Don't do this to me user. I don't want to give this (You).

>Simon belmont as popeye

>halo is shaggy
ARE YOU FING STUPID???????

If you actually knew Halo lore it makes perfect sense.

ah yes, mickey mouse, well known for his ability to consume plants and other objects in order to change size, throw fireballs, become invincible, and fly, in order to further his quest to defeat an evil turtle king

>simon belmont
>popeye

>master chief
>shaggy

STUPID THATS A GAME NOT A BOOK I DONT HAVE TIME FOR NERD STUFF

>Halo
>Shaggy
What.

Fuck OP. Post original characters

>is his most esoteric, and hidden trait is his most defining one despite not being relevant in any of the games
fuck off

Didn't fall for it ;)

>virtual toys made by computer dorks funded by soulless corporations for a no life manchildren audience aren't culturally significant works of art

Really tugs at the grey matter

>masterchief
>shaggy
Hearty kek, didn't see that one coming

I think you mean Pinocchio = Astro Boy = Megaman

>popeye and mario are both on the chart
>but not for each other
popeye is literally responsible in part for mario's existence

If that story that you're thinking about is true, then so is Robin Williams

Mickey Mouse is based off Steamboat Willie which is based off a Buster Keaton character called Steamboat Bill Jr. Google it faggot.

>Mickey mouse: The sewer rat who found a magical kingdom called disney and has to save princess minnie from the evil Pete and his seven kids
>Speedy Gonzales: Fastest thing alive who fights border control guards to save his people from becoming american citizens through Trumpinization
>Peter pan: The legend of Neverland, Peter goes on a quest to find the legendary Tick-tock, crocodile of evil's bane to vanquish the evil known as Captain hook.
>Boba fett: Bounty hunter who goes to a foreign planet filled with pirates to blow it up and save the galaxy from the evil Comander Chewbaky.
>Astro boy: Literally the same story.
>Popeye the Vampire slayer: A Buff rough and tuff dude who ventures to the treacherous waters of Harborvania to take down the evil Count Bluto with his canned meat.
>Taz Devil: Taken from his home and forced to fight the evil Dr. Madnar and his new creation Gossamer.
>Secret Squirrel: Together with his trusty friends Pink Panther and Jabberjaw, they break into the vaults in search of the fabeled Hannus Barberrus

He underwent a program to transfer his enormous metabolism into courag and bravery, and fought many wars for the planet earth. When the time came Rogers went into cryostasis, ready to be called on when the time came for another Master shags would save the world. The scientist who put him under closed the process and turned to his colleague: "Man I'm sure glad he's in there, and we're out here!"

good thread

You know damn well as I do that he's just Vin Diesel with weird eys.

Is the Chief - Shaggy one a joke? Can somwonw explain it if not.
What the other user said about Mario and Popeye is right, they are closer than Mario/Mickey or whatever weeb thing has been teamed up with Popeye. You're talking about two characters whose defining stories is saving the damsel in distress from their arch nemesis.

47 has pretty much become a rip-off of Bond so I'd add him as an example. Add any Playstation character and I'm sure there's a movie equivalent of them.

>Castlevania
>Weeb thing

It's Japanese, yes?

Then why didnt you call literally everyone but MC a "Weeb thing"?

>47
>A bond rip off

Bond doesn't kill unless prevoked. 47 is literally an assassin hired to kill whatever person his client wants. 47 is also far from suave, terrible with women, no emotions what so ever. he's the furthest thing from bond other than being "A spy in a suit"

Even Lupin III is more of a bond homage than 47.

>Mickey Mouse is based off Steamboat Willie
What? Mickey Mouse appeared in Steamboat Willie. Maybe you should use google faggot.

The latest game literally has scenes that are ripped straight from Craig's Bond.

>Trying to outsmart a Waltaholic

Sorry man, you brought this on yourself. Willie was Mickey's original name before the "Mickey mouse" concept even existed. Steamboat Willie refers to "Willie" the mouse. The name "Mickey Mouse" was found more catchy and eye grabbing than willie, and it caught on with the marketing department in the early 30's. Hence why "M M" became more popular.

>Taking shots from an established medium for inspiration is outright ripping it off.

So even you admit that it's the same character and not "based off" of any shit.

There's nothing truly original left on Earth. The sooner a writer/creator realizes that, the sooner he learns that its the execution and style that draws people in.

It just depends on how autistic people wanna be about what "originality" even means.
For example, Look at Avatar: TLA. The story and characters are all pretty original, unless you oversimplify it. You could say "kids with super powers save the world," and call it unoriginal.

> you can always find similarities between character designs. Always.

Really dude?!? I've never thought it that way, you must be a genius!!!

Is this bait image so effective because of how frustratingly inconsistent it is?
Link ~ Peter Pan comparison is just about visual design, Sonic and Speedy are more archetypes, Samus and Boba is just retarded. Nothing about them is similar except that Samus is technically a 'bounty hunter' (despite never doing that in her games)

>despite never doing that in her games
Prime 2 and 3
>Inb4 "not canon"
Then I'll just post the Sakamoto screencap

I consider them canon but I only played prime 1[/spoiler

]

then go play the others dumbass

Now here's the real question?
Who would win a duos death battle with their counterpart? I'm leaning towards Megaman and Robotboy winning

i know this is bait but could you really not do better than master chief and shaggy
like seriously

They're on my to do list, I'm a busy guy. And yeah, I realize I'm a hypocrite posting on Sup Forums while being busy

Part 5 announced, brother.

...

>Mario isn't Popeye

>simon belmont is popeye
>master chief is shaggy
WUT?

Worth it for the ending

Where's the caveman?

Source now

Japan Expo 2017 in France. Fittingly enough. France and general french speaking countries near France setting. You can google "Lupin Part V Japan Expo" or something if you're interested.

Excelleeeeeeeent

Fucking retards master chef equals shaggy because they are both green and have yellowishgold colours on their heads.

>what are obvious jokes

Spread the word to all Lupinfags, brother.

No Chief = Shaggy because they were both forzen in ice

It's illegal to own a nigga like that, son.

You could have done Judge Dredd for Captain Falcon, Star Wars for Star Fox, Alien for Metroid, but instead of taking the low-hanging fruit, you pulled up a bunch of vegetables.

No, it's because they're both masters of combat

The mystery inc era was such a goddamned gem.

There's literally only three game characters on that list that aren't from Japan you absolute fucking autismo.

You heard it here first folks, Mario is weebshit now.

Okay OP
