[@MrMike855]

With regards to Ms. Fowl's age, in "How to Sink a Sub" she says she's been teaching for 74 years. Since the episode came out in 2006, that means she's been teaching since 1932 and, assuming she got a degree from a 4-year college and started teaching immediately after (kind of a stretch since it was the height of the Great Depression, but it makes more sense that a person with a bachelor's degree would get a teaching job right away rather than a high-school graduate or someone with an associate's degree) she'd be 96, and born in 1910. Thus, she would've been 18 in 1928, allowing her to dance with Calvin Coolidge when he was still president and, in "Make Room for Daddy-O" she says she can remember the 1st Father's Day Folly. The episode came out in 2003, and it was the 82nd Father's Day Folly, meaning it would've first been held in 1921, when Ms. Fowl was 11 like the main cast is. It all makes perfect sense. Also there's a one-off line in "Journey to the Center of Carl" when she says "teaching is the only thing keeping me alive", sounds like an exaggeration, but based on her age, and how often very elderly people like routine, it may not be that exaggerated.

[@gregjayonnaise8314]

You don’t know how SEEN I felt with Sheen. Being a kid who hyper fixated on random bullshit and who struggled with school and paying attention and had a habit of being loud and having no self awareness, it hit too close to home. Also, in Jimmy’s defense, while he’s a little shit, he is only smart academically and still has the emotional maturity and impulses of a regular child. Kids tend to be selfish and shortsighted, and Jimmy’s maturity has been heavily altered by his higher-than-average intelligence. This is why his inventions are all stuff a KID would want, like traveling bubblegum, rockets, and ice cream machines. His ideology of “everything will be okay in the end because I can just fix it” is seemingly based in the fact that, every time something goes wrong, he CAN eventually fix it. Therefore he sees his malfunctioning inventions as momentary disruptions and wrongly perceived that it’s the same way for everyone else, and therefore doesn’t see an issue with indulging in selfishness because he never has to deal with the long lasting consequences of his inventions. That’s not an excuse, but just an interpretation. It almost reminds me of Goliad from Adventure Time. Her sense of morality was heavily warped by her vast power and lack of empathy and comprehension of other people.

[@Chemicaldessert]

Yeah that's the thing about gifted kids, they're still kids. They can be very intelligent but still immature and often an unfortunate consequence of their intelligence is being privy to information or given privileges that would normally be deemed inappropriate for a child. Ultimately in adulthood this leads to a variety of social and emotional issues Edited to add: young children are, to some extent kind of sociopathic and anti social, it takes time for them to develop empathy and the ability to foresee consequences to their actions. They also often don't understand the permanence of death, if you've ever dealt with a grieving child they often ask when the deceased will come back or they can see them again

I never realized how much neurodivergence awareness this show had. Hyper fixations, Sheen clearly being ADHD coded, Carl might be on the spectrum, Jimmy with a superiority complex, most of the characters show symptoms of anxiety and depression in multiple instances...I know it all usually fits under the scenarios that occur episode by episode, but some traits stick with the characters throughout, and it's refreshing to see a show I grew up with subtly helped me through a lot of my own issues without me ever realizing...

My favorite fan theory is actually about that episode where Jimmy and Cindy swap bodies. There's a joke about a the last trait they're sorting. "Dislikes boys who dislike girls who dislike show-offy boys..." or something like that. It's got a long name and they just want things over with, so they throw it away. Coincidentally, after this, the Jimmy and Cindy romance really starts to kick into gear. (Supposedly. i haven't verified this.) But the theory is that this trait, whoever it belonged to, is the main thing that was preventing them from getting together, and it's literally been deleted from existence.

[@jorymo4964]

Come to think of it, I wonder if that bit was a reference to the songs "Girls & Boys" by Blur. "Girls who want boys Who like boys to be girls Who do boys like they're girls Who do girls like they're boys"

[@Clockworks1441]

From what I read, Jimmy Neutron's own creators barely know what happened. Time constraints were insane, especially for how advanced the animation was for the time. From the animators & writers' perspective, it was all one big fever dream where they hadn't slept in 3 days and were only running on red bell (this is an exaggeration but you get the idea). They knew there were plot holes and animations errors, they just gave no fucks and slapped it out as fast as possible. So it honestly makes sense for so many inconsistencies

I just think it's funny to imagine them both being like "Yeah fuck Cindy we got each other" LMAO

[@Shadowonwater]

I completely forgot about the peeing duck toy until you mentioned it then I remembered it very clearly. It was hiding in the recessives of my mind, and you have dug it up.

