Don’t be ashamed of your character that looks like the Tick, just remember Crimson Chin still exists and it’s basically identical to The Tick.

@Kek The Hero I think NB Studios is being too hard on himself. I can see the inspiration in the character design as far as sihlouettes go. But with that hair style, the beard, and mask resembling more of Robin and The Incredibles than the Tick? I don't see how Face Beast looks like The Tick.

One of the many things I love about the animated series, is Chairface Chippendale's plot to deface the moon. Other shows of the time would have stopped the villain before he could implement his plan and maintained the status quo. Here the "Cha" on the moon could be seen for the rest of the shows' run. Also there was no way Chairface could fit his whole name, using that font.

What I like about the version from 2016, is that it appears that his origin story in that one may be that he didn't even exist until his existence was necessary for Arthur plot armor. That is my favorite interpretation of his origin. He wasn't born. He wasn't an ordinary guy who gained powers. He doesn't have a past. He simply, is, because it's necessary for him to be.

i just finished the amazon series, and while the show itself was good Im now absolutely obsessed with the Tick as a character. In my opinion the actor who played him was amazing at playing the role, although I guess if you were a fan of the other versions I can't really speak in that aspect as I never seen anything else yet. I'm so dissapointed they cancelled season 3, I really wanted to find out if Walter had to do with the creation of the Tick.

I was in love with the 90's show as a kid. I would go around yelling "SPOON!" at every opportunity. But yeah, none of my friends liked it. I think they felt personally insulted by deflator mouse and american maid since most of them were batman fans. lol
The Tick is my favorite superhero
Always liked the tick. Wish the Amazon show would have been renewed. Remember when Spider-man took a jab at the tick in his show?
The fact that originally he beat up beaker and bunson honeydew from the muppets to escape the insane asylum was hysterical
I hope we get a new Tick, a cartoon one preferably. And hopefully after the Amazon series Ben Edlund's done experimenting with edgy Tick and we can actually focus on the comedy

The Tick & Mystery Men is how it would be in real life. It wouldn't be so clean and perfect, people would have real issues with their powers and personal life.

I wish the Amazon series had more episodes. It started off as my least favorite version of the tick (I started collecting comics in the 80s), to my most favorite and still feel like that series only got better and was really coming into its own when they cancelled it.
I loved the tick Comics and the cartoon, but the Patrick Warburton Tick was the best by far.
Brilliant character, especially in the original comics.
I have a plastic Tick figure I got in a Happy Meal years ago. It's always fun to take a trip down Big Blue Memory Lane.
I’m impressed by the amount of research
2:12 Brilliant repurposing of the sound from Peace Walker's title screen. It was damn-near seamless, too. I'm impressed!
We need a season 3! Spoooon!

Naughty spawn! You face the tick!
And here I am, watching a video from 3 years ago in my recommended.
The Amazon shows is almost doing it realistic and acceptable but one thing is wrong: Tick's eyes and retina are never supposed to be visible, they're supposed to look like he's blind. Can't they do CGI that hides the eyes?
Spooon!!!

Thentick was a great show

dude i hate that amazon cancelled their version of the tick, it kinda makes sense though, around that time the boys was getting way more popular and they simply shifted budgets. invincible too. hey we still got 2 great shows, i just wish the tick wasnt left on the back burner. its the perfect superhero.
