flex fighters deserves a bigger fanbase imo, it was such a good show and i swear it deserved a 3rd season so much. Hell you even got a badass female who, while serving as a love interest, actually has an interesting arc as a antagonist (not really but to the heroes in s1 she was, you’ll see what i mean if you watch it) who later becomes an ally It had good twists and like I honestly do think tumblr would have been all over rook as like the tumblr sexyman. Like sherlock? John? vilgax from ben 10? nah fam, rook is here
Tell me people wouldn’t legit simp for this mother fucker, i can just imagine all the x readers and rook’s sex dungeon jokes. Like come on tumblr missed the perfect fucking bandwagon to jump on when it comes to villains we constantly call sexy. I think the reason we honestly don’t see much rook smut is given the fact that a good majority of the cast is teenagers and all you really have to ship him with is kane (which tbh is a good ship as far as im concerned) or Cleo so i understand why we don’t see much rook centered shipping.
Better yet it had an honest to god pretty diverse cast for a cartoon seeing as a good few of the cast we see consistently is pretty diverse.
Nathan Park
Ricardo Perez
Jake Armstrong
Malcolm Kane
Riya Dashti
The cast aside i do think this series is most strongest in its second season as thats when shit really goes down but I do love season 1 as it set up every character perfectly and it really makes season 2 as good as it is as a result of that. I do think that each of the cast members are given pretty good motivation for what they do and that they’re not ignored for whatever character is given the most priority Ricardo struggles with parental and attachment issues as they’re constantly moving from place to place, unable to really bond with people at his schol as his parents business could easily take him to another school where he has to start over again. On Top of that his parents regularly cancel stuff as they’re busy Jake struggles with the death of his mother and how that pretty much made his dad sort of micromanage his life with a huge schedule and all that jazz as sort of like a way to cope. Nathan himself is arguably the most well put together as he grew up in a big family with plenty of siblings and a very loving grandfather so he had a more stable home in comparison to his two friend. Riya lost her parents and trained to become an assassin whereas Malcolm Kane sort of grew up in a gang ridden neighborhood and made his way out of that ( Only to become a tech man but thats a thing for another day ) so a lot of the characters have solid backstories and motivations I just hope this motivates tumblr or people at large to really check out this gem, it’s not quite hidden but not as popular as i’d like it to be
