After watching marshmallow last stand does anyone fell that SBemails are causing a bland in strong bad's character especially everybody episode and whats with his new accent.I think homestar runner should handle all the emails instead of strong bad because he is stupid while retaining his greatest athlete character in the toons. Also strong bad should have his own cartoon which is like marshmallow last stand.

    After watching Marshmallow's Last Stand, does anyone else feel that the SBemails are causing Strong Bad's character to become bland? The everybody episode [?] especially demonstrates this. And what's with his new accent? I think Homestar Runner should handle all the emails instead of Strong Bad, because he is stupid while still retaining his greatest athlete character from the toons. Also, Strong Bad should have his own cartoon like Marshmallow's Last Stand.

    Anyway, I disagree. Marshmallow's Last Stand was the first toon ever, and it wasn't very funny. It's not surprising that it's different to the current content of the site. Strong Bad's characterisation in the emails is consistent with his characterisation in the current toons, and is actually less bland than the way he was in Marshmallow's Last Stand. He was a one-dimensional villain back then.

    Homestar's changed a lot too, he never used to be this stupid.

    since the whole email stuff is what mostly defined strong bad's character - correct me if i'm wrong - it's fine the way it is..

    I thought it was very funny the way homestar runner pinned and fought with strong bad.

    Yello Dello now Marshmallow's Last Stand, what's with your love of classic Homestar? I like Marshmallow especially how Homestar Runner gains his star, but modern day Homestar is far superior.

    in a few scenes this can be funny, but as i see it, stong bad is mostly entertaining because he is neither to strong nor really bad, like his name implies...but totally thinks he is.

    this is what has been confusing me about this whole thread. bland is an adjective, not a noun.

    so, "a bland" isn't a real word? the whole time i thought it was because of my bad english that this sounded quite unfamiliar...on the other hand, i guess, the meaning is still obvious...isn't it?

    According to dictionary.com, "bland" is an adjective, not a noun. And this is a trusted source.

    Edit: The German equivalents would be "mild" to mean "lacking taste" and "höflich" to mean "emotionless."

    Alternate thread titles:

    Is the Strong Bad email dampening down Strong Bad's character?

    Strong Bad's email results in increased blandness of Strong Bad's character.

    I want a full literature review and your experimental design to test this hypothesis.

    I'll stop being silly. :o

    Genuine answer: Not more bland, no. In fact, the opposite. Far more detailed and nuanced. In The Beginning he was just a 2D 'bad guy' for Homestar to win against in fights. Now he retains the disdain for, well, almost everyone, but is a far more fleshed out character in to something much funnier and that you can recognise in other people, while still serving his purpose as a general antagonist to Homestar and Co.

    I quoted the wiki because that's all I know on the topic.

    Yeah, that makes sense. (sarcasm) How does Strong Bad making up stuff that only Strong Bad could make him boring? If anything, it makes him more interesting and humorous. Plus, the Chap Bros. admitted Marshmallow's Last Stand was there first, and worst full length toon.

    I think it is the best full length toon it just needs a remake with the help of a professional fighter to direct the fight scenes.It ranks at 10 in my best cartoons on homestar runner.

    It does deserve a remake, but it's still originally kinda crappy.

    ya of course its crappy, its there first toon!I don't even think they should make
    a remake!The story line is crappy and makes Strong Bad look like a wuss!
    Now days SB could beat Homestar in any competition(except running).
    Besides they could be making an awsome email instead of making a
    remake of something people don't want to see!!!
