I love how Charlie went from being star of the team, to so average he pulls out to be assistant coach, to star and captain of the team, across the trilogy. Great consistent character development.
He was never really the star player, just an honest tryer with a passion for his team. His team first mentality and unwavering loyalty made him a great leader and captain. Like all honest tryers who are great leaders he went through some form slumps. His leadership and positive affect on team morale meant that when his form got so bad he couldn't make the team he was made assistant coach so his value wouldn't be lost. It was great, realistic character development. Glad you agree :thumbsu:

If I was to pick the glaring holes in a silly sports based movie made by Disney aimed at kids I would have gone this route:

I preferred Johnny Lawrence's other character Bart Taylor from the BMX movie RAD.
Dude, I was nostalging about BMX Bandits only this morning and RAD was mentioned. No way I'd expect to see it referenced twice in one day.

BMX Bandits was huuuuge when I was a kid. Even though we all noticed that they come out of the water slide dry!
Only recently did I realise that it is an Australian film. It all looked and sounded American to me when I was a kid.

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has passed away:(, bloody cancer at age 55



Nintendo and Mr Iwata's presidency copped a lot of shit from exiting the 'bleeding edge power' console race with Sony and Microsoft but you can't deny the charm and down to earth values their games and company has on the gaming industry.

Mr Iwata was a smart humble man, never afraid of taking industry risks or taking the piss out of himself to give enjoyment to gamers, his work put smiles on faces from every age, RIP may you legacy continue

Pfft.

If you're going to pick an honest trier, at least pick one with a bit of physical presence like Goldberg, or the bash bros.

Was the gamecube underrated?

Banksy was a real leader. The outsider who won over the hearts and minds of his team mates with a never say die attitude, and exquisite skillset.
Now you're talking, but I see him like I see Robbie Gray, sublime player who performs better away from the spotlight of leadership.

I love this conversation

Also had to come back from injury like Gray.

Look at the difference he made after he left the varsity team to rejoin the warriors/ducks in D3. Adam Banks is the real star of the trilogy.

Another thing I lol at in D3 are Charlie's metal shirts, I distinctly remember him wearing a Pantera one while trying to pickup.
