LarryBoy was and always will be a part of my life.
Why? Because he's not only a superhero, but a pretty cool one.
-I just don't know why he, as a superhero, would go unappreciated!
He's not like Batman, Spiderman, or Superman, or any superhero that has people dying left and right or kills the bad guy. No. LarryBoy is nonviolent and is always willing to do what's right. So, back when the 2000s began, there was a website that Big Idea created for this plunger-headed hero. It was called larry-boy.com. And boy, was it impressive!
For LarryBoy and/or Veggietales fans that may have passed this website up,
I'll give you a run-through:
the website takes users inside the LarryCave, where they get to read through character profiles
and learn more about the villains from the show.
They also showed work-in-progress designs, as well as images of the devices used and the LarryMobile from the show from the creators themselves. But the main attraction was the game-
saving LarryBoy's butler Alfred Asparagus from the Rumor Weed by trying to look for him after he leaves a letter for Larry saying that he needs help.
-Well, the game's story was kinda different than that of its movie, but it was still exciting to sit in front of the computer and play the game!
However, as time went on, apparently Big Idea had other plans for their Veggietales website, so they took down the LarryBoy website. Why was that?
-In fact, I keep asking that question to this day...
-Another question that I keeping myself over and over is: How did this website not catch on?
Nonetheless, some LarryBoy fans reached out to Wikipedia to create their own wiki for the superhero,
which was okay, but it's not as impressive as larry-boy.com.
So why should LarryBoy have his own website?
Well, apparently the hero doesn't ask for much as a standalone superhero. However, devoted LarryBoy fans like me would like to get the word out and demand that there be a website just for him... or at least, give us a reboot of the original LarryBoy website.
Here are the following benefits if LarryBoy gets and keeps his own website:
1. LarryBoy would some more recognition
2. bringing back his website would be so RETRO
Or, how about a compromise? If he doesn't get his website back, then why not put him in a feature-length film?
-I mean, what's Big Idea waiting for? Are they waiting for someone to say: Look! There's a cucumber superhero that's been around since the 90s. Perhaps you'd like to make a feature-length movie about him?
Well, despite the setback, what LarryBoy fans can do is relive the glory days by going back to the original videos over and over again, and maybe convince Big Idea that LarryBoy deserves mentioning, even in today's world of Marvel and DC.
