original Posts lately but. just. god. #im not like Actually A Danger 2 anyone im just hyperbolizing out of Frustration but #oh my FOD #there r some ppl on this site that i just want 2 kill with my teeth while screaming the whole while like a howler monkey. lordt.

as true as the jokes about “everyone wants to rewrite ninjago” are i feel like smthn people forget when complaining about the inconsistencies of the show is that…. it wasn’t planned? it’s not like most other animated shows lately - it didn’t start with a deeply fleshed out world or a meticulously designed pitch bible with grandiose plans for a long-term story or character arcs. the ninja don’t originally get their powers from heredity because they weren’t hereditary powers yet. the magic system doesn’t make sense bc they literally just made it up as they went! they go back and forth on stuff like whether non-elementals can learn spinjitzu bc it’s a collaborative piece of media made by people with vastly different levels of control over the story, the animation, the sets, etc. that varied over the course of the series. it’s totally understandable and exciting to see so many people reworking the early stuff with the lore and logic later seasons introduced but i personally feel that… if you’re doing that. you need to understand why the show is like that instead of writing it off as being bad and shitty. it was working with what it had. it’s only what it is now because of that awkward troubleshooting phase, not in spite of it

#ninjago #text✨ #you’re 100% allowed to criticize the show but i keep seeing people complain about the inconsistencies about like. their parents giving them #their powers especially. like yeah cool that wasn’t a thing yet? they have different origins than the non-core elementals #because in the real world that idea hadn’t even crossed their minds yet! the original story was a more traditional fantasy narrative of #normal people rising to the occasion and *gaining* powers through their own feats. the fact that they changed it later doesn’t mean #it was necessarily bad to begin with or that it’s something that should be mocked #idk just. there’s a lot of hostility in some circles about this stuff and it makes me kinda sad. enjoy the complexity of production and how #series adapt over time. it’s part of why the show is so interesting to me #that essay i wrote had a whole bit juxtaposing the attitudes about technology in rebooted and prime empire and how they reflect greater #cultural trends between 2013 and 2021. it’s SUPER interesting and yet a lot of people only talk about it to make fun of how ‘bad’ it was :( #this isnt to say i don’t enjoy some of the retcons. the changes to their meetings with wu in s8 are genuinely really interesting! i love the #changes to cole’s backstory. i think his mom makes him in the early seasons even better! i’m just saying.. be respectful? nobody *tries* to #make a bad show. ages and ages of time and dedication were put into what ends up on your screens. it’s all human love and creation. #as goofy as it is #okay sry got all anthropology there but hm. been thinking about this for a while. apologies for being the local annoying early seasons fan

Doodles while I binged the new s1. Can you tell who my favorite is?

I just really love the dumbass characters with big appetites, apparently.

#my art #animaniacs #wakko warner #his anime form is so DOPE I literally cannot get over that whole scene #dumbass took a bit out of his hat AND his own tail I love him #man this is one of those cartoons that really feels like home #the reboot does it justice i think

[emilyshiba]

the reboot was so right for this dynamic specifically

#more yakko bowtie agenda bc it looks so good on him #also #s2 and s3 were so good i felt like they were really getting the hang of writing them #manifesting their uncancellation until the day i die #animaniacs reboot #the animaniacs #yakko warner #wakko warner #dot warner #animaniacs fanart

1. Chinese censorship died a violent death 😂 

2. I love how each time Wu Xie roasts someone about being “silly” when they’re in love, Pangzi roasts him right back with “like you and Xiaoge are any better”. This happens a lot in the books, but it’s usually cut lmao.

3. Ouch I’m not crying bc of Wu Xie’s face at the end, no.

#pingxie #zhang qiling #wu xie #wu xie x zhang qiling #reunion the sound of the providence #lost tomb reboot #wang pangzi #pangzi scores lmao #wu xie got so silent so quickly I cry each time #I really do not get how this show got away with these #bc they literally used a romance for censorship to uncensor the main ship in a way it can only be considered a romance xD #I'm still falling on the floor idk how all of these scenes are real lmao #this is worse than the book even #he's so lovesick and he never even once denied it T_T #he's always like 'yes I am in love and yes I miss him' #I'm asdfghhddgjkgkbkjjjhjjjhjhjhhj #thanks for the gift fr I would't survived till the adaptation of the next part haha #pangzi my love #he's always like 'well look at you two dummies like you're any better' #Zhu Yilong #Cdrama

random post, but shoutout to 12 y/o me who got MW3 from her aunt one day and played it, expecting just to shoot stuff and not get into it… she didn’t know she had daddy issues even after clinging to every commanding officer in the game (sandman and pudovkin <3), and i didn’t know until years later that i clung to this stupid ass trio.

