>2010s cartoons now have a pass so people can shit on 2020s cartoons
I sometimes think back to that thread where 90s fags were shitting on 2000s cartoons for "ruining" the art and animation.

I want fang to sit on my face

It's going to be awkward when the Cat in the Hat movie ends up streaming with the canned Looney Tunes movies on HBO Max eventually.

Total Ketchup win.

>>200360
>>200361
I’m pretty sure that 90% of the reason SU beat MD last year wasn’t a direct dunk on MD. It’s just that SU is more well known and had a wider unironic following. MD is legit a circlejerk that has very little weight outside it’s general.

>>200372
Tourney's razor; never attribute to spite and meta that which is adequately explained by general recognizability. See also, Creepy Susie vs Wonder Woman.

>Superman and K-pop Demon Hunters are trending online
Say hello to your new mr. and ms. /co/.

>>200374
>another famous comic icon and random fotm girl (probably rigged)
Wouldn’t be that surprising desu.

If Superman won, Goku truly would never recover

>>200378
>Bejita rigs it for Superman

I wouldn't mind at all if Superman won.

>>200391
Bejita…

>>200369
Dog eating Ketchup! (full length version)

I am so ready for the twitter DCfags and Kpop General rig arc

>Ketchup
Jobs to CHAD Zha 2.

Looney Tunes is still WB no matter how much you try to deny it. CN was always a technical thing though.

>>200399
>Nig Zha 2.
Wont even qualify

>>200405
China soft power is on its side.

Chinese animation isn't remotely western so he'd get sent to barred if anyone tried nominating him.

>>200406
All the people that would vote for the girl protagonist are banned from using 4chan lol

Will we ever get another Nickelodeon winner?

>>200413
CHAD Zha is a guy gaynon.

I haven't been keeping up much with new /co/ related stuff this year, are there any potential big up and coming threats to watch out for like Pomni and Joker last year?

>>200417
Superman and Fantastic Four are getting hyped up movies so that MIGHT move the needle in their favor.
K-Pop Demon Hunters keeps getting brought up but the board interest seems very low.
Glitch came out with Gaslight District while Knights of Guinevere is looking to be a no show.
Common Side Effects was well received so it may at least qualify.

>>200378
>>200391
It should be the Magical Girl Superman to piss off Batfags and their JJ Abrams show again.

>>200420
No one cares about himbo Superman or trying to show up Caped Crusader.
The only thing people ever cared about was the brown tomboy and she turned out to be the very definition of FOTM.

>>200420
>tribalfagging within the same company
Can we not?

>>200422
NO, I MUST BE RETARDED AND SELF DEFEATING IN A POPULARITY CONTEST!

MAWS fags are the DC equivalent of Risefags in that they colonize the hot new entry and ignore everything else, even shitting on the source material and older entries. They'll whine about oldfags not giving their show a chance but then turn their noses up to stuff that comes after. And that's when they aren't beefing with other shows.

>>200419
Yeah, the only ones I feel could get anywhere out of these are Superman and maybe Mel on a luckier bracket.

Superman won't qualify because a dimension of super intelligent monkeys will vote for everyone except for him so he ends up at the bottom

There are niggas honestly still arguing in the dead thread.

>>200417
Outside CSE having maybe enough liking to get a character in there is basically nothing new that might get enough interest. Besides what other anon mentioned there is also Wylde Pak that is new but don't think it has enough audience to make it.
This year is more likely to focus on new adaptions leading to boosts (or declines) for Superman, King of the Hill, Bad Guys, etc

>>200435
>Wylde Pak
Something for you know who to spill his spaghetti over at least.

Superman winning would actually not be a big surprise. He has a better history than Spider-man did in tourneys. He was an inaugural top seed and E8. He just kinda fell off from what I can only assume is the mainstream mascot disadvantage.

>Murder Drones Plus4chan board now has almost 50k more posts then /tnt/
Our response?

>>200438
So?

