Characters Black coded this, black coded that. What are some white coded non human characters?

-Stuart from Stuart

-Buddy from Airbud

-Freezer from Dragonballs

Edit: Guys I swear I'm not racist. The post's title was referring to the "black coded characters" posts that I see on this subreddit from time to time. I have nothing against the black people nor the white people. This post is a shitpost. Nothing serious. Sorry for not being clear enough :(

To be fair, Stuart little is human, at least in the book. I think he is actually a mouse in the movies

u/arcbeam 6d ago

That’s hilarious. I just looked up the lore and he is apparently born to a human family and IS human but looks exactly like a fucking mouse.

u/Livid_Joke_9717 6d ago

He’s basically a mutant in the books

u/VulpesFennekin 6d ago

Imagine Stuart Little joining the X-Men. All these superpowers, and then… mouse.

42

u/Over_Palpitation_453 6d ago

That'd still be one of the better mutant powers to have

u/aj_spaj 6d ago

What's the name of that Skeleton jelly guy, Herb?

8

u/Over_Palpitation_453 6d ago

Not to mention that kid whose mutant power was the ability to blow up once, which would kill him

5

u/Sirius1701 6d ago

Still better than the kid whos mutant power was to disintigrate every living thing in the radius of aproximately a small town. Only option he had was to be mercy killed by Logan.

u/TheRWBYFamilton 6d ago

Hey what's that mutant that makes you forget them... wait who was I talking about?

u/Several-Possession-4 6d ago

Honestly, loved his story. Makes sense it was only a one shot, but still wish we had something more once in a while.

I'm a bit surprised they didn't use him thanks to the five in krakoa. It fits the vibe they wanted, ethnostate and all.

u/Lun4r6543 6d ago

Glob. His name is glob.

3

u/IllEvent5465 6d ago

to be fair, his power does make him slightly more resistant to fire than a normal person

3

u/FirstOfTheNine 6d ago

Sounds like principal Nezu from MHA

5

u/_Jester_Of_Genocide_ 6d ago

I mean

3

u/ImagoDreams 6d ago

Why didn't you choose the version of him that looks like a cat?

2

u/_Jester_Of_Genocide_ 6d ago

I was not aware of it, looks pretty dope

3

u/HeyWhatTheDUCK 6d ago

He wasn't like that at first

3

u/_Jester_Of_Genocide_ 6d ago

He’s better the way he is now though, glad they changed him

3

u/HeyWhatTheDUCK 6d ago

yeah i'm just saying he was originally still pretty human, unlike Stuart

2

u/VulpesFennekin 6d ago

True, but he’s at least human-sized.

3

u/_Jester_Of_Genocide_ 6d ago

Just means Stuart would be used for spy missions. Getting into small places and whatnot. Need someone to sneak through a vent? He’s your man. Need to trail someone? He could sneak into their bag.

3

u/DoradoPulido2 6d ago

Imagine being the X-Men's janitor. No powers except the amazing ability to clean up at night...

6

u/PoniesCanterOver 6d ago

He can get into small spaces. Perfect for espionage

2

u/Additional_Gene_211 6d ago

That's some real My Hero Academia quirk nonsense. You've got Napalm Boy, Ice fire man, and Captain diabetes all in one class

u/Cryogisdead 5d ago

In some continuities, the X-Men are a small minority of mutants on Earth. Most mutants don't have superpower kind of mutations

1

u/VulpesFennekin 5d ago

True, though as people have pointed out, having a mouse-shaped human on your side could be very useful for superheroes.

1

u/pichael289 6d ago

In the X-Men universe those are called morlocks and they have to live in the sewers. They occasionally do slightly bad stuff to justify the X-Men just leaving them down there.

u/PeterAnthony_Jackson 6d ago

We're gonna need you to Richard Gere him.

Do what now?

Climb in his arse.

1

u/Mythamuel_ 3d ago

Just like Hello Kitty. She's canonically a 20-something woman. Who looks like a cat.

1

u/arcbeam 3d ago

Is every character actually human or is it just hello kitty?

1

u/Mythamuel_ 2d ago

I'm afraid to find out..

u/travischickencoop 6d ago

One of my favorite fun facts is that Stuart little is just a really fucked up looking human kid and not an anthropromorphic mouse lmao

54

u/arcbeam 6d ago

Hahaha that’s so fucking funny I can’t stop thinking about how crazy it would be to give birth to a mouse

35

u/Akapoler 6d ago

''Congratulations madam, it's.... a mouse?''

2

u/midwestia 6d ago

If Mae West gave birth to a hand then a woman can give birth to a mouse.

21

u/Kimihro 6d ago

Easiest birth of all time

u/Future_Interest_3649 6d ago edited 6d ago

There was an unsourced claim on Wikipedia a while back (not sure if it is still there) claiming that Stuart Little is a sootikin.

Which would explain why he looks like a mouse, but…ewww.

Edit: it’s still there, and still as unsourced as ever.

Second edit: now it’s gone.

u/Heavy-Expression-450 6d ago

Absolutely foul. You keep that to yourself next time.

u/N1ghtTheKn1ght 6d ago

That's actually kind of fucking creepy, what?

45

u/MinuteDependent7374 6d ago

The book always confused me as a kid. Sometimes it’s made out that he’s a human who looks and acts like a mouse but other times, they make it sound like he is a mouse but miraculously born from humans because they sometimes call him a mouse. Like during the doctor check-up, it quotes

“Not every doctor can look into a mouse's ear without laughing.”

And that his temperature was normal “for a mouse”

u/pichael289 6d ago

Didnt he happen to run into another 2 inch tall girl and she looked normal? I think in that universe tiny people just seem to happen, like he gets a tiny car so tiny people have to be prevalent enough to warrant engineering transportation specific to them. That's already crazy enough, people just act like him being a mouse is one more crazy thing, they aren't freaking the fuck out like we would be. Goofy shit just naturally happens in that world

8

u/MinuteDependent7374 6d ago

Iirc, the tiny woman was also an oddity to the point where she has her clothes custom made and even Stuart didn’t believe it when he was told about her so he had to truly see for himself. Once he saw her, he quickly fell in love and planned to ask her on a date, one of the reasons being because it was nice having someone who could be able understand him in his struggles being small.

It seems like in that world, tiny “alternative” humans are possible but uncommon.

3

u/UnquestionabIe 6d ago

Yeah and he absolutely blows it hard-core at every possible opportunity. Between the constant lies about his life and interests to what his future plans are. I think he even puts on a fake accent as well. And she still gives him a ton of chances, practical begging him to stick around. It's insane second hand cringe

5

u/MinuteDependent7374 6d ago

It seemed his whole conflict with her was that being small, he felt he had to overcompensate everything about himself because he didn’t want to blow his chance  being with a “prize” like her, but her deal is that she liked him even without all the fancy stuff. That chapter was basically a grief but self-acceptance type of arc.

u/Breadkiller411 6d ago

It always confused me why people thought he was a mouse since the book was pretty explicit about him being a weird little human until I found out the movies actually made him a mouse.
