No rhyme or reason to this disaster.
If I was British, I would be offended somehow. I don't think a dapper little dipshit, tap-dancing and twirling a cane, is the sort of image I'd want to project to the world. Mr. Rime seems to have forgotten that Mr. Mime was supposed to have clown hair, and instead has developed wings of a sort. Attached to his hat, which is also part of his head, naturally. Because everything must be a nightmare.
I'm not even going to comment on his Poirot-ass mustache, or his icy clown shoes that must leave him slip-sliding all over the goddamn floor, but I do need to question what in the hell is going on with his stomach. Is that a second face, trying to form? It looks a little bit like Mime Jr. Does Mr. Rime sprout Mime Jrs. from his stomach like a sponge, reproducing via budding? That's horrific.
Overall: 1/10
This is awful misinformation against one of more fun designs of gen 8.
ReplyDeleteBut... but... he has a mustache.
ReplyDeleteMr. Rime is supposed to allude to Charlie Chaplin’s “Little Tramp” character from the era of silent film— an evolution *cough* of vaudeville and pantomime *cough* theater. Chaplin was British and the Little Tramp films from 1915-1936 were hugely influential.
ReplyDeleteYou should do a little background googling beforehand writing these up.
Interesting backstory does not necessarily make for a good design. It's nice knowing *why* Mr. Mime got a new evolution, but that doesn't change the fact that some of us find the guy messy to look at.
