The introduction of the teenagers is probably the best plot point in the series. It made KND felt like an actual secret organization with double agents here and there. You'll never know who's siding with who and my god, bless the children whoever has this series as their childhood. A timeless series indeed. Also the last episode answered my question regarding KND's double agents cause they too will pass the teenagehood, so does that means they'll still be an operative even as an adult? And the answer is yes, as it's seen in the last scene with numbuh 5

A running gag was that the KND had no sense of subtlety whatsoever (even the treehouse bases are glaringly obvious to the point where there's nothing secretive at all about them), despite thinking that they do. Hilariously, the most successful infiltration operation was done by Numbah 4... who wasn't even doing a stealth operation and just slapped on a trench coat and fake mustache with some stilts to go see an R-rated movie.

[@Pudding404]

KND was special because of it's constant but consistent world building and all-round creativity. I see this as we lose our creative side as we age, and i love that.

[@w0rmfarts]

Constant but consistent is a really redundant thing to say since if something is constant it's inherently consistent

[@NurbedUp]

@@w0rmfarts Nah, he means the writers constantly added new information, or, rather, they were constantly world building, and they did not contradict earlier pieces of the world's lore. The difficulty that comes with world building is that you have to make every new thing you add be consistent with the world you've already built. In other words, as you add new information about the world for the sake of fleshing it out, it becomes easier and easier to add new information/ideas that contradict earlier established lore since there's more and more lore to keep track of. Considering this was a children's cartoon, this is a very plausible problem to run into at some point in the series. Every episode added a relative plethora of new information about the world from characters, to systems, to organizations/groups, technology. However, throughout the series, there is little to no contradictions in the story perspective. Throughout the story, the effort to add more information was constant, yet the story's information stayed consistent with itself.

KND was so so ahead of its time. I like to think that it was one of the few shows at the time that set a blueprint for future cartoons to be have an overarching story. Im in my 30s and I cant think of alot of other cartoons (at the time) where the world was just alot bigger than the viewer realized. Like yeah there were plenty of shows that are still beloved to this day like PPG or Dexter's Lab, but it was more along the lines of one off jokes and scenarios that didnt really make call-backs in future episodes or led up to something...bigger. Like you could watch any other episode in isolation and not think you missed something. And yeah there are plenty of episodes in KND where you dont need to necessarily know what's going on (particularly the early seasons) but there are still plenty of plot heavy episodes where you couldnt just come in on without knowing what led up to it. Its why I appreciate alot of kids shows these days that are both entertaining and are telling an engaging story. I would love to see a return to KND though I have a sneaking suspicion that if it did return it would just get the Teen Titans Go reboot treatment and just be some ridiculous, dumbed down mess. :(

I wish CN didn’t toss away KND, just like they did to a bunch of shows in the future like Flapjack and Courage. They’re basically what Netflix does now, they kill off well beloved series before they even get off the ground

[@Brainsore.]

YOUR PFP IS SO CUTEEEEEEE KYAAAAA

[@G1antPurpleHipp0]

As a kid, watching the end of this series mad me sad. As an adult, it strikes a cord in my heart strings. I feel more emotional watching the ending now than as a kid

[@Debjit-x7d]

As a kid I never understood the show. It had just too much creativity for my child brain to understand.😅

[@throykydd5003]

I can remember every single one of these episodes but as a kid i never tought about how good the storyline is. Im so happy to re live these memories as an adult.

[@tylervargas5812]

The origin story being a direct parody of the Animatrix Matrix prequel is perfect too. Showrunners were definitely fans of the movie.

[@synivy4576]

The world building and creativity in this show is absolutely insane I didn’t understand much as a kid but watching this now it all comes together lol

[@sebastianpalma8221]

I just ended up crying after watching this hahaha hits so hard into my childhood... What's most incredible... I haven't watched the series since CN stopped airing it (I mean, now you have them on HBO and everywhere to watch the whole thing from the very beginning but I still haven't done that) but I actually remember at least 90% of everything as it was a major thing during my childhood... Thanks again!

[@KingsNerdCave]

Such a creative, funny, and ridiculous show that I absolutely loved when I was younger. It think it is an awesome twist that Number 1's goofy but caring father is number 0 making the main villain Father Nigel's uncle. That movie was great. Really would like to see Galactic KND, maybe with them all as teens but still working with kids. You didn't mention the Splinter Cell saga in which we find out 274 or Chad is actually undercover too and still on the side of the KND.

[@epicty3607]

seeing them as teenagers having to fight the Galactic KND would be cool

[@Juanthemovie]

its been years since ive seen KND but hearing the story again makes it sound like a fever dream

[@Bread-nx9fo]

Ugh I hated Lizzie, she basically abused Nigel throughout the entire show and then broke up with him because he was doing his job. Horrible relationship.

