What makes a character a good character?

X will probably kill me if we turn this into an Apocalypse thread. But TAS? Really? I must have been 5 or 6 when I first saw the Apocalypse TAS version on T.V. He sounded more menacing when he was dubbed in portuguese . 😐

I believe John Colicos, who voiced Apocalypse for the first & second season was replaced by James Blendick.

He started laughing a lot in the third & fourth seasons.

But in the first two seasons, you could really feel how utterly insane and evil he was when he spoke.

TAS Apoc just scared me as a kid. The X-Men couldn't beat him.

Evo Apoc sounded like Megatron, and was defeated by Rogue... oh, and his plan was basically just a rip off Magneto's in the first X-Men movie.

I liked Evo Apocalypse until he spoke. I guess we both have different definitions of cool and scary. 😛

Well, I actually did like Evo Apocalypse (even if he spoke).

They're actually markings, not his lips, but whatever.

having the name batman.

It's a relatively generic name... ermm

What makes a good character depends on the medium form that they're in, honestly. If you supplant a comic character with Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights, then all of the sudden Healthcliff isn't necessarily the same legendary and archetypical character that he is.

I don't think anyone who likes Ichigo has the right to call any fictional character generic.

I liked the picture, so I made a sig, and the anime is entertaining enough to watch. I'm not obsessed over a character so much so that I particularly care if someone says the character is generic in some convoluted "I know you are but what am I" retort... ermm

liking a character such as ichigo doesn't mean you have a clouded judgement on what is a generic character or not.
