[@Aisha_Luv]

also the whole "snow white is 13 and the prince is twenty" was just completely fabricated. only the early concepts mention the fact she was that young in the source material and the princes age is never mentioned. Ty moderngurlz for combatting buzzfeed news.

[@tatsudragneel4761]

It's a problem with most of the princesses, a lot of them don't have official ages but if you look them up the first result will likely be a random number made up by some random site. Snow White has it the worst cause if you look up her princes age it'll say "30", when it's very clear in the movie that boys design isn't a 30 year old man. The closes source to an official age for either of them is in early concepts where Snow is "14" and the prince is "18" (still a bit creepy) but there's no way of knowing if they used those early concepts in the final movie. I'm convinced the only reason people say they are "14 and 30" is because that was the ages of the voice actors, and Snows just happened to line up with the age in the early concept.

I feel like not seeing the Ice Age movies did a disservice to Diego. For instance the girl tiger that apparently showed that he doesn’t respect women has a lot more context. First of all she and her pirate crew tried to kill them a few minutes ago and he still saved her life. Also when the pirates first attacked, his first words to her were “I don’t fight girls” and she attacked him anyway. Then when he saved her and offered for her to join them, she insulted him. It was then that he called her Kitty (which makes sense because she’s a cat). What I’m saying is every action is warranted. Also if you look at the earlier Ice Age movies you can see how he shifted from a bad guy to someone who considers the main characters his family and would die for them. Diego is actually incredibly complex and in no way disrespects women.

[@slashercat8649]

I have to defend Diego here, as someone who's seen all the ice age movies. In the first one he's kind of a villain that gets a redemption arc, and after that he's just kind of a Han Solo character. The reason he was fighting with the girl tiger was because she had just kidnapped him and his friends and threatened to kill them, and they escaped. She happened to be in the water and the Mammoth took pity and saved her life. Between the two of them, she's the mean one and he even tries talking to her afterwards. Although he does say "i don't fight girls" at one point in the movie, which was kind of a dick thing to say. Thankfully, the girl tiger snapped back with "i can see why" after she kicked his butt.

Hi! In Tangled the Series, in 1 of the episodes it was revealed that Eugene/Flynn Rider was around his early 20s (some online sources say 21-24 years old) during the events of Tangled the Movie. So this would mean that Rapunzel and Eugene have much smaller Age Gap. (Please let me know if I am correct in the comments) In their wedding that takes place years after the movie, he is confirmed he is 26 yrs old.

[@pearlhwva]

Not a cartoon but I had a major crush on King Tutankhamun when I was 10. Like, the Egyptian pharaoh. Idk I saw a wax recreation of his bust in one of those children’s TIME magazines and holy SHTT MAN I fell hard lol

[@worknotinprogress7172]

My little sibling was crazy about Team Umizoomi when they were a kid. They even made them into their own imaginary friends and expanded their lives and family trees. Role-playing games were always fun with them around lol. We always thought that not enough people talk about that show. I'm so excited to see your take on the show!

[@PhillyCheeseBro]

A Wild Krats video in march would be an amazing birthday gift :)

[@tulioco.5711]

TEAM UMIZOOMI WAS MY CHILDHOOD, real one ong

[@umbreonhyperdream]

17:21 this whole bit had me in tears

[@kaktusowyRodzic]

I love that in each episode you have a different face painted

[@UltraCenterHQ]

0:42 Larry is such an amazing character. He even saved SpongeBob and Patrick when they were jumping into spikes because they were "Living Like Larry"

[@cherriegetison6093]

I definitely remember someone from the film's crew saying Flynn Rider was 26, but never looked into it enough to know if they meant "Oh we just meant to give him the vibe of a 26-year-old so more of our audience can find him cute, but he's not actually 26." or if they meant "Oh yeah, he's actually 26 but we didn't say it out loud in the movie because we don't want to admit it officially." so I just wanted to assume the vibe idea for my sanity haha. In the Tangled series, they do officially state in season 3, set two years after the movie, that Flynn was turning 26 while Rapunzel was 20, which was something he didn't actually know until right then because he had no records before as an orphan, and he said he thought he'd be turning 25 lmao it's a little messy.

[@chelanmoly8281]

I agree with your take on Megamind 100000% I live for flamboyant cartoonish villain energy

[@warriorseamonkey1693]

Ponyos mom is like my mom when it comes to driving lmao. she always SPEEDS into the driveway like in the Simpsons intro (Obviously not crashing into the garage) And then she gets mad at me for being a little too cautous driving.

[@xQueenyBee]

Flynn/Eugene has really strong himbo energy in the series tho. Love him so much lol ❤

[@gota7738]

I totally get what you mean and I'm with you, but a fun fact; the core EoA 4's models where updated from season to season to reflect them physically maturing, as was Isabella growing into a teenager. Also I imagine all the evil ladies giving Esteban the same advice, I'm cackling.

[@Joy-1.0]

Man she perfectly explained why i never had a crush on the Kratt brothers. I love learning animal facts more djosjdkwkckekskd. Also lore video on Cyber Chase whenever that stops, I think it's still going which is wild if it is-

[@nao-bo4yz]

oooh have you watched the netflix show carmen sandiego? each episode teaches you things about whatever city theyre doing their thievery in 💀 i think youd like it!

[@BewilderedCitrus]

I will second this, the Carmen Sandiego reboot is genuinely so good, it's baffling.

