The Tick>Believes that good is good and bad is bad. Justice is true. No moral cynicism>Completely selfless. Has no life outside of heroism and does so out of a sense of duty rather than a desire for fame or money>A constant optimist. A symbol of hope. Makes friends with everyone and brings cheer>Courage without EgoThe tick is a parody of super heroes but represents the ideal better than all but a handful of them.
>>154108636He’s a retard in a silly, cartoony world
>>154108636He's an affectionate parody
chad
>>154108636"Shaloom, Shaal-ooom, Shaaaa-llOOM!"
>>154108655You're a retard in a silly, cartoony website
It's only Die Fledermaus that is a shitty hero in The Tick. The rest of them are actually good guys.
>>154108636I stand on my laurels that All Might was based on The Tick.
>>154108655The Tick knows he exists in a cartoony world and chooses to do good in it.
>>154110104Doubtful. They are just both based on the same tropes. A lot of which were obviously popularized by Superman.
>>154108636Why a tick of all things, though?
>>154110483Because it's funny
>>154110483That's the joke. He's nothing like a tick. He's blue. He doesn't have tick-like powers. Ticks don't even have antenna. Arthur also has very little similarity to a moth. And comparatively Die Fledermaus looks a lot more like a bat than Batman. It's all a joke.
>>154108636The Tick is Based, more at 11
>>154108636That’s just Judge Dredd lite.
>>154108636You could grate CHEESE ON 'EM
bump for THE TICK!!
I like that he is a good person and naive and dumb and a good person that helps people.
>>154112510The big difference is, early on Tick is told superheroes never, ever kill. And he's taken it to heart ever since.
>>154116700and thats a GOOD thing
>>154110519Doubt it.
>>154116743shut up Barry
>>154108636He was a nice guy before he became a bitter narcissistic robot
>>154115932ARTHUR! BUMP IF YOU LOVE JUSTICE!
>>154109260Oh yeah, definitely, definitely good guys. Especially Sewer Urchin.
>>154108636The corruption in the real world would break him mentally.
>>154118563Wrong, he would just beat up the government.
>>154117243Thats just Crimson Chin evil robot doppleganger.
>>154110483Because he's tenacious
>>154118692This.
Do you guys think there are ninjas in here?
>>154119048Nah, just a hedge.
>>154116121This but unironically
>>154118351>not THE MAP LIGHT
>>154108636What is his stance on the death penalty?
>>154110104Saitama is Based on The Tick, even Arthur and Genos are the same, and American Maid is both fubuki and tatsumaki
>>154120424Convenient and essential.
>>154120763He hates murder so what do you think?
>>154108636>I EVERYTHING TRIPLE RIPPLE VANILLA ROAD MONKEY!
>>154110569>He doesn't have tick-like powersTicks are somewhat nigh invulnerable
https://www.youtube.com/@Tortugaman64/videosThis guy is a hero.
>>154112510The Tick's setting is comical and happy go lucky. Dredd is, as someone once pointed it out, a lawful good hero living in, and molded by, a grimdark setting where the only options are either cruel tyranny or bloody anarchy
>>154108636Better represented of parody superheroes than The Boys TV series.
>>154118528He's the apotheosis of cool.
SPOON!!
>>154110483Ya see chum, sometimes ya gotta burrow into the dark, soft, squishy crevaces of crime's dirty ankles. Really dig into flesh of their lousy demeanor and suck out the pure liquid badness and honk it into the spittoon of justice!
>>154126540That's disgusting Tick...
>>154110569It's not even like he needed to register a name and settled for what he could, somebody was already committed to a tick theme.
>>154126610Crime often is!
You know, one of the things that really irks me in the intro for the cartoon is how the jazz scream and the head scream animation are slightly misaligned
>>154122256I always wanted to see a story where a Happy-go-lucky main character is put into a grimdark world like Bloodborne or Berserk and somehow comes out unchanged in their hope and optimism, done in a comical but genuine matter.
>>154126896That would be Wander Over Yonder, kind of.
