Thank you admins for making me whitelisted.
Hello there, and welcome to my first NPG proposal. This one's for two cartoon characters whom I've had on my mind for quite a while now...and I believe they easily count, so here we go.
What's the work?
We Bare Bears is a 2015 cartoon created by Daniel Chong for Cartoon Network. The series centers on three brother bears named Grizz, Panda and Ice Bear as they awkwardly try to fit in with human society in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Who are they?
Charles, better known as Charlie, is a recurring character in the series. He is a bigfoot who is one of the Bears' closest friends.
Officer Edgar Alphonse Murphy is a major character in the series and the false secondary antagonist of its finale film We Bare Bears: The Movie. He is a police officer of the San Francisco Police Department.
What makes them close to being Pure Good?
Charlie
- He assists Panda and Ice Bear in the stacking battle against the wolves at night by getting out more and more items from the cave for the two bears to stack on.
- He admits that he had acted like a jerk to the Bears and is grateful for them defending him from the basketball kids who were trying to take photos of him.
- He helps Panda get to the Chicken and Waffles restaurant after the latter dropped his contacts.
- He anonymously saves Ranger Tabes from a fire, despite his fear of humans.
- When Ralph tries to take out an old bridge that five people were standing on and send them falling off the cliff to their deaths, Charlie stops the bridge from falling by hanging on, allowing the humans to successfully cross to the other side, nearly at the cost of his own life until the Bears rescue him.
- He stands up to Ralph, who had frozen the cave out of spite and enslaved the Bears, and fights him in a icicle duel in which he succeeds in making the latter leave the cave.
- He allows Panda and all of the other animals to take shelter in his car during the hurricane.
- He trips Courtney and makes him stumble into a cage during the latter's fight with Ranger Tabes, leading to Courtney's well-deserved arrest not long afterward.
- He saves El Oso from Blue Eye Ramon in 1913 by using vocal mimicry to fake the sounds of gunshots to frighten the desert bandits.
- He tries to save Panda after the latter rolls into a toxic waste dump while inside a bubble.
- He confronts an eagle to save Panda Jr., one of the baby snakes that he is taking care of.
- He lets Ranger Tabes get to know him as his first human friend and helps her with finding her missing dog, Kirk.
- He and the forest animals hijack the police van and save the Bears from being unlawfully imprisoned by Agent Trout.
- He is overall very friendly and generous to everyone he meets, including animals, and treats them with kindness as he does with the Bears,
Officer Murphy
- He refuses to arrest the Bears after they let Captain Craboo escape despite Nom Nom's selfish demands, and later has Nom Nom arrested for disorderly conduct while the Bears are given community service instead of jail time.
- He arrests Kyle, a con artist who was pretending to be Nom Nom's brother in order to steal Nom Nom's fame and fortune; and in the process stops Kyle from getting away with the contract giving him half of Nom Nom's estate that he tricked Nom Nom into signing.
- He and other police officers imprison the Pigeon Cartel shortly after the pigeons tried to murder Grizz by dropping him onto the ground from the air.
- He doesn't arrest Grizz since the latter was tricked by one of the pigeons named Brenda, and allows him to visit them in prison.
- He forgives Panda for drawing in the park without a permit in exchange for helping with drawing a wanted criminal, and later assists the Bears with recovering their stolen gear bag and arresting the Park Crook, who was the criminal he was searching for and the one responsible for the theft.
- He initially takes the Bears to be questioned after they buy black market sriracha sauce, but ends up forgiving them in exchange for helping him arrest the Pigeon Cartel.
- After arriving at the Pigeon Cartel headquarters, he arrests the Pigeon Cartel for drug dealing after the Bears infiltrated them, and even allows the Bears to have some sriracha sauce for themselves.
- He refuses to endorse severe punishment on the Bears despite the public's demands, until Agent Trout's arrival.
- While he was willing to assist Trout in pursuing the Bears, he repeatedly questioned the latter's motives as he found them to be too harsh and extreme.
- Upon seeing that Trout was going to separate the Bears, he starts to feel a bit of regret and ultimately has a change of heart, returning in a helicopter to rescue Grizz, Panda, Ice Bear, and the other captured bears from a raging wildfire.
- After Trout uses the giant bear stack to climb aboard the helicopter, Murphy incapacitates him by shoving a donut into his mouth, seeing him for the callous and diabolical person he truly is and finally being able to stand up to the man who abused him.
- He pilots the helicopter away from the wildfire with Grizz and the bear stack hanging on, saving the lives of all the bears in the process in his most admirable act, and later has Trout arrested for his crimes against the bears.
- He declares that he will do everything in his power to ensure that the Bears return home, and agrees to help Grizz incorporate the bears into human society.
- He overall has no corrupting factors to his character.
What prevents them from being Pure Good?
Charlie
- He still slightly fails the admirable standards to Grizz, who saved dozens of captured bears from a wildfire.
- He has some moments of acting like a jerk, for example hitting Grizz in the stomach with a basketball and intentionally hurting Panda's hand in order to gain an advantage and win the basketball game after the Bears kicked him off their team for letting the sport get to his head, and when he argued with Panda when the two went into the sewer after accidentally dropping Panda's phone.
- He can be hypocritical, as seen when he often complains about humans for constantly following him and trying to take photos, yet he always does the same thing every time he visits the Bears just to escape his own loneliness.
Officer Murphy
- He still slightly fails the admirable standards to Grizz (despite them saving the bears from the wildfire together), who has done many more admirable deeds throughout the series than him.
Final Verdict
Easy yes to both, but as always, your choice.
