Yes to Roger (classic Roger), but I’ll hop on the Bo Burnham train too, this time with an MB proposal.

What’s the work?

“Welcome to the Internet” is a song by Bo Burnham from his 2021 tragicomedy special Inside.

The candidate is the singer, implied to be the personification of the Internet itself.

Who is “the Internet”?

The Internet introduces its sales pitch to the listener: “a little bit of everything, all of the time”. It really is everything, from innocent things like cooking tutorials and quirky quizzes, to more unsettling things like murder tutorials and poor drawings of Harry Potter characters being intimate with each other. Any single way you want to use the Internet, the Internet is complacent to. The song then reaches a slow part, where the Internet reveals that before it became the global juggernaut that it is now, it waited for you—“unstoppable, watchable” you, and the day when it could put the world in your hands, no matter what way you want to use it. Its plan having worked, the Internet lets out an Evil Laugh and sings one more chorus.

Is it magnificent?

And how! We don’t even know who or what it is, and it catches us immediately with its thrilling sales pitch and Affably Evil demeanor. With its power of putting infinite information at your disposal, it was able to manipulate literally everyone in the world—including you. Just ignore the fact that it encourages racism, pedophilia, & anti-vaxxing, and it checks.

How much of a bastard is it?

Well, it’s definitely a bastard. A villain, even. It freely allows its users to spread systemic racism, mass murder, & nuclear warfare, and represents all the disgusting, abhorrent things one can do with the Internet, as well as everything wrong with humanity as a whole. But it’s cool, so that balances it out.

Verdict?

Yes.

Abstain on the internet. I feel like I will need to view it for myself, and I'm too busy to listen to a 5 minute song

—signature not found—

What is the work?

Virus Alert, a song by "Weird Al" Yankovic from his album "Straight Outta Lynwood".

Who is "The Virus"?

The Virus is a computer virus that is attached to an email with the subject "Stinky Cheese". If you get it, it does random effects, including erasing easter-eggs off of your DVD's, tying your phone to make distance prank-calls, and even causing a major rift in time and space.

Any redeeming qualities, Freudian Excuse?

In order to get rid of the virus, you need to send it to everyone you know, or turn off the computer, drop it in a 40 feet hole, and burn any clothes you may have worn anytime that you're online.

Is it bad enough?

The Virus has done crazy things, causing chaos to many people who got the email with The Virus on it. Messing their hard drive, their keyboards, their computer screens, and more.

Final Verdect?

Edited by Owen23 on Apr 8th 2023 at 9:39:39 AM

32 years later, and he's still maximum pink.

What is the work?

Bluey is an animated series — not a cartoon! An *animated series*! — that can be really really dark sometimes! Don't believe me? One episode involved involved a poor, innocent little girl being in the hospital and they don't even say what she has!

Who is Bandit Heeler?

He's the father of the protagonist and her little sister, and he's often seen doing bizarre LARPs with his two daughters or spouting weird exclamations related to food.

What has he done?

He's an abusive parent! ... You don't believe me, do you? Well, in one episode, he "fluffies" (farts) in his daughter's face and lies when confronted. And in another episode, he eats some food belonging to his other daughter. It doesn't matter if his wife said that the daughter didn't want it, he still shouldn't have done it. And that's not all — one episode is all about him playing "too rough" with his little daughter! You know who else gets described as "too rough"? Abusers!

Conclusion

Bottom text.

For every low there is a high.

I feel like Bandit is too heinous for CM

I have an idea for Magnificent Bastard. This is my first time making something like this so this should go super well.

What's The Work? Final Fantasy VII needs no introduction. It is the most prominent entry in the Final Fantasy series, with several spinoffs coming out from this game to this very day.

What Is The Character? The Buster Sword, as the name implies, is a sword that is absolutely busted. It is the signature weapon of the protagonist, Cloud Strife.