>>154126896https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXrDmUeZnig
>>154126896That was Solraire's thing until he thought it would be a good idea to wear a parasite for a funny hat. Which is also something the Tick might do. It could be an episode's plot.
>>154129572Solaire actually does get his happy ending if you save him, too.
>The Tick vs the Sane Hatter>The Sane Hatter is a villain who does things that make perfect sense>It's only natural that he wants to control the nigh-indestructible Tick>He does so by building a mind control device and disguising it as a silly hat>He goes to a carnival and he hands out free hats until the Tick comes up to him and asks for one>Once under the Hatter's influence, the Tick goes on a crime spree, robbing banks>The Hatter didn't know when the Tick would appear so he had to plant a mind control device in every hat, which was rather costly and now he needs to make his money back>"It makes perfect sense when you think about it" Die Flandermaus comments>tl;dr Tick's friends free him>The Sane Hatter activates the rest of the silly hats, causing a crowd of children to appear and surround him like some kind of...wall of innocence>The heroes can't attack the children, so instead they have to convince them to remove their own mind control hats>The Sane Hatter manages to escape, stating that he only wanted the kids to buy him time>After all it would be crazy to expect kids to kill superheroes>>154129604Do tell. I don't remember.
>>154108636I love this guy, just a bright blue beacon of HOPE!
>>154117243In what way? Sentinel did everything right and correct the heroes are misfits. He's only wrong in the sense he didn't believe the heroes or promote them to autobots.
Tick thread and no one posted Ashley?
>>154110569Get over it, Barry.
WOO-WOO!!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mua82xmcuaA
This is what we call the denouement. That's French for when we bump the thread.
>>154108636I mean they stick to that well with the Santa and Education episodes.
>>154108636Sounds boring. Is it boring?
>>154135383It is so far away from boring that the entire concept of boredom will seem like a bizarre folktale.
>>154135383>Is it boring? Not even remotely.
>>154135383You're boring!
>>154132381Who is Ashley?
>>154108636>>Completely selfless. Has no life outside of heroismWell, heroism and wholesome community activites like visiting a REAL dinosaur dig site!
>>154129814Miyazaki confirmed in an interview that Solaire links the first flame in his own world if you save him, which I think is just about the ending he would've wanted the most.http://soulslore.wikidot.com/das1-game-no-shokutaku
Haha I LOVE The Tick!
>>154136987I can make a guess and would just say ignore the parasites.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=me_KL-f3IdI
I think she might be crazy.
YOU CAN'T FIGHT EVIL WITH A MACARONI DUCK
>>154139839How do you know I can't?
>>154139839I'll be the judge of that!
>>154110483Because he really gets under your skin
>>154108636Enough of your HOT little bullets!!
>>154108636Was picrel in any way inspired by Tick?
>>154108636You have to remember that The Tick was created at the height of 90s edge era. His joke is that he's an old-timey style super hero in a word where everyone is cynical, edgy, self-aware and using guns. To the point where in his world he's treated as insane.
>>154108636bro is chiseled AF
>>154141967it seems to look like it but theres nothing confirmed
>>154121316The MAP LIGHT!...Show them the MAP LIGHT Arthur.
Not bumping the thread is trouble with a captial troub!
>>154121068OPM really is a solid Tick analog for theme and feel now that you say it
>>154142033>90scome on now
>>154144181Fortunately that exists https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCLdLBJdMNs
>>154108636Ick
hey, I just realized that Tick rhymes with DickWhat if the characters is actually, THE DICK
>>154110104Same brain, shadow profile, powers, outlook, and also has a bizarre origin.
You know, Little Wooden Boy, the worst sin in the world is letting the thread reach page 10.
>>154141967>>154108636Ahhh fellow chin enthusiasts.
>>154150505What would happen if you unscrewed Sentinel's chin?
>>154150505There's only one, so it's probably structural and not a switch to make him gay or speak spanish. I bet his jaw hangs unsupported and he drools like he had a stroke.
>>154150871Jokes on you, it's just for show and doesn't screw into anything.
