#t7s polls

[kissandships]

It’s a toss up between Donna and Hyde, but I think Hyde would out-boomer her only by a little bit

[thestupidhelmet]

In your opinion, who’s the most popular character in that 70s show. Popular amongst fans not the show universe.

Hiiii! 😃

I honestly can't say. Opinions on the characters vary all over different social media platforms.

Also, by what criteria does one judge popularity? If it's by number of fanfics written, I'd say Jackie. But if it's based on discussions in different parts of the internet, opinion on Jackie seems to be split between love and hate or like and dislike.

The latter criterion holds true for all the main T7S characters -- except maybe for Kitty, but she gets a fair share of critique or criticism, too.

Polls are useless for this kind of question since they're often answered by a specific group of people with a certain mindset depending on the social media platform.

I can say, however, that Red, Eric, Kelso, Hyde, and Kitty seem to be more well-liked than Donna, Jackie, and Fez in one part of the internet. In others, Jackie, Hyde, and Eric are clear favorites. But I doubt a true consensus exists. 🤷

We've gotten a sequel, but what do you think about a prequel? I think I'd like to see young Red woo Kitty, what were they like? How did they communicate during the war? Did he have her photo by his bed. My head canon is set up like Young Sheldon/How I met your mother with Kitty and Red sitting with an album and telling their story to the grandkids and then flashback and they narrate things.

Hi @crimsinsky thank you so much for the ask!

I've seen more people talking about this since the sequel and I once did a poll on instagram between what people wanted to see more a Pre Series Red and Kitty show or a Sequel with them as Grandparents and it was a close tie. And this was before That '90s Show was an idea shared with us.

Honestly, I don't think I'd be too on board with the idea. I'd much rather see more of Red and Kitty as grandparents. For several reasons:

It would be hard to find actors for young Red and Kitty, Debra Jo Rupp and Kurtwood Smith play them so well, as great as the actors were in the flashback scene where they meet I much more preferred the Halloween ep where DJR and KS are made up to look as their younger characters.

Plus I love seeing Debra Jo Rupp and Kurtwood Smith working together again.

Pre-Series Red and Kitty are not the same Red and Kitty we know. It's been talked about before Red was very different from the Red we see in T7S. I can already hear people making comments about how Young Red is not how Red really is. Of course he's not. He's not yet a father and hasn't gone through his time in the war. Also we'd never hear him call anyone a dumbass since he didn't discover the word till after he and Kitty are married.

I talk more about it here when I was asked a similar question a few months back and my feelings about a prequel really haven't changed that much. It's funny that you mention How I Met Your Mother because I had the same idea in this post . It's something I *might* get on board with but I'd much rather see Red and Kitty as grandparents telling them stories about quick their relationship like we saw in That '70s Show.

Or maybe they could do an episode in That '90s Show like in Everybody Loves Raymond where Frank and Marie are telling a story and as they narrate a flashback scene is done with Ray and Debra in the roles of Frank and Marie only this time it's be maybe Leia and Jay in the roles of Young Red and Kitty. That could be fun, I love that ELR episode.

Got polls so I wanted to find out if this blog's followers play the game or are more of passive enjoyers of nanasis 👀

[dreaminterlude]

nah....no way shinee replay is ranked #5 on best debut songs 😂

[kissandships]

To be honest, all of these sound interesting. But I’d really like the first option, a continuation of Butterscotch Sadness (seriously that is so well written), and Donna and Eric actually get married at the end of s6.

I assume you’ll get to all of them eventually, but those three hold my interest the most