[@storage7279]

She was “asked” to broke up with Nigel

[@DrippleDragon]

Lizzie is a splinter cell agent everything she did was to protect and test Nigel Uno, and then she dumps him because The G:KND we’re ready to initiate him But it’s seen that Lizzie is extremely sorry,did love Nigel and is a rebel against the G:KND Ngl Lizzie is one of the most well written characters in the series

[@chelseabondzanga5922]

I think the best thing I did was rewatch this show chronologically from start to finish when I was like 15/16. I got to appreciate the story and lore behind it in its full glory.

[@magnusartifex59]

No chances the background story sequence isn't a giant reference to the Animatrix war of man vs machines. Complete with the part when they try to cut off the adults' energy only for them to return with a more advanced generation of machines. Love it.

[@Henry-lo8qo]

I got the exact same vibe, felt like they were trying to block out the sun with that whole sequence.

[@Michael-rn1mo]

That was definitely an Animatrix homage. The trial scene, the energy source, the spanking machine scene were all one for one

[@ceasuuh7098]

this show was an absolute gem from start to end! every bit of story telling and lore in this show was just absolutely amazing! i was awestruck as a kid watching this, never wanting to become an adult! will always be a KND operative 🤞🏼 would literally skip school just to watch this show when it aired again cus that’s when they showed the reruns eventually. It’s crazy to think I could recall almost every episode by heart 😅🥲 would watch this show faithfully and every rerun until they finally stopped. hopefully CN realizes the impact these types of dystopian, lore related shows had on us as kids that actually made us have an imagination; unlike those silly, dull, and dumbfounded cartoons they produce now. Take care my fellow KnD operatives and long live the KnD!!

[@wildfire9280]

This is the kind of show that you could see having Scooby Doo potential with multiple different angles on the characters, animation, plot, and just about everything. You could even get a whole new cast and keep the feel of the original going since it’s all KND.

[@tycarper6330]

Just brought back a ton of memories. I'd completely forgotten this show and remembered the entire plot watching this. Thanks for recommissioning me.

[@derekosoriomartinez5974]

I miss these kid cartoons. The ones that had a plot that connected episode to episode KINDA like an Anime Arc/storyline.

[@MrEkor69]

I'm not sure if this line is ever said in the show but "You either die a kid or live long enough to see yourself become an adult" would be perfect.

[@kitcutting]

one of the biggest cliffhangers that lived in my head rent-free for years was the Fourth Flavor. Even after becoming an adult myself, I still had a couple ideas about what it was. Banana. Pineapple. Caramel. Coffee. Unfortunately, to this day, we still have no clue what the Fourth Flavor is.

[@sunnypatel9413]

I always thought it was Mango as a kid. Glad I am not the only one who is stuck on this Fourth Flavour Episode....

[@misshollis7547]

I think it’s Coffee! It has that golden color, and kids can’t have it because they’ll get too hyper.

[@DrippleDragon]

@@sunnypatel9413if it helps you guys Nigel’s dad said Blurbule Berry Flavoring was the closest thing he ever got to retasting the 4th flavor

[@RyanEX2000]

The show doesn't take itself too seriously and shows that both sides use propaganda. Such as the fact kids didn't invent adults and that they do age over time. The one thing that always confused me was how kids were immediately, for lack of a better word, neuralized once hitting teenhood. Felt like an oversight since a kid, teen alliance could've held the line against adults.

[@jessicapinkman-hd4bw]

have you forgotten about the undercover teen spy operatives and the fact that not every adult on this show was a child murdering loonatic such as literally all of sector v's parent's dr sigmind froy lasso lass and vin moosk blah blah blah the kid's next door as far as teh main five go don't hate adult's for the sake of hating adult's it's literally even explained in later season's that they only go after adult's that are actively going out of their way to openly antagonize kid's also it obviously took itself more seriously then most other cartoon network shows going on at the time

[@jakepara]

I think this also can be seen as a metaphor to class struggle. The kids represent the proletaria/ the working class. The teens represent the middle class, and of course, the adults the bourgeoisie/upper class. The teens as seen through the show, are always been used by the adults to undermine the kids resistence and demands to a more equal system. Just like the middle class, the teens WANT to feel like the upper class, or the adults in this case. They're both the ''transition'', what lies between, these two opposing groups. But they don't realize that they have much more in common with the kids than the adults. So, they're made to antagonize the kids, almost like dispensable frontline soldies. Like in real life, the middle class wants to think they're rich, that they have political power, to taste what is like to be the opressor against a weaker party. But they will never be the actually upper class. So your observation is actually right, a kid-teen force would be much better against the adults who are actually the villains. But maybe this is a strech from my part, or just a coincidence lol.

