Did you ever wonder why Dracula was black in Grim Adventures or did you just accept it as a kid?

>>149386612 (OP)
Assumed like his voice it was a massive joke on blackula, and kind of the out of date type monster/movie stuff. Also his voice acting gave me Blaxploitation vibes

>>149386612 (OP)
i assumed it was a joke about blackula, like how the ginger hunter guy was a joke about snake/ash

>>149386642
>>149386653
This. The fact that he's clearly stuck in the '70s makes it obvious.

>>149386612 (OP)
Didn't even think about it as a kid, or why the grim reaper had a Jamaican accent.

>>149386612 (OP)
I just accepted it and wanted to see more Dracula he was a treat Everytime he showed up.

I was 11 by the time the show ended and even I knew he was a Blakula reference. Almost everything I know about media made before the 90's comes from constant references in TV

>>149386773
>or why the grim reaper had a Jamaican accent.
This I didn't even notice for years

>>149386684
Yeah, I thought so also how well as they say "unapologetically black" he is. Dude just screams a guy stuck in the past, but mixed with a lot of that black groove funk culture, making him a perfect level of cringe and hilarious at least to me.

If it came out today there would be 10 Blackula threads seething over the wokeification of classic movie monsters.

>>149386965
If it came out today you would still be making up stupid scenarios in your head to get mad at.

>>149386612 (OP)
No, I just thought "why not?"
>>149386986
"Nooo don't use pattern recognition to predict events!"

>>149387419
So now pattern recognition is real?

>>149386612 (OP)
Maker knew it'd be more funny if they made Dracula a old black dude in the same way they gave Grim a Jamaican accent

>>149386612 (OP)
Accepted it in the same way I accepted
Jefferson Twilight's existence on Venture Bros, I enjoyed it

>>149386612 (OP)
Dracula don't suck he Scrape and Lick

>>149386612 (OP)
As a kid I had heard of Blackula so I just assumed it was a reference to that.

>>149386612 (OP)
My dad called out the Blackula reference so I knew that's what it was a reference to it.

>it's an all 5'oclock shadow universe
Ok that got me.

>>149386612 (OP)
Even reading this made me laugh his voice is so funny

>>149386965
If it came out today, it WOULD be wokification. They wouldn't have the guts to make a funny Blackula reference and make him the butt of jokes.

Grim was rastafarian you tard

>>149386612 (OP)
I was weird but I sort of accepted it, never saw a blacula movie but I knew they existed because of the Simpsons.

>>149386773
>>149386848
Ditto. I didn't know shit as a kid, I wasn't like "Wow, vampires aren't supposed to be black and speak like Red Foxx!" because I'd seen like 2 vampires. I just thought he was funny because vampires are supposed to be strong terrors of the night, and he was some cranky weird old dude who needs to SCRAPE AND LICK to get by.

>>149387896
He and the strawman are right
Same thing would happen to AtLA tenfold and it's cope to say people wouldn't freak out over the first few episodes

>>149386612 (OP)
Who is making these boondocks/grim adventures crossovers, and can I shake their hand?

>>149386612 (OP)
>Did you ever wonder why Dracula was black in Grim Adventures
Grim was black too, it wasn't that out of place

>>149386612 (OP)
This bitch doesn’t know that Dracula don’t suck.

>>149388129
You knew about Red Foxx when you were a kid?

>>149388983
Grim is wierder because he accent is Jamaican, one joke showed his grandma with dreadlocks speaking in Jamaican accent, but his human form was white as fuck
So I don't blame myself for not knowing he was supposed to be black

>>149388980

>>149388983
Technically white but only because they realized how bad it'd look for two white kids to own a black man

>>149389008
>his human form was white as fuck
The creators realized the optics of two white kids having a black guy was a slave

>>149388195
It wouldn’t give that the characters aren’t written as soapboxes for any idpol shit and just exist as characters. But you need to say otherwise because you can’t defend your bullshit and have to say it has always existed and that people just didn’t care. Tell me do you think jokes about people with disabilities would fly to people that support this shit? Guess what no more Toph is blind joke. Do you think that Katara would get her ass handed to her by Pakku? Nope. Do you think any reference to genocide or anything that could cause someone to get triggered? Nope. So how about you fuck off back to whatever shitty discord you came from and stop pretending that your trash was always the norm. Because if that was actually the case you wouldn’t have spent half decade bitching about “problematic media” and other shit. Talk about cartoons, or fuck off. It’s not hard.

