Hi, I'm the Rap Critic. You don't have to like my opinion, but I... wait, what the fuck am I doing? Hey! It's me, Wumbo. I used to review music on here. You all seemed to like that, so thanks to the Powers That Be (Zaid's King Neptune Request), i'm back at it again, here to give you my Top 10 Worst Hit Songs of 2024! Or, Bottom 10 Hits of 2024, as it were to be titled like the others. And because no bottom is complete without a top (you're on a SpongeBob forum, stop snickering), I will also be giving you my top 10 Hits of 2024! When? I don't know! But it is definitely coming! God, 2024 was such a great year for music! I can't wait to... Well... that's not a 2024 hit. Yeah, as you've probably heard, Billboard year-end charts are more fucked up than ever since they suddenly decided that Christmas songs of all things count! So I'm probably going to have to find another method to determine what actually constitutes a "hit" in 2024. We're going to focus on the real hits of the year. That means no Christmas songs, no songs from August of 2023, just the hit songs that we all remember from 2024! That's right. Every entry on both lists is going to be the Hawk Tuah remix.

Here’s a preview of a hit new show coming to Nickelodeon. 1a. Help Needed Deep down in the ocean, the audience is introduced to a small little town known as Bikini Top; a narrator with a British accent muses on the wonders of undersea life. The British Narrator introduces the audience to both Bikini Top and SpringBoob SquirePin, one of his favorite sea creatures. SpringBoob is sleeping in bed in his pear home before his alarm clock goes off, waking him up and cheerfully greeting his pet snail Larry. He's eager to get ready for the day that he is to apply for a fry cook job at the Musty Dab. He warms up by lifting a weight with stuffed animals before jogging to the restaurant with his iconic "I'm here!", while encourages him from his coconut house. SpringBoob starts talking about what job he will do when he reaches the Musty Dab, but feels like his reach is not ready. Jatrick Scar then appears, encouraging him that he was born to have a job. SpringBoob eventually decides to go to the Musty Dab to get the job. Squidlard Tortellini sees SpringBoob running to the restaurant, causing him to panic and to tell Mr. Dabs to watch out for SpringBoob. SpringBoob has already arrived, though, and he tries to get Mr. Dabs to give him the job after jumping back and forth across the restaurant after tripping on a loose nail. He tells Mr. Dabs that Squidlard will vouch for him, but he tells him that he does not believe SpringBoob should get the job. In response, Mr. Dabs tells SpringBoob that if he gets a seemingly nonexistent hydro-dynamic spatula, he will get the job. SpringBoob then quickly runs to the BarnacleMart to get it, as Squidlard and Mr. Dabs laugh, thinking he will not have the job. Soon after SpringBoob leaves, five buses filled with a bunch of hungry eels arrive at the restaurant, making Squidlard and Mr. Dabs panic, as the latter knows what happens when eels come. As the eels flood the restaurant, Squidlard tries to get them all settled, but they're still crazy. It seems the two are both finished due to the flood of eels, but then SpringBoob arrives with the hydrodynamic spatula he found (as there was only one in stock), having fulfilled the errand Mr. Dabs gave him and leaving the two in stunned surprise. SpringBoob goes into the kitchen and, in a montage accompanied by Soulja Boy's “Crank That" cooks many Dabby Patties then tosses them to all the hungry eels until they all feel satisfied and leave the restaurant. Mr. Dabs recruits SpringBoob as a fry cook thanks to him saving the Musty Dab from the eels, much to Squidlard's chagrin, then goes to his office to count the day's profits. Then, Jatrick walks into the restaurant and order a Dabby Patty, prompting SpringBoob to create a slew of patties and chuck them all at him, flinging the former out. Squidlard tells Mr. Dabs to go see SpringBoob and possibly get him in trouble for the mess he made. 1b. Leaf Blower Squidlard goes outside then spots a shell on his lawn. He kicks the shell onto SpringBoob's yard to keep his own clean, but SpringBoob is also very protective of his lawn, and gets out a leaf blower from his garage to get rid of it, the noise of the machinery making Squidlard irritated. SpringBoob, struggling to blow away the shell, ends up blowing it so hard sand comes out and lands on Squidlard. SpringBoob comes to Squidlard and blows off the sand that landed on him, as well as his face. Seeing that there is a huge pile of sand on his yard, SpringBoob sets the blower to reverse, sucking up the sand pile, but the leaf blower starts to break apart and throws out sand. SpringBoob opens up the zipper behind the leaf blower and puts the excess sand that was thrown out in there. He tries to start it again, but it does not work. This prompts SpringBoob to pull the handle of the leaf blower very far. Once he feels he is far enough, he lets go and quickly zips through the distance he went back onto the blower. As such, SpringBoob starts sucking up the entire ocean, causing Squidlard to almost suffocate to death, but the leaf blower explodes due to over capacity and shoots all the water sucked up back out again. SpringBoob is happy that his lawn is clean, but Squidlard's lawn is filled with sand. The shell lands on Squidlard's nose, much to his dismay. 1c. Coffee at the Plantdome While SpringBoob is urchinfishing, he stumbles upon a land monkey fighting a clam. He attempts to save her, but she saves herself just before the clam eats SpringBoob. After the monkey, named Mandy, saves SpringBoob, the two greet each other and start bonding. When he notices the air helmet she uses to help her breathe, he convinces her that he likes air too, despite not knowing what air is. Mandy tells SpringBoob to come over to her plantdome for coffee and cookies, and gives him a map of where her plantdome is. SpringBoob goes to Jatrick to tell him about what he went through. When Jatrick hears from SpringBoob that Mandy wears a "hat full of air," he misinterprets this as a statement that she "puts on airs," and that he needs to be fancy by putting his pinky out. The next day, SpringBoob arrives to Mandy's home, but when he goes inside, he realizes the plantdome is entirely filled with air. SpringBoob starts having trouble breathing and begins to dehydrate as a result, but will not admit this to Mandy. As Mandy is showing her house, SpringBoob attempts to use a birdbath to absorb water, only for the bird to angrily kick him out. Jatrick reminds him to put his pinky out, and SpringBoob also brings flowers for Mandy. SpringBoob asks Mandy for water when she asks if he needs anything, but misinterprets this as needing a vase with water inside for the flowers. When Mandy leaves, SpringBoob desperately wants to get out of the plantdome, but before he gets out, he remembers Jatrick’s advice, "When in doubt, pinky out," and remains in the plantdome despite being severely dehydrated. Mandy comes back with the water vase for the flowers, and attempts to start talking to SpringBoob again. When an oven timer inside her plantdome goes off, Mandy leaves again. SpringBoob starts wondering if he needs the water in the vase, repeatedly telling himself he doesn't need it, but eventually relents. SpringBoob drinks all the water in the vase and bolts for the door, only for Jatrick to come inside and prevent him from leaving. Jatrick says that everything will be fine, but as he walks and stays inside the plantdome, he starts choking due to the lack of water as well. The two attempt to get out, and when Mandy comes to them with some tea and cookies, she is shocked when she sees the two have dried up. As a result, Mandy quickly brings water helmets for them so they can survive in the plantdome and tells them if they needed water, then they should've asked for it. The trio happily drink some tea. After this successful pilot, SpringBoob was eager to continue. But a familiar fellow named SpongeBob SquarePants from Bikini Bottom got wind of this story and was not pleased. “Hey wait a minute…SpringBoob stole my idea!” SpongeBob goes to Bikini Top. He blows a giant bubble that surrounds the entire cast of SpringBoob SquirePin, sending them floating up to the Great Beyond. They died on their way back to the home planet. The End?

