Characters that were supposed to be recurring, but got dropped or reduced to extras
Arnold's pedophile neighbor
>>155273728YOU AIN'T NEVER LEAVIN THE TRI-STATE AREA DUHJANGO
>>155273728>Last lineThank God for that.Because a silly cartoon about a bunch of kids that can build an amusement park out of nowhere in the span of an afternoon with no money while their parents aren't looking really needed to address the harsh realities of capitalism.
>>155273728dr marvin monroe
For some fucking reason THIS comes up when I google him (and it's not even blurred)..
>>155273746I can see why they might drop him
>>155273771>the harsh realities of capitalism.But D.E.I. inc...
>>155273844Doof gets checks since there’s no way he can manage an actual company
>>155273728Billy and Mandy is full of these. Of these, only Mindy, Hoss Delgado and Skarr appeared frequently.
>>155273893Who is he
>>155273771>address the harsh realities of capitalism.Who said it had to be dark and gritty realism? The hippie archetype works fine with in lighthearted comedy. Like Candace's other friend who's always on her way to a "save the pigeons"-type protestDjango could've similarly had throwaway dialogue that adds quick jokes to the episode.>Wanna come build a giant rollercoaster with us, Django?>I can't. Tonight is meal-prep night and it's gonna take me a while to catch enough crickets and ants to last us the winterOr dumb shit like that. I'm not a writer
>>155273840Her. It was a her.
>>155273798at least according to the official garfield website, lyman was created to give jon someone to talk to, since garfield spoke in thought bubblesbut he was eventually dropped from the series because it made more sense for jon to talk to garfield, nature of the speech bubble be damned
>>155273728Django would have been a better fit... in Milo Murphy's Law.
>>155274028Loser that gets treated like shit by everything and their grandmas
>>155273728Dogpoo PetuskiEvery background classmate introduced in the pilot became a regular or recurring character in the series except for that dirty Pig Pen-looking nigga sitting between Kyle and Kenny.
>>155274028All the characters in the intro are from the Grim and Evil era except suburban Skarr and after rewatching recently, I don't remember seeing this guy either.
>>155273728Don't forget his sister.
>>155274551they briefly tried to make pip a thing, he even got his own episodethen he disappeared outside a few cameos before finally being killed off, permanently writing him off the show
>>155274597>brieflyHe was one of the most used kids for the first half decade of the show. I honestly miss him. If they didn't want to give him anymore roles, at least let him remain in the class because his design is so good.
>>155274595His sister lasted a season longer than him, which I find odd looking up because for some reason I remember her being a regular as one of Candace's friends for most of the show.
>>155274595Bring her back! The animators manage to sneak her into the background every now and then.
>>155273771yeah I think Swampy wrote that line. Thankfully none of that ever makes it into the show. Phineas and Ferb are a pair of motherfuckin Henry Fords.
>This is Herman, the military antique enthusiast >he also paddles counterfeit jeans>and he is also a rapist because Pulp Fiction
>>155275149they build a lot of stuff, but they never actually monetized any of itthey did work for a company twice, but ducked both on principlethey refused to give the perry the inaction figure more features because they didnt want to dilute the inaction partand they refused to make a second pop song because they were committed to the one-hit wonder bit and wanted to have their pop diva meltdown
>>155273728>Phineas And Ferb's hippie friendNo wonder why they dropped him, hippies are boring and Baljeet and Buford bring more funny stuff to the group
>>155273728Lady Rainicorn
>>155275197>>155273771>>155274037In the little focus that he got in the show, that was actually given to his sister Jenny in her handful of appearances, she was going to rallies, and going off about world peace.Meanwhile Django... didn't really get much besides being like an artist I guess, he didn't have a strong or memorable personality besides being nice, even Jenny was more memorable.
>>155274794Makes sense why Jenny lasted a little bit more than Django, she had slightly more going on with her hippie thing, while Django was just boring and nice.Also, since Phineas and Ferb had Isabella, Buford, and Baljeet, they didn't really need Django, but Candace on the other hand, who only really had Stacy, had more opportunities to bring Jenny to make a trio or as a Stacy replacement in certain situations.Eventually they realized they could just make Vanessa Candace's friend, but Jenny still shows up sometimes in the background with Stacy whenever she's not hanging out with Candace.
