THE FLUIDITY OF AN ICONIC CHARACTER

​THE FLUIDITY OF AN ICONIC CHARACTER


Ryu in Power Rangers?!! Who would’ve knew

 After watching the reveal trailer for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, I saw RYU and I was like “man my guy is in everything”.He was just revealed as a guest character in the POWER RANGERS mobile game, POWER RANGERS: LEGACY WARS. That discovery led me to think “man when you have a truly iconic character there is no limit in what you can do with them.”

 Many artists/creators start out with the mindset of “this is my character and here’s how this character is going to play out in this story”. What the creator don’t realize is that the character may transcend that limited script and be featured in almost everything because of how beloved the character is.

 Iconic characters can end up in cross-genre movies, merchandising, and even with their own theme park (I see you Mickey).

 So if there are any creators out there just hoping for their game to be played, manga to be read, or film to be seen just know if you play it right your character can transcend culture itself to become a global icon you never imagined it could be.

Real Nigga Lyrics

Taken From The 3rd Verse of “Mickey’s Parlor”

Love, you won’t find it here/

Just clear bottles of Belvedere/

So you better beware/

When them dollar bills go in the air/

Cuz everybody, I mean everybody is looking for a handout/

When you going so hard, its so easy to stand out/

Passing grands out, goose got my mans out, can’t believe I got fans now/

They refuse to put their hands down, I hope you understand now/

That people forever go wanna fuck with the team/

We don’t play follow the leader we doing our own thing/

From venue to venue, continue/

To put it down/

Addicted to my sound cuz that what they need now/

Went from ordering wine, buying dinner mats from Target/

To only wanting sex, viewing women as targets/

Regardless of how you feel, this is still my lifetime/

15 mins of shine and we starting right on time/

It’s my turn now you gotta wait in line/

Ol’ girl getting impatient cuz she want it right na/

I give her…..
