Okay, so this matter has been in the waiting for a long time, and since absolutely nobody else seems willing to take the incentive, I will.
A good chunk of our Dreamworks profiles are, to say the very least, extremely substandard, mostly when it comes to the justifications on their various tiers, or lack thereof. Hence why, this thread is meant to express my problems with various profiles and hopefully correct them in the process. For ease of reading, it's also gonna be separated into several sections for every franchise.
Note: Only the verse that I think are troublesome will be listed.
Kung Fu Panda
Not much wrong with this franchise, the profiles are all decent, however the one major problem there seems to be is the scaling between the Furious Five. They either scale off Tigress, or they're Unknown due to being physically weaker than her. Having seen the show and most of the movies, I can say that it is acceptable to scale them to her, as the Furious Five are never really implied to have that much of a gap between each-other. They also all held back Tai Lung to some degree, which is the reasoning for Tigress' tier as well. I think a "likely 8-C" for safety should suffice.
How to Train Your Drago
Oh boy, this is where we get into the sticky stuff. The human profiles are alright, even if their formatting leaves something to be desired, however the dragon profiles need some serious improvement. First of all, Toothless needs a key for Base and his Dominance Display mode/whatever, since he is clearly shown and implied to be incapable of damaging either the Red Death or the Bewilderbeast significantly without it. Also, the justifications for the Red Death's and Bewilderbeast's profiles are both very lacking. Finally, optionally, the Bewilderbeast creating an ice mountain would preferably need to be calced.
Monsters vs Aliens
Again, not much wrong here, except that both Susan's and Instectosaurus's profiles need some tinkering, as their justifications should preferably be expanded.
Megamind
So much wrong with this verse. First of all, the feat that supposedly gives nearly all the character their 8-B has never been calced. Secondly, I have been informed that the Death Ray calc featured in the Megamind profile is indeed wrong, and should preferably be re-calced as well. Thirdly, perhaps least importantly, but still noticeably, the two other profiles in the verse besides Megsy are lacking a summary section.
Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarro
The tier for the sole profile of this verse is extremely questionable, as I am entirely unsure on how a young, large, powerful wild horse like Spirit is incapable of even breaching Street level+, however I am unsure on just how strong real world horses are, so it is possibly that he might scratch 9-B as well.
Rise of the Guardians
Ok, now we come to the real reason why this revision needed to happen. Jack Frost and his absolutely horrendous profile. Zero justifications for one thing, and 9-C. This should be as much of a meme as Peak Human Nerevarine, but it isn't, despite the fact that Jack scales directly from Pitch Black, whom he was able to pressure many times, and whom killed the Sandman. In addition, he is lacking Invisibility, Intangibility and whatever power can be classified from repairing his broken staff.