How Is It Magnificent? It is approximately five to six feet long with a one-foot-wide blade. Realistically, no human should be able to wield it but thanks to anime protagonist bullshittery, Cloud wields it with the accuracy of a pool noodle.

How Is It a Bastard? I mean, it's not sentient, but it is literally a sword, is that good enough for you?

It's been 3000 years…

Got a devious and yet wholesome MB proposal right here from the last character you would ever expect:

What's the work in question?

Snoopy Presents: It's the Small Things, Charlie Brown it's a Peanuts special released for Earth's Day on Apple TV+. In it Charlie Brown and his baseball team want to train for a match against Peppermint Patty's team but a certain someone will pose an obstacle...

Who is Sally Brown and what has she done?

Sally Brown, Charlie Brown's younger sister and iconic Dumb Blonde and Annoying Younger Sibling, it's presented in this special as a machiavellian manipulative mastermind with good intentions at heart.

Sally is first shown entering Charlie's team as he promised her she would when she turned 5, but is shown to be a pretty bad player, making her feel that she's still "too small" to play with the team. It is then when she discovers a dandelion in the pitcher's mound, which she befriends, believing that small people like them should look out for each other, and promises the dandelion that she'll protect it at all costs.

From then on, Sally refuses to move from the pitcher's mound, much to the chagrin of Charlie's team who want to train for the match. When Charlie's manipulative attempts at making her move (telling her that mom has made her favorite cookies and begging on his knees for her to move) all fail, they just decide to play with her and the dandelion around. But Sally uses many clever techniques such as an umbrella or a tennis racquet to protect the dandelion from being hurt by the ball, and does other tasks such as watering the dandelion that leads to players trippin on the ground.

To Charlie's surprise, Sally managed to stay in the mound for the entire night, still refusing to leave the dandelion no matter what, so Charlie decides to get Lucy's help to convince her to move. But Sally instead convinces her to join her cause for the dandelion, which leads to Lucy convincing many more children to join them to do a sit-in for the dandelion, to the point that even Charlie's team and even Snoopy join them.

It goes to a point that through a song Sally convinces all of the children to help clean up the baseball field for the dandelion, picking up the litter, painting the fences, and planting more vegetation.

Due to all the people making it impossible to play the game in the field, and being told that the game will be counted as a loss for Charlie's team for forfeit, Charlie takes drastic measures, and decides that he'll take the dandelion and leave it somewhere else so that everyone will go away, but Sally refuses to even let him touch it, which leads to a fight that ends with both of them pulling up the dandelion and accidentally killing it. Sally mournfully decides to leave with what's left of the dandelion, telling Charlie that he finally has won, which leads to everyone else leaving too, and for Charlie to realize that they truly cleaned the field and left it beautiful. Charlie looks for Sally and apologizes for his actions and for not understanding how much that dandelion meant for her and so many other people, apologies which Sally accepts. He then shows her the baseball field and what she and the dandelion were able to accomplish together.

The baseball field is then reopened with the new mascot and team name "The Dandelions" and with Sally as the assistant manager. As they start the game, Charlie suggests the idea of expanding the cleaning even further, with Sally responding that "wiser words have never been spoken".

Magnificent?

For her well-known status as a Dumb Blonde, and for how incompetent she seems at the baseball match at the start, Sally proves to be pretty magnificent in this special, as thanks to her promise to the dandelion, she refuses to move from the mound no matter what, staying all night with it, not falling for Charlie's manipulations and using many clever techniques to keep the dandelion safe from the players. If that wasn't enough she manages to convince Lucy to join her cause which leads to Lucy convincing many more people to join them and turn the field into a sit-in, which then leads to Sally convincing everyone to clean up the field.

Bastard? Too much?

It might not seem much, but her refusal to move from the mound means that the team has a hard time being able to train for the match, which annoys the team to no end, and makes them get mad at Charlie Brown, and by the time practically everyone has joined the stand-in, playing is pretty much impossible, which would've made Charlie's team lose for forfeit, much to Charlie's disdain, as he wanted to win a match against Peppermint Patty's team for once.