>>155274052So?
>>155273728I swear, this mfer feels like he’s been ret-conned from existence or that Keith David was too busy/expensive
>>155275464No? He was relevant to the episodes that needed him to be relevant and got an episode that gave him closure.
>>155275193they charged for the rollercoasterphineas says "we should've charged more"i remember someone (maybe dan) saying that they made some really good investments with the ticket money which they used to fund the rest of their inventions
>>155275464Doesn't apply to the thread, this guy was a recurring character up until the last season of the show.
Big City Greens almost set up a rivals for Cricket, Remy and Tilly but they dropped them, hell Selena didn't show up again till S4
>>155275150that was just proto quagmire
Remember when Peter used to work at a Toy Factory
>>155273728Diamond Dogs from the forbideen show.
>>155275515He didn’t appear all that much or was all that relevant, I can literally count his important episodes with one hand and even then he wasn’t that important except in one episode (which nobody liked, figures).
>>155275478No, he was a side-piece
>>155275591he was given a reason to not be used as much after he was defeated, though
>>155273728Sergei from American DadHe had potential
>>155275582So yeah, he wasn't a main character, he was just FP's evil dad, that's like 2 degrees of separation from the main characters.He wasn't meant to have any bigger role than that, I'm actually surprised they went out of their way to give him closure and a happy ending when they could've just left him in the lamp.
>>155275464Your weird obsession with this character has to stop.
>>155275606Yeah, and it suck hard>>155275627He looks he’s laughing at her pathetic attempts at plight in the pic which is really based and good in my book
>>155275658That was kinda what he was doing, but he still went to see her shitty rap thing, so there's that.
>>155275650Calm down, I just like his design and voice and I’m not going schizo mode anytime soon
>>155275608That's a good one. I remember Sergei being great the few times he showed up.
>>155275669You've already gone schizo because you post him even when he isn't relevant to the thread.He wasn't dropped or unused, he was just a side character, one could argue FP was more of a dropped character than him, considering how much she was hyped as Finn's new love interest.
It's technically /a/ rather than /co/ but some guy dug up a bunch of really early Samurai Pizza Cats character concepts that never made it into the show.
>>155275767
>>155275727I’m so sad.
>>155275422>Jenny still shows up sometimes in the background with Stacy whenever she's not hanging out with Candace.That's a story waiting to be told.
>>155274052Steve Viksten was the one who'd pitched her as the flirty drunk provocative sort, one of his ideas that just didn't land and they couldn't figure out an alternative.
>intended to be Porky's sidekick>only had three or four appearances in the theatrical shorts before a certain little black duck took his place>one of his shorts was remade nearly beat-for-beat with Daffy instead
>>155273728This version of the character from here on out. Kek
>>155273728Before Venture Bros was in production, a character name Army Joe was supposed to appeared and is also the brother of Brock.
>>155276563That pitch sounds hilarious
>>155276629Totally. It's suck they drop him as he's the only character of the pitch that didn't made to the full series. Although, he does look like a young Sgt. Hatred.
>>155276648Nah, he looks more like Jonas Sr.
>>155276648He looks like he could've served in the role Race Bannon had before they realized "hey, let's use Race" minus the Uncle Sam.
>>155276677Actually he does if you fix his hair.
>>155275422>Jenny still shows up sometimes in the background with Stacy whenever she's not hanging out with Candace.She did until Season 5 when they decided Stacy is hanging out with Perry when she's not with Candace.
>>155273893I don't remember that Scottish looking dude in the middle.
>>155273893You forgot the villian side as well. Grim used to hang out with those imps in the earlier episodes before they were phased out.
>>155276563Feels like they recycled the Uncle Sam thing with Lincoln's ghost
>>155276973remember seeing him as some sort of every job man character in the first season, even that he did not appeared muchhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cjEXbeHfBA
>>155275543He also appeared alongside the actual Quagmire.
>>155276694I feel like he was going to appeared before they decide to used Race Bannon.
>>155273728Django would approve gulags?
>>155277044At least part of Army Joe it made it to the show.
>>155275767>>155275778It's like megaman x villains
>>155277033>>155274028I always wondered who this guy was as well. Were they caricatures of show staff?
>>155273728Napalm Man only appears in the opening theme on Mega Man show but never appeared in the show.
