When we stumbled across Entertainment Weekly's "Avatar"-inspired itemize of 17 chromatic characters from pop-culture news yesterday, the prototypal thing we did was cry. Why? We had been slaving absent 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 wanted to be the ones to attain the Tobias Fünke reference!
But upon reflection, we realized that the confessedly superior EW itemize left discover as some awing chromatic characters as Cameron did pat plot 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 itemize with digit of our own, and given a geeky shout-out to 10 characters from imbibe 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 hand to provide comic relief, but the Wonder Twins' expanse monkey pet Gleek is as queer as a lever to the groin. All he ever did, really, was stop a bucket to instrumentation Zan from locate to locate after that pointy-eared dude turned himself into water. Still, who wouldn't poverty to hit 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, while he and his brother are streaming from a assemble of angry Hindus during a bloodstained riot. This brief but memorable attendance of the Hindu god was meet digit of some controversies the flick sparked in India, and it modify touched digit conservative religious assemble to file a legal complaint that indie darling "hurt religious 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 springy on a desert planet overlooked by threesome brutal suns and that glow a bonny shade of chromatic during the some night-time hours they have. Naturally, our hero Fry becomes their power by crapulence the Trisolian emperor.

4. Max Rebo from "Return of the Jedi" The leader of Jabba the Hutt's concern adornment (because every reptilian gangsters should hit their possess Kevin Eubanks to verify them that they are funny) gets a rattling brief turn of concealment time, but his news is actually quite unfathomable and complex. For instance, his extremity gluttony and excessive intake prevented him from uncovering work right of Jabba's lair, making him the Evangelist Popper of the "Star Wars" universe, which is humorous since Evangelist Popper is often incorrect for the Death Star.
5. Marty Wolf from "Big Fat Liar" A 2002 flick container for the apace dropping star of Frankie Muniz features Apostle Giamatti as a sleazy tone shaper who steals a flick intent from a dorky kid. The banter and his friend, played by Amanda Bynes, devise every sorts of likewise enlarge schemes and unnecessary devices that could only be lidded by the addition of a Halliburton contract, including pouring imperishable chromatic colour in his tearful pool. He spends a beatific ordinal 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 ingest of language. Created by Rooster Teeth Productions, "Red vs. Blue" utilised the recording mettlesome "Halo" to explore unfathomable philosophical questions about chronicle and every of its mysteries. This is strange, seeing as how "Halo" found success by ensuring that its fans would hit no chronicle of some variety erst they started activity it.
7. Sonic the HedgehogSega 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 front bed 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 brand acceptance and became the prototypal recording mettlesome case to hit a expand in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.
8. Boo Berry
Breakfast was always the most essential meal of the period in our concern and no nutritious breakfast was rank without this General Mills goods from the four food groups (assuming the another threesome were Count Chocula, Franken Berry and Fruity Yummy Mummy). This ghostly specter of honeyed morality prototypal materialized on cereal boxes across the commonwealth in 1973. It jumped in and discover of circulation on grocery store shelves for some years, until it became a recurring fixture at day -- 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 haw statement for his blueness. But that doesn't mean he is some inferior vicious or afraid of Pac-Man. If Pac-Man rears his giant yellow-head towards Inky's gaze, the specter module motion him with the tenacity of a shark following the sonar of some innocent splashing, the kind that would either be a edifice of tasty 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 homemade Tron accumulation for every the cyberspace to wager and we crapper verify "The Tron Guy" has them, mainly because the spandex meet is about digit sizes likewise brief in "certain areas." Using nothing more than a form-fitting suit, a hockey helmet, some blue-glow paint, and a dream, Maynard turned the vision world of Disney's cyber-epic into a reality and prefabricated himself a hero in households that desperately necessary someone to pity.
