If Americans had to choose 11 mascots for the Olympics like Japan did, who would be picked?

Batman
Spiderman
Homer Simpson
Mickey Mouse
Darth Vader
Spongebob
Popeye
Ariel
Elsa
The Terminator
Superman

American "culture" condensed into 11 characters.

Americans love Nintendo more than Japs do, they are literally obsessed with anything related to Zelda. No way Link, Mario & Pikachu wouldn't be on there

>nintendo characters
>mascots for america

They can't be a representative of America if they aren't from America.

America is Nintendo country

Pikachu & Mario aren't American, replace them with Batman & The Joker

And Nintendo is not American. Therefore characters from its games cannot be a representative of America.

>took a overpowered alien from space

Mario and sonic

The only Nintendo character that might work is Donkey Kong because usually Americans develop those games. The others are japs.

Looking in from the outside, there's something massively pathetic about this. A country with as much history and tradition as Japan has willingly chosen to have itself represented by hyper corporate mascots designed for children. It feels like the country started in 1945.
Them two bomb really did a number on the nips.

>Mario and sonic
Are from Japan and thus can't be a rep of America.
This isn't hard you ignorant fucks.

Now you know how Yea Forums feels about nintendo autists. Its pretty much a cult.

Goku, Naruto, and Luffy I get, because their whole thing is working hard to push yourself beyond your physical limits, but I don't really get why the rest are there.

> Cure Magical & Cure Miracle are canon lesbians in the manga and were considered iconic enough to be added over Gundam or Evangelion
Based, Yuri-Chads always win baby

>American "culture" condensed into 11 characters.

You say that unironically as you post on a board that is 90 percent discussion of American TV and film.

Then you are retarded.

Gundam and Evangelion are small time compared to Precure.

Did japan have to pay to use those IP?

Bugs Bunny
Mickey Mouse
Superman
Batman
Wonder Woman
Spider-man
Captain America
Iron Man
Some Black Person
Some Asian Person
Homer Simpson

The state of American culture

True, it's like if they chose the avengers as mascots for the US olympics

really thought I Gundam had some significance

Why would they?

American culture is such a minefield that it would probably come down to filling racial quotas
>2 white male characters (Superman and Spider-Man)
>3 white female characters (Wonder Woman, Captain Marvel, and Leia)
>1 black male character (Black Panther)
>1 black female character (Princess & the Frog girl)
>1 latino character (Dora)
>1 explicitly gay/trans character (Korra? Maybe too obscure but the only cartoon gay I can think of)

And we would still all get angry about it and call each other nazis and sjws no matter what.

Really? Seemed still seemed quite big to me when I went over there recently.

In the grand scheme of things? Not really. Barely influential.
Its just a long and giant franchise.

*Should say 2 black male and 2 black female characters

>Baby
Goku is about 14 here

It does but PreCure is fucking huge in Japan, it's literally bigger than Mario now

That isn't Luffys deal at all. He gets more powerful as the plot demands but he's all about freedom

Based nips.
Precure is amazing.

Because they don't belong to the government. You can't take iconic characters and make them your mascot.

In Japan you apparently can.

America's not much better possibly worse due to the diversity element as pointed out by . One of the few constants of American culture from its inception and its end, is arguing about whether it's racist or not

Needs more Yuri though, DokiDoki & Maho were so good because of how gay everyone was.

You've never really seen a lot of mahou shoujo have you?
They aren't gay. They're just normal girls.

The mascots weren't chosen based on popularity, but based on who the event's corporate sponsors wanted. Not sure why that's lost on seemingly so many who keep going "durr, what the fuck is that ugly cat?"

Doki Doki was largely subtext, but Maho was the only one were they were explicitly made canon

>what the fuck is that ugly cat?
You don't know Yokai Watch?
That's what it is right?

South Korea and China are already threatening to boycott the games because Fuck Japan might as well be their national mottos. The last thing the Japanese want to do is step on any toes by including anything that might appear nationalist/imperialist.

