Why not share your anime concerns on the anime thread? This is for Western Animation you see.

Basically, Cartoon Network should stop showing re-runs of Pokemon: XY on weekday mornings (They're aired around 7 AM!) and do it on weekday afternoons instead. That way, viewers will get a better grasp of the show.

Also, if Ash and other Pokemon characters were in CN City, what would it be like?

I wish CN had gone back to showing action cartoons on weekday evenings again, but they're getting satisfactory ratings showing their own original comedies in those time slots to change that.

You know how in there's usually a depiction of CN villains being an alliance and Aku is often the leader? Well, where would the Lich fit in that organization? And what would be his relationship with the other villains?

Since the Lich is meant to never act humorously, he would be that guy that creeps out even the other villains. Though i could imagine him getting along well with... Him.

Nibiru and the Lich would probably make for a better contrast than Aku and the Lich.

[up][up][up] The Lich would be like the rogue rival to Aku. He seeks to overthrow Aku as the leader of the villains, but the other villains won't accept him because he's that terrifying.

I bet this is what some major CN villains would say about the Lich:

Aku: I despise that shambling hunk of rotting flesh from the very bottom of my cold and black heart! He sees me as a joke and preforms evil deeds that are vile, even to me!

Mojo Jojo: Ugh, do not mention the Lich in front of me! For I hate him! Hate him as much as those accursed Powerpuff Girls! He is also pure evil! Evil in a disgusting and unpleasant way and not in a good and classy way!

HIM: *laughs* The Lich is the most DELIGHTFULLY evil thing I've ever seen! Just the way he slaughtered Finn's precious idol! Such cruelty! Such malice! In fact, *evil voice* we even hang out for tea every once in a while! *laughs*

Mandark: No, please! Anyone but the Lich! I'll work with anyone to destroy Dexter but please, ANYONE BUT HIM!!!

The Delightful Children from Down the Lane: We do not like the Lich. He is much older than any adult and his appearance is quite unnerving.

Vilgax: The Lich is a simple-minded fool who believes all life is meaningless. Why destroy everything when you can use it for infinite power?

Dr. Kamikaze: The Lich is far worse than even Robotboy himself! He even flayed someone and wore his skin as a disguise! NO ONE SHOULD BE THAT EVIL! IT'S DISGUSTING! H-He's not here is he?! CONSTANTINE!!!!! SAVE ME!!!!!

Peridot: Just what IS that monstrosity anyway?! How could something be deceased yet function as if alive?! It shouldn't even exist!

And that's what the other villains would say about the Lich. He'd be the CN universe's equivalent of the Red Skull. Feared and hated by the other villains.

Thank you. My personal favorite has to be Aku's quote, since it perfectly encapsulates what he'd think of the Lich.

[up]I know that Peridot's not a villain anymore. I just wanted to give out what she'd say about the Lich.

And of course, the Lich would also be universally hated by heroes. Probably the ones that would hate him the most are Jack, Grim, the Crystal Gems, and Ash Ketchum.

Eh, Peridot was a villain for most of the series (and even then, we still don't know everything about her motives), so I'd say it's still valid. Let's not nitpick at idle speculation about things that will literally never happen.

Insert witty 'n clever quip here.

Here's some quotes from the mentioned heroes on the Lich!

Jack: When I looked past its decaying exterior and into its empty eyes, I found nothing. Not a shred of honor, morality, or anything good whatsoever. This Lich is nothing more than pure evil. An evil possibly greater than even Aku himself.

Grim: Oh, how I hate that Lich, mon! He goes around destroying everything, all because of some stupid agenda about life being meaningless! Heck, he even killed some of the souls I was just about to reap!

Steven: That Lich guy...he's so scary. I don't even wanna fight him.
Garnet: The Lich is an absolute monster, with only one purpose to exist: total destruction.
Amethyst: Alright, let's not talk about that freak! Just looking at him gives me the creeps!
Pearl: Sweet Heavens! That Lich is the most horrifying creature I've ever seen!

Ash: [growls angrily] I've never seen something so heartless and cruel! Out of all the villains I've faced, the Lich is the absolute WORST!
Pikachu: Pika! Pika! Pika!
Serena: I've never thought there'd be anyone worse than Team Rocket! It's so evil and terrible it's unreal!
Clemont: How can that thing be technically dead yet function as alive?! There has to be a scientific explanation on how that works!
Bonnie: OHHHH! That thing is so scary!!!
Dedenne: Dene! Denaynay!

Pretty much everyone would be scared of/hate the Lich.

[up] That is really nice "what-if" dialogue you got going there for both the heroes and villains.

Though it is weird that you used Peridot instead of, say, Jasper.

superboy313 Since: May, 2015
#244: Nov 26th 2015 at 3:47:02 PM

[up]Meh, I bet Jasper's seen some pretty scary things. The Lich should be no different.

Considering that Ash's quote has the most vitriol of the heroes, it shouldn't be too hard for the Lich to make a Moral Event Horizon-crossing action that sends Ash into a fit of rage.

I was about to groan because of yet another Pokemon Crossover...but I remembered. Hunter J REALLY pissed off Ash. She got him the most mad I have ever seen him. You may be onto something.

For a second I thought your post implied that Pokemon crossed over with Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas at one point. That'd be trippy.

[up][up]So what exactly did J do to make Ash flip his shit? I haven't seen Diamond and Pearl and ages so refresh my memory. Also, did Ash scream "You Monster!"?

[up]I don't know to much about Hunter J but I do know enough about to Ash to deduce that she likely did something really bad to Pokemon or her human subordinates (keeping them on electric collars or something worse would likely do it). Ash is after all a Friend to All Living Things. Someone like Hunter J or the Lich would rub him in all the wrong ways.

Mind you this is the kid that made friends with a rather cold trainer named Paul who would abandon weak Pokemon with no remorse (although he was never as bad as Damion who managed to piss off Brock out of all people).

Anyways, which channel had the better shows in the mid-2000's? Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon?
