#ngl the phrase ‘he feels like he’s leading the Marx Brothers onto the Beaches of Normandy’

[dinosquad-central]

Thanks to @quinnsteria we have some Dino Squad concepts! And the character notes are gold (transcriptions below)

Max/T-Rex: good instincts, charm, class president, BMOC; risk-taker, hot-dogger, jock, easy smile and laid-back demeanor, serous de facto leader. Tom Cruise's "Maverick”, big ego, feels like he's leading the Marx Brothers onto the beaches of Normandy. He was winning in life and lost this so he's now a bit bitter

Fiona/Spinosaurus: Billy Murray + "Old" Rosie O'Donnell, speed freak. easy going, fast driving, tomboy-athlete, quick wit, need for speed. When not burning rubber she's “kicking it” with the guys.

Caruso/Stegosaurus: wants to be cool at any price, changes personality at will, bit funny, bit like Scooby, empty headed ego. Thinks he's better than others, ultimate wannabe, incredibly vain and self-centered, attention span of a gnat. Every new passion is his ticket to mega-stardom. A teen version of Ben Stiller's Zoolander, "I'm too sexy for my shirt”.

Buzz/Pteranodon: false hero, scared, bitchy funny, bit like Shaggy, tough-talking loudmouth, all show no guts. Wants to be a tough hero, but afraid of own shadow. The bigger they are, the harder they fear! Joe Pesci as the Cowardly Lion, turned Cowardly Dino.

Rodger/Styracosaurus: Chris Rock + MacGiver, under appreciated, gets no respect, makes cool multi-tools... “and it also makes great cappuccino!” Why? Because it can! wise-cracking, limitless technical skills, drives others crazy with an endless practical jokes.

#ngl the phrase ‘he feels like he’s leading the Marx Brothers onto the Beaches of Normandy’ #is gonna be living in my head rent free for a while #max actually has something in the notes here… too bad it didn’t really shine through in the show #Fiona is sonic the hedgehog I think lol #also buzz is shaggy confirmed #and I love that he’s described as ‘bitchy funny’ #although I feel like his cowardice didn’t really come through. I don’t remember him being especially cowardly 🤔 #on the other hand Caruso being Scooby meets Zoolander is both correct and hysterical #and Rodger… #the juxtaposition of ‘endless technical skills’ and ‘gets no respect’ is sending me #that is a perfect description and I love him for it #dinosquad #dino squad #rolf maxwell #fiona flagstaff #erwin caruso #neil buzzmati #rodger blair #dinosquad official art #which is a tag I never thought I’d get to use lol #concept art #art #character notes #quinnsteria #dino mod
