Blaze is a douchebag

It can't just be me, right? I've recently started watching Blaze and the Monster Machines with my DS and I hate Blaze. He's a sanctimonious hypocrite and a smug bastard.

For starters, does anyone but Blaze ever win? No, the answer is no. He never helps anyone do anything but follow his ass across the finish line.

Second, how is "blazing speed" not cheating? No one else has blazing speed, so why the fuck does he?

Third, (and most annoying), why is he always best at everything? There's a fire and Blaze is a better firefighter than all the actual firefighters. Blaze goes to Animal Island on a lark and gets elected fucking KING of Animal Island. Why not an actual animal that, you know, LIVES there? Blaze goes to Velocityville, turns into a racecar and beats all the other racecars. Blaze becomes a robot and is the best robot, etc.

I understand that it's a STEM show, but what about teamwork? Why does nothing good happen unless Blaze is involved? I hate Blaze and I genuinely think he's not a good example, unless the example is to always be the very best and use everyone around you to get to the top, whilst pretending to be honest and trustworthy.

Is it just me?

It's not just you! I hate his smug horn too! Who has a horn that plays their own theme tune? A d-bag, that's who!
Plus, he has a human to help him - no one else has a human to help them, so clearly he has an unfair advantage and should be disqualified from races at the very least.

No wonder Crusher is so desperate - he never gets a chance to win anything, and even knowing how important it is to other people to win, Blaze never just graciously sits the race out to give other people a chance or let them have fun; no, he always just comes in and spanks it and then is super smug about winning while poor Crusher cries in the corner. Poor form!

Excellent points @BeanTownNancy Grin

I hadn't even considered his annoying horn or the fact that Crusher would have to cheat to win. Now that you've mentioned it, I feel a bit sorry for poor Crusher.

Yes! I agree he shouldn’t always win and blazing speed is definitely a cheat. I’d love to see him not win and then be a good sport about it.

BeatNickBeamer · 24/01/2019 20:47

YANBU. Can't stand the smug bastard.

Merryoldgoat · 24/01/2019 20:49

Are you kidding me? Blaze is the fucking dog’s bollocks!

A) The STEM stuff obviously

B) He’s all about relying on friends

C) He’s a fucking WINNER!

Also

‘Isaac Newton has the notion/It’s his first law of motion’

BEST. LYRIC. EVER.

No I've been thinking the same thing about the fact he always wins! I mean surely he could help someone else to win once in a while.
Unfortunately partners DC love him so I have to put up with his annoying face. He is slightly better than some other childrens characters though - yes peppa I'm looking at you
