CHARACTER ANALYSIS #11- Rumor Weed from "LarryBoy and the Rumor Weed"

Hi, I'm the Whatsoever Critic. I review just about anything.

This would be my fourth Character Analysis on a LarryBoy villain. Yep, it's the Rumor Weed from LarryBoy and the Rumor Weed.

The Rumor Weed, like the Fib from Outer Space, is one of the monsters that LarryBoy pins up against in the franchise. As far as personality goes, she's one-dimensional. In that whole amount of screen time that she's in, you know that she's evil and doesn't care about anyone. That's right! She's there to take over Bumblyburg, and will stop at nothing to do so.

She gets her start whenever someone starts a rumor about another person, which in this case, two kids start a rumor about LarryBoy's butler, Alfred Asparagus.

Once the rumor spreads all over town, Alfred finds himself in turmoil as far as reputation goes.

This allows the Rumor Weed to capture him at the movie's climax.
However, what stops her from taking over is...
-...not LarryBoy saving the day.

(Sorry to say. At least he made an attempt. Don't judge him,)
...but the two kids that started the rumor righting their wrong, and people saying nice things about Alfred.

Now, as far as looks go, she's usually seen with yellow hair, big sunglasses, and (I'm dead serious about this) big lips that someone will say is liposuction.
-Yeah! Disturbing!
-And plus, she's like a stereotypical gossip girl, except she's really a supernatural creature.

Now, one of the problems I had with this character is her origin. What did the movie want us to think where she came to existence? In the opening scene, after LarryBoy takes down a lowlife bandit, Larry knocks down a potted plant, which gets electrocuted on a power line, and then falls into a gutter and into the sewer.
-So power lines can give inanimate objects life?
Even though the movie shows us how the Rumor Weed came to life, I still don't think that that fully explains what she is and where she came from.
Another problem I have with her is the collateral damage she causes. Oooh, she redecorates the entire city with her stems and leaves. Oooh, that's hard it do!

I mean, what happened to the messing up sidewalks and crashing through walls like Alfred had mentioned in that one scene? Why doesn't she do all that? Then again, showing her doing that kind of destruction would test the G-rating environment (or NR-rating) of this movie.

But aside from that, I enjoyed seeing this villain in the LarryBoy realm. She's serious; she's capable of doing diabolical things; and she's ballsy.
