HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY! Man, if it hasn’t become clear at this
point how much I love this day than I don’t Know what to tell ya, and Since
this is my Favorite time of the year, I decided what better way to share why I
love it than by analyzing my Favorite Horror Movie of all time, as well as my
favorite movie in general, Creepshow! Now this is going to be including all
supernatural threats from Creepshows 1-3, and explaining how to be OP in it, I
hope you Enjoy!
Building Tier:
This marks the First and Only Tier of the series, Creepshow is an
anthology horror series, and naturally because of that, features a large
variety of Ghosts, Goblins, Ghouls and other creatures with unique powers and
comparable stats. In terms of strength, the monsters are Building Level, due to
feats such as Chief Woodenhead being able to tank numerous blasts from a
shotgun without damage, and The Lakebed Monster being able to completely
dissolve a human in seconds. In Speed the fastest character in the verse is The
Radio Being, who is a sentient radio wave, who can bare minimum travel Much
faster than sound, and that is consistent with the Green being able to travel
as a meteorite. So Generally Building Level Hypersonic is the way to go. Now
going into abilities, uhhhh, there are a lot of abilities to cover here that
make a verse this low very haxy and hard to deal with. Granthum has
Telekinesis, which can allow him to shield himself and hurl attacks back to
sender. The Wendigo has insane survivability, being able to survive 127 years
with no food or water, and being trapped at the bottom of 70 feet of water,
meaning taking advantage of biological dependencies won’t work. You are going
to have to have some form of Anti-Stealth to deal with the Beach Ghouls, who
can teleport and generate so much fog they were able to sneak past an advanced
camera security system undetected. That said the verse itself Also does not
have a weakness to Stealth as The Lakebed Monster has in incredible sense of
smell that can detect foes from miles away, and Chief Woodenhead has expert
level tracking skills. Numerous characters in the series have some degree of
Regeneration, the best example being The Hitchhiker who can continue to fight
even after having his entire body mulched practically into paste. Past even
that though, is the sheer number of non-corporeal beings, such as The Green
which is a hive minded plant organism that spreads and grows on anything it
physically touches at a cellular level, and needs to be destroyed on such a
level. Even more impressive than that however is The Radio Being, who, while
unable to directly attack, is a sentient Radio Wave who can’t be physically
harmed, as well as the fact she is clairvoyant and really manipulative so she
can still get you indirectly. Also if you thought The Green was a dangerous
thing to touch, The Lakebed Monster is a logia being made of some tar like
corrosive acid, and can dissolve anything on earth in an instant through contact.
The Verse also contains a hive minded army of cockroaches with human
intelligence, an intangible ghost who can scare people to death, and a mad
scientist whose inventions can reality warp a town, manipulate memory, and make
people invisible and inaudible. The most dangerous being in the verse though is
The Creepshow Creep, our undead host, who can fly, summon Storms, resurrect the
dead, shapeshift, and has powers such as Transmutation, Photokinesis and Forced
Empathy.
So This verse is extremely volatile, especially at such a low
tier, so it seems to me that we really shouldn’t be focusing on fighting these
characters physically, the regen, intangibility and non-corporeal abilities
make that simply too difficult, and instead we should seek characters who have
Hax that can deal with them, as Hax Resistances are not very common in this
verse. Also given how dangerous characters like The Lakebed Monster and The
Green are to touch, in addition to numerous potential oneshot hax, Ideally you
would want some schemer intelligent character who doesn’t put their body at
risk.
Ryuk:
Ryuk from the Death Note Series would be a perfect pick due to
perfectly encapsulating this strategy. As a Shinigami, Ryuk is completely Invisible
and Intangible, and thus would not be able to be hit or detected by any of the
characters in the series. As many probably Know, Ryuk’s main power is the
ability to use Fate Manipulation to cause anyone to Die, provided he knows
their name and appearance. No one In the Verse could truly resist this hax,
that said given those two requirements it could take awhile to pull it off, and
if you were going war of attrition style, I would choose,
Peketo:
Hailing from the much under appreciated series, The Black Heart,
Peketo has stats that match the monsters of Creepshow in strength, and while
he’s lacking in speed compared to them, it doesn’t even matter. Peketo would be
Impossible for this verse to ever Truly Defeat, as he, I kid you Not, has a
Mid-Godly Healing Factor, so even if they completely destroyed every trace of
him, he’d just come right back and stab them. Which is Bad as his stabs can
harm a victim's soul, allowing him to harm the ghost Noroko, since no one in
the verse resists Soul Hax, they are doomed to lose the war of attrition.
