Sometimes I think to myself "hey, maybe this character needs a break" and then I remember I'm the one who's not giving them one.
Did someone order a four-pack of Maxes?
Always open to requests!
You not alone
I’m asking animation fans to please check out the series Pantheon since it’s a great show trapped in streaming service hell
i am normal and calm and definitely not crying right now
thinking about Nimona’s face in this scene because she already knows how this plays out, she’s lived this already and while Bal has the hope that she once had in his eyes, she KNOWS what happening before the sword is even raised. She’s NOT SURPRISED she’s NOT SHOCKED she’s only DISAPPOINTED that Ambrosius can turn on the man he loves because she’s already played this out with Gloreth
all of your feelings are valid as in “worth acknowledgment and internal consideration” but some of your feelings are also stupid and mean, and you need to deal with that shit without making it anyone else’s problem
and then they adopted each other and lived happily ever after, the end (HA)
so yeah, go watch Nimona, it's great
Something intresting about TKO...... the fact he calls Carol mom confirms he's part of KO, and the fact he calls KO faker makes you wonder how he was made. He considers himself separate from KO, but is clearly connected in some way
Legit like almost everything T.K.O. does shows that he’s his own person with his own emotions, but still completely connected to K.O.
Normally, when there’s an ‘evil’ version of the main character, they don’t get much in terms of personality outside of ambition and a killer look. I mean, just check out Daybreaker- she’s got an awesome design and a reason for being the pony she was in Starlight’s nightmare, but we don’t get more out of her. We’re not supposed to get more out of her. She’s the villain, and we aren’t supposed to be sympathetic to villains.
But T.K.O. was never really portrayed as a villain? Like, he wasn’t acting like a hero, but he wasn’t interested in destroying or taking over the plaza, or joining up (or taking down) Lord Boxman. Heck, he could’ve gone out to find Shadowy Figure (coughProfessorVCough) to get more power, but that didn’t interest him. He likes how powerful he is now, plain and simple, done and done.
He even tells K.O., in no uncertain terms, that he’d never be a hero without him. T.K.O. is just a misguided edgy hero wannabe.
And even when he was throwing his tantrum, that’s all it was? A tantrum. He didn’t suddenly get it into his head that he wanted to destroy everyone he knew and loved- he was just pissy and bratty and way too powerful. (though I don’t know if he was serious when he asked Carol for ‘last words’. I mean… why would he want to kill her? Because she called him a phase? He’s still a part of K.O., and he’s a huge mama’s boy, and I can’t imagine that none of that leaked into him)
He keeps a consistent dialogue up when he’s fighting, too. He yells at Enid for ignoring him. He tells Gar he can clean up his own messes. He hates it when K.O. won’t fight him, and even seems a bit uncertain about continuing the bout (his “don’t think I’ll take it any easier on you” is a trademark “what the fuck do I do about this?” in Kid Cartoon Lingo)
When Gar tells T.K.O. he loves Carol, T.K.O. stops in his tracks and listens. It’s the same when Carol arrives on the scene. When Gar starts calling him a ‘real helpful boy’ (which edgy mcedgerson over here would take as demeaning, and it can easily come across that way, too) and Carol calls him a phase, he starts right back into it. T.K.O. has his own feelings and ambitions outside of Rage Mode.
Personally, I think he’s been growing in K.O. for a while, and the boy just didn’t know. His fear of Shadow K.O. could have been his subconscious, which would be aware that something was rattling the cage bars (and would also explain why K.O. didn’t know exactly what the fear was, only that he feared it). T.K.O.’s been kicking it for a while now, and he thinks that K.O. is the ‘weaker’ half of them.
THIS IS LATE BUT STILL WORTH IT !!!
