#Terrible Trio

[piratefishmama]

OK but the fact that Carol called a get together of herself, Tommy, and Steve a "party" even without Nancy and Barb tells me that these three... probably aren't that popular, or used to throwing parties, which is hilarious.

Curled beneath Eddie's chin, listening to the rhythmic thump of his heartbeat more than he is whatever movie that had gotten picked from the 'Family Video is dead we've gotta get our back pay somehow’' pile, Steve looks at Robin and decides. "We should tell the rest of them."

"Tell the rest of who what, Sweetheart?" He feels the rumble of Eddie's question more than hears it.

"The rest of the family about your adultery, obviously."

Eddie sits up, dislodging Steve in an unfortunate turn of events. "He was my boyfriend before you decided to marry him!"

"He was my soulmate first, you’re still the other woman, Munson.”

“I love both of you equally,” Steve says, hoping to stop the argument before it starts.

“But how have you written us into your will?” Robin asks.

“Say it how you mean it, Buckley, who gets the house and who gets the money.”

“Why are you both assuming you'll outlive me?”

“Be serious, Steve.” This they seem to be in agreement on.

“The gates are closed, you're saying if I'm in a life threatening situation you wouldn't be right next to me?”

They share a look over his head. “We're just saying we'd survive.”

“You wouldn't let us die, Stevie.”

“You both have to share the house, the kids get the money to develop a cure for death and bring me back.”

“You're going to make me and my wife live with a mourning Eddie Munson?”

“You'll have asked a girl out by then?” Eddie mocks.

“You wouldn't mourn me too?”

“He'll be horny mourning, my mourning will be dignified, dingus.”

“You won't have to mourn me, Dustin will figure out how to bring me back.”

“What if you die of natural causes,” Robin asks.

“Or something super weird and your body can't be fixed?” Eddie adds.

“Robot body. Then when you guys die we can be robots together forever.”

“And I could get my fingers in your wires, Sweetheart?”

“This is worse, actually, than when you forget I'm in bed and start talking about your dicks.”

“You got me distracted,” Steve insists, settling back down beside Eddie, “I just want to tell the rest of them what's going on so we get wedding presents.”

He's dislodged again when they both sit up. “We should ask for a blender!”

Batman: The Animated Series - Paper Cut-Out Portraits and Profiles

The Terrible Trio

Warren Lawford and his two friends. Armand and Gunther, were a group of trust-find layabouts.  Each born into fabulous wealth, they lived the high life and wanted for naught.  The three saw themselves as better than others and had grown bored by their leisurely lifestyle.  Warren suggested that they turn to crime as a new challenge, a sport that could curb the tedium.  His friends agreed and the threesome endeavored on a string of burglaries.

Warren’s family had made its fortune in real estate; he saw himself as lord over the grounds and thus chose the fox as his totem mask.  Whereas Gunther Hardwicke’s wealth came from the shipping industry; he saw himself as lord of the seas and thus chose the shark.  And Armand Lydecker’s family fortune was made in the building of airliners; he saw himself as lord of the skies and hence chose the vulture.   

The trio’s criminal exploits were mainly harmless and they often gave away the money they stole.  When they burgled Warren’s girlfriend’s home, however, her father walked in on them and Warren savagely beat him.  Warren’s girlfriend was able to figure out what he and the others had done and they decided they needed to stage an accident to kill her in order to maintain their secret.  

Fortunately, Batman had already picked up on the trail of the terrible trio and intervened before the young woman was killed.  Batman made short work of the three cads and handed them over to the authorities.  With rock solid evidence, no high-priced attorney was able to get the three men off and each were sentenced to long prison terms at Stonegate Penitentiary.  

Actor Bill Mumy provided the voice for Warren Lawford; with Peter Scolari voicing Gunther Hardwicke and David Jolliffe voicing Armand Lydecker.  The threesome appeared in the sixteenth episode of the second season of Batman: The Animated Series, ‘The Terrible Trio.’

I remember seeing the premier trailer for Robotomy and the main characters Thrasher and Blastus stood out to me as two robots that would have been henchbots or minions working under a villain but didn't know who. A few years later, I watched this show Wander over Yonder, and saw the first villain, Lord Hater. At first, I imagined these two pairing with Hater similar to the villains from AOSTH (yes it was an old guilty pleasure), but after watching the second season of WOY and discovering Lord Dominator, I realize instead of Hater, Dominator having these two robots working for her actually makes up the "Terrible Trio" trope (personal favorite trope). The inspiration behind this came from an anime series called Time Bokan's Yatterman with its main villains the Doronbo gang, and a Western animated show "The Venture Bros" with the show's villains the Monarch and Henchman 21 & 24. The terrible trio's goal after Dominator's downfall would be to rebuild her villain reputation, finding and collecting Volcanium X or other powerful artifacts to power her future empire, and whether to conquer the galaxy this time or go back to destroying it (regardless the latter being in vain since the dead planets grew back life), but only to be constantly foiled by Wander and Sylvia, stronger villains, or actual galactic heroes (or a galactic government system if WOY would establish one).