But there are more efficient ways to win than war of attrition,
for an alternate method...
Memoryhead:
Memoryhead from Undertale would be extremely overpowered in the
Verse, being able to protect himself from basically any threat due not only to
his regeneration, but his Intangibility making him practically untouchable. And
this thing can attack back, HARD. Able to Mess with someone's Mind to throw
them off, destroy their soul with danmaku style soul attacks which no one could
endure, or even flat out absorb something like The Green and quickly spread out
of control and take over the planet in mere days. All that said, Memoryhead
cannot fight the foes of this verse Directly, For THAT, I’ll turn our attention
to...
Bunshinsaba:
Bunshin is an Extremely dangerous Youkai Spirit who has a lot of
helpful fighting powers like Flight, Teleportation and Telekinesis to allow her
to casually combat any of the verse’s normal fighters. Her Hax are very
well rounded as Bunshin is able to Possess her foes and use them to destroy
others, allowing her to very slowly use the verse against each other, even if
she were to find someone putting up too much of a fight. Bunshin has Soul Hax
to deal with The Green and any Ghosts, She's got Immersion if she needs to slay
The Radio Being, and even if none of that works there is no character in this
verse she couldn't simply seal away into the Demonic Abyss, her trademark
ability.
There Is however One Other who i think is More Broken than Even
Bunshin, are you people ready for this? I’m Not...
E.T.:
Yes, E.T. The
Extraterrestrial, the least scary movie alien, yet easily one of the most scary
if you really think about it. E.T. can Mind Control people or completely Drain
Away their Lifeforce from vast distances away, which in and of itself already
gives him the means to take down any of the fighters in the entire verse
without having to even be in their vicinity. He can’t Lifedrain a Ghost, but he
can mind control them, he can’t Mind control the Green, but he Can Lifedrain
it. E.T.’s Control over Life is actually much more complex than people realize,
In the movie he was able to resurrect dead flowers and even Bodily control
Elliot by accident from across town. This all means there is NO Question he
could simply take control of every being in the verse, living or dead, through
one of his powers and have them destroy each other. And even If someone wanted
to say, Fight E.T. Directly it wouldn’t work, as E.T. has powerful Telekinesis
better than Granthums to keep them at bay, Regeneration incase he does get
hurt, and from there, he just haxes em. Also E.T. is like MASSIVELY more
intelligent than anyone in the series, able to create interstellar
communication devices out of nothing more than garbage.
So Yeah, E.T. is Scary Afterall….Happy Halloween!
Welp,
Happy Birthday to me, lol, and to celebrate I am doing a blog on one of the
greatest Cartoon Network characters of the decade. The Amazing World of Gumball
first began in 2011 and has been consistently pumping out new episodes before
ending just recently this year. In that time it has become one of the Longest
franchises in CN’s catalogue, won tons of awards and taken the internet by
storm, so to commemorate it I am gonna give my full analysis on its
protagonist, Gumball Watterson.
Disclaimer:
Sorry in advance for using outside music for this blog, I didn’t have much
choice given almost No Gumball music is available, I did do my best to get
music that sounds like that used in the show.
Background
Welcome
to the Magical World of Elmore, the strange cartoon city in northern
California, where anything and everything can be alive.
In this
town, all forms of cartoons and characters, can and do exist, from robots to
ghosts to dinosaurs, video games, sentient food, mythical creatures, celestial
bodies and even whatever the f*ck Sussy is. In this Amazing world, anything can
happen, anything fits in, and it is an endless haven for Cartoon Creativity. As
such, it is a perfect world for Gumball.
