Solar Opposites is Justin Roiland’s Hulu exclusive show that focuses on four aliens
who come to Earth to recreate their planet.
Throughout the show, we focus on these aliens and all of their hijinks.
But we not only focus on the aliens but plenty of other human characters that populate their
world.
But which of these characters are good and which are evil?
We’ll be scouring Planet Shlorp, Planet Earth, and The Wall for a multitude of fun
characters.
I’m Brad with WickedBinge, and this is Solar Opposites: Good to Evil.
As always, we’re starting from the best of the best, these are The Good.
Earning the Gold Medal of Good is Peter, the sentient pig creature.
Peter was a giant pig creature that made award-winning ribs in his chest, has blood that tastes like
barbeque sauce, and can excrete “all the fixings”.
He was created by Mrs. Frankie, Roland, and Matthew, where they tortured him wearing Solar
Opposites masks.
He eventually escaped and lived his life to the fullest until he comes across the real
Solar Opposites and sues them for the supposed torture.
Yes, Peter did sue the Solar Opposites, however, he didn’t know that they weren’t who tortured
him.
He’s the best character because he lived a peaceful life and got what he assumed to
be revenge, even if it was misplaced.
Snagging the Silver Medal of Good is none other than Funyulack.
Funyulack is a fictional version of Yumyulack created on the Pretend-O-Deck by Jesse.
Jesse created a version of her surrogate brother that is much nicer than the real version.
He knows how to braid hair and bake bread and treats Jesse much better than Yumyulack
does.
He even teaches Yumyulack how to be a nicer brother to Jesse, even though this leads to
a bunch of shenanigans.
Funyulack is a great guy but ranks underneath Peter because he did try to kill Yumyulack
when he was about to get erased.
The Bronze Medal of Good goes to Jeff The Possum.
Jeff was a possum who lived in the Solar Opposites’ backyard and seemed to be relatively peaceful.
However, when the shrunken down Duke entered the backyard he killed one of Jeff’s children
in self-defense.
This doting mother got extremely angry at The Duke and started to hunt him and eventually,
Cherie down.
She keeps The Duke and Cherie trapped within a toy spaceship and stops them from leaving
at all.
She is working on a mix of instinct and motherly feelings, which means she can’t rank lower.
Her worst crime is attacking the guy who killed one of her children, which is not all that
bad in the grand scheme of things.
The next character on our list is an inhabitant of the wall, Cherie.
Cherie was a waitress at Benihana’s who gave Yumyulack shrimp despite him specifically
asking her not to.
She was shrunk down and put in The Wall by Yumyulack, and was immediately met with Tim.
She journeyed with Pedro and Tim to get insulin for Enrique, going up and trading a playboy
magazine for the insulin.
She later helps Tim revolt against The Duke and helps him take over The Wall.
She is later left in the Backyard, pregnant with Tim’s Baby, and forced to deal with
that by herself.
She then plans to revolt against Tim alongside Halk, and that’s where we’ve left her
for now.
She seems to originally only care about escaping but seems to be the only one who cares about
justice as well.
Cherie is by far the best character that is in The Wall, even if she’s a bit more violent
than some of them.
But a close second place for best character in The Wall is Halk.
Halk was an editor on the TV show Bones and was shrunk down by Yumyulack for unknown reasons.
Halk was a hero of Wall War I who saved a bunch of people from a flood of Nerds that
nearly killed hundreds.
Halk then decides to help in the investigations of the multiple murders around The Wall.
He is then the one who finds out the murderer, a man named Ethan that he saved during Wall
War I.
He then watches Tim murder the Walldermen and Ethan and was allowed by Tim to tell the
truth to the crowd if he so wished.
Halk decides against it to keep people from going insane and then plans with Cherie to
overthrow Tim.
He falls underneath Cherie because he decides not to tell the truth when he could have,
which inadvertently helps Tim.
Rounding out the good section is one of the main characters, Jesse.
Jesse is Terry’s assumed replicant and the only female Shlorpian in the Solar Opposites.
She is optimistic, free-spirited, and compassionate, who enjoys all the positive things on Earth.
She spends most of the show berating Yumyulack for his scientific and jerky way of going
about things.
4 She is genuinely a good person, helping Yumyulack when he gets injured, and giving
food to the people within The Wall.
She steals Yumyulack’s ray guns to try and teach him that humans are good and has openly
said she wished everything lived forever.
However, she falls to the end of this section because she does have a few evil moments.
She not only goes along with Lidia’s Lobotomy but pours Diet Coke in her brain to make her
stupider, although Terry did it first.
