PE Removal: King Candy/Turbo
I'll go in saying that this has nothing to do with the current controversy regarding the OP, but more of a reflection of when I wholeheartedly believed this guy counted, but... there are issues. From Wreck-It Ralph:
Turbo, the main antagonist of the first film. The "hero" of Turbo Time, he was once the most popular game in the arcade...until competition came in and, in his envy, he crashes that game causing both to go unplugged. This starts the term "going Turbo" for whenever a character wanted to leave their game and go to another.
Believed long dead, Turbo actually took over Sugar Rush and usurped the rightful ruler Vanellope von Schweetz and, after trying to delete her outright, instead makes it to where people lose their memories of her a…
PE Proposal: Art the Clown
In celebration of Terrifier 3 coming out later this year, here is a blog on the one and only Art the Clown.
- 1 What is the work?
- 2 Who is he?
- 3 What has he done?
- 4 Heinous standard
- 5 Mitigating factors? Freudian Excuse?
The Terrifier franchise, an indie slasher series penned by Damien Leone starring a killer clown who may end up one day reaching the likes of classic slashers like Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, etc. The first film is... not good and is kind of a paper thin story with characters you care about as much as used toilet paper. Believe me, I would understand why some would hesitate to think Art counts because the film has little story, is mean-spirited, and has disposable characters.
Terrifier 2 fixes this by introducing likable characters large…

Speak No Evil, an insufferable 2022 psychological horror film about a Danish couple being invited to a rural house by a Dutch family. Surely nothing bad can go wrong, right?
Patrick and Karin are a seemingly normal pair of spouses and the parents of Abel, a boy who was diagnosed with congenital aglossia, aka born without a tongue (but we will get back to that later). Despite their differences, Patrick and Karin strike up a friendship with Bjorn and Louise. When they suggest that they come live with them in a rural house they owned in the Netherlands, it is there where a lot of the craziness goes down. For instance, Patrick critiques L…
PE Formality Post: Percival C. McLeach
So, another victim of the "Plagiarism Plague" and, while he is already auto-approved, I think there was enough debate on some aspects of the character that are worth talking about, so I wouldn't say that he is a clear-cut keeper much like Captain Vidal from Pan's Labyrinth.

The Rescuers Down Under is a 1990 animated Disney film and sequel to the 1977 film. Set, well, down under in Australia, a young boy gets kidnapped after saving a rare species of bird from a poacher and a mouse files the report to the Rescue Aid Society where we are reintroduced to Bianca and Bernard from the first film.
McLeach is a notorious poacher wanted by the Australian…
PE Proposal: The Supreme Intelligence (Marvel Cinematic Universe)
So in the events of the filler movie release of the latest film in the MCU The Marvels, I had felt that this character qualified back in the first film

Captain Marvel is a 2019 film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe featuring Brie Larson in the role of the titular character. Basically an origin story for Captain Marvel explaining how she obtained her powers and what she was doing prior to the events of Infinity War. In it, she is a soldier who fought for the Kree Empire in a war against the "villainous" Skrull. During a mission, Captain Marvel (or Vers as she was renamed) crashes on Earth and gradually regains her memories after having recurrent n…