You keep insisting that the ending Naruto pairings are the reason Boruto's sales are nowhere near as great as Naruto's, yet how come Boruto Naruto the Movie has brought in far more income than both RTN and The last combined? The Boruto Movie has gained almost 40.000.000$ while The Last only 20.000.000$ and RTN only around 17.000.000$. The reasons boruto is not as popular as naruto was is because the plot sucks, the anime has too many garbage fillers, the artstyle in the manga sucks, the new gen characters suck, and the manga wasn't even written by Kishimoto until recently. It has nothing to do with pairings. Hell, if NS became canon, people would've hated it even more, considering how hated Sakura was, and you even admitted she is the most hated character. And you also contradict yourself. First you say she's the most hated, then you say SP missed a marketing opportunity with her... like girl make up your mind? She's the most hated character in the franchize, in a poll she was chosen as the most hated by both male and female, even Kishimoto went out of his way to say girls came at him and said how much they despised Sakura, most people don't give a shit about her, using her as marketing strategy would've done more harm than good. She's even more hated in Japan and other Asian fandoms than she is in the western fandom, and that already says a lot! You're really arrogant to assume that the "silent majority" you speak of are all NaruSaku fans. I guarantee you it isn't. In fact, most people don't even care about ships that much. NaruSakus, you along with the SNS fans, SS fans, NH fans are part of the vocal minority that has nothing better to do than bitch about ships all day long.

But did I ever say that they were THE ONLY reason they are bad? They are an integral part of it yes, but not the only one.

Just because you saw some asks of mine here on Tumblr, you just throw these things around, like this is the only place I talk about the story of Naruto and this is the only aspect I do.

Yes, here on Tumblr I might do it through the virtue of the asks I receive, but that doesn't mean it's the only space I address these matters.

I have other social media channels as well where I discuss other aspects as well. Ya know, how like Boruto is nothing more than a tweaked "cooler" wanna-be version of Naruto, with no real substance whatsoever, a story that doesn't truly leaves a message behind, a morale, with characters that are the shells of their former selves or mechanics that are skewed and "free of" any logic.

But sure, make it as if that's the only aspect I talk about if that makes you sleep well at night.

As for the reason Boruto made so much? Well, I'll tell you why: because it had NaruSasu. Because they knew they messed-up with The Last, so they did the next best thing they could to try and keep the fanbase engaged.

Focused on the biggest portion of the fanbase that gathered around both shippers and non shippers by the virtue of focusing on Sasuke and Naruto and their offsprings. You know why? Because this way they catered to two human emotions: familiarity/comfort & curiosity.

Aka familiarity via having NaruSasu and curiosity to see the new gen kids.

Which yes, had momentum and seemed to have a perfect recipe: no focus on the ships that initially brought he whole mess (Sakura and Hinata were close to non-existent in that movie), and "repaying" the fanbase that was initially pissed at the fact that people thought this was gonna be a T7 movie because of the heavy Kakashi and Ssuke advertisement when they were there to be found for onlyyy few seconds, lol.

But you see, in the test of time, Boruto failed because of the aforementioned reasons.

You say that people would've hated the ending if NS would've been canon, yet curiously enough the number of people that are even non shippers and agree to the idea that NS should've been canon has been increasing over the years. Which in a really curious way was surprising to me too as an NS fan that returned to the fandom after so long.

So you see, I am not sure exactly about that aspect there. Not to mention, since when does a story has to do what the fanbase dictates it? The story should follow its course and intended narration and that's that.

Yes, Sakura was hated, but that's not a reason to not have Naruto end-up with her because within the story mechanics we had many proofs that indicated that they should've ended together, regardless of how people felt about them.

Kishimoto didn't say girls came at him, he said girls sent him letters, which are two different things, because to his face no one truly said that, minus the editors who kept pushing Hinata forward and their bias as well.

Lol at you saying that using her as a marketing strategy would've done more harm than good when she's the only female character being marketed right now via figurines and all those other things.

So reality seems to be contradicting you a bit on that side.

Not to mention, you say that she's the most hated even in Asia and Japan? LOL, where did u even take out these lies?

The hate phenomena has always been a western fandom thing, not an Asian/Eastern fandom one.

You say that the pairings ripped with Sasuke and Naruto as well (funny how NaruSaku isn't dead even after years of being supposedly dead tho), for a character that should've been hated??

This whole hate thing was always a western fandom mirage, sadly, but in Japan and Asia she's always been loved. Like where did u even pull out that information from?

Also what I always said about a NaruSaku ending was that they could've taken a RTN route where they could've had ALL the pairings shown within a parallel universe, but sure, nice way to twist my words and make it like "I can't decide".

There are slight nuance differences which you either purposely not address or you don't know how to do the difference. The truth in this case only you know it.