“As I get older, the comic reading community leaves me more and more unsettled. As a kid, I thought reading superhero stories as an adult was just the same as reading any other fiction. Fun entertainment, conversation pieces, nothing much more than that. But when I see the way grown adults are treating the material, it feels more like arrested development. It’s like the “it’s real to ME” professional wrestling fan. And these man babies don’t just become gatekeepers to the fandom, they build this sense of entitlement to the creative process. In their minds, there are no more creators, just caretakers of their headcanons. “Make the thing that makes me feel safe and secure”.

And there are strong parallels between this attitude- this sense of entitlement to comfort above all else- and what attracts people to fascism. To support fascism is to reject a complex world, put on blinders, and insist on a simple version of the world that you feel will make you more comfortable within your bubble. That sounds like Comicgate, but it also sounds like MCU stans yelling at the rest of cinema for not embracing Marvel movies and worshipping at their altar. The whole conceit of this sub was supposed to be that online comic book spaces are a hellscape, and this is a space where we can safely take the piss out of it and actually be some normal adults about comics. We’re a part of a creepy community…“

>>200440
>It’s like the “it’s real to ME” professional wrestling fan.
Sums up my feelings with the constant /pw/ posts.

>>200438
Ignore it?

>>200443
McMahon posting was supposed to be serious?

>>200446
Again, wrestling fans.

Why do people have such a bug up their butt about superhero media? You could read basic shonen fighting manga and watch ATLA all you want but read/watch something with superheroes in it and you get weird ass responses like "reeeeee fucking man baby weirdo, you have fascist leanings!"

>>200447
/pw/ faggotry has never remotely come across as that.

>>200450
You haven't bee near enough wrestling fans and it showsz

>>200424
i have never seen this happen ever

>>200454
I have.

>>200455
okay

>>200454
It's just Batkeks trying to demoralize Superchads.

>>200462
Shut the fuck up.

>>200450
/pw/ faggotry has nothing to do with normal wrestling fans. It’s basically just /dbs/ funposting.

>>200467
>>200451

>>200440
People always poo poo on black and white morality tales as "rejecting a complex world" as if consuming media like Game of Thrones, Mad Men, or The Sopranos makes you so much wiser to the world. Not shitting on those shows but come on. This whole post reads like some joyless fuck who gets off on claiming they’re superior to those other icky nerds.

>>200372
I feel like SU was the last universal show on /co/. It was controversial but everyone watched it and could talk about it. Ever since the start of the 2020’s it’s felt like all newer series get sectioned off to specific crowds or the next generation.

>>200477
Why the fuck are you taking a post directly copypasted from a Reddit thread at face value.

>>200440
You know it’s Reddit cause of le fascism out of nowhere.

>>200438
wait how the fuck

>>200490
dronetism baybee!!!!!!!!!!

Superman traced Invincible twice.

>>200511
First he ends Dragon Ball Super on a cliffhanger, now he's drawing for our arch-nemesis Superman? How could Toyotaro betray us like this?

>>200511
Dude what if the Kryptonians were evil conquerors like the Saiyans?!
Gunn you fucking hack, as if hiring Tom King wasn't bad enough…

>>200481
Don't let this distract you from the fact Lars cucked Steven of his own show now

Elmo started his campaign early

>>200589
>Elon is trying to be cool and enter the tourneys

>>200576
No more than Frasier cucked the cast of Cheers out of their show.

>>200589
That poser is just trying to steal Bert's schtick.

>>200549
And of course /co/ is trying to use the movie to bash Jews.

>>200601
Reminder that mods are shared with /pol/. If you ever see Jews being awkwardly forced into a conversation, chances are its one of the mods themselves trying to stoke conversation.

>>200437
He was legit robbed by Marvel.

>>200635
Support after getting roped into that godawful fart fetish comic.

>>200635
Superman will win thanks to a /pol/ boost.

>>200635
Paradoxically this will ensure a victory for batman

>>200595
It's amazing how that dipshit made space and robots uncool.