Thanks for the request, @King Zaid! Anyways I'm surprised the idea of making a list like this hasn't popped in my head sooner. As the person who first brought Jackbox to SBC, I find my duty to compile a list of my favorite games in the series only fitting. There's a lot of great games to choose from, but somehow I was able to narrow it down to 10. Let's steer clear of Pack 10 and Naughty Pack to check out the best of the best! DMAN'S top 10 Jackbox games (predict Lie Swatter's placement!)

Oh, My, GOD! I can't believe this!

SBC is now a subsidiary of Lumon Industries. If you have any questions, please bring them to me, your new site owner.

Location, Bikini Bottom. Date, 3 January 2010. Time, somewhere around 8:42am MHT. Squidward is waking up for the day...or he would be if he got any sleep. Squidward: Ughhh...I can't believe SpongeBob kept me up with that noise all night...I don't care what Krabs thinks, I'm staying home today. Let's make up for those wasted hours. He attempts to fall asleep, but a loud noise outside interrupts him. Squidward: WHAT THE?- (he sees Puffy Fluffy running away outside) oh, never mind. He falls asleep for the next nine hours, waking up refreshed. Squidward: Ahh, just what I needed. Now hopefully tonight I won't have to deal with... He hears singing outside. Squidward: ...SpongeBob. Wait, he's got his repulsive pet with him. I thought Mr. Krabs didn't allow animals at work. (yelling) SpongeBob, what are you thinking going to the Krusty Krab with that slimy mollusk? SpongeBob: Oh hi, Squidward! Didn't see you at work today. Squidward: That's because you kept me up all night with your racket! I couldn't sleep! SpongeBob: Oh, that wasn't me. See, I got a friend for Gare Bear here, and he hated him so much that they got into a fight and destroyed my house! Squidward: Facsinating. SpongeBob: Worse still, Gary chased Fluffy away and I have no idea where my new pet is! Clearly I can't leave this troublemaker alone in the house anymore. Squidward: ...huh? SpongeBob: So I took him to work to help me with my job. He even ran the register for you! Squidward: EW, gross! I'm bringing disinfectant the next time I clock in. SpongeBob: Anyways, if you find Fluffy let me know! (walking inside) D'aww, he's the cutest thing... Squidward: Not to my eyes he isn't. Heh. *sigh* Clearly SpongeBalls is too nitwitted to see his tiny snail can't leave that massive of a hole in his front door, but I see the truth! It was this other vile creature that halted my slumber! I'll find him alright, and after that...nobody will ever find him again. Part II coming soon...

