Pink = Evil: NEW!
Allright, everybody knows what Daemon looks like now. She's got pink skin. And she's an evil super/chron virus. Kinda. Now, you must also know that Mainframe Entertainment also recently released the OVA/direct to video of the Nutcracker, starring Barbie and her eunuch boyfriend Ken (kiddies, if you don't know what means,
don't worry about it). We know that Barbie is an evil tool used by media and society to trick innocent girls into believing that beauty consisted of blond hair, blue eyes, and a giant bust. NOW, there's a point to this somewhere, I just have to find it... Ah, here it is: the color pink is an eeeeeevil color. Daemon is evil, in a childlike fashion, and Barbie...is well, we KNOW she's an
evil bitch with a DD cup, k? Therefore, pink = EVIL. ^_^
Pizzaface:
No one seems to have any! (Scars, missing eyes, and tatooos don't count). Makes me mad...
Now, I don't mind that Matrix's skin is perfectly flawless, besides his scar, of course, but think a minute here. He and AndrAIa lost their childhoods to the games, growing up faster than they should have. Does that mean they went through purbity really fast? If they did, I would imagine both of them would have gotten a couple of zits. Maybe they bought some *really* good acne medicine...
Tattoos Always Involve Alcohol:
Matrix - He got really, REALLY drunk one night while AndrAIa was shopping or something. He wandered down to the local tattoo parlor... "I told you to stop bar hopping! But at least it adds to your renegade appearence..."
Dot - She was drowning her sorriws in I-O shots (provided by Mouse, of course), and when she finally woke up the next morning, it was there... "Mouse!!!" "I was just tryin' to cheer ya up, sugah!"
Mouse - Well, I know she had hers long before anyone else, but who cares. At first, I though she just had some wierd scars. Anyway, I imagine when she was in her teens, Mouse walked by a tattoo parlor and thought, Hey, that looks like fun!. She quickly found out it hurts like hell (I wouldn't know, of course ^_^). She probably made her parents very mad...
Bob - In two different episodes, "When Games Collide" and "Indentity Crisis: Part I," Bob reboots into an army-type game character wearing vests. If you look carefully, you can see a tattoo of a laughing skull on his left bicep. *drools*
The others - I have no idea about Ray. AndrAIa? If she has one, only Matrix must know about it. Maybe it's in a... sensitive area. As for everyone else, they're either too young, a dog, or skinless (I think).
Let's Go to the Salon:
Everyone's hair is alwyas so perfect. Even Bob's, as strange as it looks.
Bob: What's wrong with my hair?
LS: Nothing. It looks fine.
Bob: (looks doubtful) Really?
LS: Yes.
Bob: Realy?
LS: Yes!
Bob: Are you sure? I've got to keep up that cool guy image, you know.
LS: (rolls her eyes) YES! It looks fine!
Bob: (holds up his hands defensively)Okay, okay...
LS: Now, where was I? Oh, yeah. It makes me mad that everyone hair is always perfect. Nothing out of place.
Bob: What about Phong?
LS: Does he even have hair?
Bob: Just two, I think.
LS: Well, then, he doesn't count. (thinks for a moment) What about Megabyte?
Bob: What about him?
LS: (groans) That red crest thing! Is that hair?
Bob: (shrugs his shoulders) How should I know?
LS: You're a Guardian! Aren't you supposed to know these things?
Bob: (looks somewhat confused) Um... I don't think so...
LS: What about Hex?
Bob: (shudders) I don't want to go there.
LS: Good idea.
Well that ends that strange discussion.
Now, AndrAIa's hair. It's just like a big chunk of blue-green stuff, with those little bangs and trendils. And Mouse? What is that stuff? Staticy, orange, glow-in-the-dark stuff? That's the only way I can describe it. Ray and seems to have the most normal hair, since it's brownish and of a normal cut.
Why Do I Talk So Funny?:
Now, where did those come from? As far as I know, there's no Austrailia, France,Texas, or The South anywhere in the Net or the Web. I don't mind Turbo's or Ray's accents (though I'm a proud Texan and I don't sound anything like that; well, not really, and I love Ray's accent) but sometimes Mouse's accent is so aggravating and hard to understand it drives me insane! Maybe the people at Mainframe Ent. did it just to infuriate me. MAYBE it's all just a big conspiracy...
