Talk:Homsar Evolution

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Revision as of 12:44, 3 January 2006

Is this really necessary? The "changes" Homsar has gone through are extremely minor and subtle. With only two stages, which are almost identical, there's no real evolution here. I think this should be removed. Rudeboy87 19:17, 9 Apr 2005 (MDT)

He's a main character. It just fits with everything. --thatkidsam 22:22, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

But there is no real evolution to speak of..or am i missing some drastic changes? -- Tony Stony 20:25, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

You're missing some drastic changes. Poopsmith Z

I would say that House That Gave Sucky Treats belongs in the old design. His hat is bigger and he still makes a little sinse.

His hat is the smaller, less slanted version in that toon. Poopsmith Z

Would Marzipan's Answering Machine 5 be counted as the first stage of the evolution? He was understandable. Rogue Leader / (my talk)

The Answering Machines don't count because you never see any of the characters in them, so we can't tell which design they are. Poopsmith Z

Personality changes

I'm deleting the personality change from the current Homsar description and the listing of Marzipan's Answering Machine as a Homsar version. We don't record personality changes on any other character's evolution page, and I think they are too subjective to list, unlike visual changes which can be confirmed.

From Strong Bad's evolution page:

The outline is colored and has gotten thinner. Around this point Strong Bad loses the "I'm the bad guy" role to more of this mean funny cool guy. His voice is still somewhat hispanic, but to a lesser extent; the current Strong Bad voice is becoming more noticable.

(Emphasis mine.)

Should we do something about this, then? --DorianGray

Okay, I stand corrected about the other characters thing. Personally, I think it should be deleted from all evolution pages. I'm particularly bothered by this because I don't see how the few sentences Homsar speaks in the answering machine constitute a personality change. We don't even know if he was in the hospital or if Marzipan actually sent him flowers, after all. Homestar Coder 09:34, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

I see no problem with recording non-physical changes in the evolution pages, as long as they are somewhat obvious. - Joshua 12:44, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