The next day at the Krusty Krab. Squidward is manning the register. He notices that SpongeBob is absent from the kitchen while Gary is flipping patties. Squidward: (whispering) Psst, Gary. Gary: Meow? Squidward: I need some backup, wanna go hunt down that monstrous foe of yours? Gary: Meow. Squidward: Yes, I know we don't have the best history, but this is a win-win! You don't have to worry about that thing returning to eat you, and I get my sleep schedule back! Gary: Meow... Squidward: Fine, I'll buy you 10 boxes of Snail Bites. Gary: Meow! Gary drops his spatula and crawls onto Squidward's back. Squidward: ...I'm already regretting this. He starts to walk out, when suddenly a door in the back bursts open. Krabs: SQUIDWAAAAARD! What do ye think you be doing leaving work this early, with SpongeBoy's pet no less? Squidward: (nervously) Uhh, you see...while SpongeBob was on break I was uh, going to take his snail to.........get a haircut. pause Krabs: Is that really the best you've got? Squidward: Okay Mr. Krabs, I'll level with you. SpongeBob brought this other pet to his home yesterday, and it kept me up all night and almost killed Gary, so I'm going to hunt it down alongside him. Krabs: Hmm. It's a noble cause, Squidward, but I can't allow you to do it during your shift. It's a waste of me precious money! Now get back to work, will ya? Squidward: *sigh* Alright, Mr. Krabs. But if you see a green thing, let me know. Krabs: Green thing? Was it huge? With spiky teeth? And four extra mouths inside? Squidward: Yes? Krabs: Grrrr...that creature tried to eat all the money under me mattress last night! Forget what I said Squidward, you can count me in on your escapade! Sandy: Wait, green thing? That's the no good feller that slammed into my treedome and started a massive leak! Count me in too! Puff: Green thing? Its teeth shredded through my students' freshly graded written reports! Count me in! Bubble Bass: Green thing? His roaring rudely interrupted the recording of my revered review show the previous evening! Count me in! Larry: Green thing? I saved him from drowning in Goo Lagoon this morning and he didn't even have the courtesy to thank me! Count me in! Fred: Green thing? It broke MY LEG! when I was walking today. I'd say count me in, but I'm partly immobile at the moment so I think I'll stay here. Old Man Jenkins: Green thing? You mean the stuff that's growing on my chest? Krabs: (gets a closer look) No, that's just Plankton. He picks him off. Plankton: Wait, don't- He screams as Krabs flicks him out of the restaurant. Tom: Green thing? He poisoned our water supply, burned our crops, and delivered a plague unto our houses! Everyone: He did? Tom: No, but count me in anyway! I've got some pent-up anger that needs releasing. The crowd yells in triumph as they exit the Krusty Krab. Squidward: Count your days, green thing, if you even have more after today! Part III coming soon...

