Rule 63 The Big Bang Theory because of this damn post ‘-‘
Now I want this to happen
i honestly dont get why people dislike yellow. hes my favorite 💪💪 great engineering minds think alike
great analysis! but id like to give my two cents over the "least atletic" part, because its kind of true
i mean, looking at the fights closely, yellow heavily focuses on providing support and quick thinking over logistics. when he does attack its because its too convenient of an opening to not go for it
plus hes the worst at parkour. he literally found out about the command block trap because he kept falling too much XD
i don't think its a bad thing. hes a good fighter, just not extremely focused on it like TSC or red. bro has his own interests. people who call yellow useless are either children who just wants to see sick punches or, as you said, people jealous of yellow's screentime
my baby boy is too overhated
ooki, so here's part 1 and part 2 (Blue and Red)
This one is for Yellow :D
Also, I am thinking of ending this after 5 parts (after this we'll have part 4 Green and part 5 TSC)
...depending on factors I might keep going after part 5? Like maybe Purple or something? But uhh anyways...
SPOILERS AHEAD

Okay, so Yellow is essentially the resident "nerd" of the group. He likes redstone, command blocks, strategy games, and coding. He canonically has glasses as well (when his face is visible), and he is quick to implement his ideas, especially during battle.
Examples:
He was quick to throw his staff at the minimize button because he understood where Greenscreen was getting his power from.
He was quick to begin making a plan to escape the piglins (whereas Blue froze instead - check part 1).
Yellow is someone that can understand what needs to be done and do it efficiently.
But, er, sometimes...
...he can get carried away. His inventions and mind can get away from him sometimes and cause consequences for him and his friends. Prime examples of this are the lucky block episode - (he literally got POSSESSED because he took apart a lucky block and used the glowing magic orb thingy to make gifts for his friends) and the Actual Short: Upgrade, where his invention essentially destroyed their house.
But now I kind of want to talk about more recent occurences with Yellow. As most of us know, there was a comment on one of Green's vids that said that Yellow had lackluster acting, and another one saying he was useless in the skit, both hearted by Green. In my opinion, the "useless" portion is fine (the comment was probably talking about Yellow's role in the skit), but Green could have responded better to the one about lackluster acting.
And this got me thinking - Yellow's probably really insecure about this kind of stuff. He is already the least popular out of the Color Gang (and Purple, Chosen, Dark, King, and Corn Dog Guy) - I'll explain my theory as to why in a second (hehe).
AND...I've also been seeing a few comments and fanfictions saying Yellow is the "worst fighter" or "least athletic" of the group??? These mostly stem from his kind of unconfident fighting stance in this scene...leading to him getting clapped (even tho everybody got clapped without the weapons).
And now my theory as to why Yellow is liked the least.
In my humble opinion, all four of the fighting quad had roughly around the same in the beginning. Of course, Second is the main character, and he lives up to that title, so he'd obviously have way more fans. But each of RGYB have different personalities that appeal to different segments of the audience.
But we obviously don't like it if our favorite character isn't having screen time or any contribution...and we also don't like it if another character that isn't our favorite is getting more screen time. Like Yellow in Animator vs Animation.
He's the one who hacked into Dark's computer and brought Alan's cursor to the Outernet, and kept a level head while everyone else was freezing.
And he's the one being wanted by Rocket Corp, while the other three were cast aside. He has a larger role in AvA than Red or Green or Blue, and I think many of us kind of dislike him for that. Heck, when I first watched the Showdown, I disliked it slightly as well.

