Important Big Hero 6 The Series infos from this article everyone needs to know:
The characters are still true to the movie
Fred’s dad will be a voice of wisdom for Fred AND Hiro (who thinks he’s not special because he doesn’t have a “power” like everyone)
Spotlight episode on Fred
Spotlight episode on Gogo and Honey Lemon (who, by the way, are actually ROOMMATES!!)
Anyway, even if Hiro and Baymax are the center of the story, all the other characters will be explored as well!
Aunt Cass is not confident into being a parent, is a “flawed caregiver” (give me all the Aunt Cass angst)
The creators have gone “crazy with him [Krei] compared to what he was in the movie”. In other words, Krei will be explored more and it might get interesting…
The mish-mash of American and Japanese culture of San Fransokyo will be explored
There will be a “mother-daughter 80’s themed dance crime team” called High Voltage and Katy Mixon voices a character. Probably explains where this girl comes from:
(oooooh man this is gonna be good i can feel it)
SOME VILLAINS WILL BE COMEDIC, OTHERS WILL BE MORE SERIOUS AND THREATENING (UH, HELL YEAH??)
The show will be full of important life lessons and science is portrayed positevely
A few notes before the list: I’m not too familiar with shows that have OCD rep, nor do I have OCD, so this list is made up of characters from things I haven’t read or watched, nor do I know if they portray OCD or OCPD. I’ve put information as best I could from what people have said about it.
And, of course, if anyone knows of any other characters please feel free to tell me or comment and I can add it in, or if you’re familiar with the character, please let me know if the rep was offensive or not.
Adrian Monk – Monk (*Sometimes played off as jokes, but mc with OCD who’s shown as brilliant and a wonderful detective)
Anarchist/Tike Alicar (Earth-616) – X-Men comics (*Unsure which versions he shows up in, but this link may help as it has footnotes which includes some of the comics he’s in).
Bea – OCD Love Story by Corey Ann Haydu (Found from this list)
Ellie Bishop – NCIS (*Non explicit)
Emma Pillsbury – Glee (*I recall some jokes but also Emma’s distress about having OCD, moreso as the show went on. However this is Glee, so the rep may not have been ideal)
Joseph Chandler – Whitechapel (*Main character, OCD was shown as a serious illness that impacts his life/job and is not joked about)
Kevin Casey – Scrubs (*I recall that this showed how it negatively affected his life and job, but I believe he was only in 2-3 episodes)
Monica Geller – Friends (*I recall there being jokes about this)
Randall Brown – The Hour (BBC) (*Not played for laughs)
Riddler – DC Comics (*Multiple versions, disorder seems to be related to his obsession with riddles)
Sheldon Cooper – The Big Bang Theory (*Often played off as a joke at Sheldon’s expense)
Ooh I just thought of someone else: possibly/probably Wasabi from Big Hero 6? It’s not outright said that he has it, but I recognise some of his behaviours… (putting things in their proper places, getting anxious if certain rules aren’t followed.)
I basically spent the entire afternoon and night teaching myself how to work Illustrator. I’ve had this idea for a graphic in mind for a while now and I finally have the software to make it so yay~