But stop trying to act that high and mighty coming here on anon making it seem like ooh, I contradict myself and spread nonsense, just because you read a faction of all the ideas I discuss over my social media.

And now to address the silent majority argument. I never said silent majority are ONLY NaruSaku fans. That's what you assumed. Silent majority included NaruSaku fans yes, but also other fans who ya know, have some common sense within them and see how the story has been butchered for the sake of poorly treating a certain aspect of Naruto, which was the romantic one.

Which btw, you say that it wasn't a big deal, yet it was the no. plot included within the story, being presented as early as chapter 3, because chapter 1 and 2 revolved around Naruto wanting to become Hokage for people to acknowledge him and create bonds.

You say that the pairings aren't such a big deal in the fandom, yet guess what, SJ and SP directed a movie on that specific subject. Makes you wonder why now, doesn't it?

And it's a normal aspect to care about if you think about it for a manga that has been focused on BONDS. The romantic plot gets weaved in within the one about bonds really easily, because at the core of it it's about relationships.

And this whole world that we live it it's a relationship: between the body and the spirit, between then heaven and the earth, between friends, between relatives. EVERYTHING IN THIS WORLD HAS A RELATIONSHIP BASIS: atom interacts with atom and here we are, living, breathing beings.

But sure, come to me and paint me in this way you're trying as if talking about relationships and their quality is a bad thing.

Mhmm.

Whatever floats your boat, I guess.

You're free to have your opinion, sure.

I just happen to not agree with it.

And that's that.

Have a good day or night or whatever.

I love how no one picked Donna and Kitty. You just know they would survive.

Mention Midge if you'd like. :)

Q1. 33.7% are aiming to tier for this event and 29.1% are aiming for only one copy of the UR. 17.4% are not aiming to tier. 

Q2. Tier 6 is the most common for this event with 10.6% aiming for it. Following T6 are T3 and T7 both at 9.4% and T1 and T2 tied at 8.2%.

Q3-5. 68.6% prefer Masato, and although Ren’s SR is very pretty, it seems that the majority (89.5%) prefer the UR. 31.4% have Masa in their top 3 and 16.3% have Ren. 14% have both. 

*Keep in mind that a lot of these numbers may be skewed because the people who are more likely to tier will probably be the ones to fill out the poll. Previous event polls can be found in my ‘event polls’ and ‘poll results’ tags.

It's been forever since we last talked since I've been inactive, but I just had an idea I absolutely had to share with you. What if they had made That 40s/50s Show, where they focused on Red and Kitty as young adults? What do you think that would be like?

Thank you so much for the ask! So wonderful to hear from you too!

I've heard about this idea from Twitter and the social media places and years back I did a poll asking what kind of Red/Kitty spin off people would like to see a pre series in the 50s or something after the '70s and it was a pretty close call.

In all honesty I'd have mix feelings about it.

See while it would be great to see more Red and Kitty and see them as teenagers/young adults, they would be VERY different from the Red and Kitty that we know and love because the Red and Kitty we know and love are parents (and now grandparents) them being parents are part of their character. And we've learned that Red changed quite a bit from when he was a young man to becoming a father, becoming more mature and stern about things.

Also I know we've gotta keep actors and characters separate, but for me Debra Jo Rupp and Kurtwood Smith are Red and Kitty and they are also part of why I love and adore the characters so much. And as nice of a job as Young Red and Young Kitty did in T7S, it's hard to imagine there being Red and Kitty without Debra Jo Rupp and Kurtwood Smith involved. Now maybe if it was sort of a 'How I Met Your Mother' kind of thing with the two of them sort of narrating the story then I could get on board with that! Maybe...lol

I'd totally read young Red/Kiity fics though, I've written a few too. I know there are also a few fics out there that have sort of explored Red and Kitty's courtship through the war but sadly none of those were finished.

Either way I am so glad that we got a That '90s Show rather than a That '50s Show because 1) We got Red and Kitty as grandparents. 2) We got Debra Jo Rupp and Kurtwood Smith back together as Red and Kitty. And I'd take watching a long time married, still in love with each other Red and Kitty over a young love possible breakups and make ups Red and Kitty any day.

Thanks so much for the question!