Lady Sita looks up from her computer to see to large guys in black suits standing over her. They grab her arms and began to drag her away. "Nooooo! I didn't mean it! It's just a joke..."
Lady Sita returns the next day... Whew! I'm glad that's over with. But at least I got to see Vancover. Now what was I talking about? Conspiracies... She trails off and looks around suspiciously. Um, I think I'll just stop talking about that. The strange looking UPS van outside her house pulls away...
I have to whisper now. They, they are listening. I just realized I forgot compeletly about Cecil. His accent just drives me insane! Sometimes I just want to scream at the TV screen, 'Stop talking like that!!!' (looks around suspiciously) I have to go now. They're watching me... through my computer...
Whew! Finally got those federal agents off my tail... Now, I wanna know, *why* do the writers of ReBoot decide for certain characters to have accents? To add some flavor? To annoy us? To drive us (or just mainly me) insane trying to figure the whole thing? I don't know!!! *screams in either frustration or insanity; she can't decide*
Spandex is Wonderful:
Everyone's and I mean everyone's clothing is skin-tight. Especially Matrix. I think he would be less grumpy if AndrAIa loosened his pants for him. Not that I'm complaining, anyway. ;) The closest thing I've seen to loose clothing is Hex's cape-thingy. I think that it would be just to hard to draw clothing that moved. Have you ever seen Max Steel, on the Kid's WB? It's a one of the many computer-animated shows emerging. It is done pretty well (but it doesn't beat ReBoot, of course), and the chatacters have loose clothing. But it just looks strange, because the clothes move funny and have a roundish shape.
They All Live in Sin:
Well, what do they do in Mainframe? Do couples even get married? Yes, I know people write wedding ceremonies into their fics. Even *I* did. But would they really do that? Sure, we'd all love to see Bob and Dot or Matrix and AndrAIa get married in the upcoming movies or Season IV. My take on this: they can get married once they are of a legal age, but they don't have, even if they have a child. It would their choice. But then there's the whole having-a-child-thing. Now, that brings up the whole sex thing. Most religions of our world condone premarital sex. Since the Mainframers seem to have no established religion, I suppose they don't have that problem. *shrugs* See Religion.
Phong and Cecil:
What in the Net are they? Sprite? Binome? Combination? Let's take a look at Phong: He's made of metal; a binome quality. He has wheels instead of legs, like a bot(like Hack or Slash), perhaps? He can stretch out his arms and neck past a normal length; bot? He can move his eyebrows and mouth; binome and sprite. He has two eyes; zero-binome and sprite. My conclusion: Phong is an earlier version of a sprite. Now, Cecil: He no legs or wheels whatsoever; he's hooked to the ceiling of Dot's Diner and kinda zips around; no idea. He's mostly made of metal; binome/bot. He has arms; binome. He has a digital screen for a face; no idea. My conclusion: he's some kind of bot that was formatted for a hosting function.
Oh my User!:
Are the Mainframers, or for that matter, anyone on the show religious? I think Phong might be the slightest bit religious, with all the quotes he keep spurting out. But would they worship the User, since he/she/it sends down games, yet also sends upgrades. In several fics, including my own, characters have been known to mutter "User-spam it" or "Oh my User", User replacing God. It makes you think... If the User is God, then who is the Messiah/Savior/Jesus/Whatever? Would that be Bob, since he has to save the Net and everything? Boy, this is confusing...
Hot Pants:
I am sure many of the other ReBoot fans, especially the females, have... noticed Matrix's pants. I'm not exactly sure why he wears them like that, but, I'm sure his pants are part the reason he's so grumpy all the time. Well, would't you be? I wouldn't, but that's because I'm a girl and I wear tight stuff all the time. ANYWAY, I think the question we all want answered is simply why? Maybe it'll be answered in the new moives...
The Earless Wonder:
Ray may look pretty human... with that skin and hair of his. But... what happpened to his ears? Doesn't he have any? How does he hear? And then there's his goggles... He's been in about six episodes, but we've yet to see him take them off. Is he perhaps blind, like that guy on Star Trek, and need them to see? My take on this is that his eyes were damaged by the Web, and now he has to wear those to protect them. But if you look at the side of his head, the edges of the goggles stick out kinda funny, and take place of his ears. It's just wierd, you know?