But keep in mind, this is all done with good intentions. Sally felt legitimately bad about how bad she was at the game, believing she was still "too small" to play, until she met the dandelion and decided to befriend it and promise it she would look after it no matter what, believing that together they could make "big things" which does end with both convincing everyone to clean up the field. Even after Charlie accidentally kills the dandelion, she does accept his apology for his actions and joins the team once again as the assistant manager.

Verdict?

Total keeper since in case you couldn't tell this was all a trick to get all of you to watch the new Peanuts specials on AppleTV which are beautiful and gorgeous and you should totally watch them.

Write-up:

• Snoopy Presents: It's the Small Things, Charlie Brown: Sally Brown is presented in this special as a machiavellian mastermind with good intentions at heart. Saddened by her incompetence at playing baseball, Sally befriends a dandelion in the pitcher's mound, which she promises to take care of at all costs. From then on, she refuses to move from the mound, staying up all night, not falling for Charlie's manipulations, and using clever techniques to keep the dandelion safe from players. When Charlie sends Lucy to convince her to move, Sally instead convinces her to join her cause for the dandelion, which leads to Lucy convincing many more children to join their stand-in, children which Sally then convinces to clean up the baseball field for the dandelion. After Charlie's attempt of taking the dandelion away leads to a fight that ends with them accidentally killing the dandelion, Sally mournfully leaves, accepting Charlie's victory, but later accepting his apology for his actions, and then rejoining the team as the assistant manager.

Yes to Sally:

I've got a Smurf CM candidate:

What is the work?

"Papa Smurf's Final Solution" is a Smurf Adaptation by Solid jj.

After one too many mishaps costing the Smurfs several smurfberries, Papa decides to go to extreme lengths.

Who is Papa Smurf and what has he done?

Papa Smurf, initially a seemingly reasonable authority figure, has decided to eliminate "undesirables" in response to the recurring insufficiency of the smurf berry quota.

To this end, he recruits Handy to build prison camps which these "undesirables" can stay at until the Smurfs "reorganise", in actuality intending on Genociding them.

When Brainy objects to the plans in question, Papa doubles down on his Socially Darwinistic rhetoric, invoking the idea of a "Master Smurf Race".

The "undesirables" are shown to be murdered, prompting a reaction of shock from Gargamel (who is supposed to want to capture smurfs for some reason).

Mitigating Factors?

We see smurfs dying in the second last screen, so Offscreen villainy isn't an issue. Furthermore, while he initially appears to be well-intentioned, he is really just socially darwinistic. Also, while he is implied to have frequented SmurfAnon forums, his moral agency hasn't been compromised at all.

Heinousness?

He disturbs even Gargamel with his viciousness! Enough said!

Verdict?

I'm noticing a pattern here, aren't you?

Edited by SkyCat32 on Feb 27th 2024 at 8:40:27 AM

Rawr.

Here is my CM proposal, made with the care and finesse of a teen who has better things to do than that.

What is the work?

Puyo Puyo 2 is a 1992 competitive Falling Blocks puzzle games made by Compile and released on Arcade, Mega Drive, Game Gear, Super Nintendo and a lot of other supports.

Who is Arle Nadja?

Arle Nadja is a young mage who can master the elements with her magic (Fire, ice, you know the drill...) She's also usually accompained by Carbuncle, her pet... Laser-shooting bunny-creature-whatever?

What has she done?

Arle is a very arrogant and ruthless mage, who doesn't hesitate to emotionally abuse her opponents before the fights by saying extremely hurtful things, or even threaten them. It is always unprovoked, as her opponents only stand there waiting for a good fight, and are nothing more than friendly (they says and do nothing to her at all, for real). You don't believe me? Well: She call Suketoudara "Not very handsome" for the sole reason that he's a fish with human legs and arms (Making her prejudiced toward such creatures too on top of that), assume a Will-o-wisp can't even think straight because his eyes are shut (which can be interpreted as her being ableist), and threaten to eat a terrified and pleading little mermaid named Seriri ("Any kind of fish is still delicious" can clearly be interpreted as a threat). As I said, there's much more opponents and much worse things she do to them too. She also have a thirst for power, going through a whole tower and beating up every single living thing inside just to prove that she's the best at Puyo Puyo.

