Maybe this is the only thing i upload from christmas haha Abel learned to talk faster than normal and as soon as that happened Cartman knew that karma is a bitch
'i'm not fat, i'm just shamed for my body in a world where white men decide what's beautiful! ...WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT? WHY WOULD I SAY THAT? I DON'T SAY THAT!'
holy shit this came true:
I love the practicality of Luffys crew
Like from a tactical sense; Luffy as captain is immune to blunt attacks and is fairly adept at hand to hand contact being absolutely feral. His biggest (and most obvious) weakness is that he is susceptible to slashing attacks. So he’s got 2 choices, learn how to sword fight OR get a really good swordsman, so he picks up a guy who just happens to WANT to be the greatest swordsman.
Cool, next weakness of Luffys (from a capture/arrest/ damage perspective) is distance attacks. Yes he’s immune to bullets and cannon balls but a sneak attack or a bullet aimed above/near him would be a good choice, so he then picks up a sharpshooter. And not just any, this one is the son of a commander of an emperor of the Sea…who also happens to be the best sharpshooter.
Next Luffy is not the best at specialized hand to hand combat. Sure he’s able to carry his own for a long way but waves of marines means special forces and eventually even Luffy is going to run into someone who could pose a problem due to energy expenditure, so he picks up a cook who happens to be the protege of a captain who sailed the grand line and was renouned for his special fighting techniques (plus bonus long lost family powers)
Then to round it off, he picks a navigator who has fought pirates/marines her whole life, who can read the water and wind in a way that even fish men envy and who can provide you with the best path of escape each and every time. Not to mention she has some hand to hand combat skills + wind/weather powers to create some specialized sneak/power attacks
Just…from a marine/ tactical standpoint, I’d be shitting myself from just East Blue Crew alone. Not to mention a doctor from island of doctors who can speak to animals and turn into a giant monster, an archeologist who can read the secrets your government spent 800 years hiding and who grew up an assassin, a shipwright who not only trained under the man who built the previous pirate kings ship but who also doubles as an armoury whenever needed, an 8ft sword wielding skeleton who can summon attacks from hell and a literal rogue warlord who happens to be the strongest fishman still in universe (thus far) in a world that heavily depends on devil fruit users to keep piece. And that’s not including all Luffys allies over his journey…
Like damn…no wonder people dub him a 5th warlord. Half his crew alone causes a shit ton of damage (dressrosa, WCI) so I’m REALLY excited for Wano to be a game changer in how the world sees this little, goofy, but terrifyingly competent pirate crew
i honestly dont get why people dislike yellow. hes my favorite 💪💪 great engineering minds think alike
great analysis! but id like to give my two cents over the "least atletic" part, because its kind of true
i mean, looking at the fights closely, yellow heavily focuses on providing support and quick thinking over logistics. when he does attack its because its too convenient of an opening to not go for it
plus hes the worst at parkour. he literally found out about the command block trap because he kept falling too much XD
i don't think its a bad thing. hes a good fighter, just not extremely focused on it like TSC or red. bro has his own interests. people who call yellow useless are either children who just wants to see sick punches or, as you said, people jealous of yellow's screentime
my baby boy is too overhated
ooki, so here's part 1 and part 2 (Blue and Red)
This one is for Yellow :D
Also, I am thinking of ending this after 5 parts (after this we'll have part 4 Green and part 5 TSC)
...depending on factors I might keep going after part 5? Like maybe Purple or something? But uhh anyways...
SPOILERS AHEAD
-
Okay, so Yellow is essentially the resident "nerd" of the group. He likes redstone, command blocks, strategy games, and coding. He canonically has glasses as well (when his face is visible), and he is quick to implement his ideas, especially during battle.
Examples:
He was quick to throw his staff at the minimize button because he understood where Greenscreen was getting his power from.
He was quick to begin making a plan to escape the piglins (whereas Blue froze instead - check part 1).
Yellow is someone that can understand what needs to be done and do it efficiently.
But, er, sometimes...
...he can get carried away. His inventions and mind can get away from him sometimes and cause consequences for him and his friends. Prime examples of this are the lucky block episode - (he literally got POSSESSED because he took apart a lucky block and used the glowing magic orb thingy to make gifts for his friends) and the Actual Short: Upgrade, where his invention essentially destroyed their house.
But now I kind of want to talk about more recent occurences with Yellow. As most of us know, there was a comment on one of Green's vids that said that Yellow had lackluster acting, and another one saying he was useless in the skit, both hearted by Green. In my opinion, the "useless" portion is fine (the comment was probably talking about Yellow's role in the skit), but Green could have responded better to the one about lackluster acting.
And this got me thinking - Yellow's probably really insecure about this kind of stuff. He is already the least popular out of the Color Gang (and Purple, Chosen, Dark, King, and Corn Dog Guy) - I'll explain my theory as to why in a second (hehe).
AND...I've also been seeing a few comments and fanfictions saying Yellow is the "worst fighter" or "least athletic" of the group??? These mostly stem from his kind of unconfident fighting stance in this scene...leading to him getting clapped (even tho everybody got clapped without the weapons).
And now my theory as to why Yellow is liked the least.
In my humble opinion, all four of the fighting quad had roughly around the same in the beginning. Of course, Second is the main character, and he lives up to that title, so he'd obviously have way more fans. But each of RGYB have different personalities that appeal to different segments of the audience.
But we obviously don't like it if our favorite character isn't having screen time or any contribution...and we also don't like it if another character that isn't our favorite is getting more screen time. Like Yellow in Animator vs Animation.
He's the one who hacked into Dark's computer and brought Alan's cursor to the Outernet, and kept a level head while everyone else was freezing.
And he's the one being wanted by Rocket Corp, while the other three were cast aside. He has a larger role in AvA than Red or Green or Blue, and I think many of us kind of dislike him for that. Heck, when I first watched the Showdown, I disliked it slightly as well.

I know this one was less of a character analysis than the other two, but I really wanted to talk about this with Yellow. Feedback and additions are appreciated!
"c!techno needs to take an L" he literally LITERALLY just lost one of the most important people to him
at this point im convinced you guys arent watching his lore at all and are refusing to listen everything he says. look, im all for c!techno being a morally gray character but lets at least hold him accountable for the right reasons. hes not a badly written character, you are just lazy to learn about him
if you dont watch his lore then OF COURSE he will seem confusing to you.
eu vo me.mata na frente dos dois
Crowley's hearing "I can finally make you good enough to deserve Heaven"
but Aziraphale's saying "I can finally make Heaven good enough to deserve you"
Never thought I’d say this, but Rick and Morty now has one of the most unique found families I’ve ever seen, and it’s all weirdly wholesome that they decide to stick together (by burying dead versions of themselves in an alternate reality, might I add) even after being transported back to their original dimensions, even deciding to go get Jerry.
They really went and said, “We’re all bad people but we literally have no one else to rely on so Bless This Mess,” and I am here for it.

"i lacked the courage to die for my ideals, and it wont happen again."
c!Techno’s character arc is not about changing his ideals, but slowly becoming better at them, and it’s not something you see much in storytelling, especially in characters with defined political ideologies. It’s awesome, unique, and honestly? Really freaking valuable.
