Talk:The Modern Four/@comment-24667521-20151112000011/@comment-24667521-20151121130322

Heh, well, if Big Inside Home is allowed to exist, then clearly having three people in a crossover isn't a problem, is it?

But either way, I wasn't necessarily saying to have a crossover with just the three of them and that's it (even if it did exist, it probably wouldn't have been as popular because no Hiro.) I was more talking about the amount of attention the general fandom gave them to begin with. When it came to adding movies, the fandom generally looked at the new movies as they came out--the Lorax, Hotel Transylvania, Epic, Frozen, etc. As for older films that came out before the Big Four, the fandom's attitude was mostly, "well, they are CG, so I guess people could use them, but...ehhhhhhh." The most anyone ever did was throw some Willet into the background of their stories and call it a day. And Penny basically got no attention at all.

When BH6 came along I expected it to be the same thing. New movie, added, the end. Hiro became popular, well, no surprise there. But for some reason, Hiro also started grabbing attention for the older characters too? It was just so odd.

It not like there aren't other male characters people could have used. Like, what about Astro Boy? Yeah, I know, he's not a Disney character, but he meets all the other requirements--lives in a modern world, around their age, and hey, the movie only came out a year after Bolt, I believe, so there's that ...if his being a robot bothers you, we could use the original Toby Tenma or just do what we do with Mavis and make him human anyway.

Would that have been as popular? No, cause the fandom doesn't care about Astro Boy. It's all about Hiro.

What about Ted Wiggins? His movie was a little newer, but again, meets all the requirements. And he came before Hiro, ap if the fandom really just wanted a male character, they could have used him. Would that have been as popular?

No, because the fandom doesn't care about Ted. It's all about Hiro.

And that's just the characters that my half-asleep brain can come up with right now, there's probably more out here. Point is, I highly doubt this whole thing would even exist of it wasn't for Hiro, but he just feels so out of place here. I don't think it's that far-fetched to say that it's his popularity that brought attention to the once-ignored characters his age. And that bugs me. Poor baby.

Don't worry about discussing things with me, I enjoy this type of thing. XD And I DID say I wanted to start a discussion, so I'm actually glad you replied.