[@jill9978]

One thing that cracks me up about the Nicktoons Unite teamup is that Spongebob is the adult chaperone of the dynamic.

[@eatsteas]

I never saw this show because I wasn't allowed to watch nickelodeon as a child but honestly it seems like it would've been right up my alley. It looks absolutely bonkers. Love your videos!!

[@elitettelbach4247]

Yesss so happy you dove into this show fully. I also really appreciated that some of the characters got updated designs, it’s something that feels so obvious as a way to show either passage of time or character growth, and yet happens far less often than you’d imagine. Some of the inventions were very cool yet also terrifying if you considered the implications. You’re so right that everyone had a power trip. I absolutely loved Trading Faces specifically for the scene of Carl, Sheen, and Libby trying to reassign character traits to Jimmy and Cindy and then just giving up and choosing randomly. Really giving us another example of how fickle the friendships of ten year olds are. Also Win, Lose, Kaboom for being a fun parody of reality tv! I remember watching the movie in theaters and to this day I still absolutely love the camera tracking when Jimmy is bouncing around in his bubble, it made me feel like I was bouncing too and I love that.

JIMMY NEUTRON: Cosmic SciFi Horror for babies

[@lemonberryconda]

Absolutely magnificent job on the outfit and makeup for this video! You put so much work and dedication into your analysis of these cartoons and are amazingly funny in your reaction content, book reviews, AND shorts! Excited to see what's next but for now I have 48 minutes of awesomeness to accompany me in all my travels.

[@mase_void]

This video made me realize, it's not that I didn't watch Jimmy neutron that caused me not to remember much of this show. I'm 100% sure my brain locked away my memories of watching this show because it was so traumatic. Literally seeing and hearing about these episodes completely unlocked each of my locked away memories of these.

[@ThePhantomTomo]

The existence of his daughter proves that Professor Calamitous was able to finish at least one thing.

[@girlybabyhedgehog]

Doesn't technically

[@RetroDark2008]

Honestly I was always afraid of Jimmy and I didn’t know why… Until now.

[@DarkMasterofCupcakes]

You have no idea how hard I nodded when you called Sheen and Libby the superior ship. We don't get a lot of focus on them, but they really are sweet together.

[@joseybryant7577]

Didn't mention that Fowl literally called Sheen a loser, in the science fair episode. Absolutely brutal.

[@ryugagotokyun]

ant bully is surprisingly a lot more popular here in brazil. a bunch of people my age watched this movie when they were kids and they enjoyed it a lot (myself included) lol

[@TheMimic12]

Thank you Athena I've spent 15 years periodically trying to stop "AIN'T NO LOVIN' MY MAAAN, SHOO-WHOP, SHOO-WHOP!" playing on loop in my brain and now it's back.

[@freshcupofangst]

I was obsessed with this show as a kid, but weirdly enough I don't actually remember that much from it. Excited to see what weird shit went over my head

[@reubendensmore4648]

Stellar review! This and SpongeBob were two of the biggest shows from my childhood that weren't exclusively forgotten and for preschoolers (a couple of which you've covered). A show I would highly recommend for a future deep dive would be pre-2015 Bob the Builder. Everyone knows it but rarely talks about it. There's quite a lot of details from that show that are quite fascinating, like did you know Bob tried to teach Eminem how to use a chainsaw?

[@hurricanejaney]

Athena hasn’t covered Bob the Builder?? hmmm…can we fix it? 🤔

[@reubendensmore4648]

@@hurricanejaney Maybe

[@Sammy_The_Umbreon]

I rewatch this from time to time and always forget the NU section. WHICH IS HILARIOUS BECAUSE THIS VIDEO ALWAYS GETS RECOMMENDED TO ME WHEN I GET BACK IN THE NU FANDOM. Anyways, gotta love the fandom that game spawned. It's so fun to simply have these characters interact. Honestly much better than a lot of shows I've seen.

[@chronoxxe]

I’m so glad you found the Nicktoons Unite fandom, I stumbled upon it recently and it’s literally became one of my favorite fandoms I’ve ever encountered. Plus I’ve always been a sucker for crossover fan work anyways.

