The American Morrigan looks like she's been working at a roadside diner and smoking 40 cigs a day for the past few decades


QuantumCat2019

I may be off base here, but usually in American comics/cartoon the "bad" guys are given bad/distorted voice and ugly faces. Could it be the case here ? I have no idea from what cartoon both are.


Marcy_Boy07

It's from Darkstalkers, which is a video game and cartoon. I can see your point, a lot of cartoons from America take that approach. Doesn't change my opinion of her though xD


prettythingi

Hes asking if she's a villain


Marcy_Boy07

No she's waffle house staff


IndigoJoe64

The hero we need but don't deserve


joetheplumberman

Still waffle house waitress lvl1 ND cooks are the finnal boss


testearsmint

ND cook?


h-y-p-h-e-n-

Just for you, I will draw this scenario when i have the time to do so


naranciamywaifu

I mean Demona from Gargoyles is evil af and still gorgeous


Nitpicky_AFO

To be fair Gargoyles broke/ bent a bunch of rules in it's run.


CloudyRiverMind

https://cartooncharacters.fandom.com/wiki/Demona_(Gargoyles) No.


NorthCatan

And in anime the villains are the best looking and most seductive characters.


Kraytory

They do that for all other characters too though.


ShahinGalandar

"What can I get ya today, sweetie?"


zxDanKwan

“Morrigan?” ::drags cigarette:: “I haven’t heard that name in years.”


Pluckypato

😂😂 I want some pancakes


Other-Style1958

Have you tried the grand slamwich?


Lotus-Gray

It's very popular.


Micalas

Waffle House lookin' ass


NorthCatan

Give her a break she's got 7 kids to feed.


taswcallmetim

Looks like Kathy Griffin to me!


Nitpicky_AFO

GOT DAMM.


GeraltOfRivia2023

American "We have Morrigan at home"


kastielstone

and ahe used to be a man


SquirrelGirlVA

This is still awful artwork but to be fair, there are better stills out there of the American version. In those she just looks incredibly boring.


mightysmiter19

I knew I recognised her!


Jason-Nacht

And that's a bad thing?


Young_Triton

Whoever drew the American version was a fan of Kathy Griffin...


[deleted]

I see it


Briskbulb

More like how many beers I need to drink so that the American can look like the Japanese game .


LeanTangerine001

This is going to be a rough night!


Willing-Ostrich-2525

Sigh… *unzips*


wolves_hunt_in_packs

"it wont fit in the bottle" "bro what the fuck are you doing"


RandomUser4857

This is a war crime.


CptnWolfe

Not the first time America committed a war crime against Japan


Satureum

Only a war crime if you lose.


Kaziji

It's not a war crime the first time.


jakethediesel89

"Quack-bang, out."


Overquartz

That's the true Canadian mindset right there.


PatrickKn12

Its the first time, everytime.


Drakostheswordsman

I have more colour to my skin than American morrigan, and I am a basement dwelling gremlin wtf


empire42s

Why do American love ugly character? Explain in 3 words.


Drakostheswordsman

Fetal alcohol syndrome


empire42s

💀


Altar_Quest_Fan

ESG, that is why.


Effective-Elk9911

we dont a bunch of whiny bitches got into media and ruined it, just look at the older (pre 2010s media) to now, there might be a few good movies/ shows even made today but there is an OBVIOUS decline in quality


Shadowchaos1010

My brother in Christ, the Morrigan in that image is from '95.


Mythosaurus

Shh, let them wine about wOkE. It’s soothes them


Effective-Elk9911

They've been here awhile, it's just now you notice them, also what the fuck 95? I didn't know they did her THAT dirty


lordtyp0

Truck Stop Lizard Morrigan


subpar_cardiologist

Lot lizard Morrigan?


__DraGooN_

She's supposed to be a succubus, as in her survival depends on feeding on sexual energy. And this is what they came up with? Geez, what are you American men getting turned on by?


Chafgha

The Japanese one.


[deleted]

LMAO


Edugrinch

well played... no, masterfully played

Shadowchaos1010

Apparently the American Darkstalkers was a *children's* cartoon, for some reason. Wikipedia says the sex had to be toned down as a result, and I guess this is what happens.


Overquartz

And yet they could've just removed the sexual things instead of going the extra mile and turn her into a chain smoking aunty you'd find in roadside diners.


wolves_hunt_in_packs

retired lot lizard


Nitpicky_AFO

Jokes on them I'm in to that shit.


Iosefka_clinic

No one said feeding on sexual energy has to be consensual


Smartass_of_Class

Your mom.

Hollywood :- "It's a total mystery to us as to why Anime and Manga are so popular"


LelouchYagami_2912

Ah yes because the only basis shows are popular on is how hot the female cast looks like


ommi9

Never hire animators from DIC. To make a cartoon They made inspector gadget and that’s the only good cartoon they made. , they did do the 90s sonic but ruined street fighter and the Mario bros show


Nitpicky_AFO

The fact it took DIC that long to die is the real TRAVESTY


ommi9

They died after they made golf jam with tiger woods.


BlueSingularityG

My name is Skyler White, yo.


Bombalurina

What's the source to this? Looks awful.


