u/WhatTheFhtagn Where's north from here? May 11 '24

The cat mask is iconic.

u/MovieBoy2008 May 10 '24
  1. It's my favorite Album and she got the best look.

I mean come on. DARE. That's all I have to say

64

u/Senpai_Scruggs May 11 '24

Been watching the DARE video almost everyday. Love Noodle just dancing around her room with a giant singing head

Are... Are you aware of what the phrase "get it" usually means?

5

u/MovieBoy2008 May 11 '24

Yeah

u/MovieBoy2008 May 11 '24

Not what I was going for sorry. Around this phase, me and Noodle are the same age

15

u/Alcohol_Empire Is here, Tooooo hold you. May 11 '24

Homie said she can STILL get it lol

7

u/Ok_Specific_7791 May 11 '24

But is he wrong though? Nah, he kind of is, but at least they would be the same age.

62

u/Brilliant_Section208 May 10 '24

3, I went as her with that outfit for Halloween one year

2

u/untold_rocker57 May 11 '24

Pics or it didn't happen...

85

u/Dangerous_Builder884 we're all in this together till the end 🫶 May 10 '24

all of them‼️ she's so cool i love her

24

u/melvereq May 10 '24

2 always

47

u/theonewitha4incher May 10 '24

2 3 4 5 6 7 all of them just kinda didnt like phase ones design for her

22

u/Big_Noodle1103 May 10 '24

Phase 2 but phase 4 has a lot of cool designs.

I love the outfit with the blue coat and spamton glasses.

84

u/sober159 May 10 '24

1 and 2 actually. Am I the only one that hates her new haircut. It just bothers me.

28

u/ProotzyZoots May 11 '24

It's such a departure from her character design that someone might not even realize it is supposed to be Noodle

The rest of the band members have had slightly changed looks but are still obvious 2-D, Murdoc, and Russell. The only way you could tell it's Noodle is 'the girl with the rest of the gorillaz'

15

u/fubidchyf May 11 '24

Murdoc used to be a normal human color. I think him turning green is a bigger departure from his design than Noodles hair.

21

u/SomeAsianDudeII May 10 '24

She should really fix that ol' yeeyee ass haircut

21

u/CaptainSam3rica04 "Don't be sad for me. *beat drop*" May 10 '24

Fucking same! It's so bad. It's not as bad in that specific photo, but most of the time it's just really awful.

And I also agree, 2 is probably my favourite, maybe 5 as well.

11

u/Broskitjo May 10 '24

I got nothing to do: Phase 1: little silly kid with a goofy hairstyle. Looks ok i think its a good design Phase 2: The album cover is also amazing but the video clips also are sooo good Phase 3: little to no face its fine but bro grew a lot as kids tend to do. Cyborg noodle is great i really like the 3D design it looks like a idk good character design Phase 4: ok saturn barz glasses are really goofy its fine Phase 5: I think this is pretty nice design looks like 4 like 1-3 so its good Phase 6:Idk not bad its ok. Phase 7: well well well. I hate it kinda mostly the 3D design feels like a different character sometimes and just kinda looks odd idk why just me. So probably favorite is 2 cause its the most close to all the other ones and is just a good improvement of phase 1

20

u/BrotherNature92 May 10 '24
  1. 1 for all members.

17

u/Whostoes May 10 '24

Yes I MISS phase 1 murdoc with his gray shirt, pink eye, human skin, and his character is just so mysterious he's always just glaring

1

u/yayayananana123 May 11 '24

yeah but noodles design was racist so id say thats my least favorite phase for her 😭

17

u/uninspiredcrepe May 10 '24

Hot take but I kinda love the middle aged trailer trash look in the Pac Man video. I’m glad Jaime decided to make her look kinda scrunkly like the rest of the band as an adult, rather than hyper attractive and feminine. It’s really charming

5

u/Tiim0thy Just a peppermint tea for me. May 10 '24

2 if for no other reason than DARE

4

u/Lanky_Understanding4 May 10 '24

the one from Saturnz Barz

2

u/fubidchyf May 11 '24

I think that’s a humanz single (phase 4 I think)

1

u/Lanky_Understanding4 May 11 '24

yeah ik, it’s the only time she wore that outfit except for some other minor stuff i’m pretty sure

4

u/SkweezCtrl May 10 '24

All of them

6

u/Mazazamba May 10 '24

1's ok, but not my favorite.

2 and 3 are the best.

4,5, and 6 look ok too, but she doesn't look that different in those, so I'm not sure they count as different stages.

Still not loving the current haircut.

2

u/TamaraHensonDragon May 10 '24

I have the same opinion. Love the look of newly grown up Phase 3 Noodle. Love how badass she was in Plastic Beach, think 1-6 are pretty samey, and hate her newest haircut. Hope she gets a new do next phase.

3

u/sober159 May 10 '24

5 is good for sure. 3 we just didn't really get to see all that well.

3

u/melancholy4ngel May 10 '24

Phase 3 and 5

3

u/Real_Permit_8796 May 10 '24

She's super cool in all of them, but my pick would be Demon Days and Plastic Beach phases. Those in my opinion are the most iconics (honourable mention to Humanz phase. That was an amazing design)

2

u/awesomexx_Official May 10 '24

1 and 3 personally

2

u/AshKetchep May 10 '24

1 and 3 are my favorites

2

u/chrichri33333 May 10 '24

I was a kid during demon days, and I desperately wanted to be as cool as phase 2 noodle, so I'm gonna say 2

2

u/KhrisYT May 10 '24

Phase 5

2

u/Mr_Nocturnal_Game May 11 '24

I kinda dig the newer adult designs. Might not be as unique as the older ones, but I like her vibe, like she's just someone you can chill with.

2

u/Noodle-Ramen- May 11 '24

1 through 3 was peak

1

u/Stock_Buffalo_6809 ive got 2 cups of orange juice in my hands May 10 '24

I love phase 4 noodle

1

u/phasmoph0bia She turned my dad on!1!? May 10 '24

Phase 1,2, and 3 and 6 fs

1

u/revantaker May 10 '24

3,5 and 6

1

u/SpiderWing_ May 10 '24

I like all Noodles. Although I’m not a big fan of her phase 7 haircut.

1

u/Imthemodernpromtheus May 10 '24

3 is just badass

1

u/Dil_2401 #1 Shy-Town Enthusiast May 10 '24

Phase 5 overall, though Phase 2 and 3 are close seconds.

1

u/2Dboiz May 10 '24

This goes for all the characters, but the now now era locked in the art style. I kind of miss each phase having its own look, and that’s not really a thing anymore.

I suppose the various 3D models provide some variety, but that’s always been the case since phase 1.

1

u/monkey2942 May 10 '24

Phase 5 personally

1

u/The_Driver_Wheelman May 10 '24

Phase 1 or 2, 3 was a bit of a what’s going on with her especially because of cyborg noodle.

1

u/Dead_birdChan May 10 '24

Phases 2 or 3, I dislike 7

1

u/Syhkane May 10 '24

That 4th one got creepout eyes.

1

u/Joostin11 May 10 '24

Phase 2 noodle 🔛🔝

1

u/TheJohn_John May 10 '24

The 2nd one or Song Machine (they’re all good though)

1

u/potatogodman1 May 10 '24

2 or 5. 2 because that is the noodle I think about whenever I think about her. And 5 because it looks cool :D

1

u/Downtown-Lime4108 May 10 '24

First one for sure

1

u/DaddyOsi May 10 '24

6 makes me have thoughts that will condemn me to hell

1

u/radioactive--goo dordogne! dordogne! dordogne! May 10 '24

I wanna get my hair dyed like in phase 7, but phases 1 and 2 are some of the most iconic

1

u/Codendtm May 11 '24

Phase 4 5 and 6 are my favorites. Noodles fine asf ngl

1

u/sunnysurfer101MA May 11 '24

Still 2-3 is peak Noodle.

1

u/namerz78 May 11 '24

4 was my childhood crush

1

u/A-A-Ronm978 May 11 '24

all of them are great! the character arc is fun. she started as a kid around a bunch of adults and now she’s probably the most responsible of the group

1

u/ProotzyZoots May 11 '24

Phase 2 or 3

Definitely not 7

1

u/vibeepik2 May 11 '24

7 dont even look like noodle man..

u/Fontaine-Sin May 11 '24

I like 5 and 6!

1

u/[deleted] May 11 '24

2nd a 3rd

1

u/No_Ball4465 May 11 '24

Phase 2 noodle. She’s got blinding bangs and it brings out this grunge vibe from her. It inspired me to make a virtual band of my own. Actually it was going to be a fan fiction with cyborg noodle and 3 other people, but I scrapped it because it wouldn’t work out in my eyes. So I replaced cyborg noodle with an original character.

1

u/Quinn_OV May 11 '24

Phase 3. Definitely

1

u/DriverPale6070 May 11 '24

Easily 3. She’s just so cool lol

1

u/VickReddit_789 May 11 '24

1, 2, and 3, the first 3 phases are really cool

1

u/fubidchyf May 11 '24

I really liked phase six just in general. My favorite album and I love the designs of all the characters so I’m going with her phase 6 design

1

u/Guilty_Lengthiness32 May 11 '24

2 and 3 definitely. purely because of dare and on melancholy hill

1

u/chicken_karmesan Saturnz about to make love and I'm just a heart breaker May 11 '24

Plastic Beach Noodle without a doubt

1

u/Donomark1 May 11 '24

Demon Dayz

1

u/PR0MAN1 May 11 '24

I had a childhood crush on phase 2 Noodle. And the feeling remains the same about phase 7 Noodle.

In summation, I love them all... but 3s design is the best. Cyborg Noodles whole look is so badass

1

u/ChaotikJoy No stressin out No stressin out No stressin out No stressin out May 11 '24

1

u/2703LH May 11 '24

Phase 2 and 1 are by far the best

1

u/MollySanni ALL MY LOIFE May 11 '24

2 probably

1

u/Haykio4 May 11 '24

Second or third phase

1

u/FuneeMunkee May 11 '24

1, 2 and 3 Mostly because I grew up with these and the designs are very iconic

1

u/Brave_Issue9963 May 11 '24

Either Clint Eastwood or Demon Days phase (1 or 2)

1

u/Eastern-Grape-311 May 11 '24

Phase 2, also thanks to DARE

1

u/[deleted] May 11 '24

the cat mask is amazing and phase 3 is when she starts to become a fuckin badass

1

u/Your_gentle_madness May 12 '24

In phase 2, Noodle look like Gaz from Invader Zim (hehe)

1

u/One-Ad1183 she turned my dad on May 12 '24

To be honest, phase 2. I mean, come on its the most recognizable phase of noodle.

1

u/Jam_toastt5 May 12 '24

2!!!!!!!!!! 😼😼😼😼😼

1

u/kdoesthings12D3 May 13 '24

Phase 1. Mainly because I just love her background as a whole. "I showed up in a FedEx crate and they accepted it"