Verdict

And please play Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. Thanks you very much.

Time for a CM proposal, and ooooh boy is this one vile.

What is the work?

The work? The work is a tragedy, sometimes a comedy, full of challenges. A work where people struggle to get a decent existence every day, a work where politicians would be better in circuses...

Aka, real life.

Who is the candidate and what have they done?

TV Tropes itself is nothing more than an ancient Eldritch Abomination that has existed before time itself. TV Tropes has traveled from world to world, destroying societies by dragging them into an endless cycle of associating tropes to works, distracting them from important things and eventually causing them to fall.

TV Tropes eventually reached our very world, where it's operating to this very day, disguised as a seemingly innocent website.

Any redeeming qualities? Freudian Excuse?

Absolutely not.

Are they bad enough?

Let's be honest, what great evil is there than the fate TV Tropes put people into? We can no longer look at works without thinking of the tropes. Our perception of things has been changed forever. We'll never be the same ever again. Not you, not I, not anyone else.

Final verdict?

Yes.

to Papa Smurf, Arja and TV Tropes

Got a CM proposal here.

What is the work?

Bocchi the Rock! is a manga that began serialization in 2017 and later received an anime adaptation in 2022. It's about a girl named Hitori Gotō, aka Bocchi, who wants to become a guitarist in a rock band, and later joins a small time rock group consisting of a girl with dorito hair, a weed addict and a redhead lesbian. Unfortunately for Bocchi, in addition to all the troubles that come with being in an unknown indie band, she also has to deal with an evil entity that's been tormenting her for her whole life.

Who is Social Anxiety? What has it done?

An unknown entity with no stated gender, Social Anxiety has dedicated it's life to hurting Bocchi in one way or another. The most common method is by tormenting her mind with unrealstic but horrific scenarios such as failing to make eye contact at a store and being given the death penalty for it, being burned alive for not socializing during a school activity, or her friends leaving her because she's not cool enough. But it has also wrecked her self confidence enough to where she comes off as so pathetic that even birds hate her and attack her on sight! It's so sadistic and dedicated to it's craft that nearly anytime Bocchi has the slightest bit of confidence, Social Anxiety comes in and does it's best to absolutely crush her and bring her back to square one, or whenever she is facing an actual problem it decides to make her situation worse with the aforementioned mind torture.

As of rn the manga is still ongoing, and unfortunately for the time being Social Anxiety is a Karma Houdini still harming that poor girl. Let's pray that maybe someday that will change and this vile, horrible entity will be vanished forever.

Any Mitigating Factors? Nah.

Heinousness? There are the aforementioned birds as well as some annoying beach bros who bother the girls at one point, but they're just one off antagonists. Social Anxiety is the Big Bad of the whole manga and pretty much sets the standard, so there's no real contest here.

Conclusion? I'd say yes.

"My swimsuit fits me well, right?" - Cynthia

You know not all of us finished that game...

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

Specter Knight for Complete Monster because their fight annoyed me

I've got somebody.

What's the work?

"Friar's Rubbing Wood: Fall of Nottingham" is a YouTube Poop by HourofPoop, a YouTube channel run by two British brothers. You can see it for yourself here:

Anyway, it's notable for turning one of the most unlikely Disney characters into a truly despicable villain.

Who is he? What has he done?

The Villain Protagonist of the Poop is Disney's take on Friar Tuck from the Robin Hood mythos. Unlike in the movie, his kindly, jovial demeanor is a façade, covering up a truly depraved and malevolent individual who will fly into a severe rage over the most minor of slights and respond with utterly horrific retaliation.