Those pirate bunnies from the original Star Vs. intro were set up as recurring antagonists but only showed up in one season two episode for one scene.
Sure felt like it, at least.
>>155277191>>155277033I assume that was just meant to be a generic zombie
>>155277278>>155277304I think in general, a lot of the OG recurring cast of Star Vs were greatly shafted. (Alfonzo and Ferguson, Brittney Wong, any one of Ludo’s minions not named Buff Frog)Hell, one of the characters among the crowd at the end of the OG Season 1 intro was that bully from the monster arms episode.
>>155277370Why did Nefcy ruin it?
>>155273771Hippies can be funny, as long as the show isn't siding with them (futurama)
>>155276490>Comes back after 84 years in Wabbit/The New Looney Tunes>Has one or two shorts as a guest star and it's a backgrounder for another four episodes until the show was over.
>>155275528that episode sucked anyway
Much of the Beach City townies were phased out later on. Mr. Smiley and Kofi Pizza were nothing but voiceless extras by the fifth season.In addition, Peedee Fryman was set up as Steven’s best friend but started to appear less and less as the series went on.
>>155276767Nah, in Season 5 specifically you can see Stacy hanging out with Jenny and Coltrane in the background, same as in the second movie.
>>155277447>peace and love is a bad thinghow?
>>155277431because they were corporate mandates
>>155277923I thought like you once...
Remember those two lady cops from the first season of Bob's burgers.
>>155276490Not much of a point when Chuck Jones turned Daffy's personality into Gabby'sNot really sure why he did that
>>155277923It leads to suicidal empathy
>>155278192what?
>>155278210To a rightoid, every single little thing is boiled down to rape and murder, either assuming everyone wants to rape and murder him, or wishing he could do it back but can't "because of the Jews". This is why they're all Death Fetishists. Suicidal empathy is a good example of what they genuinely think
>101 Dalmatian's cartoon.>Originally meant to have 6 main characters>Disney thought that would be too many characters for a show about 101 dogs>Cuts the main characters to 3 puppies and a chicken>The puppies that would have been main characters sometimes show up in a few episodes as minor characters with their unique designs unlike every other background puppy with the exact same design.Patch here is the weirdest case because he was going to be one of the main characters and there's even an episode where he shows up with speaking lines like he was part of the main group but after that he only shows up in the background.
>>155278394What kind of fucking name is Cadpig?
>>155274028he looks like the mailman
>>155275186>and he is also a rapist because Pulp FictionI never got that. Why did they write this segment and THEN go "UM, YIKES, THAT WASN'T VERY WHOLESOME CHUNGUS!"
>>155278356>This is why they're all Death Fetishists.That's abortion though
>>155278394>tripod>missing a legGoddamn
>>155275721Well if we're doing that the italian dog was better than brian
>>155277923rape is a form of lovenot reporting him is a form of peace
>>155274028That's Dave.
>>155273728Mortuary girl in gary and his demons. Reccurring in S1, completely gone in S2 beyond a silent two second cameo. A lot of members of the organization were forgotten or used differently in S2, but she got it the worst
>>155274551They literally joked about how he never got to do anything
>>155273728Officer Cliffany and Julia who appeared in the first season of Bob's Burgers. They both ended up fading into the background after S1.
>>155273728Damn, never seen him. Could make for good 34 fodder.
>>155280307I'm sure a few autists will go to the discount R34 artists and have them pump out a bunch of commissions after this thread
>>155277213Something about napalm doesn't seem to sit well with censors. I know the dub of Megaman NT Warrior had to rename him "Moltonic Man" or something like that.
>>155273728Surprised no one mention the scuba guy from the Venture Bros opening, he's even become sort of an inside joke among my friends who watch the show.Even if people say it's Brock, I never seen him use this attire once
>>155279387now you are just saying nonsense
>>155280286By the same token, Bob's restauranteur friends Tran, Pepe, and Reggie. Only Reggie came back in any serious capacity.
Apu
>>155277517Season 1 was rather experimental in terms to seeing if they add other characters besides Gloria, Remy, Vasquez, Kiki and the others, become amongst the regular reoccurring characters but decided to abandoned the concept to stick to what they established.>>155277926Alphonso and Ferguson were basically suggestion by Disney execs to give Marco a set of male best friends, Nefcy didn't exactly liked them and tried to obscure their appearances in later season once there was a shift in plot structure.