>>149389357
>It wouldn’t give that the characters aren’t written as soapboxes for any idpol shit and just exist as characters
This shit is so fucking purposefully fucking meaningless and vague and can changed and switched up for anything you do/don't like. You can't hide behind a fucking text wall to hide it.
/co/ would fucking screech about Katara calling Sokka sexist, Sokka having a "humiliation ritual" with the Kyoshi warriors or being comedic relief. Every fucking time some new Avatar shit comes out /co/ screeches over cripples(which atla had multiples forever) or someone being too brown(which Pathik) was or stuff that is not the source of the new stuff being shit. You fucking know all of this, kill yourself you fucking faggot
>So how about you fuck off back to whatever shitty discord you came
I've probably been here longer than you fucking have you fucking subhuman larper, and I remember even by 2012 some faggot here was calling the show anti-white because he thought the Fire Nation was white, kill yourself you disingenuous fuck
>Talk about cartoons
Go make another thread about how xyz is too black or some shit

>>149389003
No that's my point! I didn't know shit. I didn't know what a Jamaican accent was, I didn't know who Red Foxx was, I didn't know about Blaxploitation or blackula. I barely registered Irwin was black, I had him down as a loser dork.

>>149389676
>This shit is so fucking purposefully fucking meaningless and vague and can changed and switched up for anything you do/don't like
How is it either of those things? I gave three examples of shit that wouldn’t fly today and you can’t even address them. You’re just pretending that it’s not happening. Why can’t you argue this?
>Katara calling Sokka sexist
And? Why are you acting like that alone damns it?
>having a "humiliation ritual" with the Kyoshi warriors or being comedic relief
You mean the same place where he gets a cut girl to fall for him? You seem to be purposely leaving context out. I don’t know why you can’t argue honestly, is it because you know you’re wrong?
>Every fucking time some new Avatar shit comes out /co/ screeches over cripples(which atla had multiples forever) or someone being too brown(which Pathik)
The best part is that’s all the characters are to you, cripples and browns. They’re not characters. That is the difference between what ATLA did and what is coming out now.
>I've probably been here longer than you fucking have you fucking subhuman larper
If that were true you wouldn’t need to say it. You’re getting overly defensive about something because it hit a nerve and in doing so proving my point.
>Go make another thread about how xyz is too black or some shit
Why can’t you talk about cartoons? Is it that hard? Is your brain that fried by your own culture war shit?

You kids wanna see Dracula dance?

>>149389816
Damn

>Did you ever wonder why Dracula was black in Grim Adventures
No.

>>149387896
>there are people who still unironically use this pic in the year of our lord 2025
Making someone silly-looking says something you don't like doesn't magically invalidate it, anon.

Something remain true or false regardless of who says it. How many still functioning neurone do you have left to not understand that?

>>149387896
>if it came out today, it WOULD be wokification.
No, it wouldn't. It would still be a reference to an old 70's character.

>>149386612 (OP)
>>149389003
As a kid I liked that he was this washed up funny and funky terror of the night that Grim looked up to, but now as an adult looking back at all the watched Sanford and Son episodes I did with my dad growing up it’s made me appreciate Dracula’s character being a Blackula/Red Foxx homage.

Personally, I feel like Billy & Mandy is one of the few cartoons that felt like black characters could be goofy and butts of the jokes and they’re still likable characters. Like Grandmama’s battle with GoodBling is top 5 Billy & Mandy episodes.

>>149390527
He's saying that nowadays even blaxploitation characters are deemed problematic, which is true

>>149386612 (OP)
Even as a kid I knew of blackula so this was hilarious.
His episodes are top 5 for me, which is incredible to think about considering how good the clown, dancing, juggling chickens and picnic episodes are.

>>149387419
>"Nooo don't use pattern recognition to predict events!"
Ahh yes, I too remember all the times where something didn't actually come out when it did, but instead released in our modern time in totally the same shape and form with nothing being different whatsoever.