Last time on "DMAN re-attempts to talk about every CN original in existence", dman talked about an episode of a show that he had never seen on television before...and this time he really enjoyed it! Today's show breaks the pattern of ones he hasn't seen, albeit barely... #30: Class of 3000 "Home" [November 3, 2006] Remember that time when André 3000 had his own cartoon? Pepperidge F- I remember...somewhat. There are bits and pieces of episodes in my head, but by far what stands out the most is this particular song. I saw it just once on television, but the catchiness accompanied by the characters dancing across the real-life visuals was enough for it to remain in my head for years. Even now, it's the first thing my brain jumps to when thinking of this show and it still gives me good doses of nostalgia. I mean considering André wrote all the songs for this, it's not surprising it ended up so sticky. So the music is good, but how good is everything else here? We're about to find out; school is now in session. I should also mention- this is a double episode. I was considering just covering the first part like I did with Foster's, but since Wikipedia labels it as episode "1-2" and the mp4 I have is also all 40 minutes, I'm going to cover the whole thing. Slight spoiler, but this show deserves it. The episode begins at a concert for famous musician Sunny Bridges (voiced by André himself) alongside his backing band, but most importantly in the band is his idol, Lil' D. He's living his dream, and those words couldn't be truer because he wakes up from said dream to go to school. He gets on the bus, talking with the driver for a moment about their dreams before the bus becomes even more cramped. We cut to Sunny, in a similarly cramped situation due to his excessive staff, though he's on the way to a concert in Tokyo instead. Back to Lil' D, he meets up with classmate and flower girl Madison before heading to his performing arts school, and we see it has quite the diverse student body. His rich friend Eddie (glad to have you back, Tom Kenny) calls him into their classroom as he is setting up a live feed for the concert. At said concert, Sunny becomes more and more uncomfortable with his omnipresent, overbearing staff, along with how hot of a commodity he is becoming. Back at school, the twins Kim and Kam and the inventive Philly Phil appear, and the latter shows off his device that allows the students to be projected onto the concert stage. The aggressive Tamika then shows up, meaning everyone in class is accounted for. Ready for the concert to begin, everyone is shocked when Sunny walks off the stage without having even played a note. The rest of the world is just as shocked as the kids are, and during the commotion they notice their teacher hasn't shown up yet. The principal informs them that their teacher, Mr. Gone, is gone. Madison wonders if he's gone to expand his music career as he always wanted to "break into rock", and it turns out she's right...in the worst way possible (their teacher is in prison; getit?). Since the school's budget is stretched thin as is, the principal selects himself to be their replacement music teacher, but he doesn't exactly inspire awe in the students. As he goes to deal with other problems, the kids break out into a song about life without music. I suppose the song itself is fine; it certainly supports the downtrodden mood, but the real star here is the varied animation. I'd also be remissed to not mention the line against downloading songs. Ah, 2006 was a different time. The kids decide the best way to raise money for a new teacher is to hold their own benefit concert, but no one's willing to support their cause. After everyone leaves him and it starts raining, a dejected Lil' D heads into a pawn shop, where he unexpectedly meets Sunny Bridges and promptly faints. Recovering quickly, Lil' D heads back to his classmates to tell them that Sunny will help them raise the funds for their cause. It seems too good to be true...and once again it is; it's another dream sequence. Lil' D is filled with questions for Sunny, and he answers as to why he walked off the stage: he wanted some time back home to recharge. The answer initially confuses Lil' D, as he wants nothing more than to get away from his home. This results in Sunny showing Lil' D around the neighborhood to get him to try and see all its features and characters in a new light. Once Lil' D asks him to join their benefit concert, Sunny refuses, restating that he's taking a break from music, and he leaves in his Jaguar. Lil' D, for real this time, tells his classmates that he met Sunny, but Tamika doesn't believe it and wants him to prove it. And so, using the advice he heard earlier, Lil' D "follows the music" to try and find Sunny's house with his friends...out in the woods. Just as night is about to fall and the gang feels like giving up, they stumble across a house and begin exploring its many rooms, especially the music room. As soon as the jam session begins, it is interrupted by a displeased Sunny. Lil' D invites him to join them, and he responds by kicking them out of his house. Back at the school, the kids are as unmotivated as ever with the principal as their music teacher. Out of options, they go outside to hold their benefit concert despite not having sold a single ticket. This gets the attention of Sunny, currently in the pawn shop giving away his instruments, as he recognizes the sound of his drum machine that Lil' D accidently kept hold of after being kicked out. He admires the kids' passion for music, but also acknowledges that they have a lot to learn, leading into the next musical number. And THIS one is a bop; it probably would've gotten stuck in my head too if I actually saw it on television. Either way, through this song Sunny provides the extra spice the kids need for their music. Remembering that Sunny wants to keep a low profile, Lil' D offers him to be their music teacher, but Sunny is immediately scooped away into a limo by his staff, disappointing the kids. The next day, they are surprised to find that the principal has hired Sunny as their music teacher. He explains how he sees his past self in the kids, and not wanting to do any further touring, he is willing to be their teacher as long as he also gets to be home. The students are ecstatic, and to cap things off we get a short reprise of the last musical number. The end. According to Wikipedia, this show never re-aired after its run was over. I don't know the specific reason why (Google says high production costs vs. low ratings), which explains why I barely remember any of it. However, watching this episode makes me wish it had more of a chance, because this was fantastic. The animation style is unique and vivid (the high production cost makes sense at least), the story was fun to follow along with, but by far my favorite aspect was the comedy. I had to leave out SO many jokes in that summary, but here are some of my favorites: The "Sunny sat here" sign both on the bus and in the classroom. "Ka-Bong!" The newswoman interviewing three people from different parts of the world, later revealed to all be in the same multicultural theme park. "My life ain't got no meaning now." "That's okay, your life had no meaning before!" Everyone ditching Lil' D by saying their "mom" is calling, and each one becoming increasingly more phony than the last. Lil' D being asked if he confused Sunny with a bear: "Not unless it was a bear driving a Jaguar." A bear drives by. "That, was a Lamborghini." And that's just a few of them. So yes, Class of 3000 is very cool. It's nice to finally have things that I enjoy watching again! How long this will last? Hopefully long enough for me to not want to stay away from this thread like Sunny is with concerts...but for now, this is the second hit in a row. Also shoutouts to the show taking place in Atlanta; the home of CN itself, the place of OutKast's origin, and the nearest big city to me and a place I have visited many a time. THE BOTTOM LINE: Good music, great animation, hilarious comedy, this one impressed me in ways I never would have expected out of it. Gone far too soon. RATING: 9 (leaning on 8.5)/10 And with that talk-about, this is now the most consecutive posts I've made in this thread without having to take a months (or years)-long break inbetween! I am officially Back in the Game. I'm so hyped for this next show; Wheel of Names, show me what you've got! Stay tuned for dman's next talk-about.

