Who was your favorite character in the D&D cartoon?

[Kahuna Burger]

Was thinking about the old Dungeons and Dragons saterday morning cartoon, and I thought I'd see who the fav was...

I vote Eric. Cowards live longer, and THATS how you used to keep your D&D character alive (back then, I had many sadistic DMs)

I liked eric in the way that I find myself liking any character that the writers use as a punching bag. I always wanted him to show up the rest of them, because the eternal loser who nobody likes is just such a lazy assed character to keep around. (This is why I liked later eps of MASH better when they replaced frank burns with winchester - he was still an opposition character, but he had redeeming qualities and it didn't smack of the same easy targeting.)

That said, I voted Uni, of course.

I voted Hank because he was a decent leader and I like rangers. Second choice would have been Shiela.

Uni wasn't the cute one. Sheila was the cute one.

I voted for Sheila.

Eric, 'cause he wore real armor (unlike Hank's pajamas) and his kick-arse shield had a very cool hawk's head emblem.

Tiamat would come a close second (you gotta respect a creature so powerful it scares even the demonic one-horned, nightmare-riding, bat-winged main villain... in a kiddie show, no less!)

I voted Eric, because despite him being a coward, he often saved everyone's bacon with his uber-shield. He was also probably the character whose reaction was closest to what a real person's reaction would be upon getting stuck in a D&D world. "Oh sh-t! Mommmmy!"

We need to have another poll for favorite episode. For me, it's a toss up between the one with the beholder, and the one with the bad guy who was stealing kids from their dreams and using them to hold back the hands of a giant clock.

Ah, Sheila. In many ways, she was my first love.

Too Much Information Biggus! TMI!!!!!!!

Ahem. Well then.

Hank definatly had leadership qualities, but he was inept at splitting up the team. Hank would go off with Diana and Bobby (and therefore Uni), while Presto, Sheila, and Eric would go another way. So you had all the people with weapons on one team leaving the other defenseless. And they called Eric cowardly.

Eric was the only one of the kids who showed character development from the start to the end of the show. Furthermore I got the impression Sheila starting digging Eric more than Hank near the end, although there was definately a Hank-Shelia thing to start out with.

Biggus. This is getting really disturbing. Stop it please. Stop it now.

Incidentally, while surfing the web for some happy D&D cartoon memories, I came across this one website that had various drawings of Sheila without ... um ... her cloak. Pretty disturbing actually.

That's it! This post is stopping now!

But--

NOW!

Sheesh.

I thought the kids were all a bit sad and nerdy myself - of course that may just be denial and self loathing