We open on the Sheriff of Nottingham, who's become a talk show host, as he prepares to introduce and interview Friar Tuck. While some pictures of him give an early glimpse of his nasty side, the interview seems to go fairly well at first... up until Tuck demands the Sheriff marry him. The Sheriff refuses, leading an enraged Tuck to pull out a gun and shoot him on live TV. As Tuck's led away by the police, Alan-a-Dale informs the audience that when it comes to the terrible things Tuck's done, killing the Sheriff was just the tip of the iceberg.

And he's not kidding. Oh boy, is he not kidding.

We cut to several years earlier, where Tuck is hanging out with Robin Hood and Little John. After the three of them decide to go to the strangely-named Ara Ara Turd, Prince John learns of their plans from Guy of Gisbourne and decides to set a trap for them there. All hell breaks loose at the tournament after Jango Fett exposes Robin, and in the ensuing fracas, Jango accidentally blasts an ice pop Friar Tuck wanted to eat, for which Tuck kills him. Tuck tries to buy another, but Skippy cuts in front of him, and an enraged Tuck steals it. Skippy complains to Prince John, who (along with Sir Hiss) is appalled at Tuck's pettiness; when Tuck refuses to return the ice pop, Lady Cluck publicly humiliates him by stabbing him in the rear with a golden arrow. Tuck still refuses to apologize, and John punishes him by sentencing him to work for Electronic Arts, but Tuck manages to escape, swearing a terrible revenge.

As it turns out, Tuck secretly dabbles in magic, and he puts his talents to use. He starts by redirecting an arrow Skippy shoots so that it hits and kills Lady Cluck, then sending a demonic version of Maid Marian (or possibly the actual Maid Marian under Demonic Possession) to damn Skippy to Hell, after which the poor boy vanishes without a trace. That done, he transforms the Moon into a malevolent being that looks and sounds like Charles Laughton, which summons a terrible windstorm that blows Prince John and Sir Hiss into space. Once Sir Ector shows up to arrest him, Tuck convinces the knight to go with him under the pretense of saving Nottingham from Laughton, then uses him as a Human Sacrifice for his Salute the Sun spell. The Sun rises, driving away Laughton's moon, and Tuck is hailed as a hero. The Sheriff is suspicious, but there's little he can do with no evidence, and Tuck goes to Las Vegas.

This isn't the end of Tuck's revenge, though. Not long after Tuck leaves, a Pillar of Light extends from the Sun to Prince John's castle, slowly spreading outwards until it consumes and incinerates all of Nottingham, killing everyone inside it. Tuck watches from the ship he's on and laughs in satisfaction.

Like I said, Alan-a-Dale wasn't kidding.

To Be Continued...?

Heinousness?

Not only does his destruction of Nottingham and everybody still in it put him well over the general heinous standard, he outclasses every other character, good guy or bad guy, by far. Prince John and his minions are practically saints compared to him, Robin Hood's worst deed (castrating Richard Hammond) happens entirely offscreen, Little John's worst deed of assassinating Prince John with propane is undone almost immediately, and even the Laughton Moon pales in comparison.

Mitigating factors?

On first glance, his friendship with Robin and John and his desire for the Sheriff to marry him might look like they disqualify him, but on even mildly close examination, they fall apart. Tuck seems to get along fairly well with Robin Hood and Little John, but his conspicuous lack of reaction when Robin falls into Hell and heavily implied willingness to kill them as collateral damage for his revenge scheme (there's no indication he knew they would be out of Nottingham at the time) shows that any fond feelings he may have for them are superficial if not outright fake and he's perfectly willing to get rid of them both without a second thought if he thinks it will benefit him. As for the Sheriff, he claims to be in love with him, but we can't take him at his word (for reasons I've established at length), he never backs up his professions of love, and he murders him with no hint of regret, remorse or conflicted feelings. Since the evidence overwhelmingly suggests that his "love" for the Sheriff was just possessive desire, it doesn't keep him out of this.

Anything else?

The To Be Continued ending implies a sequel is in the works, but this Poop stands alone as a complete story and there is no follow-up as of this writing. If something in it disqualifies him, he can be removed, but for the time being, I'm going to say Tuck's story is essentially over.

Verdict?

Easy, easy

Edited by ImperialMajestyXO on Jul 22nd 2023 at 1:03:42 AM

Time for my first Magnificent Bitch proposal here

What's the Work?!

''The Adventurentures of Good-Boy and Copy-Cat" is a Superhero parody story about the titular duo and their adventures in a world of Superheroes, Supervillains and Supernormal civilians. Good-Boy the Dog is the typical Cape, Nice Guy and Flying Brick, while Copy-Cat the Cat is his sidekick, and a bit of an outcast in the Superhero community because she can shapeshift into other people, stereotypically a villainous power.

Most of the supervillains encountered at the start of the story are only the appetizers for the Big Bad.

Who's the Candidate? What has She Done?!

Machinatia Brigantaggio◊ is the cheeky and ruthless leader of the organization of conspirators The Sneaky Eye, who she treats with respect (even if she doesn't genuinely care about any of them).

She sports a purple hood, a device that allows her to teleport, a Bastard Sword made of blue Hard Light, an Italian accent, incredible technology and plans of world domination.

What we know about her mysterious past is that she has attempted (and come dangerously close) to taking over the world many times in the past (dialogue implies that one of these attempts consisted in her being the Woman Behind the Man for Julius Caesar), but some hero managed to defeat her in the end again and again. Seeing that Good Always Win, she decided "[She'd] make Evil the new Good."

And so she pulled strings and managed to get a lot of her minions into the book-writing, movie-making, series-making, game-developing and mangaking businesses. She then had her minions create countless fictional stories with one common theme: Antagonists that are way cooler than the heroes.

Spanning decades, these works would help create a collective Pop Culture of Evil Being Cool while Good Is Boring and, in real life, Machinatia would take Ineffective supervillains and personally train them to become more competent and cooler, helping this Evil Is Cool culture, as well as bringing the superheroes some damning losses, even if they would eventually win, they still started to be seen as less cool than the villains.

After all this scheming in the shadows, Machinatia and her minions would finally step into the spotlight with well-organized bank heists that were, in fact, not for the sake of money, but mere publicity stunts. During these robberies, her and her minions would ride on futuristic skateboards, make quips while fighting the police with hardlight swords and even host Rock Concerts in the middle of the heist with her own Villain Song "Vile, with Style" (during which she'd turn her sword into an electric guitar).

Needless to say, with her Evil Is Cool antics, charisma and a sprinkle of Evil Is Sexy, Machinatia became very popular among people and, most importantly, the very superheroes' young, impressionable Sidekicks, including Good-Boy's sidekick Copy-Cat.

Machinatia recruited the Sidekicks into her own ranks and then started her true plan of world conquest, which went smoothly, with the world's people outright welcoming her conquest and even helping her because she's just so cool!

The Superheroes, of course, wanted to stop her, but she sicced her army of corrupted sidekicks on them, enemies that the Superheroes would never harm, so they all surrendered to Machinatia.

The heroes at her mercy, Machinatia sent them to the Figure Dimension, where they'd all be frozen into action figures...and sent the Sidekicks there too.

Machinatia: Listen-a: If the heroes made you their sidekicks in the first place-a it's 'cuz they saw true goodness deep inside your guts, goodness that could never be corrupted forever! Alluvya brats needed one powerful scene where you looked at something your guardians gave ya and reminisced about the good times-a and poof: you'd have been good again and turned on me! Sooo lemme just-a betray you before you betray me! Ya get it?

Thunder-Thighs: Why are you teleporting us away? Why not just kill us, villain!

Machinatia: Yeeeah, no! That would never work-a in the long run! I've read comic books: you super-heroes cannot stay dead to save your life-a!

