Evolution of Dark Queen from Battletoads (1991 - 2020) 

dats is a reimagination xd, but this new dark queen is not the tipique generick badguy, is some more deep.

@@SIEGARTAVATAR I think this new Dark Queen is the tipical generic character for a CN or Nickelodeon show.

We already go a hot Dark Queen. It was Sindel from MK

@@SIEGARTAVATAR I hope this is sarcasm

I feel like the line "chug my dump truck" would work well with The DQ's old design.

I agree with Jeff.

DrMecha whose Jeff?

@@AvelierPlays probrably a game developer

Jeff is a Charakter in Battletoads 2020.

Who does? Her redesign reminds me of that lady from The Incredibles.

Its so tragic

Blame that on Micro$oft.

This is really, REALLY bad...

Hey man, just because they changed her design doesn't mean it was a bad game.

@@Nicky2414 You don't understand. Microsoft fucked up big time!

Either that or She-Zow. Still, she's decently written and her voice actress puts on a good performance.

I think is called "Desexualizing a character" and is totally a thing now.

Roughly as funny, too

@@mauriciorodriguez4996 I miss the old dark queen, this one looks like some MLP oc abortion.

@@mauriciorodriguez4996 it's kind of weird the extent the went with it. Like she gives off a completely different vibe now

90s Dark Queen, someone a guy would want to date despite being evil. 2020s Dark Queen, edgy teen wannabe that should be killed with fire...where’s Godzilla?

Classic Dark Queen - Modeled after Elvira and resembles MIB2's Serleena. Rise of the Battletoads Dark Queen - Is watered-down into a goth Emma Stone.

Nah, it's to appease the new body image hate-anything-that's-sexy look. I took a walk on campus today : middrif revealing rolls of fat all around. Even on Asians. There's being comfortable with your body, but there's also making others uncomfortable with it. Also, looking like that at >20, I can only see what the diabeetus future has in store.

"If youve been a fan for 30 years and dont like the new design, fuck you! ... Why isnt our game selling?*

Chugging her dump truck is g-rated? What the hell kinda universe am I in?

@@jayjay86443 the old insults were g rated

Everyone misses the 90s

Exactly. And also teen titans go

What's with this style of cartoon just ruining everything it touches. It's like a parasite or something.

@@ninjiango9126 it's soulless money pits. It's not made by people who are passionate about the source but by people who view it as another job. They don't want to offend anyone who might throw money at it so let's make it bright and colorful super happy fun time come on buy/watch us! Look at how fun this looks SPEND MONEY SPEND MONEY CONSUME.

Its called "CalArts"

A reject from the Negaverse? Seriously, her new outfit looks like Queen Beryl's generals from the first season of Sailor Moon, and that's not who she is. Not. One. Bit.

They went for a fusion of the Kim Possible villains: Dr Drakken + Shego = 2020's Dark Queen.

I would happily pay for DLC just to have her old design back.

@@chrisfarleyshrek4347 Unless one of the other Battletoads can join Smash since Rash made his DLC Comeback In Killer Instincts, then clearly Zit or Pimple needs to join but I too shall pay good money jsut o see her old design again.

Joey Margolian Same here. If Rash was a guest star in Smash 5, I’d pay good money for it. Or if they bring back the original good looking sprites, then I’ll buy this game.

LOL. RIP your friends.

+Pgcrooner VA Ooh, I know which one it is! It's Rise of the Battletoads Dark Queen!

Ironic considering how vulgar is her speech in the 2020 version

@@Noperare And she also flips the bird (which is pixellated).

@@chadwarden1179 Sexism is worst

Sexism is a word used by people who can't get laid and women sexually look at men all the time.This is what happens when to many degenerates get a voice as well.

Not only that ut if we wanted certain things ,we need our parents consent and they were more involved in our lives.I however see it the opposite way,they're to kid friendly and certain themes are not for kids,plus plz stop making material for teens and up look like kiddy shit,its not for kids and because they look a certain way kids will try to watch it,enough already.

What are you talking about there are only 3 Indiana Jones movies

Ever since Crackdown-grade 3.

1991: Dark Queen Lvl.100 2020: Dark Queen Lvl.5

Imagine if those feminists played the older games. "How dare they make you hit a woman aaaaa"

She got flanderized. She went from a tyrannical, sexy dictator to an immature man child.

Fortunately, the game have been dealing with the worst sales among the franchise.

@@rudolof8540 not surprising. Though the game is cheap around $20.00 which is worth it's price tag. But I had a feeling this one is going to be a flop. And it's sad to say that we probably won't get another Battletoads any time soon until a new developer comes in and hopefully they'll be more respectful and more faithful to its source time (hopefully by then, there would be no more SJWs controlling gaming).

@@elmono6299 A big and selfmade fan game can fix this issue easily. Its like AM2R to Samus returns . Even if Samus returns is an official metroid , its somehow uninteresting and fairly bland besides AM2Rs colorful and different places that has focus and meaning in its design. And i think we fans know much better what we want from a new Battletoads game.

