I don’t get the reference

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I kinda get it in that this is a drawing of Homer Simpson don in an anime/manga style. And Mr sparkles was an og(ish) Simpsons episode centering on homers likeness to a Japanese soap brand's mascot/logo.

There was an episode where Homer found his face on laundry detergent or something, turns out it was a combination of a fish and a light bulb through a corporate merger, in Japan. One of the classic Simpsons episodes.

The yellow man is from the simpsons

It's from the show Invincible.

I'm not sure that explains the reference, unless the person has also seen the show invincible, and I assume the specific episode this is referencing

I mean, I don't know that there's much more to explain. There's a group of badass supes that are a whole lot of trouble. But you kinda get the impression that they're trouble from the picture anyways.

So if you haven't seen it, I don't know that there's much more to explain. I could go into WHO some of them are imitating like the skull, Thragg, or Conquest. But then I'm just explaining the show. I don't know that any of that is relevant to explain this except to confirm that they're directly mixed with characters from the show (bad guys).