>>155277213At least he looked really cool in it
What is the significance of the capitalization
>>155280350Could you blame them? The nigga looks adorable.
Jason was the main antagonist for a bit, but then gradually got shafted overall when the show started becoming more black centric.
>>155273728Uncle Max from Calvin & Hobbes?
>>155275186He helped bart beat Nelson speaking of remember Nelson's lackies?
>>155275186Sherri & Terri were supposed to be Bart's recurring bullies but they quickly decided to use Nelson for that instead.
>>155275569I thought it was just a cut away gag.
>>155280377I mean, might as well call him warcrimes man.
>>155279346To be fair, that's a very common way, at least nowadays, of referring to cats or dogs with a leg missing. And if they've got both front legs gone, you often see them called "t-rex".
>>155279346Perdita got a little rough during birth.
>>155273728Anyone remember Suitcase Sam from Steven Universe? Who's probably the biggest minor character on the show when it comes to Beach City citizens. Sam stayed in the background.
>>155281394I wish they were. I mean at least comics they were even have crush on Bart but not in the show.>>155280400Frog Man. I feel like he was supposed to be here to play a huge parody of the ep "The Mystery of the Lizardmen" from Jonny Quest butt never happen as I I think he serves a cameo in the villain audition to arch The Order of The Triad.
>>155281087>when the show started becoming more black centric.Show has always been about black people???
>>155281360He got cut because it was impossible for Watterson to write dialogue for him without giving actual names to Calvin's parents.
>>155273728Lyman, even though Jim Davis denied it had anything to do with people thinking him and Jon were gay.
>>155274551>>155279800I mean Trey and Matt have been vocal that they despise the early seasons so this is kinda cheating
>>155280377Yeah I can see the controversy of his name at least he existed and had offscreen battle with Mega Man. Which is why Skull Man never appeared as well for being too scary.
Half the Peanuts cast.
>>155273728A character name Splatty from The Amazing World of Gumball was going to appear in the show but never made it because Rocky accidently kill him.
>>155277304Honestly Alfonzo and Ferguson are a better example of that, being present for season 1 as Marco's friends and then literally pushed to the background.
>>155281674He came back for the CGI Garfield cartoon, getting a whole four-part story about where he vanished to.
>>155281641No. Craig is just the first CN show to have a black character as the protagonist.The show isn't like The Proud Family (which is best examples I can think of), the main premise of Craig of the Creek has always been about Kids being kids and sometimes family stuffs.
>>155281898If I remember, Nefcy was forced to add them in the first place, so I'm not surprised they were dropped as soon as she got the chance.
>>155273771Buford changed from a one-dimensional bully to a meathead philosopher, Django could've developed into something more outlandish to fit the needs of the show. It sounds like the writers just took whatever traits he was going to have and gave them to Isabella.
>>155273728Here's a good example of a dropped character. Remember The Loud House episode where Lucy develop a crush on Lincoln's friend younger brother? The episode end with showing them together but we don't get nothing else of them he NEVER appear again after this episode at all.
>>155282961I'm sure they're aware that loudcest is extremely popular.
>>155281700Not really because anon pointed out how everyone else in the classroom there got some roles eventually. Some of them even only got to do things after the classic era was over. Doo Poo is an especially funny case because he got put in a lot of cast merch for years even over some characters that actually spoke outside of one time in season 6 and another in season 14.
>>155281641Not entirely. It was very general, even with the black MC, but as it went along it became more black focused.>ice pop trio for craig to have black friends>omar maya and xavier
>>155282961The show decided to disregard forcing the younger kids into relationships because of their age. Lynn was the cutoff.
>>155282426If anything, it's nice they ended up getting a happy ending rather than just vanishing or being made the butt of a joke.
>>155276512?? compared to mcu thor? or?
>>155277073>>155275543>>155275150He became the mannish looking pregnant woman that Peter punches
>>155278394Wasn't there a point where Penny (the pink collar dog from the 90s toyline) was going to be the girl puppy, but she got changed to Cadpig?
>>155281898Isnt fergurson the fat ginger that died? He got eaten by some fairies.
>>155284403He wasn't eaten.
