What am I coming to, posting one day's entry late but not the other?! I better not do this for tomorrow's entry. In fact, I might have to post it a little early.
Anyway, once again we're asking the question of how do we get females naked in animation and not have it be gratuitous, we're asking How Do We Do It?
Today's subject is The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy so we get two characters to work with each.
First, the two it happened to.
Billy can best be described as the village idiot. He's stupid, says stupid stuff, does stupid things; stupidity is the defining aspect of his personality. Take the time when a future version of him traveled nude to the present in one of the movies, Billy assumed it was Terminator-style, but he wanted to feel the breeze. Stuff like that happens because he's an idiot and acts like one.
Irwin has only had it happen to him a few times, but his role in the series is of someone who's both immature and luckless, like the time he turned into Mojo Jojo. The most memorable nude scene with Irwin in my mind was when he turned back to normal from being a werewolf naked in front of a crowd. Stuff like that happens to him a lot.
On to the two girls.
Mandy is a snarky, sadistic, callous little girl. She's pure evil in the form of a child, but prefers to express that evil in acting like a condescending brat who places herself above everyone else. Sometimes, however, things don't go as planned for her, and those moments are when nudity humor can be used, like her beach trip in "No Body Loves Grim."
Mindy with an "i" is Mandy's rival. As good as Mandy is, Mindy is better. She's more popular, and more successful to boot. Mandy doesn't like her and often tries to put her down a peg. Situations where Mandy orchestrates humiliating nudity for her can work really well for this, and as a bonus it showcases how evil Mandy can be.
Simple stuff. I don't know why I have so much trouble writing these, maybe because I've already written this stuff before...
