Changes: Edward Platypus

Revision as of 18:12, 8 May 2020

Edward is a Bean Scout at Camp Kidney, and a secondary antagonist to Lazlo. He is the youngest son of Susan Platypus. He is voiced by Mr. Doug Lawrence.

Personality and Characteristics

Edward is a curmudgeon platypus who likes to laugh at other's misfortune. Edward had his personality inherited from his older brothers. Edward hates Lazlo due to his optimistic and energetic personality, which often clashes with his grounded (if not somewhat cynical) temperament, and is somewhat jealous of him because he knows how to have fun. He is also the only Bean Scout to have any sort of common sense and gets easily enraged by idiocy.

Edward is known to play mean pranks. In "Campers All Pull Pants," he manages to pants everyone in Camp Kidney, including the Scoutmaster. Eventually, he realizes that it's not only funny to pants other campers, but to pull down his own pants as well. In "The Weakest Link," Edward tricks the Jellybeans into following a map into the wilderness and walking in circles.

Edward often attempts to assert his masculinity and toughness. In "Tomato Paste," Edward tries to earn all the required merit badges to graduate to being a Tomato Scout, a distinction that only the "toughest" Bean Scouts normally achieve. In "Movie Night," he is revealed to be the youngest Bean Scout, and is deemed too young to watch a film rated "BB" for "big boys" only. He attempts to watch the film just minutes before his birthday, and is terrified. However, upon viewing it again a few moments after aging, he loves it like the rest of the campers. It is possible that he has a complex due to always being the youngest, so he always wants to prove that he's tough.

He is also shown to own a doll named Veronica in "Hello Dolly," which he desperately tries to hide from the other campers; after he is discovered cuddling it, he immediately denies owning it and suggests that he blow it up to prove that he doesn't own it; he ends up blowing up a decoy doll made from a pickle and a marshmallow, which fools all of the campers except Lazlo, who is happy to keep the secret.

Edward has shown himself to be pessimistic at times, such as during the tug-of-war in "Love Sick," where he points out that the Bean Scouts always lose to the Squirrel Scouts due to Gretchen carrying the team.

In "The Wig of Why," Edward shows his manic side when he becomes obsessed with Lazlo telling his fortune. Since the "price" for a fortune from Madam Lazlo is a smile, Edward is initially unable to deliver. However, by the end of the episode, he becomes consumed by his obsession, and creepily smiles at Lazlo.

+Edward is a curmudgeon platypus who likes to laugh at other's misfortune. Edward had his personality inherited from his older brothers.

He is also the only Bean Scout to have any sort of common sense and gets easily enraged by idiocy.
-Edward Platypus is a platypus who sleeps in Pinto Cabin with Chip and Skip. He enjoys watching the suffering of others and is constantly coming up with schemes to spoil any fun that Lazlo and his pals might have. He has a severe hatred for Lazlo and Camp Kidney, though that has lessened over time.
+Edward is known to play mean pranks. In "[[Campers All Pull Pants]]," he manages to pants everyone in [[Camp Kidney]], including [[Scoutmaster Lumpus|the Scoutmaster]]. Eventually, he realizes that it's not only funny to pants other campers, but to pull down his own pants as well. In "[[The Weakest Link]]," Edward tricks the [[Jelly Cabin|Jellybeans]] into following a map into the wilderness and walking in circles.
-Despite his intense dislike of Lazlo, Edward has joined forces with him for a common goal on a few occasions.
+Edward often attempts to assert his masculinity and toughness. In "[[Tomato Paste]]," Edward tries to earn all the required merit badges to graduate to being a [[Tomato Scouts|Tomato Scout]], a distinction that only the "toughest" Bean Scouts normally achieve. In "[[Movie Night]]," he is revealed to be the youngest Bean Scout, and is deemed too young to watch a film rated "BB" for "big boys" only. He attempts to watch the film just minutes before his birthday, and is terrified. However, upon viewing it again a few moments after aging, he loves it like the rest of the campers. It is possible that he has a complex due to always being the youngest, so he always wants to prove that he's tough.
-Edward is the youngest member of Camp Kidney and was the only camper who could not watch the horror movie because he was not a "big boy" yet according to the Beanscout handbook. Despite his age, he often acts more mature than the other scouts at Camp Kidney and his voice is more like an adult than the rest of the campers. He even has his own credit card.
+He is also shown to own a doll named Veronica in "[[Hello Dolly]]," which he desperately tries to hide from the other campers; after he is discovered cuddling it, he immediately denies owning it and suggests that he blow it up to prove that he doesn't own it; he ends up blowing up a decoy doll made from a pickle and a marshmallow, which fools all of the campers except Lazlo, who is happy to keep the secret.
-As opposed to his aggressive and bitter attitude, Edward secretly loves playing with dolls, his favorite being a doll named Veronica that he got for Christmas, and he liked it so much, he told his mom (Susan) to give the rest of his presents to charity. He would also really like to own a "voodoo drum".
+Edward has shown himself to be pessimistic at times, such as during the tug-of-war in "[[Love Sick]]," where he points out that the Bean Scouts always lose to the Squirrel Scouts due to [[Gretchen]] carrying the team.
-Edward won Camp Kidney's mascot contest with his "Duke of Lice" costume by using a blackmail drawing of the Jellies who were certain to win but the prize was not as good as it originally seemed. A similar twist of fate occurred when Edward wins the go-kart race, yet his trophy is the smallest of them all.
+In "[[The Wig of Why]]," Edward shows his manic side when he becomes obsessed with Lazlo telling his fortune. Since the "price" for a fortune from [[Lazlo|Madam Lazlo]] is a smile, Edward is initially unable to deliver. However, by the end of the episode, he becomes consumed by his obsession, and creepily smiles at Lazlo.
-His closest friends are his bunkmates Chip and Skip who are the only campers who make him feel smart due to their collective stupidity. Perhaps because of their similar personalities, Gretchen from Acorn Flats has a crush on Edward, which Patsy finds amusing. Edward (and later, Gretchen) is terrified when he finds out his needs to compete with Lazlo in checkers. When he is confronted by McMuesli over his anger issues, Edward mutters a single word, "loser", which is a stark allusion to the insecurities Edward feels.

-Edward is very deceitful, and hardly an episode goes by without some scheme of Edward's failing to induced the worship Edward so much desires. He ordered a number of phony merit badges to make himself feel better, which almost has him attending Tomato Camp. Edward is voiced by Doug Lawrence.
