Bryan Cranston is back as Titanium Rex, a superhero with a faulty prostate and some bumbling sidekicks out to save the holiday — if only they can stop quarreling — after Santa Claus experiences an existential crisis and runs amok.

What's more: Growing up, the Asian actors I saw on screen typically played tired stereotypes, like math geeks, martial artists, wimpy sidekicks, or exotic beauties — not action heroes — and it made me believe that being Asian was somehow embarrassing.

Whether they're with dead dads or backstabbing brothers or trusty sidekicks or wise mentors, these bonds reveal to us what really drives the hero, reflect back their best and worse qualities, and raise the stakes of the end of the world.

Owners of the businesses along the North and South Forks of Long Island, N.Y. — long havens for brides-to-be and their sidekicks looking to let loose — say déclassé crowds of rowdy women are not exactly the clientele they're going for.
|
|
Mr. Ellis chuckled quietly a couple of times, rubbing his knuckles over his lips, as Bateman and his sidekicks sang a raucous opening number that telegraphed the story's central themes about the corrosive effects of unchecked narcissism, greed and materialism.
|
|
The franchise always had a "boys will be boys" vibe to it, and his encounters with his trio of female sidekicks and Dr. Evil's female stooges carry an air of sexual entitlement that now feels aggressive instead of just playful.
|
|
And in the grand tradition of sharply funny sidekicks passed over for blander heroines like Lucy, every moment Emily Lacey's onscreen is another moment I remembered that she isn't onscreen all the other moments, and what a damn shame that is.

However, Skam is more than just your latest high school fare: Unlike Gossip Girl's seriously outdated use of Sidekicks and text blasts to communicate with the entire Upper East Side, Skam is working social media into the very core of the show.

To get back at Italy for refusing to follow Germany's diktat on immigration policies, Berlin led the assault, with its French sidekicks, on Italy's attempts to rescue its sinking economy with fiscal policies that were well within the euro-area budget rules.
|
|
Queen of the South's Teresa is not just complex but morally ambiguous, the kind of antiheroine who remains largely absent from American television, which still hesitates to linger overlong on women who function as anything other than nurturers, sex symbols, sidekicks, or ingénues.
|
|
It doesn't help that these shows keep getting made in essentially the same ways, with the same weepy monologues and bottled up fear, the same frustrating jobs and the same kooky sidekicks who immediately get on board with the visions and the tasks.
|
|
Trusty Sidekick Theater Company, known for its innovative and often immersive children's productions, has acquired some trusty sidekicks of its own: Called the Young Devisers, they're actors ages 9 through 13 selected to help the troupe create and perform new site-specific works.

President Xi Jinping smiled broadly, never acknowledging the principle of reciprocity, while his sidekicks warned Macron that he had to be "pragmatic" if he wanted to benefit from China's "win-win cooperation" in areas where that might suit Beijing's needs and interests.
|
|
Under Moonves, CBS became America's most powerful network, but also went from broadcasting shows like Murphy Brown and Designing Women to mostly being a place where women were corpses, whose murders were solved largely by steely, determined men, with occasional help from quippy female sidekicks.
|
|
Unlike Miller's nerdy loner version of Barry, Gustin's take on the character is shaped by his team of sidekicks and family members — both a narrative necessity in an ongoing series and also a defining characteristic of the small-screen Flash that Miller's version can't replicate.
|
|
In middle- or upper-middle-income suburban settings, educators are likely to appear as lazy fools, petty tyrants or, at best, genial sidekicks offering an occasional word of wisdom (think Paul Gleason in "Breakfast Club," Jane Lynch in "Glee" or Ken Jeong in "The Duff").
|
|
Video games tend to focus on paramours, sidekicks, and rivals; at the end of the typical Bioware game, I'm usually hard-pressed to point to one of the game's NPCs as a friend to the player character (Varric is the salient exception, of course).
|
|
As Kremlin thinking went, it was not Moscow whose policies were failing; it was the United States and its sidekicks who were preparing another debacle like Libya — the murder of a secular ruler that would open the floodgates for all kinds of dangerous new forces.
|
|
Dirk Nowitzki and his motley crew of veteran sidekicks were a nice team, but appeared incapable of slaying the two-time defending champion Los Angeles Lakers, the up-and-coming Oklahoma City Thunder, or the seemingly indomitable Heat, all of which featured multiple stars.
|
|
Over the course of its run, Batman: TAS found satisfying stories and character arcs for oft-maligned sidekicks like Barbara Gordon / Batgirl and Dick Grayson / Robin, and I might argue that you don't get to the modern versions of those characters without the cartoon.

