Where's the Simpsons and Family Guy Articles?
 

There were articles on these shows on IMFDB.org, and I think American Dad and King of the Hill had a article too.
What happened to these articles?
They are TV shows, and there are plenty of animated shows that have articles, why did they delete these articles?
A bad article is better than no article at all.

No, actually most of us here (including me) believe the exact opposite, that no article is better than a bad one.

They were deleted because the guns in them were poorly animated compared to animes like Gunslinger Girl and Gunsmith Cats.

I agree with the sentiment. You can't include anything that walks, crawls or sneezes that portrays 'some sort' of firearm. If it's like the animes where the guns are accurate and intended to actually be what they are, then that's different from silliness like that.

If you got King of the Hill, I've seen pretty accurate drawings of guns on that show.

Not always though, their shotgun drawings can be less than accurate, and I've seen them depict handguns sometimes as just a square handle when they are in holsters.

well it's been a while since i've seen King of the Hill anyway. But we do agree that Simpsons and Family guy should NOT go up on the site, neither does South Park.

based on that can we delete crap like this Goldeneye page?
I mean its worst than the Perfect Dark page, and we deleted that.

By poorly animated, it is meant that they rarely if ever were meant to represent something real.

All of the weapons in Goldeneye, and a fair number of weapons in Perfect Dark were meant to look like real world firearms.

If the pistol is a "unknown revolver" we don't need a page. If it's an attempt at a Ruger Blackhawk, then we should have a page.

someone put the simpsons back up.

well now it's gone

I'm still not sure why the vehement hatred for "The Simpsons" or "Family Guy". Some of the guns in them were not very realistic and were too simple to be identified with real-world counterparts. But this wasn't always the case - Stewie's arms stash in "Lois Kills Stewie", for instance, clearly had XM8s, DShKs, Micro Uzis, and other recognizable weapons.

And I don't understand why you and I had no say in the page's deletion, since we screencapped parts of the page, proving these things. :mad:

Look, some of those caps of guns on the show just...doesn't really look like what you claim them to be

Some guns do look pretty like what they are intended to be, but I just look at it like some poorly drawn picture solely for the sake of a comedy action scene, not to look completely the part.

Ive actually seen some good Firearms on the simpsons.


I recall that a Bank robber had a Fully Automatic Ruger Mini14 on one episode.
Marge had dual Glock18's with Extended clips while Homer took a Sawed Off Mossberg and an accurate portrayal of a Vulcan Minigun.
Ive seen M1911's even. Thompson submachine guns have been quite prominet too. And Ive seen VERY VERY VERY accurate M16A2/M16A1 models used by the SWAT team and Military.
When the Police draw there Revolver's most of the time we can Idenify them as a Smith and Wesson M&P/Model10.
Even if it was a bad page it was an Entertaining read, surely.
And remaking the page would be hard without screencaps.

Thats so true.
And American Dad did quite well to.
Last Night I was watching it and Stan slept in bed with nice AKM.
And in the spice cupboard:
"Glock, 17 shots"
"Mac10"
"MP5"
"Paprika!"

Glock 18s don't feed from clips, they feed from magazines.

I know that.
Im just calling it a Clip because that gun was gangsta.

The correct response to anyone correcting a clip/magazine confusion is "Excuse me, princess!"

Then if you know it, don't call a magazine a clip. "Gangsta" or not, there's still a difference.

King of The Hill did their guns pretty well, why is that page gone?

Really know. We should focus on having sucha high variety of articles as possible rather than following old norms and standards about what should define the weapons. Its a simple question of supply and demand - i think many visitors will search for Simpsons and Family guy articles and they will all be surprised as they are unable to find any.

Then they should be told that those guns were poorly drawn and meant to be drawings of guns, not accurate depictions of guns.

The anime pages have very realistically drawn guns, so they belong here. Not 2 rectangles pasted together with a trigger attached.

You aren't making sense. "Family Guy" has some guns that are poorly drawn and not supposed to be accurate, but there are also plenty of weapons that are recognizable as (fairly) accurate depictions of Micro Uzis, XM8s, MP5s, DShKs, etc. The screencaps we had on the page clearly showed this.

Never saw a gun depiction on that show that wasn't crap. It is gone. Let's keep it that way.

No disagreement there (I'm the one who deleted the revived page by that newbie, remember?), but surely, you can't deny that some of the gun depictions are fairly realistic?

This is also moreso with "South Park". It's quite obvious that the M16A1s and SPAS-12s and S&W auto pistols in that show are fairly accurate representations of the real guns. One can certainly look at them and think, "Yep, that's an M16!" almost immediately, instead of saying, "Hmmm, that looks sort of like an M16."
