Character whose viewed as weird or crazy has an episode dedicated to him and in it, he's the normal one while everyone else's personalities are exaggerated.

Or the quiet guy is actually very intelligent but never says anything because no one ever asked him.

and beserker forms. I love beserker forms. And woman undergoing transformation sequences. Sharper teeth, bigger muscles. Beast trasnformations are cool too.

Also whenever an episode is dedicated to my fetises/fetish.

Normal woman becoming gigantic and eating everything

Has to be the whole cast or it triggers my tism

Same. Best character in the show and Alan Tudyk is great.

He didn't actually try to do it, he just suggested they could.

Pic unrelated I hope.

He was the best character though. He had legit development.

That's one reason why I love Squidbillies, the abrupt endings.

He was! It's just kind of funny.

I wouldn’t really call him a secondary villain, the season zero stuff positions him as the big bad but then he got eclipsed by Kaiba’s autism.

Man that art is beautiful.

Yeah, but they kinda had to, or they wouldn't have any issues. Also, he seemed more opposed to violence after he started Chi Wizard training.

The best person I can think of for this is KND when Tommy and his friends invade Number 86's home

Is KND worth rewatching? I haven't seen it since i was a kiddie buy i remember liking it

I'd say so, there are some pretty good episodes, like the GWAR episode with Slamwitch, or the all the Number 5 episodes. My personal favorite was the episode with the turnip episode

People love it or hate it depending on the character and their actions as evil guys. There is a limit about the actions that a person is disposed to forgive (it can be a disaster if they cross that line but people around them consider them good). From the viewer point of view the story is being forced and it doesn't make sense. (if the case is very extreme they can hate it)

This also happened with lizard in the 90s

He "gimped" himself physically when he realized that magic is much more powerful. Then he set out to learn all about it by apprenticing under a master wizard. He's basically setting himself up to be a top physical power and a top magical power. He also realized that one has to have solid moral core. He is on the way to greatness.

>without fail it's always 90% shit that happens in anime and video games and not comics and cartoons

That works when OG villain is a sexy girl and they used to have a deep relationship with the protagonist, but if the original villain is a man in a sexual relationship with the hero both of them are hated no matter what.

It has TOO many conflicts, It's hard to find a readership for this comic.

It depends on the characters and the feelings or secrets behind them. It can be good or bad depending on these factors.

If the story contents too many other concepts it may be chaotic. More details are required. A son meets a father?

When did this happen in AT again?

Are they supposed to be demonized or considered good at a certain extent? both of them aren't possible if their actions are too evil. For example if two characters are rapers they can't be portrayed having good feelings (even worst if they are serials) they are very deep in the ocean. Rapers don't respect other people's feelings or bodies.

Even if they are demonized and at the same time the story tries to tell us that they love each other, people will not feel moved for them, in fact it could infuriate some people because their cruelty is too high (even worse if they are killers too).

I think the former would need to be executed very well in order to work. Super Paper Mario is the latter though.

I was thinking about Bishop and Stockman in TMNT Fast Forward and Vandal Savage in that one JL episode, but yeah, I guess Brainiac 5 applies

Way to go, George.

I like parallel universes where the good guys are the bad guys and the bad guys are the good guys. Bonus points if they have their own designs and names too and team up together.

>villains having good relationships with each other
>villains having fun being villains

The elites are pretty much an entire enemy type that embody that cliche.
Still a shame that Halo 3 didn't give you Grunt allies because they thought idiots would be confused and friendly fire on all their own Grunts. I always felt bad for those little dudes and it'd be nice to bro it up with them.

I vaguely recall from my Halo days that Grunts and Hunters weren't helping out because they were taking back their own planets from the loyalist factions of their races.

But that's silly because you would figure there would still be a few of them around to help out during the events of the game. Also there's the fact that Master Chief and pals were trying to stop the extinction of all life which is several degrees more important than taking back someone's home planet, especially when there's plenty of time to take back said planet after the galaxy is made safe.

But still that part in Halo 2 with the Hunter bros is fucking hype.

Based.

What about a super-villainess named Evelyn Deavor?

That TMNT movie Turtles Forever kinda has this. When the 2003 Shredder looks at everything that the 80's Shredder had at his disposal, like the Technodrome and UNLIMITED ROBOTS and makes everything far better and vicious.

This sounds cool, examples?

Young Justice is also pretty good at this

I wish they didn't wrap it up as quickly as they did.

It got axed mate, not much he can do there. do you want to see something that was also axed get wrapped even faster

Venture Bros does it the best I think.

This seems convoluted, hasn't happened, and like you are trying to write your own thing.

I had one of those at my high school. Tomboy was a fuckin bitch to nerd and they broke up. Nerd deserved way, way better.