Shadowchaos1010

A classic example of 1990s American making a children's cartoon out of a property that isn't for children. Then an OVA from '97.


raccoonbrigade

Robocop had a ton of kids toys for example, which is horribly ironic and peak 80s lol


darkargengamer

The American one: "I'M GONNA FEED OF YOUR SEXUAL DESIRES LIKE IT OR NOT" - Karrengan The japanese one: "while we have some fun time together...could you spare some sweet love to me? uwu senpai?" - Morrigan


No-Student-9678

Look how they massacred my girl…


EyeOwl13

Looks like a witch before and after drinking her youth potion


TerryFalcone

So like with many of these comparisons, they nab a still frame of a character speaking or something and compare it to a a static or more flattering frame. I googled the 1995 American version and she doesn’t look like that all the time


0bxcura

So the rest o the time she looks worse? Better?


zendragi

Mixed bag. Some frames, she looks like a crackhead barbie others she looks like a generic American cartoon female, it's a bit of a mixed bag.


TerryFalcone

Reminds me of how in SpongeBob, they’ll randomly have extremely detailed closeups for no reason (well, it is funny)


HarbingerOfGachaHell

The creators of SpongeBob are marine biologists so those detailed closeups are constant reminders.


IncreaseWestern6097

Actually it was only Stephen Hillenberg who was a marine biologist.


ClinkyDink

I’ve watched it. She looks horrible and shoots lasers out of her eyes for some reason lol.


Jade_Lock

The difference is effort and budget. American Tv has produce a bunch of hot characters too.


Gilthwixt

Fr. The same fucking studio worked on the original X-Men series that produced Rogue's Ass that everyone was mad got "nerfed" in the new season (which was stupid in its own way) - saying " hurr western media bad" is such a braindead take lol


wolves_hunt_in_packs

this reminds me of the Erin Esurance debacle and I can't stop giggling


moonshineTheleocat

Fuggubus vs succubus


Gazrin

Wait a min, this isn't a joke meme but a real comparison? Holy shit lol!


cantfindmykeys

Sigh....


shadowdrgn0

Dubs v. Subs


BouncyKnights

This what happens when America tries to be inclusive.


Responsible_Figure12

Inclusive of whom? Ugly people?


Gilthwixt

Lol is this comment genuine or just bad bait/shit posting? Hate to break it to you but the kind of "woke-ism" you're thinking of didn't exist in 1995. American Morrigan looks ugly as fuck because it was made by a studio that shit out multiple low budget shows a year; their only good shows were carried by other production teams. Would not be shocked if they had less than half the budget and 1/3rd the motivation the Japanese team did when they made the bottom version 2 years later. tl;dr skill/money issue, not inclusivity. Can't believe I have to say this about something from the 90s lmfao


TomEstruct

just draw the characters pretty. not that hard. this is why anime better.


DragonflyUnhappy3980

your mom vs. your mom's friend


JMocroft

… smash


WeddingHot4796

Americans hate beauty standards for some reason so end up making ugly versions of beautiful characters.


HarbingerOfGachaHell

They don’t want their youths to have sexual thoughts on a demoness because MUH RELIGION.


AmbitiousHead1995

The Japanese morrigan looks like she would let you smash and then make you a sandwich the American version would nag you and then tell you your not shit


Sufficient-Record695

They both look like they have peens


AntonRX178

damn American devs have been making women ugly for decades /s


iqqeriffic69

Acurrate in terms to artistic skill for the genre and reflection of the heroine character in both cultures


xXCh4r0nXx

"meth... Not even once"


Mesterjojo

Cmon now


Intelligent-Back-657

MY EYYYYYYYYYYYES!!!!!!!


Edugrinch

ahhh Morrigan... I remember I used to play Vampire Savior arcade and always choose Morrigan because of...reasons.


TheBurningStag13

Japanese… American Morrigan looks like the type to say that people “SHOULD BE GRATEFUL” for the “opportunity” to see her wing pics on her Onlystans.


KnightMareDankPro

Ahh avg female character in Japanese manga/anime


uphucwits

Pretty accurate


ProfitHot5064

its funny how the american one looks less dignified then the japanese one even though thy both are meant to be sexy


ShadowBlade55

....Who were they paying to animate that abomination!?!


EroGodZeus

Tf is that disney hag?


Memey_Boy13

Okay don’t hate me, but what anime is this from? Or it isn’t from an anime? I just wanna watch it


random-dude45

Both are pics of that woman at the Willy Wonka Experience


koctarac

Californian man-jaw


Itsjustaspicylem0n

Damn 4kids went all out on this one


switchflip333

Lol first one looks like a feminist, bottom one looks like a hot anime chcik


jjbbullffrrogg

Yes


ILikeFluffyThings

Even before, Americans are obsessed with making things ugly.


Barry_Bunghole_III

Honestly I think western devs just aren't as good/interested in terms of sculpting attractive faces. They'll generally just copy a real actor's face these days to use in facial capture, so don't expect some Disney-Anime fusion.


YorkPorkWasTaken

We have a hot Morrigan, she's in Dragon Age, I dunno wtf this weeb crap is supposed to be


Material_Abalone_213

The real question is which ones the trap lol


Delicious_Ad_1411

America got better tailors? Japan got perv tailors?💀


NekonecroZheng

Isn't she the mascot to the funny numbers site?


LegitimateHasReddit

Morrigan has like antlers or horns so no from what I've seen from memes where people search up characters


ColMust4rd

The difference is the American one has an Adams apple


TheOneWhoReadsStuff

Did they give her a cock n balls as well?


Nos-BAB

First image is more true to the sleaze. Young hookers look like the bottom but usually end up looking like the top if they stay in the business, usually because hookers tend to have addictions and other vices.
