Hey meme lord! If it's okay, could you tell more about the villains/antagonists of the comics? I see that there's a bunch of them and all with their own personality

Like, who are they and are they kinda like Phantom Blot's evil gang?

Sorry this is a bit long, love your posts!

No It's okay! I actually love talking about the comic villains, I could spend all day talking about them.

Let's start with the gang question, since that one really does changes on what comic you read but there are villains like Vutler

Villains who have teamup with Blotty though they certainly not apart of his gang , often times doing their evil deeds on their own .

I

As for example b: They're are villains who constantly team up with Blotty such as Pete, Trudy and Scuttle

Though by the very nature of long-running comic these baddies aren't always working for Blotty and will do crimes without our beloved inky.

And of course, there is is a sub series comic where Blot does have a gang proper: Reporter Goofy: set in 1930s, it follows goofy becoming Reporter at Blot's newspaper who unknown to him is front for his criminal gang and he of course, unknowingly thwart his plans.

It also have a great Plottigat but I can save my endless love for this series for another time.

And of course there also villains who either never meet Blotty or outright dislike him.

Now as for who exactly they are, for the sake of not making this post extremely long I will talk about my favorite villan within the comics and if have questions about the other villains I post about my dms are open.

Sylvester Shyster

Pete's partner in crime (take that however you like) Sly is the brain to Pete's brawns, the one with the plans and connections , he's one of the few smarties who isn't a mad scientist, managing to make a whole crime city within a blimp (and also almost committing mass murder )

Using the news to slander Mickeys name, so they could become mayor (yes they did kidnapped the mayor to do this)

And of course becoming a judge and throwing Mickey and Minnie in jail for the most offensive crime... having a picnic without a permit (they also was blackmailing the city for it natural colors)

Obviously my favorite comic of his have to be the time he was forced to be Mickeys lawyer and went about it in the most petty way possible.

Classic Sly.

He was also formerly Minne's uncle lawyer and he did have a thing for minne like Pete did in the old cartoons but I definitely prefer when that isn't that case, like we don't need ever another villain to have a thing for Minnie dndn.

Anyway thanks for the ask and I hope this clarify things, and isn't too long to read!

Independence Day (1996)

In many ways, Independence Day embodies the action/sci-fi films of the ’90s. Heavy on the action and special effects and not all that concerned with cerebral ideas or science. There are some clear flaws. I’d even call the film clichéd and predictable at times. All that's painted over with a nice, thick coat of watchability. If being entertaining isn't the most important quality in a film, I don't know what is.

On July 2, 1996, the sun above every major city on Earth is blotted out by enormous flying saucers. When the aliens attack, it’s time for Earth to fight back! The film follows an ensemble of characters: U.S. President Thomas Whitmore (Bill Pullman), computer expert David Levinson (Jeff Goldblum), U.S. Marine Corps Captain Steven Hiller (Will Smith), and among others, Randy Quad as Russell, an alcoholic crop duster and Vietnam veteran who seeks to give the aliens that supposedly abducted him years ago a piece of his mind. United together on the 4th of July, humanity prepares for a last-ditch assault against the extraterrestrial menace.

If you like War of the Worlds, but you think the ending is stupid, you're wrong but instead of arguing, let's agree that Independence Day delivers when it comes to the entertainment. This picture is essentially a less cerebral version of the H.G. Wells story combined with Earth vs. the Flying Saucers. That’s not a bad thing. This film’s got some modest goals, and it achieves them. Director Roland Emmerich wants to show humanity banding together against the ultimate threat via eye-popping special effects. The grandiose epic is told through a bunch of charismatic characters while hitting your emotional buttons via a bunch of “regular” people with “regular” problems. This film’s got so many things going on, it’s impossible not to find a character or situation to like/relate to.

Whenever anyone criticizes Independence Day, it’s always for the same reasons. No one believes that a critical plot point in the film, an instance where human and alien computers are compatible, is remotely plausible. There’s not even an attempt to give a reason why it would work like a revelation that all our computer technology is derived from this alien wreckage or anything like that. Why does it work anyway? Because of the emotional tone of the film. You believe it because it remains true to its spirit the whole time.

I’ll give you that there are too many sub-plots, but they’re all fun to see play out. Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum make a heck of a team. They’re both incredibly charismatic and together, they push you past the flaws and compel you to stand up and cheer. Cutting out any of the other stories would take away some of the feel-good sentiment used to contrast the devastation caused by the alien attacks. The moments of levity through comic relief and the wide range of stories make you feel like the whole world is united, ready to take up arms even if we briefly see what's going on outside of the U.S.A. The endlessly quotable and cheesy speech by President Thomas Whitmore says it all. It perfectly encompasses how the film makes you feel.

When you take into consideration how many times you’ll be blown away by the breathtaking sequences of destruction, our earlier critiques feel like nitpicks. Don’t care for razzle-dazzle? How about memorable quotes by charismatic actors, feel-good moments of selfless heroism, and genuine excitement as mankind face one of its deadliest foes yet? There’s something inherently watchable about Independence Day. It effortlessly draws you back to it, drawing you back so you can memorize the best moments and cheer at the right spots. On the 4th of July, with friends who are ready to have a great time, it sure hits the spot. (On Blu-ray, July 13, 2016)