Blue Lamp: Hey! I only died 4 progressively-less-impactful times!

In the Figure Dimension, the banished Superheroes and (remorseful) Sidekicks reconcile before they all freeze into stasis.

Machinatia has won and is free to make the world she now rules into a Totalitarism, while taking all the other supervillains and putting them in Los Angeles where she allows them to do any crime they want, thus ensuring that the supervillains are content with her rule and don't go Evil vs. Evil on her.

Machinatia: It's just L.A.! Nothing of value will be lost-a!

However, a few villains follow the "Evil cannot exist without Good" philosophy and go rescue the frozen Superheroes and Sidekicks.

The Superheroes all confront Empress Machinatia and the Sneaky Eyes, but she has a plan: "Plan B: Fly Me to the Moon". With some powerful Magnet Towers, Machinatia pulls the Moon closer to Earth basically turning into a giant meteorite directed towards the Earth. Like Machinatia planned, most of the heroes and sidekicks go to stop the Moon from destroying the Earth, and only a few are left to fight Machinatia, who turns out to be a genuine beast in combat and her minions.

After killing the superheroes left on Earth to fight her, she would wait for the rest of the heroes to succeed in saving the Earth from the Moon before nuking them with space missiles while they're still in space.

After a fight, Good-Boy luckily manages to defeat Machinatia by damaging her teleporting device, causing it to glitch and teleport Machinatia and her minions away to God-Knows-where (definitely not on Earth, that's for sure).

The day is saved, the Moon is back in its place, the heroes and sidekicks are popular again and the people of Earth learned that you shouldn't root for someone horrible just because they're cool or hot.

However, Machinatia and her organization got such a stronghold on all aspects of Earth (bureocracy, economy, politics, etc.) that there's no easy "Undo tyranny button" in sight for the heroes. The solution? Copy-Cat disguises herself as Machinatia and, now ruling the world, spends 3 whole years undoing Machinatia's tyranny. Things are back to normal again.

The last scene of the story, however, takes place in some bizarre alien world where Machinatia and her minions are having tea with some alien royals, with Machinatia politely asking the royals if they have any interests in conquering other planets. She breaks the 4th wall, winks at the camera and the story is over.

Is She Magnificent?!

Yes. She's Laughably Evil and quippy, Wicked Cultured and stylish, very Genre Savvy and her whole plan in the story is all about weaponizing Evil Is Cool and Rooting for the Empire (again, she has a medieval sword made of hardlight that she can turn into an electric guitar as she sings her Villain Song).

Even if she failed at all her attempts to take over the World in the past, we don't see it onscreen and we're told she always came close, and her On-screen plan across the story (which she has been organizing for decades with sneaky planning) goes swimmingly, managing to win the Sidekicks and most people to her side, and the heroes would have been frozen forever and the world would have been hers also forever if not because a small group of Supervillains were too philosophy-driven to accept the world she had created.

Even then, it takes the heroes 3 years (of pretending to be her) to undo Machinatia's iron fist on the world, and she ends the story a Karma Houdini cooking up a new plan with some aliens she has befriended.

While Faux Affably Evil through and through, she also is pragmatic enough to treat his minions well and they all respect her loyally in turn.

Is She a Bitch? Too Much?!

She is Card-Carryingly Evil and planned to take over the world by making people believe Evil was Cool, while also trying to freeze and later kill the heroes and the sidekicks to get her out of her way, not to mention she left L.A. at the mercy of the Supervillains and, to hinder the heroes, she endangered the Earth by almost crashing the Moon into it.

However, her tyrannical dominion on Earth isn't explored enough on-screen to be a detractingly horrifying distopia, her throwing L.A. to the wolves is treated too much like a jokey Take That! to Hollywood to be that shocking and she endangered the World with the Moon, but was confident the heroes would succeed in preventing that (and they did).

