Characters / The Commentary Community

There are various faces within the Slideshow Commentary Community, both past and present, and this page goes into detail on what many of them are like, as well as any notable tropes involving them.

The Cloud Palace

A commentary group created and ran by Doodletones. Originally meant to be a joke group that only existed to make fun of commentary groups that don't make anything, it quickly became a serious commentary group.

Doodletones

Has her own page.

Kirbystarwarrior

• Ax-Crazy: Multiple commentaries show that he's willing to kill at the drop of a hat. In the Cloud Palace comm, 2018: A Subjective Odyssey, he casually states how he's tempted to mutilate the first person he sees as a way to release anger. He also attempts to kill Luckster in Tag-Team Tap-Dance to stop Luckster from covering videos he wants to cover first.
• Berserk Button: He gets very annoyed when people act as if subjectivity debunks subjectivity. When the target of the first Cloud Palace commentary, Sidewinder, told his target, PhyloFilms, to stop making reviews all because of a different opinion, he exploded.
• Character Signature Song: People have taken note of how often he has Clint Eastwood play in his commentaries during post-recording interjections.
• Disproportionate Retribution: Attempted to kill Luckster for covering videos he wanted to cover first.
• It Amused Me: His reason for creating Acronym. He admitted to being apathetic on whether it succeeds or fails, he just wanted to create a commentary group to see what running one was like.
• Murder by Mistake: In the ending of Tag-Team Tap-Dance, when he and Luckster attempt to fight each other to the death, they end up killing Crimson Paladin instead who unexpectedly entered to try and join the commentary.
• The Snark Knight: Will make sarcastic and condescending remarks towards everyone, himself included.

LunaticTheGame

• Character Signature Song: Premonition of a Grand Adventure during their early commentaries owing to Lunatics association with the Dragon Ball franchise at that time.
• Creator Breakdown: suffers one at the end of their 50th commentary after sitting through their first 10 commentaries. They get better almost immediately after this, however.
• Embarrassing Nickname: Is sometimes jokingly referred to as Lunadickthegay by friends
• Gilligan Cut: While rewatching their 3rd Commentary, their past self claims they're getting a call from Piccolo and that he's telling their subject to rewatch Dragon Ball GT. Cut back to present-day Lunatic who gets a call from Piccolo who tells Lunatic that his past self was incorrect.
• Gratuitous German: Quite often, especially in late 2018/early 2019 Lunatic would throw in German words or phrases such as "Lasst uns anfangen" or "Scheisse" and would even have an entire interjection in (incredibly broken by their own admission) German in their 31st Commentary.
• Gratuitous Japanese: Utilized in many of their early commentaries (Mostly in the form of Luna substituting the word "idiot" for "Baka"), especially in 2018 though mostly phased out in the years since.
• I Have No Son!: More like "I have no father" as Lunatic has denounced his Father(?), Crimson Paladin, multiple times in their commentaries
• Keep Circulating the Tapes: While most of Lunatics Commentaries are still viewable in some shape or form, "Commentary #34: Salty Ball Z 2" and "Commentary 28.5" have been removed from his channel completely without a word.
• Little Bit Beastly: Their Sona is a "nyanbinary" Neko
• Old Shame: The vast majority of their Commentaries if their 50th commentary is any indication
• "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Delivers an incredibly lengthy one towards themselves at the end of his 50th Commentary where he denounced his commentary series for a variety of reasons including his condescending attitude, editing quality and piss poor argumentive skills. Their shadow self thankfully helps them understand that these flaws don't have to define them and that they should focus on improving themselves over hating themselves for their flaws.
• Sudden Name Change: Lunatics commentaries were briefly named "Asylum Commentaries" starting with the video on Score PN. the name was quietly changed back to the simpler "Commentary #" with the first video on Jonie Roo

---

MidnightAnubis/SolarFenrir

Real name: David

• Beware the Nice Ones : Oftentimes, David is a lot nicer to the people he commentates on, but when he's angry, he's really angry. As shown with TheFinalParadox's failed attempt at apologizing and when he called out Ashley W for accusing him of not listing good traits about Envy when he did in the original list.

• Character Development: After the FOX incident, David kept beating himself up over it. But Damon helped him come to terms with what he did. After that, David felt a lot more confident in himself and worked together with his dark side to take down JonFawkes.
• Evil Brit: David's dark side, Damon, has a British accent. This is due to him being the personification of David's memories of using a British accent to act more gentlemanly when he was younger. Downplayed in that he's more of a jerk than evil.

• Heroic Sacrifice: In "The Final Encounter," David sacrificed his life to save his dark side and his love from the bad guy.
  David: I will take his place to save his life and hers.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Damon tends to be more harsh and sarcastic than David himself, but is otherwise quite polite. He even helped David get over the FOX incident.

• My God, What Have I Done?: Whatever happened during the FOX incident, David deeply regrets what he did.

• Noodle Incident: The FOX incident. David used to be a member of FOX but was kicked out for doing something he doesn't like to talk about. Only those directly involved (and Damon) know what happened.

• The Dreaded: Damon's analytical nature and ability to go through with his threats makes him this.
  Damon: If I grant this to those who consider him an ally, I can grant hell to those who consider him an enemy. I’m an analytical person, I take notes on their moments of weakness at points in the event they become a threat to those around them.
• The Hero Dies: David, the main character on his channel, sacrificed his life to save his dark side and girlfriend.