Gumball
Watterson was born to a lazy, goofy bunny named Richard and a Hardass, Badass
cat named Nicole (Whom he definitely took more after). While young he was quite
a massive troublemaker, though it was also completely out of his natural
curiosity and hyperactiveness rather than any form of malice. This changed
however when his parents bought him several pet goldfish, one of whom
eventually grew legs and lungs from the care he provided. Growing up in a lower
middle class suburb, Gumball loved fun, hated school and used his creative mind
to do as much of the former and as little of the latter as possible. Him and
his entire family are, for better or worse, very influential on the town of
Elmore as a whole, due to their actions being off the wall even by that worlds
standards, which has made their family quite infamous and secured them as the
main characters.
Gumball
goes on all sorts of adventures and mischief all throughout Elmore with his
Adopted, Goldfish Brother, Darwin and his Younger Sister Anais. Be it helping
others, winning his girlfriend(who is a celestial emotional angel creature)’s
heart, clearing his family's name, battling his Arch Nemesis Rob or even saving
the entire city from metafictional threats. Gumball Watterson is always there
to, well do something to try and help.
Personality
Gumball
is a really clever and funny cat, he’s very curious and imaginative, and
despite being snarky and sarcastic is extremely optimistic. He loves to have
fun and will come up with all sorts of harebrained schemes to have the maximum
amount of it, that being said he’s not a troublemaker, any harm he causes is
almost always an accident and he’ll do whatever he can to make it right.
Gumball can be very sweet and helpful, but also lazy and cowardly at times. His
biggest character flaw is his massive ego which his good natured makeup often
struggles to contain. He wants to be the center of attention and star of
whatever is happening, even if he’s got no idea what he's talking about. He’s a
good kid though, good older brother, a loyal friend and supportive boyfriend.
His likes include Video Games, Adventure, Movies, TV, Playing Outside and Being
Awesome.
Intellect & Skills
Despite
not being portrayed as super smart that often, Gumball is actually Remarkably
Intelligent. He has been able to make super impressive multi-layered plans,
accounting for every possible variable and perfectly predicting the precise
actions of everyone around him, as early as the pilot episode of the series. In
fact, this is pretty consistent with his clever and more sneaky nature, Gumball
can in the heat of the moment manipulate events and people to get out of jams
and into more favorable positions. Additionally he's impossibly skilled in
sleight of hand and pick-pocketing. Probably Gumball’s Best intelligence feat
is when he got a job at Joyful Burger, only to quickly work his way up and
become the CEO of the entire company, sell his shares and retire as a
multi-billionaire, all in just ONE Day.
Powers
Likely
due to being part of a wacky cartoon world as strange as Elmore, Gumball
manages to have quite a few handy powers at his disposal.
Claws:
A
relatively simple power to start with, but Gumball ultimately is a cat and as
such, has claws on his hands and feet which are sharp enough to damage other
characters or carve tunnels to escape through while he’s barely moving.
Can
Breath Without Oxygen:
Gumball
is able to survive underwater and in the vacuum of space without needing to
breathe.
Viral
Immunity:
Gumball
is completely immune to all forms of Virus, Mutations, Diseases and even
Poisons due to his ability to completely control his body, and can use himself
to cure others.
Elasticity:
A
consistent feature of the series, Gumball has incredible Elasticity Powers. He
is stated and shown to have full control over his entire body, able to
rearrange his features, limbs and internal organs in any conceivable way
without negatively affecting himself whatsoever.
Gumball
can stretch so far he can enter into outer space, remotely control his
separated limbs, compact his body through impossibly small areas, massively
change his size, or even divide his body in half and control both sides.
Gumball
is able to inflate his body like a balloon or change his state of matter to
liquid in order to gain flight and logia respectively, and naturally Gumball
also has great Shapeshifting capabilities because of this.
With
said Shapeshifting powers, Gumball could take on the forms of other characters
and creatures (made even more convincing as he has shown he can perfectly
replicate anyone's voice), turn his finger into a key to pick locks, make his
body 2 dimensional, and even perfectly replicate the floor of the school.