She is also partly responsible for creating the murderous zombie-like creatures from her
head flowers, although she helped fix this problem.
Jesse is the best Solar Opposite, but she’s still the worst of the best.
With Jesse, we’ve rounded out the Good Guys, so now we head to the middle ground, welcome
to The Gray Area.
Starting the gray area is Vanbi, previously known as Teri with an I. Vanbi was Terry’s
assumed life-mate on Planet Shlorp who appears in the season one finale.
She seems to like Terry’s shenanigans, even while in the Pupa School.
However, during one of the timelines created by Terry and Korvo, she saves the Shlorpian
Vanbo and starts dating him, which is when she changes her name.
She seems to not only be fine with helping Vanbo’s revenge plot but Also with his plan
to destroy the planet Earth.
She also slaps Korvo a lot, but these actions don’t make her fall any lower, she simply
stands there, in the Gray.
Our next character in the gray is Principal Cooke.
Principal Cooke is, as his name implies, the principal of James Earl Jones High School
where Jesse and Yumyulack attend.
Cooke is shown from the first episode to not particularly like the two replicants and tries
to find any reason to kick them out of school.
It’s also shown that he and Ms. Frankie love torturing the two a little too much.
He only seems to care what’s good for him and on occasion the school, making the whole
PE class rerun the mile because Jesse and Yumyulack might bring down the school average.
He even does a heel-face turn when Jesse and Yumyulack run the mile in a minute, forcing
them to go to the regionals and eventually the Olympics.
He’s kind of a douche but doesn’t do anything exactly evil throughout the show, at least
not yet.
Everyone’s possible favorite Shlorpian Terry is the next entrant on our list.
Terry is one of the main characters and is a happy-go-lucky fun-loving alien who wants
to learn everything about Earth and its people.
Terry is supposedly a pupa expert but he cheated on all of his tests, which stops him from
actually being useful in caring for the Pupa.
He has taken quite a liking to the Earth and rituals upon it, such as dogs and dog walking.
He is shown to care about Korvo quite a lot, screaming in anguish after Korvo supposedly
died.
However, despite that, his rampant stupidity and desire to be liked causes a lot of issues.
He helps create the massive Funbucket that destroys the town, he shrinks a bus stop and
kills two people, and is the one who originally pours Diet Coke into Lidia’s brain.
Despite these actions, he’s not intentionally malicious, he just does things accidentally
more often than not, which places him here, right above the dead middle.
Speaking of Dead middle, The Pupa ranks here, dead center.
The Pupa is a small creature native to Planet Shlorp that has all information regarding
Planet Shlorp within its DNA.
The Pupa will eventually grow to an immense size and turn Earth into the new Planet Shlorp
once it reaches maturity.
But in the meantime, it’s a gluttonous murderous infant-minded pet.
The Pupa is known to trick people into giving him things he wants as he did with Lorraine
and the Harry Potter whistle.
It also has a hobby of watching the things going on in The Wall, even recording Tim and
Cherie’s intimate night together.
They like to eat things, including Gooblers and candy, which makes them sick.
They also tried to eat the shrunk down Lidia, which shows he has very little care for not
only what they eat but who they hurt.
They’ve killed a bird and worn its skull, stabbed a star kicker in the leg just to clone
his leg to get vending machine snacks, and ended up accidentally killing all of the Solar
Opposites.
The Pupa does many malicious things, however, they also do a lot of things purely on instinct,
which ranks them dead center.
Slightly below dead center is Korvotron, often shortened down to Korvo.
Korvo is the main alien in Solar Opposites and the leader of the mission to terraform
Earth.
Korvo is also the smartest member of the team and is currently trying to fix their spaceship
to get off the overcrowded planet.
Korvo seems to care about Terry and the replicants, shown when he outlaws dinner parties just
because he felt Terry was ignoring him.
However, Korvo seems to hate Earth and does not want to assimilate with them, showing
his introverted and close-minded personality.
The main reason he ranks here is that he does plenty of malicious actions that aren’t
entirely done out of idiocy like Terry.
He creates Funbucket and the second Funbucket when dealing with heavy emotions, puts the
nanobots in the water out of a need to be liked, and becomes a magician out of a thirst
for fame and love from his family.
Korvo tends to do stupid things when emotions get in the way, and because of these emotions,
we can’t rank him lower.
Although, he did sort of reveal he captures children in a giant hole and digs up dead
bodies for insanely sick reasons, which means he has to fall here.
