What is it about characters who are red and blue being iconic characters?

Green is not a creative color

The Incredible Hulk exists

Blue and red are the most popular and therefore positive colors in the world.

East Asia likes to play up green as red's parallel hero color (Mario Bros., Pokemon in Generation I), sure, but blue's far more popular overall.

Well, other than the characters being very likeable, red and blue are both primary colors. One is generally warm, the other is cool, and together they balance each other out.

MURICA! Nothing says Red White Blue better than a superhero you can cheer for.

He was supposed to be grey

Beats me.

And Pokemon's been shifting to red/blue in recent years as well (x and y, alpha sapphire and omega ruby, sun and moon, ultra sun and moon).

Red is flesh, blue is the sky. Heavenly bodies as made in the Lord's image.

Anyone who has studied linguistic anthropology would know the answer to this question immediately. It's one of the first things you learn in regard to cultural universals.

But I'm not going to tell you.

faggot

That's because you're gay

Pokemon's done red/blue tints for nearly every game pair in every generation since III except V.

Well fuck you too then

Primary colors catch the eye and go well together

What is it about characters who are red and blue having autistic fanbases?

Red and blue is the most common color scheme. A lot of characters with the color scheme = greater number of shit fanbases. They aren't proportionally worse than others.

Didn't know Batman primarily wore red and blue

>linguistic anthropology

I would not put Captain America or Sonic on Mario and Superman's level of iconicism. I would, however, put Sherlock Holmes, and Goku at that level, and neither has a red/blue color scheme.

Not only that, but I think they all have black counterparts.

I guess if a smug sense of superiority once every few months is all I got out of my degree, I'd act like that too.

The incredible hulk is not a creative character.

Mario doesn't

Fucking told

pls tell me. Ill suck your dick

What's wrong with mariofags?

waluigi is a black guy with vitiligo, it explains all his theaving and who else would wear purple, the colour of drank.

Shadow Mario

2 of these are Japanese gaming icons, user.

>What's wrong with mariofags?
I'm guessing the same madlibs that are wrong with every other fanbase they complain about. The target changes, but the rage does not.

There's only one true mariofag and his name is Moviebob.

because green and purple is reserved for villians.

Why are so many cape villains green and purple?

>cape

Something about primary colors being associated with purity since you don't get them from combining two other colors.

Glad someone understands me.

>Green Goblin
>Lex Luthor
>Joker
>Riddler
>Mysterio
>Kang

Green lantern, the Phantom.

How did you miss my point so badly when I used that image?

Is there a big time hero that's red and blue?

Sorry I meant villain

Just making a list m8

Simple colour theory, contrasting colours are the easiest colour scheme to pull of it you remember the 20/80 rule (one colour makes up 80% of the image, the other only 20%)

Red is the most eye-catching color to men.
Blue is the 2nd best color compliment to red.
Why it isn't green (The best compliment to red) is partially because that color combo is associated mainly with Christmas, and using it would create confusion. The other side to it is that blue is more appealing as a standalone color than green.

>Barney (the real villain)

The question is which color is better for the rival, green or purple?

If that was a hard rule Superman trunk fags are right to be BTFO

Why does adding yellow to red make it look villainous

Thanks doc

This is not appealing.

Something to do with limited ink or some shit, there is a real reason for it

Man there are a lot of retards in this thread. No one has given even close to the correct answer.

I especially enjoy the several people who have pretended to understand color theory yet demonstrated a complete failure to comprehend its most basic elements.

Honestly it feels good to be so much better than other people.

We don't care about your useless degree mate

What am I, an art teacher?

There's science behind it I'm sure. I heard somewhere that the exact shade of blue Sonic is appeals to people with autism

Never thought about that. Red and yellow are usually used together when advertising food, if you pay attention to it. It reminds viewers of ketchup and mustard.

Nice one, you got a bite.

You insulted everyone offering a theory despite contributing absolutely nothing. At least back your self-wank up, clown.

>Implying Sonic wasn't always more American than Japanese
He's always sold more in the west, desu.

...

He's literally larping to ruin the thread. This is trolling 101

>he's always sold more in the country with twice as many people

really jogs the nog

>Captain America
>Iconic
At least post Spider-man, who's actually iconic and has the same color scheme.

...

>Implying Nintendo and SEGA consoles haven't always sold best in Japan
>Implying Mario himself hasn't always sold best in Japan
>Implying the reason Sonic has sold the best in America isn't solely because he appeals to Americans the most
Shiggy diggy.

Anti-Communist propaganda.

Something something Hypercrisis?

I don't have the thread at hand.

Green IS red's parallel color.