Regeneration:
If
Elasticity wasn’t enough, Gumball also has extreme regeneration abilities,
which have allowed him to near instantly come back from even the most grievous
of injuries. He’s been turned inside out, shattered to pieces, had his head
explode, had everything BUT his head explode, been reduced to a puddle and
reduced to a skeleton, all of which were so casual he may do it to himself
intentionally just to avoid cleaning himself.
That
being said all that is Child's play to Gumball, he's multiple times had his
entire body reduced to nothing but ashes or dust and been completely fine, and
his regeneration actually stops his deterioration of matter, not only does this
allow him to age at a significantly slower rate, but it has twice allowed him
to regenerate from someone using aging hax to turn him elderly.
But the
MOST impressive feat of Gumball’s regen in action is when he and Darwin ate
themselves, literally erasing their entire physical beings from existence, and
they Still came back. At this level, this would be considered a Low-Godly
Healing Factor which means Gumball basically cannot be killed through physical
force alone.
Age
Manipulation:
And
Speaking of Aging Hax, Gumball, though his incessant chatter, can rapidly age
and deteriorate a person into being decrepit and elderly.
He can
also cut out the middleman and make foes rot and decay, merely by looking at
them in anger.
DNA
Manipulation:
Gumball
can disturbingly create projections of his own DNA, and manipulate it himself
to genetically mutate his body in any conceivable way, he can do this to change
his species, physical traits, voice, you name it.
Gumball
was also able to manipulate his DNA to physically and mentally turn himself
into an adult woman….yeah that's a thing.
Matter
Manipulation:
Gumball
can easily manipulate matter in a variety of ways, though the most common
method is through things like molecular fusion. Not only can Gumball fuse with
someone normally but he can also forcibly merge with someone turning them into
a brain controlled zombie mushroom thing, which is quite unsettling. Gumball
also has matter manipulation resistance as he was able to enter into Wasamie’s
tornado, which scrambled the matter of all who entered it, with no negative
repercussions.
Energy
Manipulation:
Similar
to his mother, Gumball is able to control and manipulate energy, and can use
this to create energy bursts from his body, turn super saiyan, and even do
things like create clothes for himself.
Flight:
Gumball
is capable of both levitation and flight with total ease.
Gravity manipulation:
Gumball
can also drastically increase and decrease the amount of gravity affecting
himself and others.
Teleportation:
On a
few occasions, Gumball has also shown the ability to teleport as well.
Non-Physical
Interaction:
Gumball
is able to physically grab and interact with steam, gas, liquid, his own
emotions and can even run on clouds. Past even that he's shown the ability to
physically interact with Carrie, who is an intangible ghost, in fact in another
instance, Darwin physically grabbed his own soul. Meaning Gumball has both
Anti-Logia And Anti-Intangibility.
Possession
Resistance:
Gumball
past that was also able to fight against possession from Carrie, giving him
some resistance to possession hax, this leads me into,
Mind
Control:
Gumball
has powerful mind manipulation abilities, his first and most basic being his
ability to control someone's mind. Sometimes he likes to use a watch or video
but ultimately he’s shown to be able to do it just by looking into their eyes.
Gumball’s Mind Control abilities are powerful enough to hypnotize an entire
mall full of people at once and not only will people under his control do
anything he tells them to do, but he can even make people visit their past
lives, give them new allergies, make them fluently speak other languages or
even change their weight and have it become physically true.
Telepathy:
His
powers of the mind extend far beyond this however, after bathing in Toxic
Waste, Gumball gained Telepathic Abilities as well. Gumball can now read
people's thoughts, place images in their mind, see and experience their
memories and even physically interact with their imaginations on the mental
plane. Also he can somehow absorb knowledge from books by eating them.
Power
Ignore:
A
rather specific ability Gumball has, it allows him to literally prevent himself
seeing or hearing anything he doesn’t want to, this also prevents the
metafictional audience from doing so. This ability is so strong that he was
able to completely not acknowledge the existence of any of the kids or staff in
the school not in his classes, and was only able to upon turning it off.
