PLANET SHEEN LORE (making sense of the most confusing spinoff)

[@connorhealy3562]

I remember reading a fan theory somewhere online that Jimmy intentionally wrote that note to get Sheen in the rocket and send him as far away from earth as possible so that he couldn’t mess with his experiments again, which would also explains why he never goes to look for him or find him throughout the series. A likely story? No. Consistent with Jimmys character? Also no. Really funny to think about? Yes.

Honestly, Sheen having Amnesia probably would have helped this show a lot. Have him forget Earth and his past life entirely, but little bits slip in from time to time. Like he'll just randomly remember something Jimmy or Carl told him that helps save the day or give an inspirational speech that's clearly dialogue from Ultralord and there is a momment where he feels like something important has been forgotten but he brushes it off because that's just Sheen. You could even have an episode where he hits his head amd it looks like he's going to get his memories back but instead he thinks he is the real Ultralord and it's kind of a Buzz Lightyear situation. Would have been interesting, at least.

[@SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

Both Stephanie and Sportacus are considered the main protagonists by the show, but I feel Stephanie is a bit more of a main character. Sportacus is meant to be the responsible and healthy counter to the irresponsible, evil, and unhealthy Robbie Rotten. Sportacus was losing before Stephanie made it there. With Stephanie moving to the town, Stephanie sees firsthand what's wrong with the town, and encourages exercise, which further promotes Sportacus's agenda. So with Stephanie now on Sportacus's side, it's two against one. Stephanie is meant to be the "I'm a kid just like you, and I want you to be more like me!" relatable character.

My canon is they said no to Carl because when they think of Carl, they think of his love for Jimmy's mom, and while yes it was weird, that's what made Carl a funny character because he's not meant to be taken seriously. I agree that if they let them do a Carl-esque character like Doppy and even bring back Carl's voice actor (Rob Paulsen), they might as well have let them have the real Carl!

So yeah, what if the rocket Sheen takes is made from parts and pieces of the Yolkian ship that the kids take at the end of the movie, which is why when Sheen presses the button it essentially fails leading to the start of the spin-off series. It fails cause Jimmy hasn't finessed space travel yet.

[@peacefulinvasion684]

My theory is that Planet Sheen never happened and is just a story written by Sheen. Sheen is the kind of character who would write himself as the main hero, write "Carl" in as a side character slug, and replace Jimmy with a talking monkey. Obviously, he'd write it so that the princess is in love with him and include a hot alien babe as a love interest. Everything in the series that doesn't make sense is just Sheen, as an author, being Sheen.

I think one of the main reasons that spin off shows about side characters fail, it's because showrunners don't realize that sometimes side characters only are effective as side characters; they become annoying or too much if they are made the focus. Specially with Sheen, he works better in small doses like in Jimmy Neutron. Example: Kronk in the Emperor's New Groove movies.

[@ogome2927]

shows about side characters can work, look at better call saul for an example of that, it depends on the character’s personality. if they’re a comic relief then god no, but if they’re a grounded character it can work. i for one believed a spin off starring libby could’ve worked if they just gave it a chance

[@ermacmacro7136]

I feel like the idea was originally meant to be "Uum has two sides. Her normal face is her rational and critical thinking, and her other face is the embodiment of all of her Intrusive thoughts." So if Uum gave Sheen a Rafenhoffer (No clue if I spelled my right) it was probably initially meant to be the Intrusive thoughts that would do it. But the creators ended up giving up and giving Uum nothing BUT intrusive thoughts.

[@billybarnett9518]

@ermacmacro7136 Do you think it would've been better if Sheen liked Oom back and actually wanted her raffenhoffers?

[@ermacmacro7136]

@@billybarnett9518 I think it would have been better if Oom had a bad habit of giving into the face that is her intrusive thoughts (either through her upbringing and her dad being a numbskull, or Sheen just naturally brings those intrusive thoughts out of Oom by his sheer stupid). And the rational Oom felt bad for it afterwards. Or maybe Oom figures a different less....raffenhoffery way to show her affection towards Sheen. I just think the writing for Oom as a whole character is just flawed and felt like something was horrendously missing and got left on the cutting room floor.

[@billybarnett9518]

@@ermacmacro7136 I agree, but I also think it would've been funny if Sheen liked her back and wanted raffenhoffers, and everyone else would think he's weird and be disgusted by it. They'd all be like "Why? How?!", it could even confuse Dorkus.

Imagine in the revival of Jimmy Neutron opens with Sheen crashing a ship in a way that Jimmy and Carl don’t notice and he is just back on Earth and no time has passed cause time on the other planet works differently and Sheen just thinks it was a dream or he tries to tell people and they think he was dreaming it and that makes Sheen think he dreamt it

[@jerbear8884]

Imagine if you will, we do end up getting the Jimmy Neutron reboot. And the first episode two are just the gang going to reenact your vision of a finale. Thus giving this spinoff a bit of closure while also reintroducing Sheen to the cast On a semi related note I've seen theories that the whole setup in the first episode was intentional on Jimmy's part, and given what we know about Jimmy at this stage it would make total sense that has conducting an experiment of some kind. Why else would Jimmy overtly put notes telling Sheen of all people NOT to do something? An act that would most definitely draw Sheen's attention? There's other theories floating around like this Sheen is actually a clone and this was the nicest way to get rid of the clone since they found the clone very obnoxious or something else entirely. At the end of the day this show is weird

[@ogome2927]

the clone theory or the dream theory are the only two that makes sense to me tbh

As for the between-series approach for Planet Sheen, I like that reading. Sheen thinks he's in Space Camp. He's even dressed like he's in Space Camp. Why he doesn't mention Ultra Lord? It's the earliest era of his hyperfixation. He only develops more interest in Ultra Lord a f t e r he got praised by the aliens, but projects it onto his favorite series to avoid suspicion.

Proving that if anyone should have gotten a spin-off was Jimmy's Mom. She's always getting hypnotized 😵‍💫 so could have had these two 10 min segments that is a mix of Captain Underpants x Mr Bean. Would say Hugh but dialing him to eleven for prolonged periods of time would annoy eventually while with Mrs Neutron the hypno running gag would allow you to have her be wild and out there and based in some rationalities.

Maybe also look at qubo shows or, if you’re really curious get into Canadian cartoons like my favorites, Mona the Vampire and Ruby Gloom (joys to my bby goth self) So yeah in conclusion, lore recommendations: -Doc Mcstuffins -Pbs Kids shows -Qubo shows -Canadian cartoons -Ruby Gloom -Mona the Vampire Love your videos and your vibes, sorry about the long rambley comment lol 🖤🖤

This has to be a clone for how out of character Sheen was. It has to be after he doesn't seem concerned to leave to find his friends, father, and Libby...his previous love interest that would want to be a thing if they started off slow. He comes off as being more immature and yet also not as unhinged when it came to his new love interest, and somehow remembers that he has a mom in that one flashback. Imagine that all this time we were following a story of a clone that has no idea he was a clone and the real deal was going about his own life while the other has lingering memories and false memories of the original show. It can really get to you, no?
