Well... you're not exactly the trickster type. Not that you don't have a sense of humor, you're just not the instigator of the hijinks most of the time. Don't feel bad - every trickster needs a straight man, and you're just the right one for the part. PS: Everyone has that dream.

(blinks) So I'm the straight-man, huh? (shrugs) I guess so...rather boring, perhaps, but accurate...

I got Robin Goodfellow, none other than Puck! One of my favorite ruthless tricksters. I'm still in awe of how he was presented in the Gargoyles TV show a few years ago, voiced by Brent Spiner no less. heeee.

I did love those storylines in Gargoyles--I thought it was utterly fascinating material to be drawing in for what was marketed as a children's cartoon...

Gargoyles was one of those bastard children of disney that managed to gather a major cult following. Real stories, great characters and the voice casting was awesome besides. *sighs*

They've avoided it like the plague ever since, leaving WB to take up the slack. I still miss Gargoyles, and Batman Beyond, and the actual Batman:TAS besides that. I'd WATCH american toons if they wouldn't dumb it down so much! Which is why we both agree that Samurai Jack kicked ass too. Rare beasts in the US animation forests.

Those were the days.... *nods sagely with arms crossed*

(nods fervently) And not just 'cause I'm a trekkie, either. ^_^ Every voice in the show was well-suited to the look and personality of the character. And there was none of that horrendously over-the-top villainy that seems so hard to avoid these days...

Samurai Jack kicked ass too

(grins) Especially with the Scotsman...those remain my favorite eps. Particularly when they set out to rescue the wife... ^_^

Though I'm not quite sure just yet what to make of the American Imitation-Anime trend (Teen Titans coming to mind at the top of the list). I mean, on one level I kind of appreciate the acknowledgment that anime is so popular and the recognition implied by imitation; but at the same time it's like have we as a country become so un-original and un-inspired that we can't come up with any ideas of our own and turn to copying others?

Samurai Jack was paying true homage to anime, he even had a Totoro type creature in one ep in a later season. Tatarofsky didn't borrow blatently like the makers of Teen Titans did. He created a character from his favorite synthesis of things, and made a world that he could adventure in that made the whole anthology of SJ so enjoyable. *sighs gustily*

There was another one later on where he accurately used pieces of japanese culture as well.The ending of the broken sandal episode. That's what i mean by true homage to something.

PS. The Scotsman dynamic is priceless. You get a stoic and a brash brawler. ^_^ Twice the fun.

Oh, indeed. And made it stand so far above the pack of drabble that CN runs so much of...
