dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

That feel when every random guy in the background in a space bar that was intended to be "what a bunch of weird characters" winds up being interconnected and important in increasingly implausible ways morshupls

It's so goddamned stupid and this is coming from someone who likes the star wars comics and some of the EU.

Gulp Shitto doesn't need to be a sith master in exile with 150 years worth of backstory.

One of my earliest points of friction with the fandom was the "WHO WOULD WIN IN A FIGHT" posts that dominated forums everywhere, almost all of them focused on (estimated, usually) midi-chlorian count for everyone involved. It's just calipers for Revan stans. cringe

That shit sucks ass

DUHH COULD GOKU BEAT UP SUPERMAN??? (9000 REPLIES)

btw the correct answer is always Darth Nihilus

dude was an actual walking black hole of spiritual death and literally only lost because he got sick of being too cool and decided to log off

the dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural

That was the most deeply disappointing "boss" encounter in KOTOR 2. sicko-wistful

yea

I love the skullet Jedi master exile dude you meet at the end of Nar Shadda though, the light side dialogue resolution is basically you going "wtf dude, quit being a grouchy hermit and help me out" and him being like "eh sure why not"

"wtf dude, quit being a grouchy hermit and help me out" and him being like "eh sure why not"

Basically that part in Kung Pow: Enter the Fist where the master is asked twice about helping out and just goes "well... okay."

"LEAP THAT WALL IF YOU'RE SO GREAT"

"okay"

I'd like a pound of nuts

THAT'S A LOTTA NUTS

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago

I'd post more Kung Pow, but the Evil Council forbids it.

This is why Chewbacca is always my favorite glup shitto, he doesn't need any dialogue or backstory to do his narrative function, he's just "what if a really big sasquatch dude kicked ass and was a cool roguish guy's boyfriend (not gay)"

[–] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago

Every glub shitto wishes they could be Chewbacca. Instantly recognisable? Check. Cool weapon? Check. Completely understandable despite not speaking a single word of dialogue? Check. Has his own personality, skill set, and role in the story? Check, check, and check!

I saw the "you'll be dead" guy and Pundu Babu and I CLAPPED

Ok but this is not a random background part. He was created as a protag for an animated series that went 4(5?) seasons. Other characters? sure. But Zeb? Nah of course his wiki is gonna be long he features in like 85% of the episodes of an entire show.

Maybe I'm just salty that there isn't more Chopper. angery

I don't think they are ready yet for an R-rated star wars movie.

Remember when we got the Ahsoka ep with him at the court martial the same week Canadian Parliament cheered for that Nazi?

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 4 points 3 months ago

It depends on how it would be R-Rated. If it was just Ahsoka gratuitously victimized with awooga hypersus Gambo style I'm sure the hogs would gobble it up.

[–] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Tbf he’s one of the protagonists of a show that ran for 4 seasons. This particular time it’s not a random background character

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago

I already knew that but I still wanted to make a segue dunk on everyone in the Mos Eisley Cantina having interconnected backstories over time. Let me have this. angery