>>200654
If one guy is all it takes for you to find something uncool, you were NGMI.

>>200642
He was created by two Jewish guys, was played by a Jewish actor recently, and teamed up with an intelligent black dude in the movie.
/pol/ will not be boosting shit.

>>200664
I do think it's funny how there was a huge nontroversy over the immigrant allegory only for the movie to come in and fuck with it.

Well, it seems this year's theme is superheroes judging by the thread. What non DC and non Marvel action cartoon might have a chance this year?

>>200671
Actually seems like a pretty accurate prediction. Marvel Rivals has been doing well year-round and the response to capeshit releases have been looking surprisingly positive besides Harley, of course. She's basically doomed for a round 1 freebee
Comics already had a surprising increase of qualifiers last year, and the iron is hotter then even with Spiderman's win. It'll be interesting to see how they preform this year.

>>200699
I'm hoping Ben Grimm actually qualifies this time around, he was robbed last year.

>>200656
Space and robots IRL, retard.

>>200701
That doesn’t change my point at all retard.

>>200700

This place really does make dumb predictions.

>>200701
Space exploration and building robots IRL is a cool thing and I'm not letting one(1) rich autist ruin it.

Is it weird I think the evil country and president were more Putin and Russia than Israel and Bibi?

>>200706
>Implying /co/ gives a fuck about what /pol/ thinks

>>200721
You haven't seen the Superman threads, have you?

>>200725
Anon, Jewish hate wasn't at its peak in 2019. Unless Ben Grimm goes full 1488 in the new movie, he's not getting in.

>>200722
>one thread has completely devolved into /mu/ and political shitflinging
I think this new movie was a monkey's paw.

>>200727
Just /co/ things~

>Superman's campaign will just be people talking about Zionism
He is legitimately fucked.

>>200730
How is any of that a bad thing?

>>200732
Piss off.

Given the studios and comic publishers we haven’t had a non-Jewish winner yet
Only chance we have to stop this is Glitch

>>200742
>episode-specific merchandise as soon as new shows/episodes premiere
That seems pretty Jewish to me.

>>200743
Vivziepop…

I wonder if the new Captain America movie would have been more successful if people projected their politics on it.

>>200741
Oh hey Goldman.

>>200742
Glitch has no chance. Not while Pomni’s out at least.

>>200769
CHADlight CHADstrict will pick up the torch in her stead.

Buford is surprisingly the highlight of the new Phineas and Ferb season and I can imagine him doing well this year.

>>200786
The one thing with Mr /co/ in particular is there is so much involved being among the most prominent characters in your series and the legacy stigma that is hard to overturn for casual viewers. That has happened before and even being the standout highlight character of new adaptions does not seem to do much in most cases. Buford being down the character roster order and not being a high contender before would need to be overcome
For Mr /co/ it’s going to be Doof, and going by history Perry and Ferb might get in. Buford would be surprising

>>200736
Make me Jewboy.

>>200819
>>200821
>>200824
Don't want to shit up the /v/ thread further, but I think part of it is that even in 2023 the /co/ consensus on capeshit wasn't all that great (or at least for tourneyfags). Keep in mind that was the year where Spider-Man jobbed to fucking Mr. Krabs in round 1.

>>200832
Hank’s a great heroes winner. It’s just ic funposting about him being bad. The idea it has to go to a cape is juvenile.

>>200834
I'm not saying Hank was a bad winner, I'm saying he likely would've won a Heroes tournament held on /co/ proper regardless of what happens. The notion that he "needed to win Mr. /co/ first" could also apply to most characters like say Courage or Jack tbdesu.

>>200834
I mean, the winner of villains was capeshit, from the same company as Spider-Man at that. I made the point where even setting aside capes, there's plenty of action and adventure cartoons that fit the theme better.
Again not knocking on Hank but I would prefer he win the main tournaments while someone like Optimus win heroes. If it's the other way around it just looks weird.