[@Sqwivig]

​​​@@jakepara Actually your analysis makes a lot of sense!! KND is a political show. It pretends not to be, but the internal politics of how the KND operates as an organization and how it interacts with the other political forces and organizations is a central theme in the show. It shows the inherent flaws that their system has, like decommissioning and erasing the memories of the KND operatives once they turn 13. The excuse that the KND tells themselves is that teens and kids are just too different. That teens disrespect kids (which they do) ((just like how the real life middle class looks down on and disrespects the working class in real life)) and they are worried about secret information being used against them. The show is explicitly telling the audience that if the KND stopped doing this, a substantial amount of opposition could be turned into allies against the adult tyranny (again just like in real life when the working class and middle class actually work together to oppose the elite class). Because you are RIGHT! The teens are treated with the same level of disregard and disrespect from the adults that the kids also suffer from. Despite wanting to be in their group, they are still ostracized the same ways that the kids are. It WOULD be in the best interest of the teens and the kids to join forces, but the KND refuses to do so. It IS a metaphor for the working class, middle class, and the rich elites. It's also a metaphor for how humans tend to treat one another based on age. MAN this show has some LAYERS!! No wonder I turned into a political junkie lol

[@BrianSilva-oc7xg]

There are alot of long paragraph commits, so I'll make it short. There was a Jr. High rebellion of '99, that put pitted Jr. High teens that were in the KND against High school teenagers, in which they use the recommissioning device that was 'damaged beyond repair'. So they made a firm rule of all teenagers to avoid the calamity again. Source: Operation ZERO.

[@FenekkuKitsune]

I think it was due to hormones a la Puberty. It's possible the adults created aging and the KND couldn't stop them before it spread, creating a "middle point" where kids change sides whether they want to or not. There ARE teens out there that are still allied with KND but they're probably kept on a leash in case they "turn".

[@MichellaneousMe]

I loved this show and never realized just how deep the lore went. Shows how much I paid attention to the plot. Also that chicken pox episode always made me squirm seeing those little chickens on their faces

This era of tv was the greatest of all time. I genuinely and I mean truly, don’t know if there has ever been an era of tv where back-to-back shows could come on for hours without being semi marathons like they have now. It could legit be a lineup of like 10 different shows in a row. This also makes me appreciate Ben 10 more because that show carried CN on its back for a minute through the CN real era.

[@trishlynwilliams6648]

My biggest question was about sector Z. Cause if i remember correctly, they were supposed to be Monty’s team but I never thought that was the intention. I always thought that Father had adopted all five of them and they had a Fanny/Big Boss relationship where they were both on opposite sides of the war, but he used the chamber to create delightful children and used his own kids to do it. It makes sense when you think about how no one was looking for them

They are called sector V. Not five. This is how you can tell that the person reading the pages never seen the show

[@josephocchipintivines]

V is a roman numeral for 5 I’m surprised no one in the comments pointed it out also I’ve seen the show before

[@TheSUPREMEWAR]

Uhh don’t V means 5? Lol

[@ReinSouls]

@@TheSUPREMEWAR V is in fact the roman numeral 5 yes. However, the Sectors are labeled by the Latin alphabet. Numbah 2 visits Sector A in Operation A.M.I.S.H. And most notably, the Delightful Children From Down The Lane are the lost members of Sector Z (as mentioned in the video). So calling Sector V "Sector 5" isn't correct with how the Sectors get their name.

[@Krugis-Punk]

In fact, Numbuh 1 calls it Sector V on 27:10

[@Uncle-Jay]

I remember growing up I really disliked KND, I thought it was pretty stupid. I remember being pissed off when they "won" that contest to be on CN because I was rooting for Billy and Mandy, but I've always been a fan of horror in general. Thankfully they both ended up with their own series. I don't remember how it happened but a couple of years ago I ended up watching KND again and the later seasons had some really good writing and honestly, I really enjoyed how they wrapped it up. Unfortunately not every cartoon with a semblance of a consistent story manages to do that, either they shit the bed or get cancelled or something. Probably unpopular opinion, but I really disliked how Adventure Time wrapped up and then when they did those "movies" none of them really managed to scratch the itch of knowing what happened to Finn as an adult. I really enjoyed the last one where they're dead and save the afterlife and I feel like they did a really good job reintroducing the Lich again, but it was bitter sweet for me, because my friends were dead and I didn't know anything about what happened in between besides a few odds and ends. And then to add insult to injury I ended up subbing to the comic series that was supposed to be a new cannon "season" only for it to get cancelled. Edit: Just heard about the new AT spin-off series, unless there's gonna be some lore drops for the original I'm probably not gonna watch it.

this was probably one of the only cartoons i was heavily invested in and cared about every single character introduced in the series. come to think of it, the way they introduced more and more characters as the overarching plot progressed, it felt like how the marvel cinematic universe was treated. the KND was just on that level, no other cartoon could be compared to it.
