First was Orko from He-Man.

Any significantly advanced science is indistinguishable from magic.

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

If his science was sufficiently advanced it would've been able to produce an earth-shattering kaboom.

[-] Cephalotrocity@biglemmowski.win 2 points 2 months ago

Is a wizard someone that uses magic?

[-] Floodedwomb@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

It's definitely not an alien using a disintegration ray.

[-] Cephalotrocity@biglemmowski.win 2 points 2 months ago

So a wizard isn't someone that uses magic? What is your definition of Wizard?

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I'll have to ponder on that.

[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Marvin didn't have the wizard hat.

[-] Cephalotrocity@biglemmowski.win 3 points 2 months ago

How dare you project your limited idea of what a wizard hat is on Marvin!

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

He did, but only in bed.

[-] BluesF@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I think he just has a small very dark coloured head. He's not just eyes in shadow in a hood, he has a round head... it's just black.

Ok not small, but yes, it's a ball not a void imo

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Sufficiently advanced technology.

[-] bran_buckler@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago

They’re not wizards, but did Jawas from Star Wars establish the aesthetic?

[-] jlh@lemmy.jlh.name 14 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Seems like Jawas were the first in ~1977. The fandom wiki says that LucasArts sued Neil Young for having Jawa-like creatures on stage in 1978.

Marvin the Martian beat that by almost 30 years.

[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Jawas didn't wear the wizard hat. Same reason Marvin doesn't fit.

[-] OCATMBBL@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Looking at the picture above, hoods seem to count. If not, then half of them don't apply to the rule.

[-] buycurious@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

Thank you, was looking to see if someone recognized the OG.

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 months ago

Came in here to defend Orko's legacy. Was not disappointed.
