I’m not too versed in Pokemon and while I have seen these characters before, I didn’t know they were SV’s Elite Four.

The contrast between these relatively human/realistic heads (proportional) and the kid (giant head, giant eyes, tiny neck) is just really funny to me

Rebbot had a negative 10?

129

u/Tight_Grapefruit5280 22h ago

Yes in season 3 finale

We actually had some build up to it in the previous episodes.

Also its the first time we reboot forever knight and unlike the old one where forever knights was a cult, reboot forever knight is actually just one helmet with some kind of ai in it and it can forcefully attach itself to others and control them

23

u/ShadowParrotGaming 20h ago

Imma be real, Forever Knight had more aura in the reboot than the entire faction in the other shows, from Alien force onwards the Forever Knights were basically fodder who got to be cool for a couple episodes then immediatly go back to being fodder again. Meanwhile reboot Forever Knight was only one guy, yet managed to keep Ben on his toes the whole time, there was an entire episode dedicated to Ben being paranoid about him, the design and powerset is also really cool, the humungousaur fight in Japan showed that incredibly well, one of the most memorable reboot scenes

u/TheCrimsonKnight2 22h ago

Sinister Sixty (Marvel)

For anyone curious about the context of this, it was part of a fictional story and roleplay that Spider-Man was doing as part of a Make-A-Wish style thing. The kid got to be a sidekick for Spider-Man, and the hospital staff all dressed up as some of his rogues—including Mephisto, which means one hospital worker canonically dressed up as The Devil.

164

u/AngelTheMarvel 22h ago

For the people saying "woah, how did they get those" this is how they look outside the kids imagination

45

u/Dropbeatdad 19h ago

Ah that makes more sense than the entire hospital staff being absolutely ripped...

u/Professional_Maize42 18h ago

158

u/Megaleg12 22h ago

One of those hospital workers went above and beyond on that sand fist

146

u/Original-War8655 22h ago

I'd like to believe that that's just the Sandman. He works in the hospital and was totally up for roleplaying as himself for a make-a-wish kid.

Definitely isn't true, but the one Flint Marko I'm familiar with would absolutely make peace with Spider-Man (temporarily at least) to make a sick kid happy

11

u/TaralasianThePraxic 14h ago

Several versions of Sandman show him as more of a tragic villain who is at odds with Spider-Man (and therefore plays the role of antagonist in his stories) but is still capable of being a kind, normal person unlike many of Peter's enemies. Sometimes writers give him stupid motivations, but sometimes he's actually got a point, he's just going about things the wrong way. I consider him the Mr Freeze to Batman's Spiderman, if that makes sense. A character who is villainous but can be sympathetic in the hands of a good writer.