She is not too vile, basically, and if the Complete Monster page image guy is in the same universe as her (gotta think about that) then she fails the Heinous Standard to him, which helps.

Verdict!

KoshaVinka.

Time to submit a Magnificent Bitch (I put way more thought into this than I needed to).

What's the work?

The Big Bang Theory is a CBS sitcom written by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady. It follows a group of nerds living their day to day lives. With 279 episodes spanning across twelve seasons, TBBT is the longest running live-action sitcom of all time. You'd think that one of those nerds would be our subject today, but our real focus is the Magnificent Bitch of a mother one of those nerds has.

Who is Beverly Hofstadter? What does she do?

Beverly Hofstadter, M.D. is the mother of main character Leonard Hofstadter, and a renowned child psychologist. Her most accomplished works, such as Needy Baby, Greedy Baby and The Disappointing Child, used Leonard as a test subject, at the expense of his mental well being.

Is she magnificent?

Beverly is a highly intelligent and well respected woman within her fields of neurobiology and psychology, and her theories are certainly popular among scientists. Her well spoken mannerisms manage to charm the comically uptight Sheldon (who wishes he had her for a mother) and the layman Penny (who she considers to be the favorite among her children's spouses), and she genuinely cares about them fondly. It appears that her choice to raise Leonard using cold, hard logic was done out of genuine interest in his future successes. Get enough alcohol in her system, and she begins to show some human emotion, too.

Is she a bitch? Too much of one?

It is very obvious that Leonard is not the favorite child, and Beverly has quite brazenly admitted to his face that she likes Leonard's sister and brother more than him. Deliberately using her son as a vehicle for her psychological studies has some pretty negative effects on him. In Season 12 Ep. 16, upon seeing Sheldon and Raj experiment with Howard's children, Leonard has a PTSD flashback to his own childhood. When Leonard confronts his mother to find out if his entire childhood was an elaborate experiment, Beverly admits that his childhood wasn't one big experiment, but rather "thousands of small experiments." Such "small experiments" include (but aren't limited to) putting Leonard into the control group of an experiment disguised as a summer camp trip. Beverly gets quite narcissistically offended when she finds out she wasn’t invited to Leonard and Penny's wedding, despite the fact that she didn’t even invite Leonard to her 60th birthday party. Despite this, her genuine (albeit somewhat begrudging) compassion towards her son and the people in her life keep her from being too much of a bitch.

Final Verdict?

Bazinga.

Here's an MB thread.

What is the work?

The Loud House is a crime show... don't believe me? It had multiple Mystery Episodes, so that makes it a crime show, doesn't it?

Who is the character?

Charles is the leader of a gang, occasionally seen coming up with schemes alongside his associates Cliff, Geo, and Walt. Oh, and also, he's a dog. And not an anthropomorphic one, at least for the most part. But that's not important... is it?

Is he magnificent?

Well, the Loud family is commonly seen fawning over him, and in one episode, they cried when he and his associates were unaccounted for. He's also pretty cute in his design.

Is he a bastard?

He bites Lynn Sr.'s butt at one point... wait, what do you mean he only did that because there was bacon on his butt?! Well, he's mostly pit bull terrier, and everyone knows those dogs are bad news... right? Okay, maybe not all pit bull terriers are bad news, but he pooped on the couch... hold on, what do you mean that was only in Lincoln's imagination!?

Is he intelligent? Does he think on his paws?

There was that short where he and the others got rid of the vacuum cleaner, and they kept trying after several failed attempts, so I'd say yes.

Verdict

Woof woof!

For every low there is a high.

For the MBs, to Machinatia (not BoH at all), Beverly (very charming and very charismatic), and Charles.

For the CMs, to Friar Tuck (taken very seriously) and to TV Tropes.

to TV Tropes. Can confirm it did ruin my life. My hatred is personal.

Anyone here proposed Peter Griffin as a CM yet?

You've been kicked out of the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. :(

Not yet, but he's probably long overdue.
