I don't think you're supposed to read that deeply into the perceived weight of Amy's hammer. It's just a cute little weapon they decided to give her for combat purposes in a spinoff fighting game, and it stuck with her. It's probably not meant to suggest that she's super strong, so much as it's meant to help her stand out in a cast where we already have speed/strength/flight archetypes covered.

I prefer "Get Out" by far. "Us" started off strong, but tried too hard to juxtapose humor and drama IMO. "Get Out" was funny in a much more natural way while still being overall horrifying.

I think Sonic is definitely more unique and memorable in 2D, but his 3D look suffers because his quills just don't look right unless they have that Mickey Mouse's ears/Goku's hair thing goin' for them.

What would be the relationship between the schemer and each archetype?


The deadpan snarker would mostly make sarcastic remarks at the schemer's expense, with the latter not even realizing half the time that he's being insulted (think Dr. Nefarious and Lawrence, from the Ratchet & Clank series). He'd have a Droopy/Garfield-like disposition; not really passionate or excitable.

The upstanding square would be more-or-less on equal footing with the schemer as far as having the short end of the stick. There'd be a lot of banter between the two, both making funny quips at each other's expense, but the schemer would ultimately have a more dominant personality. The schemer would obviously instigate a lot of their high-jinks, but the square will sometimes inadvertently make things worse.

The happy-go-lucky dumbass would basically be pure comic relief. He'd blindly follow the schemer's plans, but often ruin/complicate things with his obliviousness (frustrating the schemer). He'd get hurt on occasion, but not nearly as much as the schemer. Many of the gags would involve him saying or doing silly things.

I agree. That's why this is so hard for me; as a previous user said, all of these archetypes can easily work, and I don't lack confidence in writing any of them. As far as just seeing two opposite personalities clash, the schemer/square combo would probably be most effective...

Literally any of them can work depending on the setting and writing. I know this is the annoying answer, but it's the truth.

Like, what's the genre, tone, setting, etc.


The show is basically going to be an episodic sitcom, reminiscent of 90s cartoons. Lots of slapstick and wacky shenanigans, with the occasional parody here & there.

Naw looking at porn in general is harmful to the mind. A lot of these porn stars are not right in their minds. Most make some fucked shit now. They get off on the idea of taboo, and mentally well people don't do that.

So yes I'm looking down @ these crazy ass pornstars. Most of them need legit help


Looking at porn is not inherently detrimental to the mind any more than playing video games is inherently addictive. That's just fear-mongering, which every critical thinker knows to stay away from.

Some porn stars are indeed not in their right minds. However, many are. Just like any other occupation, it depends on the person and their unique circumstance.
Saying "most" make some fucked shit now is unfounded. Do you have proof of this? Because there are A LOT of porn actors & actresses in the world.

It seems you just have a fundamental issue with the idea of someone making money from sexually gratifying others.

Just because society looks down on porn doesn't mean there's anything inherently wrong with it. If a woman (or man for that matter) wants to make sexual content for money, then good for them. Especially if they make a decent living off of it, which many do.

I can guarantee any young chick that wants to fuck gets thrown into the "smarter/skilled/capable" section just so you can justify your moves. That's the problem right there.


But you must know that part of what we base age of consent on is societal structure. Currently, society is set up in such a way that most people aren't done with high school until they're 17/18. High school is seen as a place for kids (older ones nearing adulthood, but kids nonetheless). It's no coincidence that the age of graduation coincides with the age of legal consent.

Now, what if the society was one in which the average person is 15/16 by the time they're done with high school and off into "the real world"? Should they still have to wait 2 or 3 years to start having legal sex with 20-year-olds? Is 16 too young no matter what, or too young based on that age group's average maturity? Hell, is the current age of consent too young? I used to argue that it should be 20, but what makes me right or wrong about that?

If we base it on biology alone, you get people saying 12 & 13 should be the age of consent. That's just gross and disturbing. But if we base it on maturity and life experience, it gets a little trickier because those things can vary based on culture/societal structure.

If the age of consent was 20, people would judge you just as harshly for being 22 and dating an 18/19-year-old as they'd currently judge you for being 20 and dating a 16/17-year-old. Basically, it is indeed arbitrary, but only to an extent. Most people go through puberty when they're around 13, but that's obviously too young to be having sex and/or getting involved in relationships. I think the age of consent should ideally be based on a combination of biology and the expected maturation of the average person by a given age based on the way society is structured (i.e., in a theoretical society where the average 16/17-year-old is done with high school and is as smart/skilled/capable as the average real-life 22-year-old, a younger age of consent would be understandable).

but hey, that cute li'l handicapped dog i sometimes see in the stairwell or coming through the alley is alive? at least there's that. at least somebody didn't lose everything.

By your logic, being trapped inside a burning building comes with an age limit.

what? so now this pre-teen kid is trapped in a burning building and his only hope for escape is an unknown neighbor breaking into the apartment and removing him?

so you expect a stranger to bust through a double-locked door, remove some unknown blockage, and save my kid? get real lol

the kid can go out the back door or hop out a window and hope for the best. i've never lived in a place with only one access point to the outside.
