![]() ![]() She smacks the knife out of Becky's hand before things get violent, and seems to be quite nerdy like Norville, but not to the same delusional degree. Only Sane Man: Ello is probably the only character to be a slightly panicked witness to the mad actions of the rest of the cast.Nice Girl: Ello is unequivocally the kindest person in the pilot she doesn't even bother insulting Jesse after being bullied by her, and unlike Becky, never insults Norville.Notably, when she no longer intervenes, Becky drag's Jesse's Flock into a purgatorial torture dimension, although, in her defense, the situation was crazy as it was. Morality Chain: She seems to prevent Becky from doing anything particularly stupid or violent, as she slaps Becky's hand when the latter pulls out a knife on Jesse.Ello is chubby, but the only one who points it out is the Alpha Bitch Jesse, whose bullying of her for it is portrayed as a bad thing. Fat Best Friend: Downplayed and deconstructed.Psycho Knife Nut: She was moments away from carving Jesse up for daring to sit on her bench.Perpetual Frowner: Becky never smiles, even when she gets what she wants. ![]() When the eye underneath is revealed, it sends Jesse and her posse into an alternate dimension. Peek-a-Bangs: Becky's hair covers one eye.She becomes a restless spirit with the goal of getting revenge on Jesse, and is capable of both possessing another person and dragging Jesse and her friends into purgatory and forcing them to experience a horrific vision. Our Ghosts Are Different: Becky dies and goes to purgatory (or "Purg"), a desolate void with a variety of dead spirits.Must Have Nicotine: Becky is clearly addicted to smoking cigarettes, as she mentions wearing a nicotine patch in middle school.Also, unlike Jesse, Becky never attacks people who presumably did nothing to her first, as she only targets Norville because he was indirectly responsible for her death, and Jesse for stealing her bench for literally no reason. Jerk with a Heart of Gold: While "heart of gold" is pushing it, Becky stands up for Ello when Jesse is picking on her for her weight, and she clearly cares a lot for her best friend.She later uses her rear to assist in the girl's mental torture. Hartman Hips: Becky has a "fat sit" which earns her some extra mockery from Jessica.Hair-Trigger Temper: The entire plot of the pilot centers around her getting revenge on a few girls who sat on her favorite bench.Fiery Redhead: Becky has auburn hair and a temper to match.Her attitude before and after death is largely the same. Dissonant Serenity: More like dissonant annoyance, as Becky is unfazed by being killed.Becky's friend buying a Ouija board so she could talk to her in the afterlife is one of the most adorable things I've ever seen.Becky: ( sarcastically) No, it's the goddamned Tooth Fairy. Did I mention that I think this pilot needs to get a full series? So yeah, this was absolutely amazing, From the amazing and stylish art style to the grim and edgy but still hilarious writing, The stereotypical, but still very fun characters and interactions, Becky Prim is one pilot episode you shouldn't miss! And I'm sorry. And even though the characters are basically just your standard everyday highschool stereotypes, I still liked them a lot, Becky (Voiced by Karl Hadrika) being your everyday angsty teenager, Her shy friend Ello, Popular girl Jessica, Norville the dorky nerd, Yeah, they're basically stereotypes that needs to be fleshed out more and a full series is exactly what's gonna fix this issue. My guy, Karl Hadrika (Who have worked on SpongeBob SquarePants and the new Animaniacs) is a master of his craft, and he really knows what he's doing, He's very promising, Especially as a writer, His art style has that very cool, nostalgic, laid back, early 2000s feel cartoons used to have that I can't get enough of, While still managing to look new and fresh, It's really cool to see. Even though this short was more of a glorified storyboard than anything, I still think Becky Prim is one of the best cartoon pilots I've ever seen in a long time, So full of charm and character, I can't actually believe this pilot didn't get green lit. When I first saw this pilot on YouTube, I didn't really think much about it, I just thought It was another by the numbers pilot episode for a cartoon that has a lot of cool ideas and concepts and some cute character design and nothing else, but oh boy. ![]()