Personally, if it weren't for the fact that both shows were mistreated badly by both their respective networks and cancelled, this trio could work together, why?

Dominator's minions are mostly robots she made. So, after her defeat, I like to imagine she required assistance and buys off parts of Thrasher and Blastus from a sleazy merchant with all the money she had left to build herself personal henchbots, but realized these robots are majorly harmless, and she can't afford any more for better robots, she would have to modify them from the ground up to be bad bots.

Thrasher and Blastus grew up in a planet where robots destroy each other on a daily basis, even having to move from planet to planet 6 times very month because they keep destroying their own planets, so even if Dominator still had her destructive nature, these two would be cool and just roll with her plans since they're used to planetary destruction.

Dominator doesn't have friends, nor does she have any interest in making one. Thrasher and Blastus are robots who have their own thoughts and even feelings, something that makes them stand out from most other robots, so having them work, interact, and get along with her would make some potential character development for Dominator while still being a villain.

Thrasher and Blastus from the original show may not be bad guys, but from what their school taught them is to become destructive and violent robots, something these two tend to struggle with but in some miracles still manage to pass and prevail. I imagine they would barely graduate and get pawned off to be someone's personal henchbots.

Dominator would be the boss of the group and in charge of how to rebuild her empire and ship and in occasions make plans for giant mecha robots (since she made her first ships and robots by herself). Thrasher and Blastus not only would provide their strengths, but Blastus coming up schemes and scams to raise money to build up Dominator's ship and robots, and Thrasher providing logical planning and advice to their boss, being the level-headed of the group.

Thrasher and Blastus had some experience on having feelings of hope, love, and friendship, that it literally almost got them killed, being sent to a giant sun, so they would destroy anyone who holds that ideology, especially Wander. Not to mention Jack McBrayer voice both Wander and Frenemy from Robotomy, who was obsessed with being Thrasher and Blastus’ friend, they went to meet Frenemy in person just to destroy him, so I imagine when Thrasher and Blastus meet and get to know Wander, they would straight up attack him, and anyone associated with him on sight.

(I also did some redesign for Dominator's attire; personally, I didn't like her official design from the show, especially after reading the reason why she dresses similar to Hater, so I gave her outfit some red and black to go with Blastus' blue and Thrasher's yellow, and designed her helmet based on Weenus' head design, since both characters look almost similar.)

Terrible Trio as Horror Tropes

(slight body horror cw in the text)

Molly Underhill

Haunted House: Decrepit and falling apart at the seams; time has not been kind to you, has it? Termites have nestled in your bones and stray cats find comfort in your sinews. You may be victim to time and erosion, but your abandoned corpse remains a refuge for unwanted things. Vermin and ghosts thank you. What greater kindness can there be than offering shelter?

Felix Grace

Monster: It was not your fault- at first, at least. You cannot help being the way that you are. Even if you could, would you choose to change? They met you with torches raised and screaming mouths, the only choice you had was to flee, but you will not stay away forever. They whisper your name in fear, and you will make sure you hurt them just as much as they hurt you.

Lor Underhill

Ancient Evil: They have wronged you. Perhaps, once, you were something powerful- something to be looked at with adoration and worship and fear. But time does not yield to you, and when you lay to sleep, you awake to find yourself forgotten. Your rage is insatiable. No matter what, you will make sure they do not forget this time.

commentary under the cut

i saw this uquiz floating around and got so excited i couldn’t wait to be tagged lol.

tagging a few people just in case you guys are interested (no pressure though! also i know the subject matter might not be everybody’s cup of tea): @opaleyedprince @devilbrakers @arealcrow @katsigian @feykiller @detectivelokis @mapeslyrup @aartyom @bunfey @molochka-koshka @aelyosos

all of the results of these are so good but especially molly and felix.

the comparison of a haunted house just guts me. molly is so incredibly nurturing and maternal despite the death that surrounds her so what better a comparison to make? i am definitely adapting this into her motifs now.

and felix, although he sought out to become the monster he is, it was secondary to his true goal of simply having more time to find mollena so 😭.

lor’s is really good too, the rage is so true for him, and perhaps not being forgotten, but his rejection from his own kind definitely fuels him
