Skipper vs. the metric system

'Skipper Makes Perfect' out of context

I’m curious!! S3 includes the unaired Nicktoons ones btw!!

Madagascar Party Day 1: Penguins!

Some say they're still smiling and waving to this very day...

HOLY SHIT I DIDNT KNOW DR BLOWHOLE WAS VOICED BY NPH,,,,, i need to do a rewatch

hahaha yes he is!!!!!! what a fantastic revelation eh? 🙈💖 here, have a listen!!!

don't worry about not catching that it's NPH though - he has some funky voice modulation going on!! i can't tell if he's just been pitched up a bit, or if he's also been sped up...and i'd also love to know how he managed that crazy dolphin-laugh, and the little dolphin-trills on certain parts of his speech!! such a phenomenally talented actor 🔥💖 i think it's also that NPH has some very distinct vocal inflections in how he talks, and his voice is also very...clean, if that makes sense? like his diction is so smooth and his accent kind of plays second fiddle to the way he talks...if you go listen to some of his Count Olaf or Music Meister and then listen to Dr Blowhole directly after, you can hear it 😉

[EDIT] oh my god also, how could i forget about both of his songs?!

I JUST. FINISHED A SCIENTIFIC CONUNDRUM and oh my god. I'm going to need at least three business days to recover from that last chapter. THAT WAS INSANELY GOOD i dont even know where to begin?? 😭 especially the "I Will Be There" from the Count of Monte Cristo part had me screaming ahahah and the part with Skipper? are you kidding mmeeeeeee😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 im going to go cry now. it was beautiful.

Thank you! I actually went back and forth a bit on that Monte Cristo part of it would be too cheesy, so I’m glad I did ultimately decide to go with it 😁

But oh wow you’re nearly all caught up since book 3 is just beginning.

(For others, links about this can be seen on my fan art/fic sideblog @gwens-projects )

Guys? Do you remember that Madagascar had their own game? So I came with few screenshots from this game to show funny/nice aspects from my fave childhood game.

We have penguins on fishing 

We have minigames in arcade machines

How Skipper looks like in this game

Boy looking up to sky looking for stars

Mason and Phil but quality dropped

What are you holding?

Spooky scary flying flashlight

All of them comes from levels “King of New York” and “Marty’s Escape”

Happy Julianuary!!

Yorha → Penguins

Yorha's uniform is black and white

→Penguins are also penguins, so their uniforms are black and white.

Anthropomorphic Penguins x NieR series

crossover😊

It's a ridiculous crossover: ......

''Anybody whose last name doesn't end in -OWALSKI 👀 have any options?''

I’m trying to think of a human au/explanation while watching Tangled in the Web and I’m just laughing 😂 like imagining Private just being so adorable and cute that the internet goes crazy about him. It’s a superpower! And the boys are worried about their secrecy being outed loll

TPoM fandom, lost media peeps, can we possibly come together and try to find this?

This is somewhat of a follow-up to a post I made a while back about the villains throughout the franchise, but in any case I think it's interesting how we have such a wide array of villain archetypes throughout the franchise.

In the films we start out with the fossa as the first main villain, though they don't have much of a personality. The film is very much a fish-out-of-water/man vs. nature type of story, with the main conflict being Alex's reaction to his newfound freedom in the wild. The fossa reflect this, with them still being the antagonist but less-so a straight up villain, since they're meant to reflect the "nature" in this story. As the films go on we progress more and more into actual villain territory. We have Makunga (and Nana) in the second film, DuBois in the third film, and finally Dave in the Penguins film. As you can see, we quickly went from the antagonist pretty much just being nature all the way to the antagonist being your stereotypical evil villain who wants to take over the world (or at least just get revenge on all penguins). Each subsequent film was trying to raise the stakes and one-up the previous films, which meant that the villains became more and more over-the-top.

Even the shows have villains that uniquely suit the story they're trying to tell. As I touched upon in the post I mentioned at the top, the villains in The Penguins of Madagascar are more of the straight-up-evil villain type. Characters like Dr. Blowhole, Hans, and The Red Squirrel are made to pay homage to villains from classic spy films (like Blofeld), who's sole desire is to get revenge/take over the world. The same goes for other antagonists throughout the series, like Clemson, the Rat King, and the Blue Hen. While their appearances may not necessarily be as overt as the previously mentioned three, they're motivations are still pretty much the same.

The villains in All Hail King Julien were somewhat upgraded to reflect the villains of the mid-late 2010s vs those of the mid-late 2000s. They have more complex motivations and somewhat understandable backstories, but still ultimately fall back into stereotypical villain territory. We have plenty of evil relatives as antagonists throughout the franchise, from Uncle King Julien to Bruce to Grandpa Mort, with Crimson even embodying the evil twin archetype. Unlike most of the villains from TPOM, these villains are given backstories to explain their evil-doing, and they're even allowed to grow and develop at times, but at the end of the day they still just become recurring evil villains with a scheme of the week for the protagonists to over come.

Then comes Madagascar: A Little Wild, which doesn't have actual villains for the most part. Most episodes revolve around the characters overcoming an emotional conflict, and a physical villain becomes unnecessary. There are a few exceptions, however. For example, in the episode A Roar Is Born we get Harley Hooves, who's a sort of "never meet your heroes" type of villain. He's someone who Alex looked up to, someone who even played a superhero in a movie, but ended up being the opposite - someone who was self-centered and would do whatever it takes to be the only one in the spotlight. Unlike TPOM and even AHKJ, the few villains they do have aren't relegated to those being largely incapable of change; instead, characters like Harley Hooves are able to learn and grow in the space of a single episode, which suits the type of story this show in particular was trying to tell.

But overall, villains don't have to be complex to be interesting. For instance, a one-note character like Clemson might be more interesting just because they're charismatic and fun to watch carry out their evil schemes. Either way, though, it is interesting looking back and seeing how the villains have evolved to suit the needs of the franchise at the time.