Rounding out the Grey Area is Ms. Frankie, the high school teacher.
Ms. Frankie is the irritable High School teacher who alongside Principal Cooke wants to kick
Yumyulack and Jesse out of the school.
However, unlike Cooke, she wants to kick them out and wants it much more than he does.
She refers to the two of them as “filthy aliens” which portrays a hatred towards
them that Cooke does not have.
She is also one of the three people responsible for the creation of Peter and is the one who
tortured him.
She is also therefore responsible for framing the Solar Opposites and knew what Peter would
do.
She ranks here mainly because of her pure maliciousness and hatred towards the aliens,
not to mention her and Cooke’s interesting relationship.
But now we get down and dirty with the Bad to Evil category.
Now that we’re starting the Bad to Evil category, we’re starting with Enrique.
Enrique is a diabetic inhabitant of the Wall and because the only major food being thrown
into the Wall being candy, he is constantly suffering from his disease.
His son Pedro went alongside Tim and Cherie to get Enrique’s insulin from The Duke.
They manage to get the insulin but Pedro is killed by The Duke for starting a riot.
Enrique believes that Tim is responsible for his son’s death and betrays the two people
that saved his life, going to work with The Duke.
He becomes one of The Duke’s enforcers and eventually one of Tim’s Walldermen when
Tim takes over.
However, he does cover up Ethan’s multiple crimes and this causes his death.
Enrique not only betrays Tim, but he also covers up his friend’s crimes just to keep
the burden off of Tim.
Enrique is not a good person, but he’s not as bad as some.
The worst Shlorpian member of The Solar Opposites, Yumyulack ranks next on our list.
Yumyulack is Korvo’s assumed replicant and is Cunning, crabby, and sly who says he used
to be a Bounty Hunter.
He likes to pull plenty of pranks, such as filling the school’s computers with artificial
intelligence.
However, he is also the member of the Solar Opposites who has done the worst actions in
the series.
He killed dozens of neo-nazis in a bar using his suit, wants to take a sample of the bus
driver’s eyeball, and Kills two actors using a laser knife in Korvo’s defense.
He calls Korvo “mean” but also says “being mean is rad”.
However, he is the entire reason for everything that happens in The Wall as he has shrunk
plenty of people down and put them in there.
However, he has a multitude of reasons for doing this ranging from the color shirt they
wear to being genuine bad people.
He does have a few saving graces though, he cares about his surrogate sister Jesse and
doesn’t like killing people for no reason.
However, his actions still lead to everything in The Wall and all the death that this causes.
Speaking of The Wall, its current leader Tim ranks next on our list.
Tim is the everyman who was placed in The Wall specifically because he was wearing a
red shirt and Yumyulack has every other color shirt in The Wall.
He is the one who leads the Resistance against The Duke and leads a group of lower-class
Wall Citizens against the dictator.
He is also the one responsible for getting Enrique’s insulin, although this leads to
Pedro’s death.
He then causes The Duke to run away and he becomes the leader of The Wall, and when Cherie
finds out the hole that The Duke uses to escape he betrays her.
He stabs Cherie through the stomach and kicks her out of the hole in the wall and pretends
The Duke killed her.
However, he is shown to feel at least slightly guilty for this.
Tim becomes the leader and does everything he does for what he feels is the good of the
people.
He even allows Halk to tell the truth about Ethan if he so wishes.
However, as they say, “the road to hell is paved in good intentions”.
Next up, cracking the top five is Chris The Red Goobler.
Chris is a Red Goobler, a goobler that only appears every 100,000th Gooblers which Korvo
spawns after he finds Terry’s jeans in the freezer.
Like every Red Goobler, Chris only wants to kill Korvo by either direct means or by causing
too much stress.
He tries to fulfill this in many ways, such as hiding in the most stressful place he can
imagine and killing Trent with a knife to frame Korvo and Terry for his crime.
However, after playing the waiting game he meets his fiance Jen and calms down a lot.
He tries to apologize for killing Korvo and even unintentionally invites him to his wedding
to Jen.
Although, during the bachelor party he ends up sleeping with Korvo and ruining his marriage.
He does feel bad about this but by the end of the episode, continues his waiting game
to kill Korvo.
Chris is mostly running on instinct, which means he can’t rank lower, but he also kills
Trent.He can’t rank any lower, but he really can’t rank any higher either, because he
doesn’t have Tim’s good intentions.
Everyone’s favorite robotic sitcom mom P.A.T.R.I.C.I.A is the next villain on our list.