Thought
Constructs:
Gumball
can also use his imagination to make thought constructs, like an imaginary car
that can actually function in the real world, or even weapons like guns as his
sister Anais displayed.
Emotional
Manifestations:
I’m not
sure how useful this is but Gumball can peel himself back into his different
emotional states which make up his entity.
Spatial
Hax:
Gumball
is able to manipulate space quite casually, separating things or attaching them
somewhere else by manipulating the spatial area they exist in.
Time
Manipulation:
Gumball
is capable of creating metafictional Countdown clocks, which he can interact
with, to bend time to his will! While he has shown time manipulation without it
a few times, this can effortlessly allow him to Time travel to any point in
history or the future and make changes accordingly.
Gumball
can also use this to both rewind and fast forward the flow of time, slow the
rate of time around him, or even stop time completely.
And if
that wasn’t enough he can use it to call upon copies of himself from other time
periods for backup giving him duplication abilities as well.
Montage:
Montage
is basically a power that allows one to, by abusing the cinematic timing of the
medium they are in, do a task that would normally take a lot of time in effort
in only a very short amount of real time by showing only the implication you
put a lot of time and effort into it. Through using this power they got their
super overweight dad into shape in a time stated to only be 1 minute. This can
potentially be used for Gumball to quickly learn basically any skill in the
world or accomplish any reasonable task in an extremely short timeframe.
Immersion:
Gumball’s
Immersion power allows him to enter into any medium he wants as if it was its
own pocket dimension. Gumball has entered into Photographs, Movies, and even
written books changing the words within to have them in the story. In one
instance he and Darwin even ran across every channel on a television as their
dad flipped through the channels and then were stated to be running in a book
he picked up immediately after.
Tongue-Fu:
After
scouring the toxic website Ramblur, Gumball learned the BS Argumentative styles
of the Social Justice Warrior, and can actually use this to attack by turning
basically anything someone says on its head to knock them back.
Metafictional
Manipulation:
If it
hasn’t become clear by this point, Gumball’s metafictional powers are very
potent, Gumball is able to reach back and rob his past self through comic
panels, metafictionally grab the dialogue boxes and use them as weapons,
manipulate subtitles to literally change the script and he’s even aware he's a
fictional character.
Reality
Warping:
And if
that wasn’t enough, Gumball is also a reality warper, able to affect and warp
the world in ways he sees fit. Gumball’s reality warping is impressive enough
to change the day sky to night and back again, and versatile enough to create
the game Dodj or Daar, which, with its Dodj cards can manipulate reality to
make the ground feel like Lava, puppetmaster someone's body, give people
nonexistent mental disorders, cause dramatic music to play over the cartoon,
put people in stasis, make gravity turn against someone, transmutate someone
and stop people from breathing.
Feats
Speed:
Moved at speeds so fast, he burst into flame and
shattered everything around him in a flaming mach cone.
Piloted Santa’s Sleigh, which obviously is
capable of the ‘go to every kids house in one night’ feat.
Gumball once dodged a microwave, like a literal
Microwave, the radioactive wave that travels at lightspeed.
Can Dodge lasers from Bobert.
Gumball and Darwin can move so fast they were
able to paint Mr. Robinson’s fence about a dozen different times at speeds so
fast people staring right at them couldn’t even see them move. Not to mention
right before they did this they, in seconds, cut Mr. Robinson’s entire lawn
with nothing more than a Nail Clipper.
When his dad thought he had a Real Magic wand,
he and Darwin granted every wish his dad made via instantly running out and
causing whatever ridiculous thing he just asked for to happen at speeds so fast
other characters couldn't perceive them do so.
He casually had an entire conversation while an
Explosion appeared nearly frozen in time.
He, really impressively, took over Larry’s
responsibilities for 5 whole minutes, to give him his yearly break. Larry is
overworked to the point he works easily well over 3 dozen jobs across all of
Elmore simultaneously, and is so fast he's basically omnipresent at each
position. And Gumball could manage to replicate this for the duration of the break.