I know this one was less of a character analysis than the other two, but I really wanted to talk about this with Yellow. Feedback and additions are appreciated!
i think its funny how kyle spend like 25 seasons trying to make cartman a decent person and fighting him every step of the way but all it took for stan was a few tears and cartman was immediately saving that pangolin
this intrigues me, not only because cartman has been acting nicer in the past few seasons, but its proven in the post covid how he actually CARES FOR HIS BROS????! and besides the sacrifice rabbi cartman did, the pangolin thing was one of the only actual kind things eric has ever done. he gained nothing from it, in fact, HE LOST what he wanted. eric cartman gave up on his antisocial life so stan could live a normal life again. thats... unheard of?
also in cupid ye he just inserts himself in the situation solely because he hates seeing stan sad. Cartman has a soft spot for stan (and arguably kenny), but he is a piece of shit to both butters and kyle, probably because he knows the two of them can keep up. i think its nice how his fucked up mind works
hanging out with my narrative parallel !
I gotta say. One Piece is one of the few animes that doesn't provoke "canon is not real unless I like it" syndrome on me. I really love the story as a whole, I really don't need fanon all that much
There is, however, one detail I pretend I do not see: The timeline. Like, the actual timeline. How much time had passed.
No, I'm not talking about timeskip.
*Grabs Eiichiro Oda by his neck* What do you MEAN it passed ONE MONTH between the Reverse Mountain and Water 7?
No no, this can't do. You're telling me the straw-hats had been sailing for two months top?? Nah, nah, nah. You don't understand them like I do. IN MY OPINION:
East Blue lasted two months, maybe a bit less, maybe a bit more.
Then after Chopper they sailed for like 4 more month's to get to Water 7/Ennies Lobby.
Immediately after that came Thriller Bark. Skeleton acquired. Then they went on off screen adventures for like a month. (I refuse to believe Brook found friends just to lose them a few days later on Saboady)
The separation marked 7, maybe 8 months together. That's a good amount I think. I know they see each other 24/7 and that's more than enough time to create strong bonds but they spend 2 years away from each other. That's a lot of 24/7's apart. I want them to have time together.
Because it has been 20 years of One Piece and I still think we have few nakamaship moments. And that is saying something seeing the whole One Piece is one big nakamaship centric slice of life fanfiction.
ok here i am again with another meta analysis for rick and morty season 6 because of course my obsession phase isn’t over yet
apparently this season is a lot focused on the family smith. it was a big hypothesis when he only had the titles for the season to base our opinions on, but also when it started to air it was pretty clear ALL the smiths are the main focus on this season. the dynamics they have as a family, the nuances, the ups and downs, how they (dis)function - it appears to be explored very heavily this season. lately (a little bit in season 5 too) all five of them seem to be treated as a family, and not just a bunch of people that happen to live together.
which is nice, i really appreciate it, especially because they seem to mix that with sci-fi stuff and humor and honestly i couldn’t ask for anything else (i can’t be the only one laughing the shit off myself this season all the jokes are landing to me please)
my point is, i wonder if the reason why they decide to explore this theme so much is due to quarentine.
right now the smith family are stuck with each other. with the portal gun broken, rick and morty can only go so far in their own dimension, and since they can’t afford to screw things up, they really seems to be doing things tamer and less dangerous than before. in other words, they have nowhere to run and rick needs to deal with his family more often now.
this sounds A LOT like quarentine to me. you going a little bonkers, but also needing to deal with your peer’s crazyness as well. it’s the time you need to confront how disfunctional your family really is but how you love them so deeply you have no other option but to endure them. (i’m talking about non-abusive homes here, please). personally, i think i got a lot closer to my parents and brother after this hell, and it seems fitting the writers went through that as well.
considering season six was written during a more flexible but still real part of the lockdown, i find it a good hypothesis they decide to write the show analog to what was happening in the real world. the smith family can go to school, work, go out to ice cream, but at the end of the day there’s not a lot they can do but to be under the same house for long period of time - they can’t travel, they can’t pretend their problems don’t exist, they can’t go out often. they need to confront each other.
