WE ARE SO BACK, SPECIFIC SUBSET OF THE PHINEAS FANDOM
the days i am really sad i try to cheer myself up remembering that nishinoya got a canonically tiny tiny little hand
it always works
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!
kyman real
ok but rick prime was conceptually a genious move by the writers, i think. i know jack shit abouy writing but hear me out
our s6 C-137 rick is not the same as season 1 or s2 rick, he has matured, regressed, getting softer, angrier, older. it has been a commom complain by the dudebros that rick is not that badass emotionless characters that he was before, because in the latest seasons the writers are trying to explore how miserable and lonely the smartest man in the universe really is. he's not a god anymore, hes a pretty fucking sad dude that tries desperately to stay in control, and that has been getting on some fans nerves, apparently
some people really miss nihilistic asshole rick. but instead of regressing his character, they decided to create prime rick.
prime rick is everything C-137 tried to be. he's funny, unhinged, heartless, brutal, and the list goes on and on. he's what we thought season 1 rick was. and i think thats genious because now not only we can explore this new contrast between two ricks, but also is a huge opportunity for more badass cool fights
at the same time that we can keep developing c-137 rick as a character, we can also have a heartless, god-like amazing (prime) rick that was what we had in season 1 and 2. it's a nice throwback, especially because so far this season seems so much similar to the first seasons, except now our perception of the smith family has changed drastically. and now that we got this far, we can finally see them by old lights
it both pleases the character bunnies such as me but also brings in renewed philosophical tropes to the nihilistic tone enjoyers that also made a huge part of the fanbase. the dudebros can have their rick back
in season 4 and 5 the writers seemed confused with what they wanted to do with our beloved rick and morty - are they regressing or evolving? are they serialized? are they episodic? - and while i think s5 suffered more with pacing issues due to this indecision, i think they finally got the tone right. this season is so promising!! we only have 2 episodes so far (another one tonight) but i already have the urge to re-watch them, such a thing i didn't have every since season 3
not to mention an "evil rick" being our next villain right after "evil morty" is so damn cool, especially because prime rick is evil because he doesn't gives a damn, while evil morty is evil because he grew up in a system that does not give a damn. evil morty wasn’t the real evil, he was a product of it. and now we are facing the true evil himself, and i cant wait!!
so, overall. good play on the contrast, rick and morty writers, yall rock.
(also, at the same time they obligy our rick to confront his worst, "regressed" version, we also have our morty confronting his regressing version too, hence the second episode A Mort Well Lived. something tells me they are going to really deep dive into their development this season)
((they really seems to be making this parallels to season 1 and 2, ANOTHER EXAMPLE BEING THE WHOLE FAMILY BURING THEIR BODIES IN THE BACKYARD LIKE THAT SCENE WAS SO COOL I LOVE THEIR FOUND FAMILY SO MUCH WHAT IS THIS))
i do think its very funny how one piece is simultaneously more and less sexist than like 80% of shounen
twitter is oficially gone in brazil ill have to start invading peoples homes and screaming my thoughts into their faces
ah, the goals friendship
lmao i love how stan and kenny jump in
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.
i need more bakusquad content in order to be happy