@@Snyperwolf91 yeah I agree

This.

No I'm pretty sure it's just dark queen

@The Last Thing You See Before You Die wow if it looks ok to you. You must be blind

@@RU-vidApestaACACA you being way too aggressive on the game

@@austinfranklin2861 There is nothing agressive about it. Those zoads are not nearly the same. The old ones were 90s strong and cool. Today, they are some crazed fantasy of a wild feminist. Some say that the art is the representation of the age it was made in and this genre shows it perfectly. People have gone insane in the past years.

Not really, there is tons of violence and fart and shit jokes in the new game. So why not add scantly clad queen?

@@SwiftNimblefoot Because we live the in the sad PC era with feminist hypocrites. We can have male chads everywhere but once a beautiful women appears she get axed.

@@SwiftNimblefoot it wouldn't work with the new art style, it would be really out of place for it.

However, her angry outbursts reveal her creative side. I would love to hear this queen's voice in other Battletoads games. I remembered seeing the videos of what if Link spoke in Legend of Zelda fan videos. It will be interesting to HEAR her talk in other Battletoads games instead of us seeing the word crawl.

@@SwiftNimblefoot thats what i want to know, there is alot of death and violence in this game, and talking down on big topics like religion and racism, the design actually seems to go against that idea.

.....You do realize that Rayman Origins was made in French, right?

DrMecha I was talking about the artwork.

@@DrMecha france

@@overlordextremegameexor way to miss the joke.

that would be okay enough. she was depowered, so a Midna thing could work. the design of the new one is just...okay.

LOL

Nice

What about rise of the battle toads

@@omarolmosstudios7060 naa rise it´s good

@@RobertHart87 lmao

@Artuurs Z. I HATE mondays.

So a Text Avery cartoon? Meh, she at least is more attractive than those guys. NOT SAYING I'LL BANG THO. EWW.

The problem today isn't in making women attractive. It's in making them actually look like women. Most western artists these days can't even do that right; not without getting flak from the reeeeing minority that don't even consume the products they make.

GNackers53 HA your words don’t affect me, I can’t read

@@GNackers53 Kind of this. Even if the costume is bland I don't think she would have received as much backlash had she actually looked like the Dark Queen proportionally or even like a more normal lady. The hyper conservative outfit would still be a little much but she would at least be recognizable.

O maldito feminismo

They made Tifa Lockheart flat as a plank to appeal to western audiences. I See the trouble.

^ THIS!!!

It truly is a huge wet gross slap to the badass Battletoads.

The Battletoads were riding high on 90s energy, one look back shows how dumb they kind of were. I mean they kind of knew back then as well. The battle toads get out of some pretty sticky situations because, and I quote "Because they're the heroes of this game, they escape totally unscathed" Its actually great that the developers are able to look back and make fun of past ridiculousness and still make a competent and funny game out of it. Sure the times have changed and this new game really screams these new sensibilities, I prefer them because we have a better understanding of character instead of black and sexy= evil.

XerKoro neo why not roll over so they can stomp on the other side of your face?

@@untunedguitar45 Congratulations, you failed the test!

Definitely an insult and mockery

It's lampshading and strawmen and their worst

That line was so cringe

it's sad that the guys who make these bad designs use the franchise to send their messages against the critic

You think Millenials wouldn’t have appreciated tits? Have you seen the W.A.P. video?

I really hope this dumb phase of games and cartoons ends soon.

@@SwiftNimblefoot pos ya esta en sus ultimas

MegaMetalManX you right in they want the 90’s and anything like that too stop existing.. they don’t mind something from the different decades it’s just gonna be something they like..

Even TTG doesn't cover every inch of skin under the neckline. Hell even the most SJW cartoons out there didn't go this crazy.

Flekk Bone Gnawer in his defense.. he doesn’t think they are evil.. just annoying control freaks who can’t handle that not everyone likes the change of theirs beliefs in the media.. it’s like if a restaurant who is known for theirs good meat is forced to only make vegan products no matter if they want it or not.. most people don’t have problems with SJW or feminist if they don’t being jerks about it .. like personality I like the new She-Ra and Mad Max Fury Road is a great movie.. it’s when they act out like condescending, arrogant self righteous hypocrites a**holes people has problems with them and theirs projections and it’s goes the same way.. Batman vs Superman was hate and that’s a anti-SJW movies if there ever was one.. so it’s about attitude and deliver a good product.. and get over the line and sharing ideas without being condescending, arrogant self righteous hypocrites a**holes no matter what side we talking about.. please take care and have a great day 😊 .. ps sorry if I didn’t attack the other side so much I am in a difficult mindset with not healthy thoughts right now I not proud of so I not having a balance mindset right now..

