Should I Write A SM Fic That Follows The Outline Of A 20 Year Old British Comedy? (I Swear It'll Be Cooler

Should I write a SM fic that follows the outline of a 20 year old British comedy? (I swear it'll be cooler than I'm making it sound)

Yeah, it's always fun when a villain starts to crack after losing to the main cast so many times, though Striker's done more than "start" cracking.

i love when men are literally bonkers

Love it, worthy of being the first BBB fanart on the site.

“Looks like we have another great match against—!”

“Wait….who the heck is this guy? This isn’t our usual contender…where’s that glass guy?”

“Short vacation? Aw, damn…”

“Introducing…Freezy Boy! A very special match as a once in a lifetime event collaboration with the BBB corporation!”

“This match should be…interesting indeed!”

A small little piece to draw a boxer from the upcoming boss rush game Big Boy Boxing! This game has many nods and such to PO, and I really enjoy the first contender, Freezy!

I've only seen one other person mention this idea, and even then it wasn't as fleshed out as my version so here we go:

Belphegor and Baphamet might by a couple, with Bel screwing around in her lab all day and leaving running the ring (and initially creating it's denizens) to Baphomet hence why the Sloth natives look more like him. Also as a side note I think Bel's role in the sin circus troupe will be as the fortune teller/psychic due to both her drug connection and the dream-like feel of Sloth.

Ranting about (and predicting) Big Boy Boxing (Warning: This will be MASSIVE)

Big Boy Boxing is a Punch Out styled indie boss rush game slated for release in mid 2024 with a cartoony style and bosses gimmicks inspired by Cuphead. It's being developed by fledgling studio, Soupmasters, and I am fucking OBSESSED with it!.

The predicting part comes from the official presskit which shows a bunch of boxers not currently sorted into tournaments.

For context, the devs are aiming for 24 unique opponents, we currently know about 6 tournaments and their champions, but given none of them have any final boss energy, I'm going to assume there will be 8 tournaments with 3 opponents each.

Just so we're all on the same page here's a link to the above mentioned presskit, here you can see images for all the mentioned characters:

Freezy's tournament: Freezy Boy is the first champ and this games Glass Joe, with the twist being he can hulk out. I think that makes it pretty clear that the fighters before him will be quite feeble. This makes me think of the Retired Joker and DJ Yamon. Neither a very tough looking and would make good introductions to a few mechanics.

Wild Dude's tournament: We already know about Mr. Adyltmen and of course, Wild Dude, given the latter's love of rats I'm betting Grizzly Rat is gonna be the third character.

Toxic Love's tournament: It turns out we know all three opponents, Coach Skank, Trigger Happy (thought she's been redesigned as a little girl with a giant mallet) and Toxic Love, herself.

Jim Chad's tournament: In addition to Titanic 5000, whose redesign has made him much less intimidating, and Jim Chad we'll see a spiky haired, currently unseen character, whose shadow can be seen with Titanic 5000's and Jim's in a cutscene snippet in the most recent trailer on the Soupmasters channel.

Bruno's tournament: The only guess I have for this one is Master Dong, his zenned out design gives him a tuned-into-nature quality, which fits Bruno's jungle theme.

Dr. Brawn's tournament: Brawn is a stereotypical supervillain, Super Roger is a stereotypical superhero, nuff said. Also there's Chef Kembo, recently reinvented on the official discord as a smaller hunchback (possible lab asisstent archetype) who drinks gasoline and goes by Chef Diesel.

Here's the discord link:

Others: D' Bulldozah and Grand Adultman are quite interesting both could be in the same tournament, but I highly doubt it. I think what's most likely is that Grand Adultman will be in the final tournament (though not the champ) and D'Bulldozah will be in the non-final, non-revealed tournament

That's all I've got for now, hope I got at least someone interested in this serious contender for 2024's GOTY.

I can't speak for everyone, but the reason I have a problem with that line is because, like with reducing Stella to being so one-dimensional, Viv is trying to have her cake and eat it too by trying to make the viewers see the characters (in this case Ozzie and Val) in black and white despite the inherent moral greyness of a show about the interpersonal relationships of a bunch of hellish hitmen.

And the biggest spit in the face is that one of the few things we know about Val is that he has a very toxic relationship with Vox, which already gives an, at least understandable, reason for the audience to see him as worse than Ozzie, so the random consent line is not only out of place in the seen and almost insulting, but also unneeded.

I really do like the show, but these little moments just really set me off.

Helluva Boss haters on Twitter are complaining that Ozzie is NOT a rapist…I wish I was lying.
