Brainy Smurf

Warning: this post contains harsh and mean spirited words. The tone may not be suitable for sensitive viewers and fragile modirators. Viewer discretion is advised.

Why? Just why?

Why did the reboot include the smurfway?? What is the point of this stupid object? Why does it exist? What is its purpose?

Is it supposed to be a quirk of Brainy smurf? An extension of his personality? Why only Brainy posses it!? Why not other smurfs!? WHY HIM SPECIFICALLY!?!?

What was the decision behind including a scooter? Was it to provide slapstick humor? Doesn't the scooter ruin Brainy smurf and decrease his intellect? No wonder why his capabilities got nerfed in Season 2 and 3! He spends too much time f**** around with his "precious" rather than doing something useful like assistanting Papa smurf, reading books, etc. In Season 1, Brainy was an intelligent, brave and capable smurf who saved the entire village plenty of times and protected his friends countless times.

But thanks to Season 2 and 3: he is reduced to a bookworm, scooter-obsessed guy.

The smurfway even destroys his relationships! Not only Brainy but literally everyone is in love with this abomination! Blossom, Lily, Smurfette, Storm, EVERYONE!!

Don't get me started on the episode "Where's my smurfway?" It drives me crazy in every way imaginable. If you thought that Grouchy, Dimwitty, Rowena, Bigmouth etc. Were all annoying? That's nothing! As soon as I saw the scooter, the second the image of the scooter reached my eyes, I lost it.

Anyways, here is a question for smurf fans. Do you think it was a good idea to give Brainy the smurfway? Was it a great addition or not? I know that the smurfway was introduced in the smurfs lost village movie. Please no need to point that out. But what does it indicate? What does it mean for Brainy's character? Does it mean that Brainy is so lonely that everyone ignores him and he created a coping mechanism? How sad!

Was it to be hip with the kids about how technology is progressing and how it is affecting our daily lives? Well, why only Brainy has it and no one else?

I geniuely need to know. And what are your thoughts on including the smurfway in the reboot?

The reboot has introduced pretty interesting concepts like smurfs with superpowers, Gargamel's family, Smurfette's new favorite sport and more. Some may contradict the franchise. Others seem great. The scooter is one of them.

"You made a rant over an object?"

Yes, I did.

So, I'd like to know what everyone thinks. Please forgive me if I sounded so stupid, immature and childish, ranting over a random object. Administrators, you can lock this post if I violated the rules or just comment it. I don't mean any harm. I just wanted to discuss.

I'd love to see an episode where Brainy has to chose between his glasses and his smurfway. I need to know what he values more in his life! YOU WILL NOT CONVINCE ME THAT THE SMURFWAY IS SO. PRECIOUS AND VALUABLE TO BRAINY!!! The answer is Papa smurf and his books! And his friends! The powerful of friendship is more important than a stupid object!!

Extra comments I would like to say

''The ultimate prank'' is officially my new favorite episode of the entire reboot; surpassing ''Smurfy secrets''. The only flaw in that episode is Brainy smurf. I felt extremely bad for him in that episode.

''Monkey see, Monkey do'' was supposed to be put in the ''A+ tier'' but thanks to Papa smurf; it's in the ''A tier'' instead. (And I will never forgive Papa smurf for SAYING THE LINE!!!! I swear; his line should be a meme!!!)

I never originally had a problem with Dimwitty and Grouchy but as time went by: I also started to get extremely angry and irritated at them.

''Smurf your seatbelts'' & ''The Pluffs'' are exactly the reasons why I don't like how relationship interactions are written in the reboot. Even the 1981 series can do a WAY better job than this!

