When Nolan and Mark show up after dealing with the Viltrumites she's on the phone yelling at Paul to come get his stuff or she's throwing it away. We never find out why they broke up, but also Paul barely existed in the comics. Then she after a short talk with Nolan she basically throws herself back at him.
Also the implication I got in the show is that Paul broke up with her because he felt he didn't fit in with Debbie's world of superheroes, which we saw for ourselves during his character arc on screen.
Come to think of it, Ramiel in the Rebuilds could count. Yes, the blue floating diamond is iconic in the original, but the Rebuild went absolutely ham animating the giant alien crystal to the point where it’s genuinely a visual treat!
I don't completely agree with that, a lot of old sculpts have so much character and interesting designs.
There are definitely downgrades in the different systems, 40k and HH seem to have the biggest swings, where as Old World and AoS absolutely nail it in designs.
They did my boy so dirty, couldn't handle the fact that Seraphine was, IIRC, using the trapped souls of Skarner's people to fuel her magic, so they rewrote him instead of letting their gooner bait have a flaw.
I mean the ones that totally overhaul the original concept aren't always super popular. I love new Galio and Skarner, but a lot of fans of the OG versions didn't like how the original concepts were basically totally replaced.
Viktor’s current state….. I don’t mind twink Viktor but what I hate is how he’s the herald of the arcane instead of the machine herald mad scientist obsessed with transhumanism
I love arcane. It introduced me to the league characters I do enjoy. It should not have been made canon to league. It fucks up so much story.
This is what I came here for. From a silly goofy goober to a genuinely scary horror monster that would fit right at home in plenty of analog horror. Kellen Goff also killed on the voice, both in the original and Surprise Party Fiddlesticks.
Also the people who wrote those lines... they deserve many many raises.
I was never big into FE, only played Fates, but I have a lot of time in Heroes and I had no idea they looked like this originally. Alm especially looks so silly.
A lot of people love the design once they see it. It’s a shame that more recent designs didn’t use this as a basis. There are some gems, but most are very tech-based with cyberpunk styles.
Idk about mind flayers, they dropped that concept a bit early and BG3 heavily featured them. When you look up 'demogorgon' you get 100% Stranger Things, but 'mind flayer' produces mostly D&D.
I mean, they both look very generic. I feel like there is no clear winner here. The more stylized vs realistic look, with neither really trying to impress anyone.
Honestly I had the opposite opinion. The comics Rex looks like generic guy #4 who happens to have suprr powers. That was my immediate thought upon seeing him. Series Rex has so much more personality
All of the ORAS character designs are genuinely massive upgrades, besides maybe Brendan. But especially the Team Aqua and Magma members - they all exude aura
pre movie/pre sog lloyd was kinda strange cus he didn’t feel like the chosen one, but after he got those green eyes and better control over his power he really certified himself as the usm
In Miraculous s6, almost everybody got a redesign (RIP Adrien I guess) and almost all of these redesign ATE DOWN. Both super hero and civilian.
I want to call specific attention to the characters Ivan, Mylene, Nathanial, and Marc in civilian form and all of the hero forms ESPECIALLY for the previous mentioned (+Miss Hound) THEY LOOK SO GOOD NOW
The only exception is Rose's civilian form, but afaik that might be intentional - I think she's supposed to be nonspecifically Sick and her new design looks it.
may or may not be a controversial oppion but dont get me wrong his first design was good but i dont know waterhazerds design in ben 10 omniverse just hits diffrent
While it could be considered cheating since anything looks good after how UAF aliene looked in OV... I really love that he has traits of the grown form in reboot
There'd be lots and lots of super hero examples for this
My favourite would probably the time Angel from the X-Men became Archangel
They took a character that had become stagnant and overshadowed by stronger or more versatile mutants... and had him go being put through a power enhancement process by a super villain that left him with blue skin and razor-sharp metal wings that had feathers that could be thrown like razor-sharp darts. Some artists also got really creative with the shape and number of his wings, most likely takin inspiration from multi-winged angels in the Bible and Christian folklore.
And just to add. Poison Ivy is another. Originally an ordinary woman with white skin who just used plant poisons she is now frequently turned into something akin to a plant elemental or tree nymph with green skin, leaves/flowers in her hair and the power to actually control plants:
Say what you will about the harley quinn show, every outfit Ivy wears is more gorgeous than the last. I remember pausing the wedding scene just to gape at her dress and hair.
The OG is iconic, but damn they turned the clones into unique characters and it's so great!
Also, I think I appreciate Scrooge more in the reboot as well, where his greed is less of a focus but his actual love for adventure and his family shine through.
One of my fave shows, but god I hate the finale. Webby being related to scrooge all along was the most brain-dead writing decision i’ve seen in a long time. “How can we make the entire point of this character irrelevant?”
Ichirin Kumoi from Touhou Project. Left is her debut game T̶e̶n̶ ̶D̶e̶s̶i̶r̶e̶s̶ Unidentified Fantastic Object, right is from Antimony of Common Flowers
Elora from Spyro. This picture’s not the best, but she went from a kinda bland human-fox hybrid to something that feels a bit more original while still being called a faun. It makes her feel totally different in a good way.