By Request of @Jjs Goodman for his King Neptune, he has asked me to get off my ass and finish chapter 2 that i've had unfinished for weeks write chapter 2 of Fuller SBC today! Chapter 2. – “The Milkman, The Paper Boy, even tvguy!” Zaid pulled up a chair somewhere, setting his clipboard and coffee down on a footstool next to it. He began to take a sip of his coffee, when he immediately spat it out the moment he saw what was going on set. Someone walked out wearing a Sailor Moon cosplay, acting like they were scared at what they had just done. A smoke machine then activated to simulate dust settling from something that happened in the kitchen. Zaid’s internal thoughts then began to scream at him as he sat there staring. “oh, oh for fucks sake they’re doing the fucking episode where Stephanie backs into the kitchen on the real one!” his thoughts sniped. He then looked to his right, the kitchen set had a car backed into it, an old 2005 Toyota Camry, covered in dust and dirt. “Shit, was that the kind of stuff I liked then? Hm, glad I grew up then.” He thought to himself. Zaid was going to let this go, and just settle back down, but then he saw what came out next. A man pretending to be his old character from all those years ago, in fairly rushed bit of Practical Effects makeup, very poorly trying to look like a red and white Fox character. He understood that this was just what the character used to look like, but for some reason he just wasn’t having it, not at all. “Ok, cut, cut cut!” Zaid stood up as he exclaimed, he then walked up onto the set, looked once at the costumed actor, then back at the crew, he then rested his palm on his face and shook his head in disappointment. “This, this is the type of shit that got us off the air last time, any of you remember when our station manager called the Network to “get that shit off the air” while he was eating dinner? No? Then what the hell are we even doing???” Zaid seemed like he was about to start ranting, but then his anger subsided, citing that this is a temporary thing that can be fixed if the pilot is picked up for a full series internally. He sighed, got back off stage and then sat back down in the director’s chair… “Reset, we’ll roll again at the…” He looked at the timestamp “…8 minute marker… ugh.” The camera operator exclaimed “roll speed”, the director exclaimed “Sound check”, the boom operator gave a thumbs up, and the clapper board person walked in front of the camera. “Scene 2 Take 2.” He exclaimed, before clapping the board. “ACTION!” the director shouted over a megaphone. The actor playing “Zaid” walked over to the kitchen, opening the door, and walked in, the smoke machine billowed smoke into the living room set, Zaid then shouted “CUT! That’s good!”, the smoke machines were then turned off as the camera begun to get moved to the other side of the set. Zaid picked up his chair then moved it to the other side in front of the kitchen set, a production assistant walked up to him, and begun to ask: “do you need anything from me?”, Zaid replied “not at the moment no… I’ll ask for you when I need you…”, The production assistant then walked off, and zaid started to scratch his forehead, probably in slight boredom. He then saw the man who looked was playing his old self and called him over. “so uh, what reference material did they give you for the costume?” Zaid asked, the man showed him a drawing on his phone, it was a fairly old bit of artwork drawn by an old friend he knew, a white and dark red Arctic Fox, going by the old name of “Kev Asimoto”, Zaid honestly couldn’t help but be somewhat impressed with the makeup department, they nailed it to a T. “Tell you what kid, we’ll all circle back Monday, and I dunno, I feel like we need to figure out a better retooling than just doing the same ol’ schtick over and over.” The man walked off, Zaid thought for a moment then exclaimed “That’s a wrap for today people! We’ll be back here next week; I want you all in the board room Monday!

This isn’t a hate comment, I'm just ready for you to watch yet another underrated CN classic.

"Robotomy", if there was ANY justice in this world; that show would've lasted for at LEAST four seasons, and "Teen Titans Go" would've been cancelled after only 13 episodes! (Waits for the inevitable amount of HATE comments that will come after this one).

SBC has had wonderful forum skins over the years. So what I'm asking here is which one's your favorite? Vote now!

As one of the creators of skins, I perhaps hold some bias cuz ones I make hold some personal value to me hehe Of this list, V14 Jellyfish (specifically the regular version) takes the cake, although in a generalistic sense my favourite is between EEE and Christmas Cookies. Maybe I'll do a list of favourites or something one day; maybe a Top 7?

