[fruitymarcy]

I just learned Boxman Jr. was partially inspired by Olimar I’m geeking out so hard rn

[emmy-the-dragoness]

Been a hot minute did I posted an official video of mine related to OK KO 😜

(That and I joined in on the Sonic Frontiers music meme bandwagon!)

[snickeringdragon]

snick you need to tell me where ok ko wasted its potential and how you think it could be made better i havent seen anyone talk about this damn show in ages Yes im here because of skiddle's tags hi skiddle. hi snick

AHHAHAHAHAHAA. YOU HAVE NO IDEA. YOU HAVE NO IDEA

AHEM.

ok ko spoilers, obviously

...i should put this under a cut

opens up a powerpoint presentation. ok ko is in my opinion overall a very good show. its incredibly funny, charming, and...sometimes well written story wise. unfortunately it has a very very big failing in a very very big plot point

clicks to the next slide. my beautiful son tko.

tko himself is fine. i have no issues with his CHARACTER. i take issue with how his character is treated. tko is, by himself, a child with anger issues, he reacts very poorly to being agitated but like...

he has to be agitated first.

there is not a single example before season 3 where tko like, wrecks shit or whatever without being provoked, in his debut for example, hes just doing his job (albeit begrudgingly) before enid and rad provoke him, and he starts fighting them

however, the show always seems to act like tko is in the wrong, treats him like a villain despite his mostly heroic acts, is he PERFECT? no!! hes a fucking kid with anger issues!! he was locked inside a mind cage!! he doesnt know how to deal with things so he hits them!!! he just. happens to be able to hit things very very hard and with lightning bolts.

another example is the season 1 finale, youre in control. in yic tko. literally doesnt do anything wrong. like im not joking.

in yic tko gets let out to fight boxman jr and like...he does that. he throws boxman jr back to boxmore and then chases him over to boxmore. he does not attack a single hero in this episode. he does not do any damage to the plaza. the worst thing he does in this episode is put ko back in the cage. yet its STILL treated like hes doing something wrong???

another thing about tko. tko wants freedom. he says this outright. being locked inside a literal cage will do that to ya. i want to make sure real quick that we're on the same page here that locking a 6-11 year old boy inside a cage is bad no matter how badly he is at managing his anger issues right. right. okay. tko deserved to be uncaged. and he WAS. except...

when he gets out of the cage in youre in control. thats great and all but...his next appearance, tkos house, hes still upset. he still wants his freedom. its just that instead of being locked in a cage hes locked in a (pretty cool honestly) house. it doesnt matter how nice you make an enclosure, sometimes itll just never work for the animal. and thats what tko is like, he wants out, he wants control over the body, which like. is fucking fair?? im someone who REALLY understands the importance of going outside often, tko really deserves to be allowed outside their headspace. its good for you.

but tko DOESNT. GET THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he shows up. LITERALLY TWICE in season 2 (thats 40 episodes!) and NEITHER of his appearances (tkos house, dark plaza) does he even get to use the body on his own!! its always fused as pko!! he doesnt get a turn!!

and then when season three starts. uh. glances at tko rules. Yeah. The Subconscious. he gets trapped in a dark empty void for [checks notes] about two weeks. minimum.

what im getting at here. is that tko never really left that cage.

okay. im gonna touch on one more tko thing. the FUCKING finale. [furious]

quick recap, in the finale ko and tko have a plot twist moment where "oh hey! ko and tko are the same person actually! and now theyve accepted eachother as the same person and can be happy! hooray!" except like. mko (finale fusion) is just ko

like seriously hes JUST ko. his design? leaning towards kos features. his personality? LITERALLY just ko theres not a hint of tko there. its not the two of them "accepting eachother" or whatever its. its the writers killing off tko.

as well as like. a guy i know pointed this out and i cannot fucking get over it. if they were just going to ""fuse the two"" in the end then WHY. in GODS NAME. is tkos LITERAL FIRST LINE OF DIALOGUE.

"no, not ko."

hes so fucking INSISTENT on correcting people when they call him ko (which is ANOTHER gripe i have with this show. NOBODY calls him his name) and they just. oh yeah hes actually ko lol. LIKE DUDE. THIS ISNT HOW YOU WRITING.

i didnt even mention the issues regarding system stereotypes. i didnt even mention dark plaza since i was focusing on tko. i didnt even. theres so much. i need to stop. now. goodbye.

i just want to talk about voxman for a minute

they have like 10 kids in all

ONE OF WHICH THEY LITERALLY MADE TOGETHER 🏳️‍🌈

but that child died (rest in pieces Boxman Jr) he was killed by his half brother TKO (no one knew they were half brothers at this point) (it might be good to tag for ok ko spoilers on this)

but back to voxman

They became roommates at Professor Venomous’ lair because PV found Boxman in his trashcan after being shot into the sun, and like hours later, Boxman had completely destroyed Venomous’ house. PV got over it because Boxman was just bein silly, then they moved into Boxman’s

but that’s just Boxman Crashes (s2 ep25)

Arguably Voxman gets set into motion through the season 1 episode “Villains Night Out”

Boxman convinces PV to bring him as his plus-one to a supervillain mingling boat party , hijinks ensue, boxman eventually blows up the boat and PV proposes asks to join forces with Boxman and that eventually leads to them making that child together

obvious proposal imagery ^^^^

and they actually are canonically married by the last episode #gaywrongs

DFKIOERGJIBNHITHJTIHJNGMHIFJOPGKDFKDGGJ BABY 

[3wisellamas]

So, want to cry some more?  Here’s another sad DVC realization.

That’s a diaper box that SV gave to Boxy to pack his kids in.  Why the heck was there just a random diaper box lying around the factory?

Granted, it could be a holdover from when the bots were in diapers themselves, but that would have been quite a while ago.  But, there was someone in diapers much more recently:  Junior.  

Remember when Boxman was importing all those weapons and baby supplies for him?  That’s very likely where the bulk-sized box came from.  And...why it didn’t get thrown away.  It’s a memento.

So, three things.  First, courtesy of @the-golden-ghost , SV literally gave Boxman a reminder of their first joint project, their child together, as he was telling him to GTFO.  Their DEAD child, that Boxman even brought up that first day he and PV moved in together.  Ouch.

Second, on a slightly happier note, SV also gave Boxy a little bit of Junior to take with him along with the rest of his kids.  And, a little bit of Junior to set free as well -- the baby was present there in spirit if nothing else.

Third...it was a memento of Junior, dangit.  To the bots as well, not just to Boxman.  That’s why they were thinking so much of him throughout the latter half of the episode, and why Shannon brought him up specifically during their battle with TKO!