>>200834
It feels more like cope to try and get them a title in something first then try to justify them earning it as fitting the contest theme afterwards
Aka Brisby for barred

>>200839
But as >>200835 said, you could literally apply the pity cope thing to just about any character who qualified in the /co/ tournaments even if they're unambiguously heroic. When you decide to vote against someone like Samurai Jack in a Heroes tournament because you think he deserves better in the long run, then you're left with overt /tnt/ picks like Shou Fu Kan and Mao Mao dominating the competition and probably would've gotten /co/ to laugh at us even more if they win.

The results of heroes was just weird. Looking at the E8 line up feels more like a mix of /v/ and /tnt/ with a bit of /co/ thrown in.

>>200845
Good for them

>>200845
is every scrap of MD news gonna get posted here now?

>>200845
Oni Press has really just become a licensed comic factory. They also had a new AT comic out.

>>200847
Yes. Didn't you hear? This is the /md/ website now.

>>200845
Cool.
>jobs R1 again

>>200834
>the idea of super HEROES winning HEROES of /co/ is juvenile
Yeesh.

>>200889
It really is.

>>200889
The idea it HAS to be “super” heroes.

>>200891
So why wasn't it a problem that a "super" villain won?

>>200890
Well /tnt/ tourneys are inherently juvenile so that tracks.

>>200891
Because Taiwanese-Japanese puppets are so much better.

>>200893
Boop situation where if Ruber won we won’t be able to funpost him anymore

>>200897
Sounds more like a king situation.

>>200898
Well it’s also a Boop because people regretted voting for Ruber in finals and voted Doom to save face

>>200893
It wasn’t. The point is thinking it has to be.
>>200895
Never said that.
This place continues to have garbage reading comprehension.

Your new Mr. /co/!
Fixed | Director’s Cut | Official Red Band Teaser | Netflix

Starting to get real tired of moaning that the side-tournaments, where part of the appeal is being able to do shit with characters that'll never in a billion years make it in the normal league, can have some weird results sometimes.
Yeah buddy, we've all surely heard your complaints about every elite 8 member that made it into the now nearly 3-year old Heroes of /co/ weren't the objective best picks they could've. Would it kill you to move on too? It's like if I felt the need to shoehorn my opinion that "Joan of Arc making /his/ 2024's Elite 4 was a crime against humanity" every single fucking time people discussed women that preform well

>>200900
I take it you must have garbage reading comprehension.

>>200900
Funny thing; I've never seen people claim heroes had to be capeshit. The only time I've ever seen it brought up is whenever Hank gets the mildest pushback.

>>200942
I think this all started with the random bitching about not enough women in irrelevant side tourney E8s.

I just hate how thanks to one faggot we can't criticize any picks otherwise you're that guy shit posting a pick.

>>200946
They confuse the pushback over Hank being a boring regular dad as being butthurt that a pure paragon like Superman or Optimus Prime couldn't win.

>>200971
I'm all for it if it means Genndy's cult will never claim another victory.

>>200942
Seconding. I just don't understand the significance of continously debating the results of a tournament that doesn't exist outside the minds of 20 or so people.

>>200942
>>200980
The tourneys mean a lot basically to the small crowd of tourney autists here. Winning is seen as a big deal and payoff for lesser likely characters and can even effect the jobber status or whatever of that character. If it’s not to be taken serious negatively then it shouldn’t mean much positively either.

>>200982
>If it’s not to be taken serious negatively then it shouldn’t mean much positively either
Well yeah, I'm not one to give /tnt/ winners much importance either way. I see some go on about "campooner culture", and they do have a point when it comes to 4chan, but aren't the tourneys held here the one time this attitude is justifiable? /tnt/ tournament threads ARE a glorified RP chatroom consisting of around 10 people. I think it's way more unhealthy to try and force a vision of them operating under the same standards the actual tournaments do.