"This is a first: a Hollywood superhero movie written and directed by women, featuring a multi-racial female cast, with no male sidekicks or love interests, and a theme about learning to live without a man," Nicholas Barber, writer for the BBC, wrote in his review.
|

Berlin, and its Brussels sidekicks, are just too busy now setting up Italy for penalties and disciplinary procedures for its excessive public debt and an intolerably high budget deficit of 2.4% of GDP – unless U.S. President Donald Trump tweets to save the day for his Roman friends.
|
|
Yet, all the traditional noir components are there, from the feisty dame-slash-love interest, police detective Kristin Ortega (Martha Higareda), all the chain-smoking, a cadre of wisecracking sidekicks — the internet is going to love Poe (Chris Conner) — and a conspiracy that's Bigger Than All This.
|
|
The Frank Miller-Christopher Nolan strain of apocalyptic storytelling remains alive and well at DC. The show is based on the longstanding comic-book team most commonly known as the Teen Titans, whose changing lineup over the years has included superhero sidekicks like Robin, Superboy and Aqualad.
|
|
That was part of what was so exciting and challenging back in my father's day: creating a world where the puppets were not the sidekicks or the discoveries of human characters, but where all the lead characters and the lead dramatic roles would be played by puppets.

By showing a successful Manhattan doctor — with an enviable closet and a string of adorable (albeit unrealistic) meet-cutes with hot men — as a truly imperfect human, Kaling allowed her protagonist to be the source of the show's comedy, a role often reserved for best friend sidekicks.
|
|
Besides, Americans have famously short attention spans, and the pace of the Trump era makes a single week feel like a century; do we really believe Hillary Clinton's book will dwarf whatever Trump and his band of awful movie villain-esque sidekicks do for the next several years?
|
|
Each 30-minute episode takes us inside "Ruth's Alternative Caring," a dispensary where Bates's character and her trusty sidekicks—her twenty-something son (The Night Of's Aaron Moten), her security guard (The Flash's Tone Bell), and a few budtenders—get high, sell pot, and talk shit about one another.
|
|
We are mostly allowed to be servants or sidekicks -- stoic oppressed characters such as Hattie McDaniel in "Gone With the Wind" or Whoopi Goldberg in "The Color Purple" who astound audiences with our ability to sing Negro spirituals and maintain forgiving hearts even in the face of injustice.
|
|
"Disenchantment," the story of a headstrong young princess (voiced by Abbi Jacobson) and her two sidekicks, an elf with a serious crush on her (Nat Faxon) and a wisecracking little demon out of a Krazy Kat panel (Eric Andre), looks and feels a lot like a conventional TV comedy.
|
|
Two animated series are also slated: "Young Justice: Outsiders," a sequel to the series about Justice League sidekicks that ran for two seasons on the Cartoon Network, and "Harley Quinn," which will spotlight the complex and sometimes zany supervillain, who has had relationships with the Joker and Poison Ivy.

She spent her childhood summers following her subject up and down the banks of the Deschutes, enthralled by his odd fixation with wildlife and his concomitant lack of interest in people, which extended to Malarkey herself, who, like all good sidekicks, kept quiet and out of the way.

Her fans remembered every move from the climactic snake-dance scene in "Nagina" when, in deathly white, furious and venomous, she glided down a staircase to roll and gyrate in front of the evil snake-charmer, stinging his sidekicks with her hands and with the flash of her blue-lensed eyes.

Unassuming in a baseball cap and shorts, Hodgson was earnest and thoughtful, discussing Mystery Science Theater 3000's enduring popularity, how he decided to cast updated versions of beloved characters, and why new movies should be spared the merciless riffing treatment of robot sidekicks Tom Servo and Crow T. Robot.
|
|
Besides celebrating women's leadership in Arendelle, what also makes the "Frozen" formula work is the comedy -- Olaf may be one of the best sidekicks and sources of comic relief Disney has ever introduced -- and the men, particularly in the second film, understand their supporting roles in deference to the sisters.
|
|
Yes, this PG-rated feature has its dark moments, but it also offers humor as Kubo (voiced by Art Parkinson) and two unusual sidekicks — a serious-minded monkey (Charlize Theron) and a sillier beetle (Matthew McConaughey) — go on a quest to find the powerful warrior regalia of Kubo's dead father.
|
|
The show uses the House structures and the ball setting to dramatize the stories of the gay men and trans women of color who were — and are — the real-life protagonists of those settings, in service of Murphy's usual goal of turning characters who might be written elsewhere as sidekicks into stars.
|
|
What made these movies feel new (and to many, exciting) is that all three feature the kind of protagonists who have historically been marginalized as comic relief or sidekicks in plots about thin, white, straight characters nursing secret crushes, making life-changing declarations of love, and coming into themselves as quirky outsiders.
|
|
The program, which aired on HBO, used the late-night wars of Jay Leno and David Letterman as a starting point, but went much deeper: It satirized sycophantic sidekicks in Jeffrey Tambor's "Hey Now" Hank Kingsley, overbearing producers in Rip Torn's Artie, not to mention backbiting writers and two-faced celebrity guests.
|

Here are our personal favorites: *The Funky Phantom*Scooby-Doo with a non-talking bulldog Scooby-Doo and ghosts who are the sidekicks (an effeminate revolutionary war ghost and his snickering ghost cat)One of several HB series animated in Australia which is why it looks so different than everything else. pic.twitter.