China not being at the olympics would be a problem but, kek, who the fuck gives a shit about SK?
Everyone knows North Korea is best Korea.

I love how the Japs get the rest of Asia steaming.

We would probably choose
>A bald eagle
>George Washington
>A couple Star Wars characters, probably Vader and Leia
>Some superheroes, probably Superman/Wonder Woman
>Harriet Tubman
>Michael Jordan
>Babe Ruth
>Muhammad Ali
>Some famous scientist (I honestly can't think of one because all of our best scientists have been immigrants from Europe or Canada)

> Michael Jackson is literally more famous then everyone on that list
> Wouldn't be chosen because the Kikes hate him
Fuck this world

yeah they should do like all the other countries that make up a mascot on the spot no one cares about and everyone forgets when the event is over

autistic retard

I think it's mostly because he raped kids. But I didn't really consider musicians at all, I guess you could put Louis Armstrong in place of Michael Jordan and Elvis in place of one of the superheroes.

T. Kike Tranny

For starters they'd all have to be LGBTQOXE+ so any straight males are out of the picture.

Not sure if you struggle to read or if you're just plain stupid.

Not a jazz fan?

Nice to see my boy Astro up there

how is diversity bad?

That is Baby Goku. Figure of speech.

when goku was 10, on his first appearance, he survived a bullet to the head and lifted a car clear above his head and tossed it several feet.

What happened to Mario?
Wasn't he teased at the end of the 2018 olympics?

>shin-chan
absolutely based

kill yourself you fucking nigger

By all means, enlighten me.

>No Kamen Rider
Lame.

diversity the idea isn't inherently bad, it's what happens when you force diversity artificially (that is why they call it forced)
it's unnatural, people are properly confused when the 85% is made to look like 40% when it was the 85% that made the entire country up to this point

Gundam has a fucking university based on it where people study how to bring technologies used in it, such as O'Neill cylinder space colonies, into being.

Gundam not being chosen as a mascot is probably because it's actually a sad story deeply rooted in warfare. Evangelion is even worse in that regard.

>Donkey Kong is developed by americans
Holly shit, are you a double american? Because a normal one can't be this stupid.

fine what a bout banjo?

Retro Studios, dipshit.

>China rigs Olympics with ten year old gymnasts when they host it
>Gets buttmad that another country takes some pride in their history
Fuck Chinks. A Chinese boycott would make for a much more enjoyable Olympics.

Banjo is nowhere near as iconic as DK

DK is still the child of the fucking Zelda guy.

I see what you did there. 10/10 post

Hey now. Mario is from Brooklyn.

THIS IS FUCKING RACIST HOW COULD BRUCE LEE EVER LOSE A FIGHT TO SOME SPACE MONKEY FUCK

>no Mario
>no Pikachu
>no Godzilla
>instead put the mascot from what most people consider a Pokemon knockoff
>two literal who's
>and the kid from that one thing (below Astro Boy)
How the FUCK do you drop the ball this badly?

Irrelevant. The recent DKC games were made by Americans, so his point stands. It doesn't matter what Rare or Nintendo Japan were doing 20+ years ago. I wouldn't have even bothered responding if you hadn't been acting like such a cunt about it.

>Who the fuck cares who wrote the Lord of the Rings, it's a Peter Jackson story, right

This. They're hardly family friendly enough for the Olympics

Batman

I'm pretty sure it's Mario

>no Jotaro

>all anime characters

Really Japan? Is that really what they want to project as their culture to the rest of the world?

Isn't Donkey Kong from Detroit?

that is their culture

I think he opened the torch relay

While I was in Japan, Anime is plastered all over the place, from their trains to even an entire building having Jojo characters.
Its funny too because I heard that a good amount of the Japanese hate anime, but tolerable it because it make so much money.

Evangelion doesn't need to be a mascot because the movie 4 is showing in 2020. You will see merchandise every where
