Why was Blackfire the only Tamaranean who wasn't orange?
>>
Oh no, she's orange as any other Tamaranean, it's the lack of green sclerae that sets her apart. Without the typical Tamaranean all-green eyes, she can easily pass as a superpowered asian chick, albeit with a pseudo Jersey spray-tan.
>>
>>81387846
why only question is why did they make her look so asian
>>
>>81388102
Because asians are evil
>>
>>81388176
Jackie chan and jade were pretty cool folks though, anon
>>
>>81388566
Jade wasn't but Jackie and Uncle were

because asian girls love tentacle monsters
>>
>>81388102
Cause of "muh waifu"
>>
>>81387846
Because she was born with a genetic disorder which messes with a tamaranean energy absorption.
>>
>>81388102
cause of we want the anime audience.
>>
>>81389093
this

I recall this being a thing in the comics.
>>
>>81389093
I thought some aliens did genetic experiments on her and that caused the change. Maybe I have it backwards and they experimented on her because she was different.
>>
>>81391102
Well in the comics Tamaraneans can only fly, only Starfire and Blackfire can shoot energy bolts and that's because they were experimented by the psions.
>>
>>81390289
Yeah and it's her supervillian origin.
>supposed to be heir to the throne
>but Tamaraneans are superstitious assholes who don't want a crippled princess
>instead it goes to her baby sister
>say fuck it and sell Tamaran to the citidael
>get captured by the guarfian's old pet lizards
>get experimented on.
>>
>>81387846
She's just really pale. She's the Tameranean equivalent of a goth.
>>
>>81391779
>goth
So she's objectively superior to Starfire.
>>
>>81391756

tfw we never got a Starfire focused season with backstory for her and Blackfire
>>
>>81391756
Wow, Tamaraneans sound like a bunch of pricks.
>>
>>81392169
They kinda are.
>>
>>81392169
>>81391756
>tfw no Blackfire anti-hero redemption story
>>
>>81392169
They're a religious warrior culture in space, so that kind of comes with the territory.
>>
>>81392276
Mind you I did leave out the part about How Blackfire personally saw to it that Star was a slave and had her tortured pretty regularly.
>>
>>81392358
Yeah, and Magneto joined the X-Men for a while.
>>
>>81392358
She had it coming.
Don't even try to claim that Blackfire wasn't completely in the right when she did that, because you'd be wrong if you did.
>>
>>81392406
If she had done it to the superstitious elders it would have been right. Doing it to Star was just petty and mean.
>>
>>81392513
No it wasn't, she deserved it.
>>
>>81392537
For what, not being born a filthy mutie?
>>
>>81392513
>implying she couldn't earn redemption by genuinely letting go of the hate she has for her sister

There have been even dumber heel-face turns in comics, Blackfire going "fuck y'all niggas I'm going to protect a planet that appreciates me" would barely register.
>>
>>81392651
The hell anon? Are you even replying to the right post?
>>
>>81392513
It was and also doesn't make any sense. Star was the only person who actually liked her, even her parents disowned but then again wolfman can't write female villains to save his life.
>>
>>81392777
Maybe she was jealous of Starfire and wanted to drag her down to her level?
>>
>>81392513

Starfire (and to a lesser extent, their brother) was pretty much the bane of Blackfire's existence.

BF was smarter, a better leader, a better fighter arguably prettier... but their parents were all, "Yeah, your sister isn't a gross black-haired cripple so we're going to give her your birthright and all our love and affection. Kindly go back to the attic and choke to death on your bucket of fish heads."

So while Star didn't really DESERVE what happened, it's pretty understandable why Blackfire would do it to her.

Also their parents were dead by that point, and you can't really torture corpses.
>>
>>81392846
Pretty much. She saw in Star everything she was told she couldn't be so she decided Star had to suffer the way she believed she was suffering.
>>
>>81392846
I guess but Star was literally the only person who nice to Blackfire.
>>
>>81392973

Yeah, because being nice to someone totally erases the years of densely-packed resentment and hate they have for you.
>>
>>81393198
Erase? No. She could have made the effort to move on instead of going full psycho hell bitch though.
>>
>>81393198
Resentment but where's this hate coming from? This is personally seeing that your sister is a slave to the cruelest master hate and it doesn't make sense why it would be there.
>>
>>81393517
It's a part of her genetic flaw I think. Her energy bolts and flight feed of hate and cruel thoughts, her power is feeding into her negativity and that leads into this viscous cycle.
>>
>>81391942
Pan, fucking stop already
>>
>>81393517

Uhh... yeah, it does. Blackfire was blamed for the Citadel blowing up a Tamaranian colony world on the day she was born. She was spat on, cast aside, derided and dehumanized, all because of things she literally had no control over. No matter what she did or how she tried to improve herself, all she ever got for her efforts was more scorn and shit heaped upon her head.

Meanwhile, here's her retard sister who has done nothing and is just absolutely showered with praise and love. Also her idiot coward of a brother who gets the same. But at least some day she'll be able to take the throne and show everyone that she's worth something, right? NOPE! Go fuck yourself with a hot iron rod, Blackfire, we're giving your incompetent little sister control of the Empire!

Komman'dr wants someone to suffer as much as she did. More, even. Because that's how it works, man: shit rolls downhill, and the abused become abusers. Little brother is missing, parents are dead, so who else is left to take the beating?

Little sister is.

>>81392169
>Space niggers

>>81388566
Jackie Chan was an actual communist nowadays.
>>
>>81398817
Pft, China isn't communist anymore. They're just a bunch of corrupt capitalist totalitarians.

And Jackie Chan is just a government shill. Disappointing.
>>
>>81398817
>was
>nowadays
You have to be 13 years old or older to post here.
>>
>>81395424
But little sis was there showering Blackfire with love right? Lil sis is pretty much the only light in Blackfire's life but you're telling me that Blackfire is so twisted that despite all that she still transfers her hatred of Tamaran rejecting onto the only good thing in her life.
That's crazy.
>>
>>81398817
Moron alert
>>
>>81399042
Wolfman has this lazy way of writing his female villains in that they are all, at their baseline, crazy. Chesire, Terra, Blackfire, and Dark Raven are all emotional unstable and all their actions seem to be driven by spite.
>>
>>81399405
So, basically, Anti-Villain/Anti-Hero Blackfire would make more sense?
>>
>>81399040
It's two in the morning and I had a rough day.

>>81399164
He's a member of the CCP. Deal with it, commie..

>>81398991
>centralized planning

Communism, socialism, whatever.
>>
>>81399738
Yeah, a Blackfire that cares deeply for her little sister but wants Tamaran to know what it's like to suffer.
>>
>>81387846
loved that show
