The Emma at 18th place is from Ridonculous Race btw. The other at 36th is from the reboot.

I see a lot of people go on about their rivalry, how Duncan's an asshole for picking on Harold, even if the latter was in the wrong for rigging the votes against Courtney in Island. But I never hear people talk about their actual last on-screen conflict and how it lead to Harold being eliminated in Action.

On one hand, the situation was evidently emotionally devastating for Duncan, with him attempting to fill the void with the chameleon in the next episode and potentially the racoon he and Courtney had a custody battle over. Harold meanwhile never showed sympathy for his plight, nor did he try to defend himself for what transpired.

On the other hand, you could argue Duncan should have been more watchful of where Scruffy was and not brought him along during the challenge.

Going off the first few episodes Ive seen so far, Pinky Malinky is a fairly decent, inoffensive series that never made laugh out loud or had me hankering for more. You definitely feel the authenticity in that these three best friends making internet videos for the fun of it, heightened by each episode being composited as if it’s recorded with a shaky camera. Their antics range from fairly charming to eye-roll-worthy.

What I always found interesting was that Pinky Malinky is kind of historically significant for being the first streaming-exclusive NickToon, predating both the Rocko’s Modern Life and Invader Zim TV movies that came out in 2019, which is the same year the series premiered. Yet despite that, I almost never hear people bring this show up, even in comparison to its fellow NickToon peers in Glitch Techs or Fairly OddParents: A New Wish, which are also Netflix exclusives.

Again, if you haven’t seen it yet, check the series out on Netflix while still you still can. One can only hope people online manage to preserve the series for future generations to come, or that Nickelodeon puts the series on Paramount+.

Also, if you're wondering, "Carpal Tunnel of Love" would go in the Good tier, while "YouTube Copyright School" would go smack dab at the bottom.

The criteria for each tier goes as follows:

• Exalted- Individuals who stand as a symbol of moral virtue and kindness. They're not necessarily flawless, mind you, but they always go out of their way to lend a helping hand and see the good in others where most won't, even in spite of having nothing to personally gain from doing so.
• Good- Those who are all-around dedicated to preserving order for the setting they live in and protect those they care about. Be it through their ego or vindictiveness however, they display enough notable folly to prevent from being wholly admirable.
• Moral- Generally affable and good-natured people all around, but aren't too outgoing when it comes to heroics and/or charitability. That, or they're generally considered on the right end of the moral spectrum IN SPITE of their otherwise serious flaws.
• Neutral- Where the line between good and evil is blurred on a teetering scale of equal parts admirable actions and immoral indecency.
• Impure- Denoting who, while not necessarily "villainous" through-and-through, still aren't very pleasant individuals to be around for the most part.
• Evil- He/ she who is indisputably a villain, but is way off from being the worst of all time. Behind the cold, hard exterior, their lies a deep-seeded sense of vulnerability that leads the bad guy to show care towards others or put aside their differences with the hero every once in a while to stop a common foe.
• Vile- The SPECIAL kind of evil that just leaves you sick to your stomach, there is no depravity that these villains won't stoop to an ends means in order to get what they want. And for certain few, depravity itself is the end goal!

The answers with the most comments win.

Also feel like I should specify, this is judging the characters based on how they're portrayed in their home series. Not in the Death Battle episodes they star in.
