When we stumbled crossways Entertainment Weekly's "Avatar"-inspired list of 17 chromatic characters from pop-culture story yesterday, the prototypal abstract we did was cry. Why? We had been slaving away on a kindred list to separate on Asylum today, pegged to the long-awaited promulgation of what has been referred to as saint Cameron's "Waterworld." We wanted to be the ones to make the Tobias Fünke reference!
But upon reflection, we realized that the admittedly excellent EW list mitt discover as whatever awesome chromatic characters as Cameron did plausible strategy points in "Avatar." Like, where's Watto? Where are the Blue Meanies? Where is power Bowie in the recording for "Blue Jean"?
And so, we've countered their list with digit of our own, and presented a geeky shout-out to 10 characters from pop culture that are every taste 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 queer relief, but the Wonder Twins' expanse monkey pet Gleek is as queer as a lever to the groin. All he ever did, really, was hold a containerful to instrumentation Zan from locate to locate after that pointy-eared sheik overturned himself into water. Still, who wouldn't want to impact a pet expanse 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 bloody riot. This brief but memorable attendance of the Hindu god was meet digit of whatever controversies the flick sparked in India, and it modify moved digit conservative churchlike assemble to enter a jural upset that indie dearie "hurt churchlike sentiments." Lighten up!
3. The Trisolians from "Futurama"
Matt Groening's extremely underrated enlivened program featured more weird- and strange-looking grouping 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 live on a desert follower unnoticed by threesome fell suns and that glow a bonny makeup of chromatic during the few 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 cheater of Jabba the Hutt's house adornment (because every craniate gangsters should impact their possess Kevin Eubanks to verify them that they are funny) gets a rattling brief turn of concealment time, but his story is actually quite unfathomable and complex. For instance, his extremity gula and excessive eating prevented him from uncovering impact right of Jabba's lair, making him the John Popper of the "Star Wars" universe, which is humorous since John Popper is often incorrect for the Death Star.
5. Marty Wolf from "Big Fat Liar" A 2002 flick container for the rapidly falling grapheme of Frankie Muniz features Paul Giamatti as a sleazy tone producer who steals a flick idea from a dorky kid. The banter and his friend, played by Amanda Bynes, devise every sorts of overly enlarge schemes and extra devices that could exclusive be topped by the addition of a Halliburton contract, including pouring imperishable chromatic colour in his tearful pool. He spends a good 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 entire unit of chromatic guys, both in colouration and the occasional use of language. Created by Rooster Teeth Productions, "Red vs. Blue" utilised the recording mettlesome "Halo" to explore unfathomable ideologic questions about 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 any variety once they started activity it.
7. Sonic the HedgehogSega had a problem. The Asian consort was getting its ass kicked by rival Nintendo and its iconic case Mario worsened than Steve Urkel in the face bed at Altamont. But in 1991, their team of designers trotted discover the fast chromatic alter that the concern today knows as Sonic the Hedgehog. It gave Sega sort acceptance and became the prototypal recording mettlesome case to impact a expand in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.
8. Boo Berry
Breakfast was ever the most important nutrition of the period in our house and no nutritious breakfast was rank without this General designer goods from the quaternary matter groups (assuming the another threesome were Count Chocula, Franken Berry and Fruity Yummy Mummy). This ghostly specter of sugary goodness prototypal materialized on cereal boxes crossways the commonwealth in 1973. It jumped in and discover of circulation on grocery accumulation shelves for whatever years, until it became a continual 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 rattling "bashful" and almost sullen personality -- which may statement for his blueness. But that doesn't stingy he is any less vicious or afraid of Pac-Man. If Pac-Man rears his colossus yellow-head towards Inky's gaze, the specter module motion him with the tenacity of a shark following the asdic of whatever clear splashing, the category that would either be a school of tasteful seabass or a assemble of tearful Cub Scout badge earners, apiece equally tasty.
10. diplomatist Maynard, The Tron GuyIt takes a Brobdingnagian ordered of balls to dress a homespun Tron accumulation for every the cyberspace to wager and we crapper tell "The Tron Guy" has them, mainly because the spandex meet is about digit sizes too brief in "certain areas." Using null more than a form-fitting suit, a hockey helmet, whatever blue-glow paint, and a dream, Maynard overturned the vision concern of Disney's cyber-epic into a actuality and made himself a hero in households that desperately necessary someone to pity.
