The Dark Pinky fandom seems to have forgotten/ignored that Dark Brain also exists, and that he was still alive before the events of issue #1, with no solid evidence that he’s dead That said, Dark Pinky is still an amazing character, and I’m kind of stunned by how well it works
I definitely haven’t forgotten him, I think he’s interesting. But I don’t even know if he was… real?
This line from DP always confuses me. Does that mean he was a robot? A decoy?
All Brain did was hit him with a ruler and he fuckin caught on fire ???? Like what?? 😆
He definitely looks dead to me but you’re right. It was never really confirmed I guess. Though if he is actually alive and not a robot or whatever, what did DP mean by that and why did he catch on fire? Furthermore, why didn’t he come back in issue #25?
There’s a lot of unanswered questions.
I personally think he’s a decoy of some sort, and his only purpose was to lure Pinky and Brain to the lair.
But did DP base this off of an actual Dark Brain? If he made it, where’d he get the inspiration from? I mean he’s practically wearing the same suit as him with a few minor changes.
That also raises the question. If who he based this decoy or whatever it is off of Brain in his universe…. where is he?
Those are just my thoughts though xD
Good points
Come to think of it… I suppose it’s possible that Dark Brain and alernate-universe Brain could be the same character… I’d have to rewatch the episode to be sure.

When will Disney be held accountable for its hyena slander? An entire species of cuties slandered by the Mouse
I first became a fan of hyenas because of The Lion King so…
I feel like at this point Disney should just release Song of the South into the public domain because it’s pretty obvious they don’t want it anymore
I’m willing to admit that Song of the South isn’t exactly ideal in it’s depiction of of black people in the post-Civil War era. It’s a very Disney-fied version of an old-time Southern plantation. That much is obvious. That said, I’m certain that no one involved in the film intended it to be racist. It doesn’t depict Remus or any of the other black characters in a negative light. In fact, Remus is probably the smartest, wisest character in the whole cast. By contrast, the white characters generally tend to be very dumb and/or annoying, and in some cases bordering on disturbing.
I’m gonna be honest- I don’t actually enjoy the live-action parts very much. The plot relies way too heavily on important things being unsaid, and as I said, I find many of the characters off-putting in one way or another, especially the kids. In contrast, I find Remus and Tempy to be very likeable and charming.
It’s the animated segments that I really love. The animal characters are delightful, especially the villainous Br’er Fox, and the animation is among the best the Disney studio put out in the 1940s. The setting and characters have almost endless potential, as evidenced by how many stories Joel Chandler Harris collected, and especially the Disney comics, which have been going on in some form or another for decades now.
I think it’s very likely that if Disney had only adapted the stories into animated form, and didn’t bother with the live-action parts at all, the characters wouldn’t be half as controversial as they are now.
There are a few things that *extremely tangentially* connect Who Framed Roger Rabbit to pretty much every film, TV show, and theme park ride to ever exist, and I have to admit it’s weird that I didn’t- up until now- seriously consider a world where something magical like toons exist could also have stuff like ghosts, cursed pirate treasure, and aliens in it.
For whatever reason I had been working on the assumption that nothing else fantastical existed in that universe, but there’s really nothing to suggest that it’s impossible. Except maybe all those cartoons that say “there’s no such thing as ghosts”. …It gets complicated.
I think I might balk at including superheroes. It’d be way too messy and complicated, not to mention that there are toons who are superheroes like the Powerpuff Girls and the Superfriends. Why would there be toon versions of Spider-Man when there’s already a human Spider-Man?
…Would that be like a toon version of a celebrity or politician, like Cher is in Tiny Toons, or George Washington is in Fairly Oddparents?
Again, I’m probably thinking about this too hard.
I keep thinking about all those cartoons that deny the existence of the supernatural. If ghosts and vampires were real, why would Daphne always say there’s no such thing? Unless it all stays secret like in Harry Potter. I mean, that Arc of the Covenent does stay hidden, doesn’t it?
