Eric was the most heroic person in the show, honestly.

>everyone views him as a whiner and a coward
>constantly steps in to save everyone's life

Seems like the writers were trying to subvert it.

He is as heroic as the others, not really more.

But the creators were forced by the network to have the "complainer is always wrong" character, and they hated it. This is why Eric usually have very sane remarks regarding the situations, it was their way to get back.


Also this show is insanely popular on Brazil.

Also, one of the writers went on to work on Garfield and Friends and skewered "group is always right, complainer is always wrong" mandate further.

Arnold was the only kid that seemed to realize how horribly dangerous and unnatural all this black magic shit was and all the other kids shit on him for it constantly.

He just didn't want to get eaten by a giant octopus or risk explosive decompression or have children running around in his kidneys, is that so wrong?

And then they wonder why kids fall under bad influence and start sniffing glue or whatever.

He is literally the only one who was willing to at any point lay down their lives and their own chance of freedom.

It's D&D, so I'm sure it's popular nearly everywhere. It actually got an official comic book adaptation back in the day in Spain.

Well yeah, soccer moms tried to push the "stick with the herd" mentality on their kids through cartoons, which probably made it a lot easier for them to fall for peer pressure. Ironic.

Brazil until some years ago still aired it on tv, hell, it might even still air.

The creators of the show commented how insanely popular it is here. The funny thing, is that the name here is 'Dragon's Cavern", and most people have no idea that it is conected to D&D.

>>91427258
Can confirm. It used to air once in a while in Globo, together with other old stuff like He-Man and the like, that is until Globo decided to skewer its cartoon blocks in favor of cultural marxist bullshit.

>>91427397
It still air on Gloob.

Parent groups or whatever you call them back in the day forced the channel or studio that D&D aired through to have the message of "Always follow the group" and Eric always got shit on because he questioned things, which the Parent Groups wanted.

Except the writers realized how fucking stupid not having your own thoughts and ideas was and purposely made Eric always right in each episode. Whenever he complained he'd still get shit on, but his complaints always turned out right.

Why are parent groups retarded?

Eric vs Marshe

Who is most /our guy in a fantasy world/?

>>91427548
It's not just Parent Groups, it's whatever group the studios decide have the "important" voice, and when those group figure that out they take advantage of it to push their own agendas.

>>91427548
Cultural marxism. Always follow the mainstream, what the majority wants, no matter how insane or bullshit it is

>make a cartoon based on a shitty tabletop game

Didn't they all end up dying?

>>91425021
I'm pretty sure that not just Eric sacrificed a chance for freedom.

In Child of Stargazer Diana not only gave up on returning home, but also on a godhood.

Being a liberal douche is, by definition, being the voice of reason.