Her name stands for Patricia Automated Television Retro-Fitted Intelligent Companion in Action
and she was built by Korvo.
She was built specifically to hate Korvo and Terry’s “manc ave” and was made out
of a bunch of sitcom moms throughout history.
She starts to berate and make fun of Korvo and treats Terry like a child, also treating
The Pupa as an actual infant.
After being allowed into the man cave she kind of goes into shock and turns into a giant
murderous robot that destroys dozens of man-caves.
Not only that, but she also kills at least fourteen people in the Dave N’ Busters she
started to destroy.
However, she then decides instead of just killing men she wants to kill all humans in
the world but is then deactivated.
P.A.T.R.I.C.I.A is a genocidal murderer who kills over a dozen men just because she hates
man caves, she has no good reasons besides an error in her programming.
Grabbing the Bronze Medal of Evil belongs to Vanbo.
Vanbo is a possibly fictional Shlorpian who goes on the Solar Opposites’ mission to
Earth after Korvo and Terry knock Korvo’s wallet into the ship while in the past.
He is shown originally to just be annoying and treating Korvo and Terry as slaves, forcing
his way into their hiding space and trying to force Terry to make him a sandwich.
However, after Korvo and Terry beat him up as time ghosts, he is revived back to health
by Vanbi.
He comes to Earth to try and arrest Korvo and Terry, and while this is him obeying the
law of what happens when you use a “retouch-your-stuff-alizer” he did it in a very aggressive way.
But that’s not his worst action by a mile, he then threatened to blow up the Earth, for
no reason other than he wanted to.
He may not have P.A.T.R.I.C.I.A’s kill count, but he did threaten a genocide for no reason,
at least the robot had programming to abide by.
But outpacing him by a mile and grabbing the Silver Medal of Evil is Ringo AKA The Duke.
The Duke is the leader of The Wall and a zealous despot who treats the lower levels like nothing
more than a people to rule over.
He believes that only the richer high-level people in The Wall are worth living, and has
no problems killing people from the lower sections of The Wall.
This comes to a head when The Resistance shoots up against him and he floods the lower sections
of The Wall, killing hundreds and even a very cute rat.
He is also a coward, escaping from The Wall when cornered and heading into the back yard
where he kills one of Jeff’s babies in self-defense.
However, he doesn’t rank at the bottom because he saves and nurses Cherie to health and then
sacrifices himself so Cherie can go have Pezlie without Jeff’s interference.His self-sacrifice
stops him from taking the bottom spot, although he was originally there.
However, the Gold Medal of Evil belongs to Ethan.
Ethan was a citizen of The Wall and one of Tim’s Walldermen.
He is the one behind at least five brutal murders that took place within the wall, going
as far as to set his victims into poses.
He shows absolutely no remorse and had murderous tendencies before he was shrunk and put in
the wall.
He was also the one who caused the Nerds Avalanche which may have killed countless people.
He was saved by Halk and saw himself as nothing less than a God who held the world in his
palm.
Ethan not only shows no remorse but his tendency to see himself as a good and having no saving
graces, grants him the gold with ease.
But don’t leave just yet, we have a few extra medals to hand out!
The Darwin Medal for the stupidest character in the series belongs to Terry, Terry has
caused a lot of damage with his stupidity, I mean he revealed sensitive secrets at an
HOA election that caused a riot, and does countless idiotic acts.
In fact, Terry also gets The Sloth Medal he is the main offender when it comes to putting
off fixing the ship for no other reason than pure laziness.
Sensually grabbing The Lust Medal is Ms. Frankie, Frankie not only gets aroused by punishing
Jesse and Yumyulack but possibly other students, she also forces Korvo into erotic actions
for most of a day.
There’s no doubt that The Gluttony Medal belongs to The Pupa, as we brought up in their
entry, he eats gooblers, candy, and all other kinds of things, and will eventually engulf
the entire Earth.
The Envy Medal was hard to place but we give it to Korvo, Korvo envies Terry’s easy way
of making friends and wants to be popular with the neighborhood, getting ticked off
when someone he doesn’t know hates him.
The Pride Medal on the other hand was easy to give to Ethan, he sees himself as a god,
it’s no contest.
Snatching The Greed Medal is The Duke, he is not only the one who controls the entire
supply of The Wall but values money over anything else, as evidenced by flooding The Lower Levels.
Finally, The Wrath Medal goes to P.A.T.R.I.C.I.A who destroys dozens of man caves and kills
dozens of people because she hates Man Caves, even turning into a giant murder bot to accomplish
this.
