>SCP cartoon that isn't an edgy comedy for once
>still revolves around a mundane OC
It's so tiring. The mythos is so vast and sprawling, and yet adaptations always do the same shit over and over.
>>
>>150229743
There's something about SCP that just brings out the worst in OCfags
>>
>>150229743
>mundane OC
What is wrong with that? Most stories about the supernatural involves someone ordinary trying to survive it. Who would you prefer as the protagonist? Dogshit gary stus like Clef or Bright? One of the SCPs? Most SCPs do not work as protagonists.

>Jarvis why isn't the main character my super-op, special-wecial, anomaly scp that can reality bend

Is that for OP or the project

>>150229743
>mundane OC
How mundane is it?
If it is a telephone that changes colors when no one is looking then, yeah, that is boring. If by mundane you mean it isn't a world ending or god-like SCP then good, SCP is bloated with those.

Illiterate secondaries once again telling on themselves. You people only know about like 5 skips total, and yet you say shit like this unironically.

>>150230450
I'm so sick of the main character of these projects always being just some rando. Not even a quirky rando as you'd expect of someone who works for the Foundation.
>>
>>150230507
Dude, not everyone in the foundation is some special Charlie horse or oddity.
Most of them are scientists or soldiers working for bereaucrats. That's what scp is. Taking the strange and quantifying it, even if its a useless thing to.
Not everyone's a Bright, or a Koradaki, or that apple guy.
Hell those guys were just the websites mods/major writers that inserted themselves, they were special characters pushed to the forefront.

If you want an scp main character then you have to start adding your own shit to the writing the mythos. Make it a regular guy you can add the mythos to him

It's true. We will be here all day listing the ones that do not work as protagonists.
>SCP-076
Abel is just the usual psychopath that kills people. You could adapt his story from genesis, but he did not have much characterization like Cain. Besides, he is a overpowered character and it will take away from the horror to make him the protagonist. Normal people struggling to stop his rampages is just more interesting.
>SCP-173
A killer statue.
>SCP-163
The alien does not speak English and it will need human characters to interact with, which contribute to its survival on Earth.

Are you really going to pretend Connor from Confinement did not exist? He was an anomaly albeit not one posted to the wiki.

>Are you really going to pretend Connor from Confinement did not exist?
You know what? Yes. Fuck Confinement. You people need to get over that mediocre swill.
>>
>>150231256
I know plenty of SCPs. I explained we would be here all day explaining why a lot of them would not work.
>>
>>150231256
Would you stop being such an oc Fag. Not every main character needs to be special
>>
Its an open source "IP" you guys cant complain since anyone doesnt have to follow shit for it

WUT?

What is the problem of the main characters been normal people?

Don't people HATE the extra special OCs full of le quirks and reddit/tumblr elements that SCP devolved into?

A more serious take on it is the best. Also normal employees are better than following SCPs, because they can walk more freely and interact with more anomalies.

>>150231256
What about you saying which you think should be the MC?
>>
>>150231280
Uh huh, sure you do.

>>150231370
Certainly not, but this is the -SCP- Foundation. The anomalies are the point and the appeal.

They don't look very anomalous if we are looking throuth the eyes of an anomaly. They also can't freely walk around and interact with others as an employee would.

By using a normal person as the focus, the oddity becomes more of an oddity.

Now give straight up the answer for WHO should be the protagonist, or I'm just going to assume you are part of the team that created OP and doing aimless shitposting to advertize.

It definitely isn't. This anon has been around before and constantly shits on human characters.

Oh wow, it's almost like sapient anomalies are people or something. Retard.

>They also can't freely walk around and interact with others as an employee would.
There are plenty of stories about contained anomalies. You're a youtube grifter secondary, so you haven't read any of them. The fact we're even having this argument is hard proof that you are an ignorant twat.

>Now give straight up the answer for WHO should be the protagonist,
Why the hell should I? You have already decided that SCPs cannot be protagonists based on the contents of your ass, so you'd just make up some bullshit excuse. I know your type. Fuck you.

>or I'm just going to assume you are part of the team that created OP and doing aimless shitposting to advertize.
There's so much about this idea that's fucking stupid, I don't know where to begin.
>>
>>150232039
>Why the hell should I?

I thought you were smart enough to know that by giving an answer we could have a conversation.

Or at least to show that you are not just an autist without an answer.

>There are plenty of stories about contained anomalies.
They don't work as protagonists for a show, because then they would be stuck in a location and not interact as much with other anomalies.
