10 Blue Characters That Are More Interesting Than the Aliens in 'Avatar'

2 Comments
When we stumbled crossways Entertainment Weekly's "Avatar"-inspired itemize of 17 chromatic characters from pop-culture story yesterday, the first abstract we did was cry.

Why? We had been slaving away on a similar itemize to run on Asylum today, pegged to the long-awaited release of what has been referred to as saint Cameron's "Waterworld." We desired to be the ones to attain the Tobias Fünke reference!

But upon reflection, we realized that the admittedly superior EW itemize mitt discover as whatever awing chromatic characters as Cameron did pat strategy points in "Avatar." Like, where's Watto? Where are the Blue Meanies? Where is David pioneer in the recording for "Blue Jean"?

And so, we've countered their itemize with digit of our own, and presented a geeky shout-out to 10 characters from pop culture that are every bit as chromatic as Cameron's Na'avi thingies.

1. Gleek from "Super Friends"
The DC universe's edition of Jar Jar Binks was nominally on assistance to wage comic relief, but the Wonder Twins' space monkey pet Gleek is as queer as a crowbar to the groin. All he ever did, really, was hold a containerful to instrumentation Zan from locate to locate after that pointy-eared sheik turned himself into water. Still, who wouldn't want to impact a pet space monkey?
2. nobleman avatar from "Slumdog Millionaire"
This forthcoming respond to a "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" question appears to the movie's protagonist, Jamal, patch he and his brother are streaming from a assemble of provoked Hindus during a bloodstained riot. This brief but memorable appearance of the Hindu god was just digit of whatever controversies the flick sparked in India, and it modify touched digit standpat churchlike assemble to file a jural upset that indie dearie "hurt churchlike sentiments." Lighten up!
3. The Trisolians from "Futurama"

Matt Groening's extremely underrated enlivened series featured more weird- and strange-looking people than a revival faire that's been invaded by a "Star Trek" cosplay group. One of the strangest were these hydrogen- and oxygen-based life-forms that springy on a inhospitable follower overlooked by threesome fell suns and that glow a beautiful makeup of chromatic during the whatever night-time hours they have. Naturally, our hero playwright becomes their power by crapulence the Trisolian emperor.

4. Max Rebo from "Return of the Jedi"
The leader of Jabba the Hutt's house band (because every reptilian gangsters should impact their possess Kevin Eubanks to verify them that they are funny) gets a very brief turn of screen time, but his story is actually quite unfathomable and complex. For instance, his extremity gula and unrestrained intake prevented him from uncovering impact outside of Jabba's lair, making him the Evangelist Popper of the "Star Wars" universe, which is ironic since Evangelist Popper is ofttimes incorrect for the Death Star.
5. Marty Wolf from "Big Fat Liar"
A 2002 flick container for the rapidly falling star of Frankie Muniz features Paul Giamatti as a sleazy Hollywood shaper who steals a flick idea from a dorky kid. The banter and his friend, played by Amanda Bynes, devise every sorts of likewise elaborate schemes and unnecessary devices that could only be lidded by the constituent of a Halliburton contract, including running imperishable chromatic colour in his tearful pool. He spends a beatific third of the flick being incorrect for Max Rebo.

6. The Blue Team from "Red vs. Blue"

The cyberspace comedy impact that launched the Machinima filmmaking movement featured an whole unit of chromatic guys, both in colouration and the irregular use of language. Created by Rooster Teeth Productions, "Red vs. Blue" utilised the recording game "Halo" to explore unfathomable ideologic questions most chronicle and every of its mysteries. This is strange, sight as how "Halo" institute success by ensuring that its fans would impact no chronicle of whatever sort erst they started playing it.


7. Sonic the Hedgehog
Sega had a problem. The Asian company was effort its ass kicked by rival Nintendo and its iconic case Mario worsened than Steve Urkel in the face row at Altamont. But in 1991, their aggroup of designers trotted discover the fast chromatic alter that the world now knows as Sonic the Hedgehog. It gave Sega sort recognition and became the first recording game case to impact a balloon in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.

8. Boo Berry
Breakfast was always the most important nutrition of the day in our house and no nutritious breakfast was rank without this General Mills goods from the four matter groups (assuming the another threesome were Count Chocula, Franken Berry and Fruity Yummy Mummy). This ghostly specter of honeyed morality first materialized on Graminaceae boxes crossways the nation in 1973. It jumped in and discover of circulation on mart store shelves for whatever years, until it became a recurring fixture at Halloween -- and a imperishable fixture in children's colons year-round.


9. Inky from "Pac-Man"
Undoubtedly the most misunderstood member of Pac-Man's enemies, Inky has a very "bashful" and nearly sullen personality -- which haw account for his blueness. But that doesn't mean he is whatever less vicious or afeard of Pac-Man. If Pac-Man rears his giant yellow-head towards Inky's gaze, the ghost module chase him with the tenacity of a shark mass the sonar of whatever innocent splashing, the kind that would either be a edifice of tasteful seabass or a assemble of tearful Cub Scout badge earners, apiece equally tasty.
10. diplomatist Maynard, The Tron Guy
It takes a Brobdingnagian set of balls to dress a homespun Tron costume for every the cyberspace to see and we can verify "The Tron Guy" has them, mainly because the spandex meet is most two sizes likewise brief in "certain areas." Using nothing more than a form-fitting suit, a hockey helmet, whatever blue-glow paint, and a dream, Maynard turned the vision world of Disney's cyber-epic into a reality and made himself a hero in households that desperately necessary someone to pity.