[@marsverb]

It's so refreshing to see someone mention an obscure fandom phenomenon like the Nicktoons Unite thing and celebrating the love and creativity behind it instead of immediately going "Ewwww cringe"! You've gotten a new subcriber just for that, Athena!

[@kolonarulez5222]

I remember 6yo me in the theater on an emotional roller coaster being in love with Jimmy, then crying scared at Poultra, and then the end when he grows giant just stuck in my head for years and I never could explain why lol

[@builtintripping]

heyo, i made that fanart from 46:37 and 46:53 (sasa lele and winter themed) and i just wanted to say it's such an honor to be featured in the nicktoons unite section of this video!! you're right, the fandom has some really wack content and we find it fascinating how people still remember these shows and reinterpret these blorbos in a way that makes these nostalgia icon feels refereshing to look at!! that asides, your video's so in-depth and hilarious in a totally good way!! i grew up watching the movie w/o being too familiar with the series (altho some episodes remain memorable to me) and thanks to your vid, i'm now even more excited to binge watch this series soon!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@caseyjones-esque]

The doppelgänger situation and the character model who stuck around even after moving to another school, plus the animation errors can be explained very easily: Blackouts. They pumped out as much work as they could but studio blackouts would halt it. They would cut corners by reusing models and letting quality assurance fall to the wayside. I think they may have been slightly underpaid as well, but I don’t want to spread rumors.

[@miles_quartz]

I eat your videos up like spaghetti noodles like i seriously cannot get enough of it, i love hearing you talk endlessly about cartoon lore and history it's like peak content for me and your editing style and humor is the freaking cherry on top ugh I wish I could give this 100 likes, maybe even more

[@aurahoneydew9607]

The Hypno-Ray and reoccurring of hypnosis in the show needed more attention in this. Since it was a great way to have the most grounded character (Judy Neutron) be wilder than Hugh without falling to just making two airheads, instead to put her in a different mindset with hypnosis (best running gag ever), Or how the hypno-ray is apparently the strongest thing in the universe it can totally rewrite your mind and cross universes as seen in that trident ad and is just as powerful on nonNeutronverse humans. Then is there that Granny Tater episode!

[@Userwithaname964]

I literally had a friend when I was ten who was bribed with cupcakes to no be my friend anymore, no supprise Jimmy's friends were bribed so easily tbh

[@winterwonderland1491]

List of suggestion: Jake and the neverland pirates Mickey Mouse clubhouse (the ANIMATED VERSION) Jane and the dragon Fresh beat band Wild kratts And octonaughts

[@g00dbunny]

Oh hey

[@ouroboroscackling]

fun fact for anyone curious, since it was mentioned at some point in the video: the vulcan salute is actually modeled after a hand gesture that Cohenim use while blessing their congregation. the original gesture is a bit different but it's essentially the same thing. leonard nimoy took a peak one day at temple during the prayer and was so mystified, he decided to incorporate it into his interpretation of spock (if you didn't know leonard nimoy was jewish, now you do!) inb4 "who cares" people with curiosity do. shalom ✌️🧿

[@cloudyycolfer]

i don’t even watch jimmy neutron BUT THE GASP i just gasped seeing this notification

[@amesstarline5482]

Strangely enough, Pigtails Cindy shows up in Nicktoons Unite.

[@foxcooper8091]

Absolutely love Athena's reviews so I thought I'd recommend a pair of shows for her to check out 1. Sarah and duck: This is a really cute show that was a major part of my childhood but can still enjoy, also the shenanigans and continuity errors are amazing (it's on Amazon prime) 2. Just add magic: Cooking, and magic, two of my favorite things, and it beautifly ties cg and live acting, the plot is amazing (also on Amazon prime)

[@sapphanimates]

GOTTA BLAST BOIS LETS GOOOO! Haven't seen the full thing yet but GREAT JOB ATHENA ANOTHER GREAT LORE VIDEO KEEP IT UPPP!!!

[@rolay7730]

I can't wait for Athena to eventually cover the fairly OddParents. The massive Tesla coil is odd, but it is nothing compared to the Hall of infamy. I don't know this for sure, but I think one of the kids started WWI. How many other Fairys have carnage on that scale?

[@ajstudios9210]

This was an amazing analysis. 😊👏👏👏 As a kid, I knew Jimmy could be a bit insensitive but it never occurred to me just how insensitive and concerning he was in some episodes, or anyone else in the show, especially in Season 1. It really sheds a new light on evil Jimmy and his alternate world where everyone's an ass.