What's up, funky fresh people!!! As we all know, @Zaid challenged me this weekend to make a list of my favorite ten songs from the PaRappa the Rapper franchise for his King for A Day spiel, given my Um Jammer Lammy avatar on this forum's Discord server. The major irony here is that I've never even played the OG PaRappa game, with my only exposure to the franchise beforehand being a tie-in song featured in this very list, the fun fact that the games' character designer, Rodney Alan Greenblatt, also did the cover art for They Might Be Giants' debut album from 1986, and this absurd-ass meme: Now, for this list, I'm going to post both the songs from the official OSTs as well as gameplay from the stages they're featured in for each entry. Also, many thanks to Khinsider for the OST downloads and to the PaRappa the Rapper Fan Wiki for providing me the lore on these very strange and colorful games! Anyways, before I go and ramble about Brooklyn's Ambassadors of Love yet again, the time has come for...the list! Okay, so turns out the top 5 songs are gonna need to be a post of their own because my writing for each entry is getting a bit unwieldy lol. Hopefully I can have the second post done by tonight--stay frosty, y'all!

Jjs raiding the Nickelodeon vault to unearth this gem like

As requested by the overlord @King Zaid. As you guys know, I read comic books, watch superhero tv shows and movies. So it's no brainer I'd have bunch of favorites. I haven't done a huge list in a while, my last one was Top 50 Best TV Shows of All-Time but I can't deny a King Neptune request. So I'm gonna do my very best to explain why I love these superheroes so much. One thing I'll point out is that some of these heroes have done villainy or anti-heroic stuff before but the point of the list is to point out these characters' growth or them skewing more into a heroic side. So I hope I explain this well. This is gonna be a long list and I love to ramble (sorry), so I'm gonna split this list into three parts. Part Two and Three are coming tomorrow and the day after. Consider this as an Eid celebration, even though I'm the only active member on SBC who celebrates it afaik lol. Anyways Eid Mubarak and let's get into it. WhoBob's Top 25 Superheroes of All-Time List (Part One) #25: Doctor Fate (Khalid Nassour) As you guys know, I'm a muslim. I may not be a religious person but I was raised in a islamic society, so characters like Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel or Monet/Penance will mean so much to me. The obvious pick would be Kamala Khan but I haven't read her original material to have a huge opinion on her, though I plan on changing that. However I read Khalid Nassour's comics. 2015 Doctor Fate run by Paul Levitz and Sonny Liew. And the character has stuck with me ever since. He has similarities with Kamala, a young muslim american doing superheroics. Although in Khalid's case, he's much more magic based, he's Egyptian and he's not like a superhero fanatic like Kamala is and he's an physician. He's one of the late legacy superheroes introduced, one of the many people holding Doctor Fate title. And it's so entralling to see him trying to learn to be a hero without someone to guide him. And as you read his journey more and more, he proves himself to be the person earning Doctor Fate title. Although eventually he'll learn that he's grandson of the original Doctor Fate, Nelson Kent and learns a few things from him, becomes a member of Justice League Dark (magic based superheroes) and Justice Society of America. And he's great because of proving himself to be worthy of being a superhero. #24: Monica Rambeau Monica has had many codenames over the years. Captain Marvel, Spectrum, Photon. But no matter what title she picks, she'll always be one of the greatest. She was the main character of Avengers in 80s (Roger Stern's run) and unfortunately she lost her recognition in 90s and 00s (with the exception of appearing in Nextwave) up until Al Ewing decided to put her in his titles and make her a standout. I love Monica cuz she's a character that has been screwed over in her history but she always comes back up and is one of the most powerful characters ever. Throughout 10s, it's cool to see Monica become an immortal being and how that means to her overall. And how that eats her up which was an interesting theme to tackle with her give she is a living light. I like her defying the circumstances that made her miserable and become such an important character in the end. And I always hate that MCU reduced her to Carol's niece cuz that does not serve the character at all. She's much more badass, self assured and interesting in comics. #23: Roy Harper The first sidekick to Green Arrow/Oliver Queen. Being Speedy as a teen, eventually growing into Arsenal, then becoming Red Arrow and becoming Arsenal again, the character had multiple names over the years. What I love about him is that he's a character that Oliver let down so hard. In his absence, Roy decided to take on heroin which resulted in him lashing out to him. And he had to find a way to get sober thru help of Black Canary but he was still a mess overall. He had a child at a young age with villainous Chesire, so he had to learn how to be a single father but he eventually proved himself and he went from being a Titans member to being a Justice League member. Right now he's back to being a Titan but Roy will always have a special place in my heart for how much he overcame his trauma and struggles. #22: Black Panther T'Challa is one of the first black characters in Marvel Comics and one of the most popular superhero characters ever. My first exposure to him was MCU's Civil War followed by Black Panther movie, played magnificently