Garfield General Discussion Thread (No, seriously.)

[Imaginym]

Now that I've made this thread, I believe we have a place to discuss any & all official Garfield media.

For conversation starters: Should our Wiki's Garfield profile be a composite profile? He's a Newspaper Comic Strip character, has had multiple animated series, & been in several video games . Heck, one of his cartoons lasted 121 episodes, across 7 seasons!: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Garfield_and_Friends_episodes

But yeah. Discuss Garfield stuff here, if you want.

 

[Christian_Higdon]

I'll just stick around.

 

[Crimson_Azoth]

Garf is absolutely a composite-worthy character the same way that we have composite Godzilla and Mickey, etc.

Besides, I'm not entirely sure that the comics, games, shows and movie aren't all canon to each other

 

[Saikou_The_Lewd_King]

The thing is that Garfield still has his original comics going on with the same "canon", unlike most of the characters we composite. He still has a central canon, with everything else being just adaptations.

Although you could argue that the comics' canon is too vague fo that, or that other media are canon to the comics, but idk.

 

[Sixo_Bullets]

Should this feat be added to his page for further justification of wall level?

 

[Crimson_Azoth]

It would need to be accepted first

Well, for example, what contradictions between say, Garfield & Garfield & Friends are there?

G&F is a collection of shorts, some of which focus on US Acres/Orson's Farm.

AFAIK, Lyman's disappearance was never explained, so did G&F ever expand on that? Liz & Nermal seem the same. There's some characters that might be original to G&F. Does Binky the Clown or whatever his name is have comics appearances?

Supposing that WE do fail to meet the conditions to make Garfield a composite character. Are there other ways we could implement the content of other adaptations of him into his profile?

 

[HailTheGodTwains]

Don't mind me, just sticking around to see what happens.

Why didn´t Garfield got Time Stop and Acausality type 1 per the stuff I provided in the past thread?

 

[Imaginym]

@Bobsician: Reading the thread....

Zark2099

I've added the "kicking Odie into next week" changes to Garfield's profile, but skipped Bobsican's proposal for Time stop and acausality, as they were done by one-off gadgets and not Garfield himself.

You can lock the page now.

Garfield can have the time stop as optional equipment, and the Acausaily comes form a feat in his own part, as he had to escape the time loop he forced onto himself by himself, apparently.

 

[Imaginym]

Well, it's not my argument. You may wish to Message Zark2099 on his Message Wall, although if I were you, I'd be extra cautious & ask Antvasima for permission to do so first, but it may be acceptable to do so without Ant's permission.

 

[Insecurity97]

If we're gonna composite Garfield, there's always the fact that he has some Low 2-C feats

 

[The_Impress]

Optional equipment is usually a recurring and/or significant object to the character's arsenal and the clock likely isn't either of those.

If we were to add every object a character has possessed, pages would be a nightmare.

Unsure about the acausality, but tbh it seems flukey since the Genie may be a factor within it.

 

[Bobsican]

Optional equipment is usually a recurring and/or significant object to the character's arsenal and the clock likely isn't either of those.

"This is not to be confused with Optional Equipment, which can encompass anything that the character has owned or made use of for an extended period of time, regardless of whether or not it's usually on their person." - Standard Equipment

And no, the Genie wasn´t a factor beyond being the one inflicting the time loop to begin with.

 

[The_Smashor]

This

 

[The_Impress]

Garfield didn't make use of it for an extended period of time (only one episode) and I don't think he owns it, unless it is explicitly stated so.

If that's so, then I think adding Acausality makes sense.

 

[Jackythejack]

Quick question is Garfield actually a pretty weak 9-B? That calc linked above is like barely above baseline yeah?

 

[Bobsican]

Garfield didn't make use of it for an extended period of time (only one episode) and I don't think he owns it, unless it is explicitly stated so.

Literally the whole episode

It appears in the end that episode suffered a pseudo retcon, but it likely an still apply as optional equipment.

 

[Insecurity97]

Eh...I mean, he's taken a terminal velocity fall before. Wouldn't be surprised if he had a 9-A feat though

 

[The_Impress]

Only one episode. In which he breaks and loses it. For a character who has 40+ years of history. Extended.

Idk, it seems silly to add OP abilities to a character just 'cause. Makes our profiles look moronic at a casual glance.

 

[Iapitus_The_Impaler]

Question, isn't kicking someone into next week temporal BFR?

 

[Bobsican]

What would the mininum period of time be needed to even quialify for optional equipment then?

 

[Crimson_Azoth]

Terminal velocity fall is actually 9-C. I calc'd it

https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:Crimson_Azoth/Garfield_goes_skydiving_-_Garfield

 

[The_Smashor]

Yes. Technically it is.

 

[Iapitus_The_Impaler]

Imma add that description to his profile

 

[Jackythejack]

Huh alright. But when it comes to Wall Level stuff he's barely above baseline.

The call says 16 kj and I think that's even less than Baldi

 

[The_Impress]

@Bobsican Well, it should recognizable in some regard, and depending on a character's history, should be there for atleast 5% of the character's appearances.

That's my assumption tho, you can get it clarified by an admin.

@Iapitus

Holy crap it is

 

[Iapitus_The_Impaler]

Garfield is now decently haxed lol

 

[The_Smashor]

Good idea.

My god, Garfield has Temporal BFR.

 

[Christian_Higdon]

I think somebody's trying to give Garf more hax on another thread, guys.

 

[Iapitus_The_Impaler]

Link?

 

[The_Smashor]

Where?

I need another stupidly haxxed character to put on threads nobody's going to look at.

Here.

 

[Insecurity97]

I remember one good durability feat where Garfield's house fell on him, hopefully I can find it somewhere

 

[Christian_Higdon]

Guys, I've found some feats.

 

[The_Smashor]

Show them to us.

 

[Christian_Higdon]

Hold on. It's a dump of feats.

 

[Christian_Higdon]

Garfield eats part of a wall.

Garfield does this to an ice cream truck.

Garfield destroys the house by smashing a window.

Takes this. Nothing too cool.

Hurls a TV at Jon.
