Name one character who's just as likeable now as they were 20 years ago.
>>81308407
And Meowth to add on too that, seriously, Team Rocket shouldn't be so good.
Hitler
>>81308372
Lionel Hutz
Scooby Doo?
The dog.
Most of the Arthur cast?
Mr Burns
>>81308407
Just a stupid fad, they said.
>>81308407
No. He's a shitty mary sue.
>>81308372
Bernie Sanders
>>81308372
Maggie's still okay.
>>81308750
Nah, Mr.Burns has turned into a literal supervillain now instead of a selfish penny pincher
>>81308372
Bee Man
>>81310362
Despite what the writers say he was usually still portrayed with some sense of humanity in the earlier seasons. Sometimes he was actually genuinely nice or kind.
>>81308549
He's been dead for years though.
Jughead jones
>>81308372
Punisher.
Which is to say, not likeable at all.
>>81308782
>look ma I'm using words I don't understand!
Spider-man
>>81310728
I want to agree with you, but he made a deal with Mephisto and didn't become a Ghost Rider because of it. That shit ain't right.
>>81308372
Lenny
>>81308372
Have five.
>>81310362
>Nah, Mr.Burns has turned into a literal supervillain now instead of a selfish penny pincher
>A Literal Supervillain Now
>Fucking NOW
You know what, I'm betting this is bait for someone to post the "Who shot Mr Burns" scene where he literally blocks out the fucking sun so that he can charge everyone for it, but I'm going to be even more oldasfuck with my references.
Fred Flintstone maybe?
>>81308782
Bullshit, Pickachu in the series has lost countless times and never got the run back.
>>81308782
A Mary Sue who keeps getting downgraded so he doesn't upstage everyone else.
>>81311409
Scooby Doo is about as relevant as Brendan Fraser.
>>81308372
Barney
>>81310430
Not true, Craig is more likeable now he's with Tweek.
>>81310362
What? Mr Burns is hardly ever written as a villain anymore. He's litterally just Old: The Character now.
>>81311730
He's an evil republican now.
>>81308372
One guess. Guess who?
>>81311730
>>81311465
Pretty much this.
Both the early egotistical-but-also-vaguely-lonely misanthrope (that pretty much only existed in season 2) and the cartoonish supervillain interpretation were great. After the whole Who Shot Burns things they deliberately made him more out of touch/antiquated instead of evil, to the point that I don't even know what the fuck he's supposed to be anymore.
Flying Hellfish was maybe the last really good episode he was in.
>>81308869
fucking this.
Jubilee.
>>81311947
I thought he was actually surprisingly well characterised in Season 15's Fraudcast News.
But yeah. Season 7 definitely was when they started making him a weaker character.
>>81308407
I miss when he was a fat animal.
Charlie Brown.
So older than 1996?
Fuck it, outside of live action I'm going with Transformers characters.
Starscream more specifically since he ends up in everything.