with this new premiere for episode 4, night family, it got really clear to me how they are willing to just dive deep into the family dynamics, making it more smith-centric. it has been a common theme that rick is acting more like a grandpa rather than a crazy asshole scientist lately, how beth is actually willing to be a good mother now, how jerry is finally being assertive about his place in his home, how morty and summer seems to have a more love-hate bond than just a i-cant-stand-you bond. they are still all fuck ups in their respective areas, they are still horrible people, but they are their OWN horrible people
also the fact that the smith family CHOOSE each other rather than just accept they need to live together adds a new layer to things. no one is from that reality, in the first episode they had the choice to be in their origin dimension if they wanted to and they’ve had tons of opportunities to just walk away before. after a long, long jurney with the same people since half the season 1 (and this jerry from season 2), we can say that the smith family aren’t connected because rick is a control freak, but because they do love each other and this is their burden to carry. in the end, family is a burden you can’t throw away, but it’s your burden and i love that.
and the fact that they actively made the choice to keep each other close is so much nicer than whatever the abusive dynamic they had in later seasons. it’s a found family, they became a found family even if disfunctional as hell. i love that
about this last gift, i constantly think about how cartman was the only kid afraid of the priests
@ccartman
Did any of us actually expect to be Rick and Morty fans? lol. I feel like everyone's story starts with "Well, I avoided that show for ages because the fans were terrifying and some of the world's douchiest people like it, but it's so popular that I decided I'd give it a try, and..."
Never thought I’d say this, but Rick and Morty now has one of the most unique found families I’ve ever seen, and it’s all weirdly wholesome that they decide to stick together (by burying dead versions of themselves in an alternate reality, might I add) even after being transported back to their original dimensions, even deciding to go get Jerry.
They really went and said, “We’re all bad people but we literally have no one else to rely on so Bless This Mess,” and I am here for it.
its the big 2025, im 22 years old and obsessed with phineas and ferb. i just rewatched the series and i think i wanna add my two cents to it
if the earth was slightly nearer to the sun, we would burn up, and if it was slightly away, we would freeze. just like this law, everything regarding doofenshmirtz is based on the "almost"
in the episode "this is your backstory", its shown that if perry and vanessa weren't in his life, he would have tipped the gnome and probably be a lot more evil than he was. we saw in the second dimension that evil doofenshmirtz is the way he is because of a goddamn train toy! one more tragic backstory and our doofenshmirtz would be a completely different person
thankfully the guy has morals, and thats what prevents him from becoming a dictator or succeeding completly. in fact, in an alternative dimension in which perry never developed a friendship with doof, doofenshmirtz would have turned himself into an truly evil genious in the episode "this is your backstory". if things weren't exactly the way they are, reality would succumb upon doof's fingers.
doof is very dangerous *because* he is a genius. but a genius limited by poor planning skills and his environment. if taken time to prepare, he would be absolutely terrifying! yes, OWCA needs to put their best agent to deal with him. the dude managed to move the earth's location with the PUSH OF A BUTTON, THATS INSANE. his inators are insanely specific and they always work, he can pratically mold reality as he wishes
what prevents him from being the same as the dictator from the second dimension is a series of coincidences that makes him the doof we love. but aside from charisma, the guy has insane danger potential.
The fact that the Doof had been paired and proved most compatible with Perry, canonically and repeatedly proclaimed to be one of OWCA's best agents in the field, is curious to me.
Some fics have a throwaway line or two talking referring to his compatibility with other agents. I think, also, about the canonical fact that he remains as third most dangerous evil scientist in OWCA's ledger.
I also like thinking about the fact that we have been proven, multiple times, in VARIOUS dimensions and fluctuations to the time space continuem, that were he not continuously thwarted throughout his career, he would not only have achieved tyrannical rule, he would have EXCELLED in it, and perfectly undefeated, EVEN BY HIS EVIL PEERS that people loved to pretend were always more competent than him.
Like. I think about that. Why? What makes Heinz so dangerous? What made everyone else incompatible to a point OWCA realized they needed to send their best, and he needed to be on call ALL THE TIME?
Curious
