Talk:Puppet Character Variations

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Revision as of 02:19, 8 February 2007

The puppets seem to have slightly different personalities to their Flash counterparts. I'd add that information into the article, but I can't figure out exactly what is different about their personalities. Thoughts? —Shwoo 07:09, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Shark-Tooth Bubs, at least, is decidedly different than regular Bubs. --DorianGray

Yeah, he's obviously different, but I was thinking more of Homestar and Strong Bad. Puppet Strong Bad is grumpier, I think. —Shwoo 07:31, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

You'd be grumpy too if you had a puppet stand in your rear. --DorianGray

H.R. Hurricanesnstuff

I think that H.R. Hurricanesntuff should be moved to Character Variations Other Costumes since he is a variation of the original Homestar Runner puppet (just a few pieces of felt added) and not an entirely separate character. For precedent, notice that when Homestar Runner dressed up as "Desire Man", we didn't consider this to be a separate character, just a costume. In the same way, H.R. Hurricanesnstuff is just a costume that Puppet Homestar is wearing. Trey56 01:49, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

(Whatever is decided, watch out for this redirect.) —BazookaJoe 01:58, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Well, that's exactly what Hurricaney is: a variation of a puppet of a character. I say just keep it here. Dr. Clash 02:01, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

I can see what Trey means. Hurricanesnstuff doesn't fit the intent of this page. Sure, let's move him. —BazookaJoe 02:08, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Right, this page encompasses variations of characters as puppets, not variations of the puppets themselves, if that makes sense. Trey56 02:10, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Actually, do we have enough Puppet Stuff costumes to make its own Other Costumes page? Like how Old-Timey Other Costumes is a subset of Character Variations Other Costumes, if we have enough puppet costumes, we could make Puppet Stuff Other Costumes. If not, let's start a puppet stuff section at the Character Variations Other Costumes page. —BazookaJoe 02:14, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Can't we keep 'em in both pages? --Trogga 02:15, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Probably not, if he only fits one of the two — what we should do, however is add a "See also" link at the bottom of this page to whatever place we decide to put the puppets' costumes at. Trey56 02:18, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

BazookaJoe: Offhand, I can't think of many other costumes that puppets wear — but you're entirely right that if there are enough of them (at least 10 or 15), they should get a separate page like Old-Timey Other Costumes. Trey56 02:18, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