[@genrecritical]

love you queen thank you for covering a cornerstone of my childhood

[@LordNibbler22]

Blasted my childhood apart and I love it 😂 great makeup as well!

[@statsy150]

Can we all agree the next show should be bluey? There’s a little less to talk about due to it being more slice of life but she could definitely go on a tangent about dog racism/the miscarriage

[@Jacob630]

NO PEPPA PIG

[@KazLordOfLightWarriors]

See, the third Jimmy Timmy power hour movie had permanent effects on my interests with the idea of Shirly (The villain) making his own dimension and just taking the people and areas from other dimensions and placing them into his own. That's an idea that has stuck with me for almost 2 decades now and is something I love to think about with various games and anime universes.

[@mazkerayde]

Hey, I think you'd like Wicked Science; it's an Australian show made in 2004 about a boy named Toby, his childhood friend Russell, and a new transfer student clique, Dina. They are a trio of high school students, and toby, through weird hijinks, becomes a genius. But he's still a dumb high school student, maybe a more of a know it all, but he has these moments where his brain gets super oversized and extra wrinkly, and he invents things. Another group of three also act like his rival Elizabeth, her friend minion Verity, and her Brawn boy minion Garth. Oh, but the twist is the blonde girl, aka Elizabeth, is also big-brained. The show is essential for a problem or something they want to do. Toby gets a wrinkled brain and invents something. Somthing happens, Elizabeth receives a big brain moment inventory moment and fucks it up. Or it's the opposite. She creates something and fucks shit up, and Toby needs to invest something. Its kinda hard to explain, but. It's genuinely episodic, with a story in the back that slowly makes itself more known. And finally, Elizabeth and Toby lose their Big brain ability and return to their everyday lives. . . . But there's a season two, so. Yeah, it would be an cool show to talk about.

[@athenathejester]

Can we talk about how my boi sheen got a show 🥺so happy for him

[@dylandotwhat524]

So glad you talked about Nicktoons Unite, 10/10 the game and fandom are amazing

[@avastoyboxandarcade]

I just found this channel and I love you already.

[@TreyC68]

Okay now that I know that Nicktoons Unite is a thing I want a crossover special about it Edit:If they were an Elite Four then Danny would be ghost, Timmy would be fairy, Jimmy would be psychic, and SpongeBob would be water

[@idolevin8795]

Fun fact: "The Junkman Cometh" is a reference to Eugene O'Neil play "The Iceman Cometh". The "Iceman" in question is of a similar function to a "mailman" or "milkman" today (i.e. having a child with the mailman / milkman).

[@malikam6166]

9:13 That transition added 3 years to my lifespan and I dont know whether to thank you or not.. Love your content, keep up the great work 👍

[@pineappleboidraws]

9:09 I like to think that Poltra is more akin to Cthulhu in those regards, a being that can control the universe but has the soul goal of overtaking it, so it was locked away and has to be given a sacrifice every so often in order to keep it contained or it’ll destroy anyone and everyone it sees fit

[@werce9120]

Jimmy Timmy power hour is peak crossover fiction and nobody can convince me otherwise

[@kratangg-arang]

Another hour-long JN video? Yes! This is the perfect show for an Athena P. deranged spiral. Can’t wait for the Carl facehugger episode.

[@mars5920]

Parroting what someone else said, would love to see one of these deep doves for Kids Next Door! That cartoon was insane with its lore

[@GenAqua]

I love your videos. Evil Jimmy sounds like he's doing a Jack Nicholson impersonation....I love Rob Paulsen.

[@sarakennedy3467]

I can't lie the episode of Carl becoming pregnant from the alien really creeped me out, especially with how everyone was ok with it

[@michaelahuss2123]

I can’t imagine how much time the preparation for this video must’ve taken, thank you for this!! Definitely a nostalgia blast! ⚛️

[@alfabsc]

I love the musical references. "I Dream of Carl" sounds like "I Dream of Genie" tv theme for example. "Beach Party Mummy" sounds like a mash up of every tune by the Beach Boys and Cindy dances just like Annette Funicello. "Raise the Oozy Scab" sounds like "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea". Thanks for sharing this.

[@emopossum6530]

seeing these lore videos, especially the PBS kids ones, brings me back to my childhood like crazy. you should do an analysis on Arthur, or Cyberchase. also, is that a bisexual button up?!