Not only do the Warriors have two of this generation's most frequent volcanic eruptions; their "sidekicks" are arguably the second-best shooter who ever lived (and the second-best two guard in the league) and a fierce, transcendent defender whose charisma and divisiveness rises to the level of a beloved rebel leader.
|
|
These movies, because of their gender-barrier-breaking milestones, had to not only make enough money to convince executives that they could stand with traditionally male-led heroes, but they also had to make up for the decade of stories where women were primarily sidekicks, love interests, or damsels in distress, not action heroes.
|
|
Sure, rom-com sidekicks, regardless of race, gender or sexual orientation, have always been brushed aside for bigger storylines (see "quirky BFF" roles played in the '90s and '00s by Judy Greer and Kathryn Hahn) but sidelining queer characters as the Gay Best Friend is damaging because we know that LGBTQ+ representation in Hollywood is still severely lacking.

Related: What's streaming on Netflix, Amazon, Hulu in August Perhaps inevitably, "Defenders" limps along a bit in the early going (four episodes were previewed), juggling not only its four superheroes -- Luke Cage (Mike Colter), Jessica Jones (Kristen Ritter), Danny Rand/Iron Fist (Finn Jones), and Matt Murdock/Daredevil (Charlie Cox) -- but their assorted sidekicks from previous stand-alone adventures.

By making Rakhine Muslims stateless — by granting them identity cards of various hues that at various times seemed to confer citizenship or its promise only to withdraw them — and by subjecting them to intermittent violence, the military of Myanmar and its Rakhine Buddhist militia sidekicks have done more than anyone to forge a distinct Rohingya identity.

Alice and Julia and Quentin are the type of hero-and-sidekicks team that appears to be endlessly popular in pop culture, composed of at least one brilliant, hyper-competent woman who for some unclear reason is a sidekick instead of the hero, and a hapless, semi-competent guy who for some unclear reason is the hero instead of a sidekick.

If you were a kid in the '90s, chances are your Saturday morning diet consisted of a nutritious blend of cartoon classics like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Batman: The Animated Series and — if your parents were trying to sneak some fiber into your bowl — Captain Planet and the Planeteers, centered around a socially-conscious, blue-skinned superhero and his band of ethnically diverse, eco-warrior teen sidekicks.
|
|
There's a Scar-like villain in the form of the sneering Jafar (Don Gallagher, playing the role, gets booed on cue at the curtain call), while Aladdin has three sidekicks — Omar (Rachid Sabitri), Babkak (Nathan Amzi) and Kassim (the strong-voiced Stephen Rahman-Hughes) — who suggest the three musketeers displaced to the realm of Agrabah: Their bromance, endearing at first, wears out its welcome.
|

Writer-director Dean DeBlois (a veteran of all three films) juggles a whole lot of moving parts, as well as disparate tones, specifically in the lyrical nature of Toothless' interaction with a female Night Fury dragon -- scenes played silently for long stretches, other than John Powell's lush score, in a manner that almost approximates a nature film -- and Hiccup's familiar assortment of comic-relief sidekicks.
|
|
The wider pantheon of sidekicks - Shadow, Silver, Big the sodding Cat - have been cast headlong into the screaming cosmic abyss from whence they came, reducing the playable line-up to the Holy Trinity: Sonic himself (who can use each shield power-up's special ability), long-suffering fox acquaintance Tails (who can fly and swim) and beefy echidna rival Knuckles (who can smash through certain walls, climb and glide).
|
|
The result is a politically incorrect fever dream that involves dwarf sidekicks, Ms. Kodar in "redface" as a Native American woman, at least one orgy, a drive-in theater, '70s-era views of women (disposable) and inclusion (nonexistent), the mutilation of a doll, a car crash, mannequins, an ice cube, lanterns, rifles and a giant phallus built with chicken wire and perched on a sand dune, among other imagery.

I know for a fact I've been waiting for it since 2014, when the first article I ever published on video games predicted that the "dadification" of games (which peaked in 2013 with Telltale's The Walking Dead, BioShock Infinite, and The Last of Us) would lead to a much more revolutionary shift: The daughterfication of games, when women and girl sidekicks would rise up to become protagonists of AAA adventures in their own right.

AS A GIRL of 6 or 8 or 10, I spent the long Midwestern summers and longer winters reading the sort of books one typically gave to American girls in the mid-1980s, many of which featured trios of female characters: the frontier Ingalls sisters of "Little House on the Prairie" (1935); Nancy Drew and her two sidekicks; the triumvirate of friends in turn-of-the-20th-century Minnesota in Maud Hart Lovelace's Betsy-Tacy books of the 1940s and '50s.

An example hour: from 4 to 4:50PM on Saturday, attendees could choose between a "Princess Panel" featuring Kerry Ingram (Shireen Baratheon) and Amy Richardson (the original Myrcella Baratheon); a discussion about fan fiction shipping hosted by various A Song of Ice and Fire bloggers; a conversation about the best "sidekicks" in Westeros; a meet and greet with sound designer Paula Fairfield; an autograph session with Kate Dickie (Lysa Arryn); or a lecture on the historical parallels between Westeros and the real Middle Ages.