>>200983
>a glorified RP chatroom consisting of around 10 people.
Going by poll numbers it’s more like 70.

>>200986
I know a guy that confessed to me he used 5 emails to vote, lol.

>>200983
There's literally no point in holding side tournaments here anymore if they're not actually about which characters you like best that fit a certain theme, but rather which campaigner proxy pick should have their ass kissed for a month before the next tourney.

>>200988
They aren't
Both the huge campaign hype picks lost to the finals to characters who fit the theme

>>200993
That's one year.
Where's two?

>>200988
On the one hand I agree that this is kind of the tourney autist board and there should be more focus on campooners. But I still interpret tourneys conventionally. I think the right ground is giving reward to good campaigners by having them place high, but not win the whole thing. Like it was cool AASD got finals but I still went Shaggy and Scoob cause it just felt more right. Glamgals and Torres were cases of going too far and it looks awkward in hindsight.

>>200997
>You are encouraged to play, you should never win.
What's with this mindset?

>>200999
Passion =/= likelihood.

>>201000
That doesn't say anything. If you play, you play to win. What's even the purpose of campaigning if it isn't supposed to win? Entertain you?

>>201001
You can absolutely play to win, it doesn't necessarily mean you *will* win.

>>201002
That applies to anything and everything, it's a meaningless sentence.

>>201001
Masturbating can be a reason. Porn OC is more fun on the blue board tournaments, you expect it in /trash/. It's like how the free candy is exciting on Halloween, but if you go to a bank or a doctor's office on some regular day and they give you candy, it's REALLY exciting.

>>201003
You're not owed a victory because of your big campaign for your literal who or super popular powerhouse, especially during an opinion-oriented tournament in a mongolian basketweaving forum inhabited by gay furries or the like. Campaigns could boost your character, but what guarantee do you have that it will convince everyone to be on your side if they have their own picks to vouch for? There's always going to be roadblocks, that's the very nature of competition.

>>200999
I can’t control how others are gonna vote but to me it’s the conclusion of still treating it like a character tourney but with more leeway cause it’s just a side thing. When it comes down to it I’m not gonna crown something for a campaigner. It should foremost ultimately be about the character.

>>200988
IMO I have always seen the side tournaments here as an excuse to campaign more because the voting pool is incredibly small and closed to begin with. It's why it's very silly any time people try to "canonize" these and put them at the same level as the main tournaments, or spend days upon days repeating the same retarded flame wars about how Literally Who shouldn’t have placed in the top 8.

>>201005
I feel I'm talking to an AI. A lot of words but nothing meaningful. Of course nobody is owned a victory, it's part of campaigning to convince you to support them. How effective it is depends a lot in circumstances. If you campaign for a literal who, it's not going to be very effective. If you campaign for someone who has the chances, why should a win be discouraged? According to your logic they should never win because it was campaigned.

>>201008
>I feel I'm talking to an AI. A lot of words but nothing meaningful.
Ironic considering your post.
>If you campaign for a literal who, it's not going to be very effective.
Well gee I wonder why anyone would want to bother campaigning then. You've basically answered your own question here.
>If you campaign for someone who has the chances, why should a win be discouraged?
Maybe anons think that character is shit and don't want to see them win.

>>201009
Not the guy you are replying to, but if this >>200997 was your post it's possible you didn't word things the best way. Saying "I want to reward campaigners by having them place high but never win" is its own kind of meta, because it implies a character having a heavy push dissuades you from supporting them to win. What you were probably trying to say is that when it comes to the final result, the tournament campaign has no bearing on your decision.

>>201010
Oh, no, that post isn't me. And for the record I don't think those are the right set of words either, even if I do agree that campaigns shouldn't be the top priority when voting for someone.

trying to claim a character is more fitting winner or deserves to win over others is really an attempt to disguise your subjective preferences as an objective measurement

>>201012
I’ve been saying this for years

>>201012
Congrats, you just described campaigning

>>201012
At the very least you could agree there’s a difference between voting for a character and voting for a campaign or campaigner. What is prioritized has basically always been the debate. When it comes to something like heroes/villains and determining which is more thematically “fitting” you’re right it’s pretty subjective.

