It's exactly what it says on the tin.
So...to start with me.
IlikeGungansinStarWars. There I said it.
Now, I was...six years old when Phantom Menace was released, so, of course, I liked Jar Jar. Heck, I made "spaceships" in the garage with giant cardboard boxes and chalk and pretended to go meet him XD . I see the annoyingness now but...holy cow, when I was eleven I had the most atrocious Mary Sue thrown at him. Urrgh, and was she ever D: ! Someone get me the brain bleach!
But even that means a lot to me, really. The six/eleven year old in me just won't let him go. When I was in fifth grade, my boyfriend (before he was my boyfriend) gave me HIS Jar Jar plushy because he knew he was my favorite character, for cryin' out loud...and I still have it =3 .
I think I like Captain Tarpals better now that I'm older...that mustache is amazing...He makes me wonder what would have happened if he was in Jar Jar's place. Maybe exiled for helping "outsiders" or something like that...he might have added a smidge more dignity, but I'm not sure. Or just Captain Tarpals.
My favorite part of that whole movie was when the Gungan Army was coming out of the fog. That was pretty epic, IMO. That really caught the true awesomeness for me.
"Primatives? B*tch, please."
Now, they still need work, and I think that had Jar Jar been more on Tarpals' level, he might not have made the whole group look so awful XD .
They could have been the pre-Wookie bad@$$ warriors. In fact, a 1,500-years-later fanplot that my brother and I have features the "action girl" as a Gungan named Artak. But more on her somewhere else.
So, enough about that...what about you?
And please do not fit the cone of shame on me. I am wearing it as a crown and with pride.