Gumball’s Girlfriend, Penny, is so fast she’s
casually able to fly into deep space with a passenger at speeds clearly
Massively Faster Than Light. And for comparison, Gumball in one instance, ran so
fast he got out of Penny’s grip, grabbed Darwin, swapped clothes with Darwin,
put Darwin into Penny’s grip in his place, then left the room, all before
either of them could perceive it.
Lastly, Gumball, Darwin and Sussy were all fast
enough to fly into outer space and to what appears to be the center of the galaxy, (yes
this whole trippy sequence happened exactly as presented) in about 5 seconds.
The distance to the center of the Milky Way galaxy is about 25,000 Light-years, with that they must have been flying 157
Billion times the speed of light, which is consistent with the Penny and Larry
feats.
Strength:
Threw a f*cking treadmill through the f*cking
toilet pipes so hard the toilet exploded
Physically defeated His Arch Nemesis Rob.
Scales Past Penny’s Father Patrick, who threw a
shoe all the way to the moon and left a scuff mark on it.
On More than one occasion he has also physically
beaten himself up, proving his Strength can match his own Durability.
Knocked Out the person whose name isn't jodie by
throwing a shoe at her.
He Scales Past Darwin who once broke every
single television their cartoon was being played on with merely his voice.
Durability:
Was able to Tank one of Darwin’s devastating
sneezes at close range! For reference:
These same sneezes are powerful
enough to cause an earthquake that sent all the objects in the city into the
stratosphere, launch Banana Joe’s entire family all the way to China, and even
hit the 4th wall!
Tanked Terminal Velocity fall.
Endured the destruction of Gorgoroth The
Devourer, a planet destroying entity who created a massive explosion the size
of the school.
No-sold the impact of a Meteorite.
Tanked a MASSIVE NUKE from Bobert which
devastated the entire city and caused even the distant mountains to quake.
Tanked a punch from Bobert that launched him
through multiple walls, Bobert is strong enough to kick balls into the sun.
Was launched so high that he flew into outer
space near jupiter, then fell all the way back down.
No-sold a building buster blast.
But most impressive of all is when they
teleported back to the beginning of time and casually tanked the Big Bang like
it was nothing. The Big Bang exploded with a force of at least 40 Septillion
FOE, and its initial blast covered an area of an estimated 17 centimeters,
Gumball himself has a surface area of roughly 1,550 cubic inches, and the
distance between them appears to be the length of 5 spiral Galaxies, or 9.5
Sextillion Meters. Tanking this at that distance with that surface area would
require a force equal to over 61.8 Petatons of TNT, that's multi continent
level.
General:
Defeated his arch nemesis, Rob, in a massive
Metafictional War.
Endured Extreme Reality Warping Effects.
Endured all of reality being reset.
Once Dealt with a multitude of extreme threats
and saved his entire family on his Day Off, where he was intentionally putting
forth as little effort as physically possible.
Traveled into The Void, the metafictional
drawing board where all mistakes are banished from existence, history and
memory to rescue his boring friend Molly who the show had stopped featuring.
Survived the night against an undead evil ghost
being.
Survived his show literally running out of
budget on a meta level and reducing him to nothing more than a stick figure
drawing on a postit note.
Survived the satellite broadcasting his cartoon
suffering all sorts of issues and causing him and his town to glitch out like
crazy.
Survived the Evil Turtle apocalypse.
Survived being stuck on the school roof for a
week with no food or water.

Chowder:
Chowder
would be a perfect choice to fight Gumball as his series is one of the few
cartoons that manage to be Just as Meta as Gumball’s own, and they also have a
similar vibe of being mostly pure and innocent characters, who still manage to
get into all sorts of trouble through their tomfoolery. Stats wise Chowder is a
bit Stronger, While Gumball is a bit Faster, but that doesn’t super matter as
both of these two have some pretty crazy hax abilities up to the Metafictional
level, so a fight between them would be as imaginative as it is cartoony.
