Jatta Pake Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 My take on the non-Toad contenders: Gideon - Give me a break. He's too obscure, too 90s, too Leifield, and has nothing to offer as a part of the Thor/Gambit/Deadpool/Kang legacy. He fought the X-Force, big woop. Selene killed him. Squirrel Girl - A joke concept character would be a joke Minimate. Besides, we already have Ambush Bug and Headpool. No need to sour the Legacy with a joke only diehard Avengers fans get. And I hate squirrels. Rocket Racoon - I don't hate Racoons but I hate one hit wonders rehashed for new audiences. C'mon! He never appeared in comics from 1985 to 2007 except for a She-Hulk cameo. Rocket Racoon is only famous because of Annihilus, who is far more deserving of Minimatehood. Falcon - I could support this sidekick if his super power wasn't so absolutely lame. Seriously? You know Cap was only buddies with him because he flew Cap around. Yes, Falcon is the first African American marvel superhero. And yes, he needs to be Minimated as part of Marvel history. But Falcon is mentally fused with a bird! I would consider Falcon a serious contender for Minimatehood if not for another: Toad! He is part of Minimates history and has been promised to us since the very first Minimates poster. He pre-dates all other contenders, having been created in 1964, and was the first introduction to an entire brotherhood of evil mutants to oppose the X-men. Toad has pop culture reference with Mainstream having been memorably portrayed by Ray Park (Darth Maul, Snake Eyes!!!) in the first X-men movie. So you all lose and Toad wins.

You obviously forgot Winter Soldier in that line-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 And Batroc the Leaper. Which is understandable, considering he,s just a human and still can do more leaping than Toad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jatta Pake Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Also: Winter Soldier - He's freakin Bucky. You just can't live down being a teen side kick no matter what they change your name to (Nightwing) or how many times they retcon your history. He's clearly weak willed having been brainwashed by Commies who couldn't even save their own empire from collapse in the early nineties. Who's his nemesis supposed to be? Summer Civilian? At least get a cool assassin name like Death Arm or something. Bucky should have been left to RIP. Batroc the Leaper - He's a contender like Falcon but still carries baggage from his days as a comical adversary to Cap. He's gotten more bad ass recently but he has one overwhelming flaw: he's French. Americans just cannot take any villian seriously who talks like Inspector Jacques Clouseau from the Pink Panther. If you want a Minimate who leaps around like a frog, you need Toad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 Toad! He is part of Minimates history and has been promised to us since the very first Minimates poster. Toad was not promoted on the first Minimate poster. He was on there to show how horrible a Toad Minimate would be. That must be the obvious reason why they would show him 9 years ago and have decided 47 waves and countless exclusives later to still not be making him. To me, it's a no-brainer to pick between a cute girl with a bushy tail and a long tongued janitor. Not even a contest. And Batroc the Leaper. Which is understandable, considering he,s just a human and still can do more leaping than Toad. Yes, but Batroc the Leaper doesn't do more toading than Toad. It's really a draw as to which one sucks more, but the deciding factor should be the fact that French characters should never get Minimates made of them.

hellpop Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Why don't you Toad and Batroc guys team up like we Rocket Raccooners are trying to do with the Squirrel Girl-ettes? That would be a two-pack to... wait for it... jump for joy about! So, for wave 50: Rocket Raccoon/ Squirrel Girl Toad/Batroc Falcon/Baron Zemo Winter Soldier/Dragon Man (yes, I just randomly decided on Dragon Man to fill out the wave) Gold Gideon's the super-rare chase. And no, he doesn't come with feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jatta Pake Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Toadies will never join forces with Leapers. The Multiverse just isn't big enough for two hopping villians. Toad would not be a horrible Minimate! He would complete the circle of cylindrical Minimate life. Toad is the prophised One, the last of the Unmade. All Hail Toad!

hellpop Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 You know, I've come to realize that this is exactly like Game of Thrones. Exactly. Kang's Robert Barathean, and now that he's fallen, there's a scramble to take his place. Unfortunately, that makes one of y'all Goffrey *shudder*. Rocket Raccoon, of course, is Tyrion. Because he's short and awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groundhog7s Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 Why are other message boards not this funny? Hopefully, you're laughing so hard that milk comes spurting out your nose. And when you see the milk come out your nose, you'll think about how milk just isn't as good as when you're also eating cookies (well, not exactly nosed-out milk...). When you go look for a cookie, you'll meet up with Chuck at the DST Cookie Stash (which I'm sure you must have). When he offers you a cookie, he'll ask if you want some milk with it. When he does, it'll remind you why you wanted a cookie and then you'll tell him how there should be a Squirrel Girl mate. Or something like that (I had to change the words in the book from 'mouse' and 'crayons' to 'Zach' and 'Minimate' to make it work). This was easier than adapting 'If You Give a Moose a Muffin'.

elhonez Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Well he ain't obscure, but I think it might be time for ZEMO. He's one of the three remaining Mattel Secret Wars characters (if you include Constrictor, which I do). He's purple-ish. He's a villain of some renown. Have Zemo II and his pop be variants with a MANDROID army builder in a future wave and let the awesomeness permeate your blood-brain barrier.
