Line #24 Creator/TheGreenScorpion


1	Oscar Duarte is an American-Honduran Website/YouTube producer otherwise known as "The Green Scorpion", as in, Franchise/MortalKombat's Scorpion colored green (but totally not Reptile). He's one of the more known VideoGame [[TopTenList countdown makers]], similar to Creator/TheQuarterGuy, Creator/JoshScorcher and Creator/TheAutarch, who also occasionally does Let's Plays, he's more known for his analytical commentaries on the things he reviewed. Oh, and musical knowledge too, since he also plays piano in spare time. His biggest projects are usually the 'Weapons Month', where he dedicated one month at random basis to create countdown based on Weapon of Choice.

5	!Oscar's works contains example of:
6	* AuthorAppeal: ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' and ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' have a lot of prevalence in Oscar's videos given how much he likes them.
7	* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Green Scorpion's style in his countdowns isn't just mentioning his favorites, but also breaking down an analysis why the entry fits the theme of the video greatly. Every metaphors about the subject of his countdown is going to be explored greatly.
8	* BerserkButton: Quite downplayed. There is one thing that can set Oscar off: '''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemFates Corrin]]'''. Ask about his opinion on them and Oscar can respond as if he's channeling ThePowerOfHate, saying that he 'dislikes' Corrin is a great {{Understatement}}. ''Fates''' controversial storytelling and characterizations kind of rubbed him in the wrongest way possible. However, Oscar will ''not'' insult others for liking Corrin on their own and in fact applaud them for having their own opinion.
9	* TheCameo: Creator/TheQuarterGuy popped up occasionally in his videos, and Oscar has also sometimes participated in Adam's League of [=LOLs=].
10	* DeathGlare: On the receiving end of one from a ''very'' furious Aramau over Oscar lying in previous countdowns involving [[spoiler:Sissel and the plot twist of ''[[VideoGame/GhostTrick Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective]]]]'' during the “Top 10 Video Game Cats” countdown. It’s scary enough to freak him out.
11	* TheDon: "Top Ten Video Game Crime Bosses", to which he introduces as "Don Scorpenio".
12	* GameBreakingInjury: Well, not his, but his laptop where he does all the editing was once busted and forced him to make a hiatus announcement video via his cellphone. He's since returned.
13	* HappilyMarried: [[https://twitter.com/GreenScorpion64/status/1419414398632873986 As of July 25, 2021, Oscar has been married to Ignis Animations, his collab partner from Top Ten Video Game Merfolk.]]
14	* HasAType: Oscar has a thing for {{Tomboy}}s, with all girls on Top Ten Waifus having at least one tomboy trait.
15	* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: Speaks in perfectly normal American accent, in spite of his Spanish heritage.
16	** Double-subverted during his Vampires countdown. He went all the way to create a faux-Romanian accent to go 'all Van Helsing' with the topic of vampires... Only to drop it completely after a few seconds due to how tough it is.
17	* LargeHam: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLWf_qlO3xg Top Fifteen Edgelords in Video Games]] gave us this gem: [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments I WAS MADE]] [[SuddenlyShouting IN A LAAAAAAAB]]
18	** The ending to his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAmX0YuLq1A&index=78&list=WL Top Ten Video Game Berserkers]] certainly counts. Crosses over into [[SugarWiki/MomentofAwesome awesome]] really fast.
19	* PaletteSwap: His icon is a green-colored [[Franchise/MortalKombat Scorpion]]. Totally not Reptile, honest!
20	* PlayTheGameSkipTheStory: Invoked when it comes to his Five Minutes Reflection of ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates''. Oscar praises the gameplay improvements of the game and finds enjoyment in the game mechanics... but he ''absolutely'' hates the Fates' storyline and a good deal of its characters (he still finds some enjoyment to some characters, though he ''especially'' hates Corrin) that he'd rather just ignore the story altogether.
21	* ThePowerOfHate: Oscar ends his "Top Ten Video Game Berserkers" video by acknowledging that anger can be used to perform great acts of good by identifying the source of your anger and stopping it.
22	* RecordScratch: The music cuts out during "Top Ten Mech Pilots" when he realizes that Bentley from the ''VideoGame/SlyCooper'' series counts for the list.
23	* RedOniBlueOni: He's often partnered with Creator/TheQuarterGuy, and their works, when they are dealing with the same topic (like their Vampire countdowns) show this dynamic with Green Scorpion being the Blue Oni, utilizing a lot of AwesomenessByAnalysis and while he does have his own bias, he mostly kept it in check, hence when he picked Dracula for the top Vampires, he explains how much Dracula symbolizes the vampire motif (which is fascinating to him) to fit. For Quarter Guy's case as the Red Oni, see his article.
24	* RunningGag: Is there a Weapons Month countdown? Bet your ass that there'll be at least one ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' champion. Only averted in the Painter countdown, and he's not pleased about it.
25	** When he brings up a MonsterClown in his countdowns, he always brings up his golden rule: "never trust the clown".
26	* ScaryScorpions: Subverted. Scorpions in general plays a big theme on him, his mascot is [[Franchise/MortalKombat Scorpion]] (painted green), he made an April's Fools video about Top 10 Video Game Scorpions, he ended up breaking the rule of his preference of ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' over ''VideoGame/{{Dota 2}}'' in the Top 10 Geomancers list by putting Sand King above Taric, because the former took form of a scorpion and was the reason he played that hero (and speaking of which, Skarner made it as one of his most favored League champs). Green Scorpion himself? He's a friendly dude, not at all scary.
27	* {{Sidekick}}: The [=ComicFoil=], his 'neighbor' and co-scriptwriter, who also makes a cameo at his video at times or do Let's Plays together with him
28	* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: A lot of friendly dudes have teased him that his 'waifu' are either [[VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends Caitlyn]], [[Franchise/StreetFighter Ibuki]], or [[Franchise/FireEmblem Lyndis]]. Oscar kept denying those... even if Caitlyn ranked top as his most favorite champions, Lyndis is his chosen second best sword user... Although finally averted when he released his own 'Top 10 Video Game Waifu', whereas Lyndis is on the top spot (though Caitlyn was somehow nowhere in sight, but more likely because he doesn't want to oversaturate his contents with ''League of Legends'' contents)
29	* TopTenList: His main draw.
30	* {{Tsundere}}: Best exemplified in his opinions on [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Gangrel]]. He ranks as Oscar's least favorite character in the whole franchise and threw nothing but venom at him... but then admits that [[spoiler:his redemption arc is well done and his LoveConfession is one of the best there is and his most redeeming quality]] that he can't hate him. [[spoiler:It's even his #2 most favorite confession!]]
31	* WeaponSpecialization: The premise behind his Weapons Month project.