>>201018
More like tournament meta discourse in a nutshell.

>>201020
>here’s why Peter Plunderer is more deserving than Larry Literalwho
This statement could either be part of a campaign or a psyop to trick anons into thinking your pick was always the correct one years after the fact. Just about every campaign is inherently used to tell everyone why your subjective opinion should be the objective one.

>>201021
Yes of course, but people also do this as part of the off-season discussion, be it when rating winners or stating one character should have won over another. Doesn't matter if you come with a campaigner mindset or not, because even ranking a list of characters based on their writing, presentation and importance is also a matter of opinion.

>>201022
Except that’s literally what I said in the post.

>>201009
>Ironic considering your post.
You said nothing, it was a reply to your nothing.
>Maybe anons think that character is shit and don't want to see them win.
How's this a logical response to "character who has chances"? If there's a chance, there's implicit support, with or without a campaign. So you go and spitevote a campaign just because you didn't like it was campaigned even though the character has legitimate support behind it? Just say it clear, you hate OC, you want a boring popularity pool without any interaction whatsoever.

>>201027
>Just say it clear, you hate OC, you want a boring popularity pool without any interaction whatsoever.
That's not what's being said or implied, but keep projecting because you want an anti-OC boogeyman to own.

Literally all of this is opionated, a character "winning" means jack shit beyond "some fags clicked a google forms account" and trying to pretend anything is objective is peak retard. You can say "I think Scrimblo bimblo sucks dick" and it's technically just as correct as "Scrimblo bimblo is teh best winner evar", the entire point of these is to have a more charismatic and interesting argument for why one should be liked over the other.

>>201032
>the entire point of these is to have a more charismatic and interesting argument for why one should be liked over the other.
But that’s pointless if everything is le subjective, including any value you attribute to what’s “interesting” and “charismatic.” Unless this is a roundabout of way of justifying how great an ooc schizo GET campaign that corrals the most retard hype.

>>201036
Far from it. I'm talking in terms of the character themselves. If someone says "Look guys, I made pingas wingus a retarded gay furry he's so frikken cool vote for him" I can say "Well pingas wingus must be a shit character then, because that's nothing like him at all and you can't actually articulate him being good". It's technically subjective, someome like Scout is a great character, but he was saddled with an utterly moronic Schizo abuser campaign in King that's nothing like him. That was just an anon's really stupid argument for why he thought Scout was a good character.

gay retards fighting

>>201039
You just noticed today?

I still think you people give way too much of a shit about the little tournaments held here.

>>201038
You’re talking about what I would say is the purpose of threads then. I wouldn’t say it’s the point of the whole tourney though.
The way I see it it’s fundamentally “how much I like a character” followed by thread support as secondary.

>>200971
>>200974
If not industrycuck, very big fags nonetheless.

>>201048
>Poopdickschizo

>>201064
Genndy cultists love their poopdickschizos to blame shit on.

Since /v/ is discussing it, how do you rate the ms. winners separate from any meta?

>>201083
Jenny>Betty>Monarch>Wuya>Fang>Frankie>Spinel

The idea that there's a Genndy cult that voted for anything made by him doesn't hold water when Dexter's Lab, Sym-Bionic Titan, and Unicorn: Warriors Eternal don't make it far.

>>201086
Samurai Jack, Primal, and Clone Wars 2003 all doing well or outright winning outweigh the other half. I don't know another creator with a successful tournament portfolio like that.

>>201087
I always felt calling Clone Wars 2003 Genndy picks is the same technicality as calling Spider-Man a Disney winner or Johnny Bravo a WB winner.

>>201088
I mean, Disney and WB weren't responsible for their creations, and CW was Grievous' debut with a unique interpretation rarely seen anywhere else, pretty much why people care about him in the first place.
The real technicality is calling Grievous a Disney winner.

