I don’t know Moss-man to begin with. This is like my 1st intro to He-Man. So in my perspective, all these guys are new to me.  
So when he showed up and died two seconds later I was like: Wait was this guy supposed to have been a regular recurring character?  
If he were cut I wouldn’t miss him–because I wouldn’t even know what I missed.

@tehwatever  
He was voiced by Alan Oppenheimer,the original voice of Skeletor. That seemed to be all the weight he had,so I wondered how he’d come across to someone new.

@Dex Stewart  
well damn. in that case, that flew right by me.  
To someone who had zero idea about the original Master of the Universe franchise, Moss-Man’s appearance in the Netflix anime had the weight of a feather in my opinion.
 
Man, they really expected the audience to know some stuff before going into the anime, don’t they?
 
Shoulda just done a reboot, to be honest.

@tehwatever  
Of course they did, why do you think they tried to sucker in old fans in the first place?

@WyrmSpawN  
Here I thought they was tryna appeal to new fans.
 
I finished part 1 and I can already tell I much prefer this anime  
 
to the Netflix’s He-Man anime.
 
Because Thundercats 2011 (I kinda miss the damn thing) was a reboot and not a sequel thing, so I didn’t have to know jack squat to just enjoy it.

@tehwatever  
 
The 2002 He-man worked really well as an introduction,as well as a continuation somewhat.  
Also a far superior voice cast than Revelation. Who would have thought voice actors were good at voice acting? Novel concept right there.

not gonna lie.  
i kinda love the himbo-ish superman max landis makes.

@Dex Stewart  
IC.  
Pretty cool

so i have an idea for this autistic physic charater i’ve been think of for a long ass time: i wanna give him a red long coat as a refence to carrie (and a refence to US1 cuz i want to make some connections to that comic), make long for a dark city refence to those physic.

@Angrybrony
 
Go for it.
 
If you have a good idea, put it to paper and see where the inspiration takes you.

@Zincy  
i can’t draw doe.

@Angrybrony  
I think he also means you should write it down. Man’s a 140 IQ writer of fiction and academic works, I think his advice is sound.
 
The more you shape your concept up, the more of the general shapes and idea is marked down on somewhere other than your head, the easier it is for an artist of your choice to whip up a concept art.

@tehwatever  
He is? Awesome.
 
@Angrybrony  
Sounds like something I’d like to read. Are you autistic too?

@tehwatever
 
@Phantom Rider
 
Actually, when I was measured a few years ago, it was 135ish. But I think IQ is a flawed measure of intelligence. Consider the fact that despite having such an IQ, I am utterly awful at algebra and cannot spell for shit. Though I was measured like 6 years ago, before my grad school and teaching career.
 
 
But yea I was referring to writing it out. As the written word can paint a picture just as well as any paintbrush.

I never read comics so I want to know if Dracula actually owes Moon Knight some money.

@tehwatever  
That line/panel is an edit actually. He never actually says that iirc

@ichiban iceychan 1517
 
He does play online MMOs on his underwear though, and he stole Deadpool’s wife

@Phantom Rider  
yes. i wanted to make an autistic psyic charater since i don’t think there have been any and also i feel like there’s an interesting story you can do with it. this charater is one in a team of 3 (maybe 4) one being other member being his older brother that can project psyic weapons that can be detanated if needed (think greem lantern but with mixed with gambit).

Here’s Peter Capaldi with a giant Starro  

Mr. T was from the A Team right?
 
Did the other guys from that series go on to do anything big?
 
Never really hear about them.

@CaptainXtra  
Well apart from Mr T, the actor who played Hannibal Smith passed away in the 90s and the actor who played Templeton doesn’t really do acting much for about the past decade or so.
 
The only one who seems to have it good is the guy who played Murdoc. He went on to play Reginald Barclay in the Star Trek franchise and mainly does voice acting now.
 
he’s also the same guy who voiced Mung Daal in Chowder.

This has got to be one of the most realistic fight scene in all of movie history.
 
No flashy/shaky camera, no unnecessary cuts, the protagonists also gets hurt the way they hurt them and doesn’t overpower their aggressors.

@Count Adramalekhovich Searmagomedov  
I love it.  
I love that Hollywood is putting aside shaky cam for more gritty, longer take fight scenes that doesn’t hide an actor’s athleticism.  
Ever seen Atomic Blonde? I love the fights in it.  
Why choreograph something that the actor can’t pull off in the first place?

I’m having trouble coming up with a physical description for a character. Their species is a canid like, near anthro, thing. Its the face that’s stumping me.

Now this is perfection:
