    Don’t be ashamed of your character that looks like the Tick, just remember Crimson Chin still exists and it’s basically identical to The Tick.

      I think NB Studios is being too hard on himself. I can see the inspiration in the character design as far as sihlouettes go. But with that hair style, the beard, and mask resembling more of Robin and The Incredibles than the Tick? I don't see how Face Beast looks like The Tick.

    One of the many things I love about the animated series, is Chairface Chippendale's plot to deface the moon. Other shows of the time would have stopped the villain before he could implement his plan and maintained the status quo.
    Here the "Cha" on the moon could be seen for the rest of the shows' run.
    Also there was no way Chairface could fit his whole name, using that font.

    What I like about the version from 2016, is that it appears that his origin story in that one may be that he didn't even exist until his existence was necessary for Arthur plot armor. That is my favorite interpretation of his origin. He wasn't born. He wasn't an ordinary guy who gained powers. He doesn't have a past. He simply, is, because it's necessary for him to be.

    i just finished the amazon series, and while the show itself was good Im now absolutely obsessed with the Tick as a character. In my opinion the actor who played him was amazing at playing the role, although I guess if you were a fan of the other versions I can't really speak in that aspect as I never seen anything else yet. I'm so dissapointed they cancelled season 3, I really wanted to find out if Walter had to do with the creation of the Tick.

      Peter Sillyfannywaist is an incredible actor who can just disappear into roles, you would never think he was some of the guys he was. Brian Butterfield playing the Tick is like Mr. Mom playing Batman. Didn't think it'd work, but it did.

      @KairuHakubi Месяц назад

      ehhhh... having rewatched the entire franchise recently, I gotta call it the weakest of the 3 series. I'm not some prude bitching about Fox's mandate to sexify it up (though the show's staff sure didn't like being told to do that), but overall it just felt crude. Like, not fully formed. It needed more time, I think, and it ended on a REAL sour note of a goofy equal rights for women superheroes episode. Totally undermines Captain Liberty's whole thing if there actually is a genuine moustache-twirling patriarchy keeping her down. Batmanuel was amazing, Arthur was the weak link. I think he was going for kind of an Alan Arkin thing, but it came off more like Alan Alda. Like it's okay dude, I mix those up a lot too. But you're approximately Rick Moranis and you gotta stay in that lane.