my boys. my idiots. my loyalist commanders. my war criminals. 2/3 are dead. 2/3 were ugly. yuri had no less than four missiles shot at his feet. nikolai’s face changed every single game. kamarov lived for drama and nothing else.

i loved them for no reason other than “teehee older man that i can substitute for my lack of father/older male figure.” yuri was silent 80% of the game. nikolai was perfect. kamarov appeared just to die. i didn’t even play MW2 or watch gameplay of MW1 until 2022, but i clung to this trio nonetheless 😭 soap, price, and team metal, as well (sandman my first love), but these three… special place in my heart.

(MWIII pics used BTC)

AND WE OFFICIALLY HAVE ALL THREE OF THEM IN THE REBOOT LETS GOOOOOOO

*sobbing on floor*

listen. listen. this doesn’t matter to anyone but me. i know i chose the worst group to attach my daddy issues to. in my defense, i was 12 and didn’t even know i had ‘em. honestly, “daddy issues” makes it sound too cute, i was a kid when i started getting comfort from these guys… call it father problems or paternal predicaments 😭

i’m just. look. i know how i look to an outside audience. i know how my blog looks to someone who doesn’t know me well; but, i’m not just fawning over every russian character. these three specifically, *tapping glass that they’re encased in*, are special to me. if i attach to them and pretend like they’d love me (romantically or platonically), then i can feel the love that i’ve never gotten from a father or an older male figure.

this is just a nonsense ramble because i’m so sleep-deprived, but you don’t understand. my boys are back and better than ever. nikolai eats everyone up whenever he comes on-screen. yuri actually gets to have a full name and cutscenes outside of “dust to dust”. kamarov isn’t ugly (gene farber 🙏) and they’re all just AKEHDKRJWJDKFJE.

i love them. i love the comfort they give me. i know it’s odd for me to cling to this trio of all people, but i have. my boys. my dumbasses. the reboot did them right. now, i just need them all on-screen at the same time.

i want them to have a podcast. i’d listen to it.

#idk i’ve just been in a ramble-y mood #ever since i got a serotonin dump from yuri appearing – i’ve been very happy #and with how bad MWIII was…. really reflecting on the OG versus the reboot lol #MW3 is a game i remember very fondly because it was my first COD game and the only one i played for several years #so the cast from it holds a very special place in my heart #team metal. price. soap. yuri. nikolai. kamarov. hell even the randos like sgt. burns. harkov. pudovkin. #and even makarov is up there; i HATED him at first. but then he praised me in a spec-ops mission and suddenly he was tolerable 💀 #there’s a reason why petra is dating yuri; best friends with nikolai; and good friends with kamarov #i just love them all so much 😭😭 #sylph.talks

Ah.

So therein lies the source of the competition.

#interesting. #barry and iris were missing at that time as well but it was 'wheres wally?' #this might be one of the very few times one of these isn't about Barry tbh #but i get it. Bart and Wally got pretty close right before the reboot. they've got a whole brotherly bond thing going on #so this makes sense for him. i mean just look at how Bart reacted when Barry came back. #he was mad because Wally was Bart's Flash and he didn't want Barry coming in and messing that up #so Bart is fairly protective over his relationship with Wally #and Ace? i mean Ace is Wally's brother. like literally. also Ace is Wally's Kid Flash. Ace is Wally's first Kid Flash #(Bart was an independent contractor) #so Ace has a mentor and brotherly relationship to protect #also on top of that? Ace had/has a mentor relationship with Barry that didn't go so great. Ace knows what its like for that bond to weaken #and he DOESN'T LIKE IT #so Ace has stake in the game. he has trauma and hes not letting this Flash go #actually really interesting because i thought itd be about Jay or Barry tbh with Wally being a mediator of sorts. #with him sharing about how he struggled with those same feelings and issues when he was younger #but nah hes the focal point apparently which is wild. thats kinda new territory. it's interesting. i like it #dc #dc comics #the flash #kid flash #wally west #impulse #bart allen #ace west #wallace west #one minute war