by the late Chadwick Boseman and I came to love the character but I didn't know much about the comics version until I read Jonathan Hickman's Avengers saga and I became a fan of the character from comics. And I eventually read Ta-Nehisi Coates' Black Panther run, Don McGregor's Jungle Action, Eve Ewing's Black Panther and I'm currently reading Christopher Priest's Black Panther. Each have their own unique take on T'Challa. He became the king of Wakanda (a well advanced African country) as a kid after his father's death, he's a calculating superspy who is ten steps ahead of everything, he's the protector of Wakandans, he eventually grapples with how to be a king and what monarcy means to him, he later stops being a king and becomes the vigilante of Wakanda. Some of the reasons why he's a favorite of mine and why he means so much to many people. #21: Hawkeye (Clint Barton) Clint Barton is a regular guy learning to be a standout hero amongst some of the most powerful people ever. He's a cool character that MCU did dirty. He was once a leader of Avengers and later Thunderbolts, proving himself as an important figure. And I came to love the character thru Matt Fraction and David Aja's Hawkeye run where we look into him being just a normal person, doing stuff outside of superheroics. And he's such a mess. Can't carry a relationship, struggles being a mentor to Kate Bishop, second Hawkeye, life punches him over and over. But he always cleans his shit together and that's why he's so cool. #20: Quake I'm gonna talk specifically about MCU version and not the comic version cuz I never read her important story in Jonathan Hickman's Secret Warriors, although I plan on doing it one day. But I couldn't leave out her cuz I think she is one of the best characters in that show and deserves a recognition. Idk If anyone wants to watch it atp but I'll lay out the twist of s2 which is that she was a hacker character named Skye that got recruited by SHIELD but eventually she realizes that he real name is Daisy Johnson and she is an inhuman who posesses the power of vibration. She goes from being a cool hacker to being one of the most ass kicking characters ever. I really like her compelling narrative with her finding out who her parents here, her trying to grapple with her new powers, eventually becoming addicted to a higher being and then sobering up and beating the obstacles every step of the turn. #19: Batman Perhaps the most popular superhero in the entire history but why is he low on the list? Well cuz when written badly, I find the character to be a bit insufferable or that I find him to be overexposured. That being said there's a reason why he's so beloved and why I love him so much. He has some of the best superhero adaptations. Batman: the Animated Series, Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, Matt Reeves' The Batman and some others like Batman: the Brave and the Bold, Tim Burton's Batman movies, 00s Batman series and some more I never watched. But he also has some of the best comic books of all-time. You cannot go wrong with Batman: Year One, Batman: The Long Halloween, Batman: The Man Who Laughs, The Dark Knight Returns etc etc. But perhaps my favorite Batman stuff is in Grant Morrison's Batman saga where he becomes larger than life figure, overcoming death of his parents, becoming a father to Damian Wayne, overcoming every obstacle on the way and cheating death. And all of it was gone masterfully until it all clashes down spectacularly. And he's an inspiration to many heroes and has impressive rogues gallery (Joker, Two-Face, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, Ra's Al Ghul, Bane, Scarecrow, Mr. Freeze, The Penguin), a really cool batfamily (Nightwing, Batgirls, Robins, Batwoman, Oracle, Red Hood, Signal, Huntress, Alfred Pennyworth, Catwoman etc) and some of the best supporting cast you can imagine (James Gordon, Lucius Fox, Harvey Bullock, Renee Montaya/The Question, Leslie Thompkins). He's a man dressed as a bat to fight crime, so no one has to go through same tragedy as he did when he was young. And that's why he's the greatest considered by many people. #18: Batgirl (Cassandra Cain) Cass Cain is a character that debuted in 00s but I have never had exposure to her deeply until last year when I read Batgirl by Kelley Puckett and Damion Scott and I became a fan of the character. She is a character that was raised to be an assassin by her father. Only using body language and never speaking, she became one of the most powerful martial artists in superhero comics. And she was quite a killer until she came across to Batman, becoming adopted by him and mentored by Barbara Gordon, once was a Batgirl and now a hacker named Oracle. Thanks to them, she became a superhero and took the codename Batgirl. She's important because of her disabilty to speak minimally or in broken language. She shows her emotions through her body and facial expressions and she's able to read people thru their bodies. And she's a kickass fighter, going toe to toe with a deadly assassin named Lady Shiva who is her mother and surviving their deadly battle. She was an important character to Batman lore until because of continuity reboot, she had been erased from history until a few years later she came back as Orphan which is a silly codename for her and then becoming Batgirl once again and sharing the codename with Stephanie Brown, formerly known as Spoiler. And now she has her own title again by Tate Brombal and Takeshi Miyazawa and it has been great so far. She is a great character because she managed to escape her abusive father, learned to be a hero without killing anyone ever again and defied her mother's cruel tactics.

I watch all my movies on Betamax!!!!