>>201083
1. Jenny (fuck anyone that says mlaatr was bad. And Jenny’s extremely likable and the premier robo waifu of /co/ media.)
2. Wuya (good villainess, I liked XS and she was a highlight, also probably my first evil lady crush.)
3. Frankie (very likable, nostalgic attachment, foster’s was just okay though and she was basically the best part.)
4. Spinel (regardless what you think of SU, Spinel was the best character to come out of it. Crazy fucking waifubait. It’s absolutely understandable why she was big as she was in the moment.)
5. Betty (like almost all of /co/ I don’t have any attachment to her and have only seen a little of her media, but I like the little I’ve seen.
6. Monarch (VB is cool, never had an especial draw to her though, liked her husband a lot more.)
7. Fang (cool show, T-Rex are cool, but y’know she’s a T-Rex.)

>UWE sucked ass
>fixed looks horrendous
Tourneys aside, wtf happened to genndy?

>>201165
The simple answer is that he doesn't have Paul Rudish carrying him anymore.

>>201166
Was Paul Rudish working on Primal? Because that waa great, at least by comparison.

>>201170
He was still working at Disney on the Mickey Mouse shorts, so no. I'm honestly convinced Primal is a fluke because SJ season 5 wasn't that great and Unicorn goes without saying.

>>201165
Sometime someone just loses the touch.

>>201165
>>201175
I would say two misses out of several hits is hardly losing your touch. People really over exaggerate when a talented artist doesn't hit gold every single time.

>>201171
Primal wasn't very good.

>>201166
>>201170
>>201165
Where are people getting that Paul Rudish was the one carrying everything?

>>201203
Primal season 1 was raw unfiltered kino from start to finish, season 2 was still pretty good in my opinion even if the ship arc kind of dragged and the ending was a WTF. And even if you think season 2 was a complete dumpster fire season 1 still completely holds up on its own.ys.

I imagine if Heist Safari ends up decent people will go right back to worshipping Genndy. This has become a cycle.

>>201203
I’d say the only episode that’s outright bad is the ending, the British episode had nothing to do with the story but was good on its own.

So yeah this is bait

>>201216
People not finding the things you like good isn't bait.

>>201219
You’re right, it’s not bait, it’s retardation

>>201220
Why am I not surprised this place is defensive over the show with a cloaca in it?

>>201209
Unironically it was the anti Genndy shitter who pushed it until people started actually believing it.

>>201226
poopdicked again

>>201228
>observing something that happened is poopdicking

>Talking about Genndy has become impossible thanks to people throwing muh poopdick everywhere
Honestly it was bound to happen

>>201225
Stfu fang is hot

Does anyone remember that fake character people made up to nominate for Mr. /co/ last year or the year before? It was some animal OC character and I remember the creator started getting annoyed by him showing up which was funny

>>201247
Carl from Dragged in? Of course we do.

>Genndy’s disaster ruins his characters chances
>KOTH reboot going to be hated
Is Daffy the front runner now? Or will we get a King /v/ first time E8 winner like all years but one?

>>201249
Don’t care still voting for samurai jack

>>201249
>Genndy’s disaster ruins his characters chances
How the fuck did you get that idea?

>201249
Damn, now this is some actual bait.

It will kind of suck when more Craig McCracken characters start doing well and get more heat attached to them.

>>201254
I should have put, "do much better" but point is, McCracken picks winning more would draw more attention.

I think Raven and Toph are in a good position. They can both play into the "NSA robbed us we deserve a win angle" that Fang and Frankie saw success with, especially Raven who's arguably been robbed by both Spinel in 2019 and NSA in 2023. Not to mention they appeal to the nostalgia block since this is the big Eight E8 year and both Raven and Toph were the initial front runners and favorites to win in 2018.

I'm not sure if they'll win though, since they've both gotten far multiple times and a 'robbed girl' just won last year.