I am too tired of this whole post so if anyone has any questions about any of the episodes I picked; please don't be afraid to comment although be warned; select the episodes carefully because I will respond to some and otherwise to others,

I don't agree that it's Brainy who is responsible, because when he criticized Chef's cuisine, Chef hadn't left yet because he asked others what he thought of his muffins, but Grouchy said "I don't like carrots" and Chef left the village and blamed Brainy unfairly just because he criticizes his food. In addition, Papa Smurf unfairly blames Brainy for the departure of Chef when he did nothing wrong, he just gave a constructive criticism, and Grouchy too, but he gets out of it because he is Grouchy and is not to blame, and Brainy must take the blame because of an opinion. In addition, Chef is too sensitive to criticism.

I was planning to do this for a long time now, and with the Season 3 of the new series coming up that will change a lot and a lot of different perspectives from Smurfs fans I think it's the right time to share my thoughts on some of the most controversial topics about the Smurfs.

• Greedy in Smurfs (1981 TV Series)

I get really upset by the comments about 1980s Greedy and I think it's the perfect topic to begin with. Most people think that this version ofGreedy was a mix between comic Greedy and Chef, but this is absosmurfly incorrect. By the airing of the 1981 series there was only about 10 different comics released by Peyo and not even one of them featured Chef Smurf. Even more, there were occasions where the Smurfs refered to Greedy as the village cook in the comics; most notable of them is in the Smurf Stories, one-page gag collection (which was unfortunately never translated to English). There the Smurfs litterally say that they'll ask Greedy to bake them a cake, which is a proof that Greedy was supposed to be the Smurfs' cook before Chef was even created.

A Smurf with a cooking hat however does appear in The Fake Smurf story, but is never named, making it possible to be just Greedy with a cooking hat.

The whole Greedy the cook thing was then retconned in the later comics and the new series with the introduction of Chef and even Baker Smurf, so the confusion is completely understandable.

• Other combined characters in the Smurfs (1981 TV Series)

I'll try to be quick here because I've talked about Greedy and Chef so long. Clumsy again like Greedy wasn't really a mix of characters at the beginning, but unlike Greedy Clumsy was initially a replacement for Dopey. Clumsy never appeared before 1980s series and the creators probably thought of giving Dopey's traits to a character with more potential, and everyone must admit it turned out great. And then after the series, they made two characters out of it

On the other hand, I didn't like the only "real" combination of characters in that series, that is Painter and Sculptor. Painter wasn't bad in the 1980s series, I just really hated that they gave him Sculptor's traits, because unlike Chef and Clumsy, Sculptor was confirmed to exist in the early comics.

I really hope they utilize them both more in later seasons of the new series.

• Brainy in Smurfs (1981 TV Series)

This one is going to get me a lot of hate, but I really think Brainy wasn't that unbearable in the 1980s. I get the hate for it, he was truly annoying in later seasons, but I think people overreact with it. Especially in the first few seasons, he was completely bearable and even though they ruined him later on, they had some good ideas like him writing his own books. He was bad, but don't go too far with the Brainy hate.

• Smurfs (2021 TV Series) is NOT a continuation of the comics

Another controversial one, but I just hate it when people talk aboutthis being the same universe. Yes, the Smurfs have their mischevious personalities back, yes, Brainy is not an egoist, yes, Clumsy, Dopey, Greedy, and Chef are separate characters, but no, it's not the same universe. For example, Bigmouth lives in the old tower, which was never a thing in the comics, or Gargamel's hovel being located on a cliff, or Clumsy and Dopey being firemen. And the worst of them all is making Hefty an egoist and the only Smurf attracted to Smurfette, who for some reason randomly turns into an action girl. I've never seen that in the comics. I don't think the new series are bad, they're just not the same as the comics.

The new series were based off the recent comics and the old series were based off the Peyo's comic stories, but neither of them is the continuation of the comics.

Hate me all you want, but I think I made some completely reasonable points.

What do you think of the Smurfs Nursery Rhymes character pictures my friend made me?

I was watching Cartoon All-Stars To The Rescue and the wiki page says that both Harmony and Baby Smurf makes a cameo in the comic book Papa, Brainy and Hefty come out of but I can't find them anywhere so could someone show me a image where they show up?