Oh i just noticed the ouran high school host club banner I adore that show

Last time on "DMAN re-attempts to talk about every CN original in existence", dman talked about an episode of a show that was...sunday...kenny...drowning...tom...or something along those lines. Will today's show be any better, or will it send him into another six-year-long period of inactivity on this thread (that lazy mofo)? Damn, the opening narration really didn't have to do me like that... So...yeah. After all this time, I'm finally gonna try finishing this thing again. I apologize that it's taken me so long to make another update in this thread, but as of now I have too much time on my hands and my mind drifted to this old project, so I figured "why not?". Let's talk about some toons. I still won't be covering anything after 2018, because by then we'd be getting to shows that I haven't even watched once and know little to nothing about. Of course, that's also not saying that I've extensively watched every show I put on the original list. For example... #55: Apple & Onion "A New Life" [February 23, 2018] If I remember correctly, this was the first new show to air after I made my thread for talking about CN originals on SBM. This was also around the time where I stopped keeping up with the channel in general. I know I saw one episode of this show on TV at least, but I think that's it. I don't know what else to say here, so let's go ahead and dive on into Apple and Onion's world. Welcome. The episode begins with the titular characters leaving their homes for new lives. Both of them have their own mantras in the form of a song, Apple's being about taking things one step at a time, and Onion's being about making new friends. Eventually they both make it to the city, which is filled with a wide variety of food residents. Apple attempts to reach the address given to him by his parents, but unfortunately he's easily distracted. On his way he stops by an ice cream truck and buys $65 worth of ice cream, not noticing he left his backpack (address with it) on the truck's side mirror. He realizes this too late as the truck drives off, but before he can chase it down he uses his ice cream to cool off a visibly exhausted woman on the sidewalk. Meanwhile, Onion arrives at his new job with some ice cream he bought from the same truck, the intention being to give it to his new boss and make a good first impression. Unfortunately, it melts inside the office and he gets the mess all over his boss's suit, who demands that he get it dry cleaned if he wants to keep his job. It seems like his goal to make friends isn't panning out so far, huh? Anyway, we cut back to Apple. While reminding himself to take things one step at a time, he is once again distracted. He thinks he hears the ice cream truck, but it turns out to be a phone ringing, belonging to a nearby scam artist. He uses the rest of his money to pay for a self-portrait from the artist (who insists that Apple pays before he can see it), but much to his surprise Apple ends up really liking it. In the meantime, Onion arrives at the laundromat to get his boss's suit cleaned up. He notices an athlete struggling with his washing machine, so Onion offers to let the athlete share his own machine. He sets the temperature to hot, which certainly won't be a mistake. Getting back to Apple, he helps some kids by dislodging a basketball that was caught in a hoop. However, he throws both of his shoes to do so and now has only socks to walk in. And back to Onion, he gives the suit back to his boss only to discover that it has shrunken and is now red like the athlete's jerseys. He is fired and left homeless as a result, and to add insult to injury he loses his shoes to some wet cement on the way out. Gee, sounds familiar. Finally, Apple and Onion cross paths at a shoe store. After singing their mantras to themselves, they notice each other and quickly become friends. Apple offers Onion to come live with him, though first the duo must retrieve the address from Apple's backpack, still hanging from the ice cream truck. Their new shoes invigorate them and they run outside, where their good deeds throughout the day begin to pay off. The woman Apple helped cool down gives them the gift of speed, the athlete Onion shared his washer with gives them the gift of flight, the artist Apple gave appraisal to gives them the gift of inspiration (okay), and most helpful of all, the kids that Apple helped in the basketball situation gives them the call of the children, which gains the attention of the ice cream truck driver. Apple finally retrieves his backpack, and the athlete offers to drive him and Onion to the address. In the end, Apple and Onion move in to their new apartment, write positive letters to their parents, and tell each other their names for the first time (although it wouldn't have been too hard to figure out by looks alone). The end. I wasn't sure what to think of this going in, but you know what, it wasn't too bad. In fact, as far as this episode went, I kind of liked it. The singing had me worried at first, but thankfully they're either very short moments or are interrupted a la the "Welcome Home Sandy" song; that part with the train conductor made me crack a smile. There's also a certain feel of social awkwardness throughout this show that I can relate to, even if at points it gets weird even for me. My other favorite moment was during the laundromat scene where Onion jokes with the athlete, who proceeds to give him an overly detailed death stare, before it changes to a smile upon Onion offering to share his washer. So yeah, I thought this was neat. There's nothing here that wowed me or was new, but I enjoyed myself during the time I had watching it. I may watch a few more episodes to get a more solid opinion on this one, but for now this first episode left a good impression on me. Unlike certain other people in this episode. THE BOTTOM LINE: Though it doesn't include anything I haven't seen before out of a slice-of-life show, Apple & Onion is still pleasant enough to sink your teeth into. Goodbye. RATING: 7/10 (decent) Big news: I've decided to finally give Wheel Decide a rest from these threads. Forever may you be at peace, sweet angel. Instead, say hello to Wheel of Names! Alright new wheel, don't mess this up for me... Stay tuned for dman's next talk-about...even if it takes another six years.