OMG

AVGN: "Wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa"

The sad thing is that some female characters in SU had breasts, cleavage and defined hips. Somehow new Queenie makes SU look downright sexy by comparison.

More Steven Universe with even less budget.

If Battletoads Was In Stevan Universe they Should Make Crosover Episode With Battletoads

@OtakuSnake I think you mean "From the makers of Teen Titans GO!"

@@SuperFriendlyUser2407 Thundercats ROAR and Teen Titans GO are more accurate representations of this. They even did crossover with them once to mock critics.

Blaze didn't just suddenly get a jacket. She got her jacket BACK. She had one in the first game. Not your point, I know, just wanted to clarify. And I don't know if Battletoads 2020 is trying to grab a younger audience. It's possible, and given that it's been 24 years since the last game, there are lots of Xbox owners who weren't even alive that last time anyone cared about Battletoads, but I imagine they're just trying to stick to the idea that they're essentially Saturday morning cartoons. The original games aped the vibe of shows like TMNT (obviously) but also He-Man and G.I. Joe because that's what was around then. This one looks more in line with the cartoons that are on today. I kinda dig the new looks, Queen included. I honestly always thought she looked out of place in the old ones, and would have made way more sense as a Double Dragon villain, which actually had dominatrix characters. She finally looks like she belongs in the same universe as the Toads now. That's my take, anyway.

@@printthelegends ahh crap, I look at that sprite and don't even think of it as a jacket since it's closed and just looks like red sprites lol. I forget about SoR 1 a lot due to that being my least favorite of them. as for battletoads... yeah I can agree with this. it seems that's what they wanted vibe wise. I feel the Queen needed something in the middle, but swaying more towards what they did in this game. she's just a weird 90's cliche in the old games look wise to me. and it's 2020, they weren't keeping that look lol. but she reminds more of N. Cortex lol... and I don't think that's entirely the right vibe either. thus me feeling a middle ground would've been nice

I have no nostalgia for Battletoads,either,as I never played the games and was never into them. But now as an aspiring comic book writer and artist,I'm going to have a parody of the Battletoads(which I guess ALSO makes them a parody of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, as the Battletoads were a rip-off of The TMNT)and a parody of The Dark Queen supporting characters in a Living Dead zombie comic that I'll be doing for my version of Heracles from Greek mythology(based on the Steve Reeves version from the old Steve Reeves Hercules movie from the 1950s that are now in the public domain). And I'm deliberately going to have the parody of The Dark Queen look and dress like how she originally did in her early appearances and I'm also going to poke fun at the 2020 version of The Dark Queen in the comic. I just feel like that kind of politically correct and woke nonsense that appears to be seeping into every available aspect of pop culture nowadays is dying to be made fun of and mocked! But hopefully,I won't get sued! Ha! Ha! But I don't think I will get sued because my original characters are parodies OF parodies(as again,the Battletoads,themselves,already ARE a rip-off).

Go woke, go broke

To please sjws

I dunno, but ain’t no complaints here.

Oh sweet summer child...

@@malacara1335 Don't ruin their innocence. XD

@@kildaver he's making fun of the redesign

@@JordiumZ I know. And, I'm reminded of the core meaning of Rule 34, and that porn based on even her new design is inevitable.

@@kildaver Wanna place bets? I got 15 on the scat fetishists emerging.

She must have become one of Walter Whites customers

They said it was to promote "body diversity" whatever that means. I thought her look was pretty unique already. Ah well.

@@InfiniteTranscendence "Body diversity" then change the frogs to fat men...

@@CommanderTato Exactly. That will never happen though.

@@InfiniteTranscendence "Body diversity"? In which way is she "diverse"? She looks like a generic character in a generic CN show now, that's not "body diversity", it's "I don't want my evil, dark character to be actractive so I say it's for body diversity". I don't even care for her but this design is the most generic ever.

@@Dragorosso95 Her look was much more iconic before and even SoR4 didn't take the PC route with their female characters. It's crazy that Battletoads once had M rated level violence and themes in the arcade and was SJW'ed into this with the Dark Queen.

It's election year, they got to push out as much propaganda if the evil overlords don't steal the election.

Ahah :p

@@jess6831 thank you for your reply.

@@simonbelmont65 :)

@@jess6831 just out of curiosity, are you a female?

@@simonbelmont65 Yep

Hpesoj Ogladih And arcade version too

it has the flash animation look! you know what im talking about :D

It kind of looks like a cheap Canadian cartoon.

Computer animation has never remotely achieved the visual quality and imagination of the old cels and the artists who worked with them

@@TRJ2241987 i agree. but still it could have looked better in terms of character design. i mean just look at hollow knight and every indie title that exists!

@@TRJ2241987 I mean yeah but games like Cuphead and Hollow Knight at least looked good and they were from far smaller companies.

Piska yeah, how dare they? Ruining the best franchise ever been made.

In terms of funniness?, understandable, in terms of design? absolutely not