[@nao-bo4yz]

@@BewilderedCitrus yes!! i was so disappointed when it ended, i wouldve taken ten more seasons exactly like the rest and loved them

[@amelia-bf4jr]

Im so excited for team umizoomi lore vid can you do a Doc McStuffins lore vid and a Steven universe lore vid anyway love your videos they always make me laugh 🧡

[@marbear9116]

Ice Age has, like, 5 or 6 movies. Movie one is the human baby and the group coming together. Movie two is meeting Ellie the female Mammoth and her opossum brothers, as well as the romance between Ellie and Manny the Mammoth. Movie three is the dinosaurs and Ellie giving birth to her daughter, Peaches. Movie four is the sailing one, where the female white Saber Tooth Tiger is introduced. Movie five is the fountain of youth and Sid the Sloth's love interest, who is a female sloth that has been living in the fountain for decades. So she looks young but is old.

[@sophiaisstillagoodunit6626]

Lore vid for the ice age movies just for the fact that i wanna see her put the nicky clip of "she's huge, but she so beautiful"

[@marbear9116]

I totally forgot to add the Holiday Specials. They are weird.

[@TwigCommenter]

Athena i am joining the wave of people wanting a tangled the series lore It is so worth it Its such a underrated series

[@krabkrabby]

Megamind as a top tier? Instant sub. You're a woman of culture. 😎

[@thedragonscalegirl3578]

If your gonna do wild kratts lore video, might I recommend Cyberchase if you want to contiue your pain in long tv series.

[@pearlvampirexkitty]

I was having a rough night, but it’s a little better now🩷 Thank you for being awesome, Athena- you’re the best🥰

[@cyber-flight]

I would ADORE for you to do a Tangled The Series (aka Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure) video bc I loved that series so much (and it expands on the characters a lot and adds a few fun new ones 👀

[@apertureAI-jw1iz]

I like to think Jesse and James eventually realize Giovanni totally fired them, so they open a Team Rocket-themed gym using all their traps and gadgets knowledge that Ash and his friends occasionally come by to challenge.

[@ValerieTheBat]

Oh boy! these tier list videos are the reason I watch your wacky wonderful show with topics right up my alley.

[@john4348]

could you do a tier list on characters who joined a franchise late but became part of the main cast (Poof on Fairly Oddparents, Ben and Chris on Parks and Rec, Puss n Boots on Shrek, etc)?

[@pina_nina_fresa]

You putting Esteban on top is the biggest plot twist i have ever experienced

[@matheusvitors.9842]

Don't know about Wild Kratts, but Chris in Zoboomafoo was actually my first crush that I can remember.

[@perrytheplatyhoe3501]

Made me happy so many people said Cedric, he’s a total hottie lol I mean besides the fact that he looks pretty damn fine I’ve just always been a sucker for the sympathetic villain trope

[@maddiekoester7785]

Can we get a part 3 Athena? I’ve got some characters for you-

[@catherinemary2098]

Athena, I need another part. Also yes I am binging your youtube!

[@panjamysy]

Megamind is the ultimate animated crush. He definitely does things to me that he has no right doing.

[@julialibby2918]

OMG you’re doing Team Umizoomi I am so excited🎉🎉

[@alekhyanarayanam4670]

Hey Athena, I only recently found your lore videos and I have to say that I absolutely love them and the other kinds of videos you make like these ranking vids.... It brings me back to watching them when I was younger and reminds me of shows that I forgot even existed..... Can't wait to see more videos from you....... P.S. Would absolutely LOVE to see a Winx Club lore episode cuz that show was my entire childhood and I desperately wanna see your take on it!!!!❤

[@loganmiller7827]

If you do a part 3, you have to rank the Tinkerbell characters. Specifically Terrence. I didn't know it at the time but he was like, my first gay crush lol. And I know people that are into women REALLY like the designs of the other fairies too

[@ArnLPs]

I wouldagree with headcanoning Red Guy as ace if he and duck had not gotten this weird chemistry all of a sudden between them in the TV show...like multiple moments that definity made me think something is going on between them...

[@jacksnow54104]

For me, I feel Red Guy is Gay Asexual and Duck is Bi

[@jackreiter7291]

I totally understand your frustration with Frozen 2. The plot was kinda all over the place and felt rushed(even more so after watching the documentary on Disney+). But one thing that I can fully agree with is that the soundtrack fucking SLAPS!

[@L337P1R4735]

Greg Universe is completely legit crush material especially when you see him with Rose. Also I would be in a thruple with Jesse and James, so hot.

[@satanicchameleon1928]

Very glad to see Professor Utonium!

[@Moochael77789]

Also the blazer is giving 💅

[@AG-hx6qn]

Megamind's eyelashes tho ;D thanks for these videos. Feels less alone!

[@warcatfurever101writeroffanfic]

Wild Kratts was my childhood favorite show (and MLP and Samurai Power Rangers). Used to watch it in my uncle’s house in NY with my best friend at the time in the same age range while my parents were at work. Was it on Netflix, I don’t remember? But I think when I stopped being able to watch it on cable I couldn’t watch it any more. I need to find a free place to watch it, I love Martin so much (not as a crush, I literally just loved him cuz his favorite color was green and mine is too and I loved his personality.)

[@kristenhlady4079]

3:42 Ponyos mom is soooooooooooooo pretty 😍
