What do you think of him? Do you think he deserves his saintly pedestal? [Spoiler] I do [/spoiler]
Still genuinely bothers me that people responded to his death by killing Stingrays.
>Patrician coming through, move away pleb.
Jeff Corwin was as fearless as Steve but treated animals with more respect and didn't pretend like the animals were thrashing on him to keep from manhandling them
balls of steel, had a good heart for animals, but was reckless sometimes. He was overall good and made some informative shows

>had a good heart for animals
No, anon. No, he did not.
Yeah I don't know if dangling a baby in front of animals is a good idea.
He did a lot to popularize the animal world and probably helped conservation efforts. On the other hand he often acted moronic around animals and it ultimately led to his death
>he often acted moronic around animals
He knew what he was doing, though. Acting moronic implies he was just fricking around with no regard for safety. He went as far as he could and still remain safe. You didn't see him frick around with hippos or cassowaries like that. So it's not like he was as cavalier as the memes make it out to be.
I remember he was feeding crocodiles while holding his infant son which is fricking dumb whichever way you slice it.
See
I hear tell they wanted him to have a celebrity fight with Weasley snipes. Betting mans money was on Steve to win.
How? Wesley was a master of several forms of martial arts and started martial arts training when he was 12.
Doesn't make you a fighter. He was trained to play tag for points not box and be hit. That being said he wouldn't have much he could do if Steve were to grapple him like he does to Crocs. Wes probably didnt have a ground and pound game just striking.
I don't know what he even did that was great. He was a tv personality who talked about animals and had a sanctuary there's a lot of people like that who make their living on nature stuff
i think such association with the christcuck pantheon would tarnish his name
any modern people carrying his torch? only one i can think of is andrew ucles and even he's starting to get old.
don't say coyote peterson
Robert Irwin
with his work he definitely is, but his TV presence isn't quite there. there's something missing with him
He looks like him but didn't get the charisma. He's just a normal guy.

Coyote Peterson tries hard to be him and seems nice, but his content is mediocre and he's borderline moronic. I do like the clips of him stinging himself for our entertainment though.
>Teaches you nothing
>Stings himself with insect
>Rolls on ground for ten minutes
Can't beat the Kratt Brothers and their talking best friend
His reactions to all those stings are so over exaggerated and cringeworthy it’s impossible to watch
stingrays are c**ts
They are, but we can't hate them for it.
Why is he fingering the crocodile in that pic?
The best part of every episode was finding out whether or not a given crocodile was a sheila and there’s only one way to find out!
Bloody Legend o7
I remember watching him back in the day. He was a pretty cool guy.
That's a weird ass shotgun
his style of presentation has gone out in favor of non-interactive drone footage, and I think that's for the best, even though I miss him.
watching old Jeff Corwin Experience and Crocodile Hunter has me cringing at how they just grab wild critters and shove them in focus, it's not great.
Who cares, they're animals. They won't remember it in five minutes, and there's millions of them.
how many kids emulated that behavior, no matter how many half-assed disclaimers they put on those shows?
high res drone footage teaches better, without any instigated and unnatural behavior.
>how many kids emulated that behavior
I still do even though Im over 30
>oh cool a mantis/snake/lizard/turtle/spider/gator im gonna go grab it
>let it go in a safe spot 5 minutes later
>Who cares, they're animals. They won't remember it in five minutes, and there's millions of the-ACK
That shit right there is why I own an elephant gun. May never need it but one of those frickers goes berserk and I'll be glad I have the thing.
What can an elephant actually do though? If you hug its hind legs it can't reach you with its truck, and its too sluggish to get away while you repeatedly pommel it from behind. If you stand to the side of its hind legs then it won't even be able to hit you with a back kick. If it raises its leg to perform a stomp then all you have to do is back off until it finishes its slam, then move back in to continue punching.
>Alas I am defeated
Try punching a brick wall with your bare hands. It won't move or fight back. Surely you'll win eventually right?
You don't have jack shit
>You don't have jack shit
I personally like the drone footage style but to be fair I'm pretty sure that there were far more kids who gained a greater appreciation for nature from watching them than there were kids who started actually going out and harassing animals. Also do kids even watch that kind of drone style footage to begin with? I always got the impression that it's pretty much all adults except for those garbage overproduced pet and baby animal shows on Netflix which teach nothing.
Frankly I think one snake or croc being uncomfortable for 10 minutes is worth that.
Yes, absolutely. He was one of the motivating factors behind my beginning appreciation of animals and the natural world, as well as many others.
When I was 7-8 years old me and my friends where playing with some toads. We thought the toads might want to eat some ants, so we put them down near an anthill. They were red fire ants... they attacked the toads and bit them so they swelled up and died, and my friends got so angry at the ants they started destroying their hill and stomping on them. I watched a lot of crocodile hunter, it was my favourite show, and even though I also got angry at the ants and wanted revenge for the toads, I realized it was our fault not the animals, and told them to stop. Mb I would have made them stop even if I hadn't watched Steve Irwin, but I think he did a good job of making kids understand that animals just do what they do to survive and if you mess with wild ones it's never their fault if you get hurt.
Frick fire ants man. I would kill them on principle (also they aint animals, theyre bugs and bugs dont have souls)
Yeah, even if you shouldn't do what he did and go around picking up and touching wild animals, he showed a lot of kids that crocs and other reptiles aren't evil or bad just because they're dangerous, and when a wild animal bites or attacks a human, its not out of malice.
Robbo is keeping Steves spirit alive pretty well.
I watched him and Bindi grow up in interviews and TV shows. I remember when they were just little. Robert in particular has turned out to be a fantastic animal advocate.
>Passionate about animals
>Charismatic without feeling fake
>Family man
>Supported wildlife conservation
>Died doing what he loved and when he was still popular
Probably the perfect combo for being put on a pedestal
>Died heartbroken, thou.
Yes. God took him from us because he was a powerful soldier and he was needed in Heaven.
>Do you think he deserves his saintly pedestal?
Yes, Steve Irwin was willing to wrestle crocodiles in order to move them to more appropriate habitats.
I don't see why not. So far as I can tell he had a passion for educating kids on the natural world and at worst, annoyed some animals.
Pretty much. Not sure if he was Catholic or a proddy, but I'm definitely sure he
>has been dead for 5+ years
>was a fellow servant of God
>definitely showed heroic virtues and lived a Godly life (didn't snort coke, bang hookers, nor fiddle kiddy diddles)
As for miracles? I'm sure there's at least 5 people willing to say they prayed to God and Steve to deliver them from whatever situation they found themselves in
>canonized by the Church
If Papa Francisco wants to REALLY pitch the more conservative side of the Church into an S Tier kvetching, this would be a golden opportunity.
Otherwise, you can just convert to Discordianism and become a Pope and make him a Saint. In which case, by the power of Our Lady of the Golden Apple; I hereby declare you a Pope and bequeath the powers therof appointed to you. Have fun!
Yes.
I remember Wauf's response to his death.
Mostly it was a combination of shock, outrage, and "pool's closed due to stingraids".
Any screenshots?
None that I made, it's been a long time and multiple not-backed-up HDD replacements since then, and I was never the type to keep a well-organised Wauf folder.
I know we did make steve habbos (khaki shorts basically) and block the pool briefly for a laugh, since at that point fricking with habbo was normal behaviour here.
>hail afro duck btw
Who is he? Looks like an aussie
>Who is he?
That's Steve Irwin, zoomer. He's a legend.
>That's Steve Irwin, zoomer. He's a leg-ACK
He didn't swim so good.
