CineTV contest: Character most like you - Kronk

untitled.gif

I was going to talk about another character at first, the topic was about Bojack Horseman and his bad traits, mental afflictions and generational traumas. I did in fact write that post... but it got heavy and waaaay too personal fast, and I don't think I'm ready to share those thoughts and memories with the internet yet.

I missed the last three contests and promised myself that I wouldn't miss this one! So instead let's talk about a more lighthearted character:

The new groove is KRONK

The Emperor's New Groove is an amazing Disney movie, sadly it wasn't as well received as it should leaving a 11 million dollars loss for the studio on domestic box office.

Don't cry little Kronk, nowadays the movie is a classic and the overseas box office was able to turn the movie into a profit

Probably the fact that I watched it dubbed in Brazilian Portuguese must influence a lot my opinion of the movie (we do great voice overs here in the south 😉). But nonetheless the movie is surviving the test of time well and it is still a blast to watch, with a lot of funny moments for the whole family.

A praise oriented person with a heart of gold and a desire to help!

We are first introduced to Kronk as the goofball sidekick of the movie's antagonist Yzma. After what probably was centuries (judging by her face) working as the royal advisor she is tired of being behind the curtains and wants power. And so to reach the throne there is nothing she wouldn't do.

Kronk starts as a comic relief plus part of plot device. Being a villain henchmen he is tasked with gruesome deeds that he can't take himself to do, also we see him helping others without being asked to. For an "evil" dude he is a pretty good guy.

He is more of a nice dude under the wrong influence, that's further illustrated on the second movie "Kronk's new groove" (not as good as the first) and wants to make people around him happy, even if it means throwing away the current llama emperor or suddenly manning a restaurant so others can eat.

He's responsible for some great jokes by being clumsy, sometimes dense or breaking the forth wall, which are things I relate a lot in how my sense of humor is and my way of doing comedy. I try to make my posts and writing something entertaining, I want people to have fun while reading and absorbing new content! In a way the same as Kronk trying to make those close to him happy... and by some replies I guess I'm getting there!