>>201267
If Toph wins we need art of her and fang hanging out in the winners circle, bookends if you will.

>>201267
That would would be cool but it’s ms. /co/ and that’s too orderly and predicted a thing to happen.

>>201271
It will be what happened with Chel last year. In fact the same falseflag funposting has already been called out. Don’t be surprised if it happens.

>>201267
>>201270
Counterpoint and how it could go horribly wrong; this line of thinking paints them too much as meta picks and pushing the "they were robbed, they deserved it" angle might get people to vote against them.
Fang and Frankie got on more by general likability and campaigning.

>>201273
>likability
Fang wasn’t popular though

>>201274
Her winning the popularity contest implies otherwise.

Raven and Toph's hype is going to jinx them, I can already see it happen

>>201275
She was majorly boosted by the finale and irony and hypetrain meta. She’s the closest /co/ has to a King /v/ winner.

>>201274
NSA host rig pick

>>201277
Spinel is closer to a king /v/ winner than any other winner.

>>201277
>>201279
>the two worst Ms. /co/ winners are on par with King's lineup
and people will say King is better than Ms.

>>201280
No one has ever said this.

>>201280
I didn't see Betty Boop mentioned.

>>201279
>>201280
Shadow yes, the orders no.

>>201283
Even Shadow is better than Fang.

>>201278
Funny how Wuya doesn't get as much shit for this…

>>201285
She does. It’s why she’s basically a non-entity now.

>People seethe over Fang and try to convince others no one really likes her
>Amaterasu on the other hand is a heavy hitter and plenty of people are cheering her on to win it all
Why is it this way?

>>201287
More people are willing to speak positive about Wuya here than Fang.

>>201277
>irony
More people genuinely like Fang and her source material compared to 90% of king's winner.

>>201289
Not when the host connection was revealed.

>>201288
/v/'s Kamiya dicksucking is massive compared to /co/'s Genndy worship.

>>201293
Just a few days ago someone spoke fondly of Wuya irregardless of the host connection.

>>201295
That was what you think about winners as characters unrelated to tourney meta.

>>201294
In general, Capcom fans in /v/ are comparable to Genndy cultists.

>>201299
The tourneys have no Balls now.

>>201299
Wasn't it just under investigation from a month ago?

>>201297
And somehow only Jenny seemed to be agreeable.

>>201299
Qrd

>>201302
I think Monarch and Frankie are pretty universally liked characters on /co/.

>>200671
>Well, it seems this year's theme is superheroes judging by the thread.
I am fully behind this development
Aquaman’s rousing song of heroism (Batman brave and the bold)

>>201273
What about the 2018 angle? They were the two high seed favorites to win that year, they had a mudslinging rivarly, and eventually both fell to spitevoting and the dark horse Jenny emerging in Round 3. People do want a bit of an all-stars nostalgia run especially since the rules are back to 2020 style.

Jack/Hank and Toph/Raven are like the ideal eighth year/all star bookend winners all things considered.
But Jack and Hank’s chances don’t look good and ms. is a crapshoot so my prediction is Daffy and [inoffensive and under the radar consistently qualifying girl who hasn’t made E8 yet].

>>201308
If it's nostalgia you're talking about, you don't need anything more than "these are 2000s characters you grew up with". No shade intended, that's just the big appeal in the tournaments.

>>201309
I don't get why people are doomsaying Samurai Jack and saying Daffy is the only hope. The last piece of media Jack was in was the fifth season and that never hurt him. I highly doubt the dog balls movie will somehow hurt him by tangential association.

The foolish samurai will FALL, giving way to Aku's victory

>>201309
Jack should be fine, Hank will be fine unless his new season completely shits the bed just before the tournament starts.

>>201320
Look at the bright side, at worst it'll be funny posting material like Puss was 2023
Actually Puss is still relevant as a Kwab, since Death won "sexiest man" with very little effort in his first go. Puss didn't even get close, KEK