>>149389357
Carl is wise.

>>149386612 (OP)
What do you call a Chinese Dracula? A Chingula?

>>149386612 (OP)
I thought it was just a joke about Count Chocula.

>>149389768
>And?
You're too fucking retarded and disingenuous and pretend there isn't an outrage culture with outrage merchant these days, I'm fucking sorry you're committed to denying it
>The best part is that’s all the characters are to you, cripples and browns. They’re not characters.
A lying little faggot who I can't take seriously. I remember when this board lost its shit to the leaks for the newer avatar and were constantly pretending that we never saw characters brown as her or that there were no cripples in AtLA, you know fucking well /co/ is full of cognitive dissonance and freaked out with no logic, and know well I'm describing them
Literally kill yourself you deceitful faggot

>>149391155
>You're too fucking retarded and disingenuous and pretend there isn't an outrage culture with outrage merchant these days
Oh there absolutely are, and you're buying in bulk.

Words of wisdom in Carl's voice.

>>149391170
go give to the patreon to some guy yelling about pronouns

>>149391205
No thanks, I'll leave your favorite pass time to you.

>>149390527
Writers today wouldn't have the necessary background to know about old 7ps blacksploitation movies.

>>149386965
Every episode would generate outrage over Mandy "girlbossing" her way through problems.

>>149391393
Nah, we'd just talk about how the "cute girls is actually totally badass and dark" is a played out trope.

>>149391155
>I remember when this board lost its shit to the leaks for the newer avatar
Even on /co/ it was a small minority of shitposters. Most anons were just laughing at Korra JUSTing herself or fapping to the brown nugget

>>149387960
I have never seen any blaxploitation movies but they have been referenced a lot so it sort of feels like I know what they're about and get the reference. Pop culture osmosis is a funny thing.

>>149389816
>her eyes

>>149390574
I don't know how any black kids felt watching the show but I have trouble seeing them finding Irwin to be "disrespectful" or "insulting" despite there not being other regular black characters appearing. He's just part of the cast and his archetype is just the annoying friend who has a crush on one of the main characters.

>>149391620
I belong to the latter.

>>149386612 (OP)
I never cared, I just thought it was funny

>>149391120
>Chingula
DUDE!
Clearly it's Chinkula.

>>149391704
I think Irwin was helped by the fact that he wasn't immune to the weirdness of Billy & Mandy, being part vampire and part mummy. Also Underfist being the last Billy & Mandy project that gave him the leadership role might have helped keep him in a better light.

>>149386612 (OP)
Not really, it was fine.

>>149391665
They're not really worth seeing, maybe as a novelty. They're literally the same fucking movie as the original one with the white characters, except with worse acting and on a smaller budget, and everyone is black ethnically and EXTREMELY black culturally.

>>149386612 (OP)
>Billy & Mandy/Boondocks crossover
Mudsharks are gross. It's ashame Mr Dubois didn't kill her & his mulatto mutt abomination in the real canon. All coalburners deserve death.

>>149391155
So you can’t argue anything I’ve said and you’re just cherry picking points to engage with. And even then you’re not actually actually arguing and instead just saying that I’m lying with nothing to actually back it up.
>A lying little faggot who I can't take seriously
So you cannot deny that you don’t just see them as browns or cripples and are instead just going to double down on this shit. Honestly why can’t you argue? You claim you’re not taking this seriously but you came back hours after my reply and wrote another fuming response. If you didn’t care you wouldn’t be doing any of this.

>>149389676
>Katara calling Sokka sexist, Sokka having a "humiliation ritual" with the Kyoshi warriors or being comedic relief
The fact that all of this was removed from the Netflix adaptation suggests the opposite

>>149386612 (OP)
Esl here, I always thought it was just an absurd funny take on the show because the show was already funny and absurd on the first place.
Like the bunny kicking Irwin and Billy friend ass. Because he wanted to show him what love is. Just another ridiculous scenario.

>>149389008
Greg Eagles was supposed to be using a Swedish accent like Death in The Seventh Seal, but it came out sounding Jamaican and everybody just rolled with it.

>>149389003
Lots of us grew up watching reruns in syndication because we were too poor to afford DVDs or cable.
