...holy shit. The original intro to her page is even worse than her "new" ones. @_@
True, Jessie, James, and Meowth may not be perfect, but they have reasons for doing what they do -- they've had difficult pasts, and that's forced them to make difficult choices.
...yeah. Your "they're not perfect" claim goes down the toilet once you play the "they were FORCED to make difficult choices" card. Choosing to join a gang of thieves is not the same thing as giving up your illegitimate baby for adoption or sticking with a crappy job to support your ailing mother, Cori!
And I've always hated Ash. He's so idiotic, and his self-righteousness gets extremely annoying. Plus, I don't even think he makes a good hero -- he's arrogant, quick to violence, mean-spirited, and he's not that great a trainer! >P
He's also, um, TEN YEARS OLD. A child. I love how she loves TR because they're "not perfect" but trashes Ash for having flaws.
Like all great villains, they're NOT evil -- they just steal all of the scenes that they're in and get all the best lines! (They're so much wittier and funnier...and more interesting than that one-dimensional Ash!) Sadly, however, a lot of people just don't seem to understand this. And the WB network, Nintendo Power magazine, and American merchandisers certainly don't do anything to help.
Why, you'd think they were making this series for kids or something! :O Also this reminds me of a rant by one of her friends about how only little kids like Ash and Pikachu because they're not smart enough to appreciate the depth and complexity of Team Rocket.
Notice how all the best episodes of Pokemon are the ones that have the most J, J & M in them? Not only are they some of the most imaginative and compelling ("The Ghost of Maiden's Peak," "The Purr-fect Hero," "Pikachu Re-volts," "Meowth Rules!," etc.), but they're also the most touching, showing just what good people and pokemon they really are and how much they love each other ("Pokemon Shipwreck," "Holy Matrimony!," "Princess vs. Princess," "Go West, Young Meowth," "Ignorance is Blissey," etc.)!
"Showdown in Pewter City". "Pikachu's Goodbye". "Gotta Catch Ya Later". "Charizard Chills". "Snow Way Out". "Bye Bye, Butterfree". "The Battling Eevee Brothers". "Battling a Cute Drama". "Pokemon Fashion Flash". "Poke Ball Peril". "The Misty Mermaid". Hmm, all "Twerp" centric episodes, TR is just there to be the bad guys or barely there at all...and they're all wonderful episodes that showcase the depth and complexity of the heroes! ...okay, maybe not THAT, but they definitely show us Ash's hidden depths, Brock's awesomeness as a trainer, a breeder and a friend, Misty's gentler side.
You were saying, Cori?
No fictional characters have ever moved me as much as these three have.
Yeah, and few fictional characters have moved me as much as Shawn Hunter or Jan Brady but you don't see me fapping about how they're so superior to everyone else in their shows and how every time someone focuses on Cory or Topanga or Greg or Alice they're "doing a disservice" to fans of Shawn and Jan! At least not ANYMORE with Jan. >.> /kicks fanfic ideas from 8th grade under her bed to play with the dust bunnies
