[@BluffsCastle]

In the US version of the show, they gave Peso a Hispanic accent, and they were so real for that. I will never not see Peso as Hispanic. In case anyone didn't know, they often make American English dubs of British preschool shows, and vice versa, so that small kids don't pick up the "wrong accent." This results in characters gaining accents and replacing terminology.

[@AthenaPOfficial]

You will soon see US dub Peso is the only one I acknowledge 🤌

[@sarahcat4539]

I'm not surprised the polar bear survived, but the fact that everyone else did is amazingly impressive

[@gailasprey7787]

@@leftleglegsame. The characters are surprisingly distinct and I remember their personalities well. Barnacles is very selfless, almost to the point of it being a flaw. He risks his life on so many occasions to save the people of his group and saving these animals. Quazi is charismatic and a storyteller, Peso is the definition of a therapist friend, always there for you. I love how they’re all given that personality to them and I remember them fondly because of it. I think the fault of kids shows is always when they have bad characters. Caillou is a very hated show because it hasn’t got good characters. But octonauts has very fun and charming characters.

[@pocketproductions7206]

Fun fact wearing an eyepatch over a functional eye is likely historically accurate with the most likely theory’s we have using pirate and raiders logs and general educated guesses, it’s because the bellow deck of a ship was really dark most of the time so a captain would wear an eye patch over one eye and then swap the sides over so their eye that is already adjusted to the dark was out making it so they were able to adjust on the fly for anything!

[@Sasha-zw9ss]

My headcanon is that the covered eye is just massively weaker, and he refuses to wear any vision correction.

[@gingermaniac5484]

@@Sasha-zw9ss which would be especially funny, because he'd likely be prescribed wearing an eyepatch over his good eye to strengthen the bad one! (depending what the problem was) so his doctor/optomitrist could see him wearing his prescribed eyepatch wrong and be like T-T "WHY"

[@sarahcat4539]

That's very interesting My personal head cannon is that quasi actually has kittens That's why he's on babysitting duty most of the time because even though his kids are somewhat grown he's the only one who is an actual parent and the reason he was an eye patch is one of his kittens actually needs one so he wears it so it doesn't feel alone and he keeps it right in it to remind him of them i don't know I just really like parent cozy I just find that so adorable

[@LillianGraceFullofficial]

40:54 Headcanon: Dashie advised her against joining the Octonauts because it’s hella dangerous and she doesn’t want her girlfriend to get hurt by becoming a literal ocean first responder!

Hearing that Peso isn’t Latino in the British dub was distressing. One of the reasons he’s my favorite character is because he reminds me of my dad who happens to be a Latino doctor. (My dad and I used to watch Octonauts together, so the similarity was especially obvious to me.)

[@narimene2848]

[@thanatoast]

I mean, he was literally a Chilean species of penguin that is named Peso. It just doesn't make sense to give him anything but a latin american accent.

I love how close the Octonauts are with each other and genuinely feel like a family. I feel like with most kid shows they always make the main characters fight each other for conflict and always use the excuse of “the power of friendship” to make up when they don’t seem to be friends at all. I would give everything to go on an adventure with the Octonauts because I know they’ll treat me like one of them

Peso is defiantly one of my favorites. also... British Peso?! I- that hurts my brain. Octonauts was one of my childhood favorite shows :)

I remember one episode where barnicles is left alone with tunip on the octopod and is anxious the whole time, helping the vegimals cook to distract himself. I don't know if it was an episode or just in my head. And my Favorites are between shellington and kwazzi. I honestly shipped them at one point in life. Same with peso and kwazzi. I searched ao3 and wattpad for octonauts fanfics. 😅 Anyways I love your theories and your content. ❤❤❤

[@_astrolol_5467]

I actually loved this show as a kid. Like so much. I had every plushy and figure set and a replica of the ship. I pretended to be the polar bear one. He was my hero.

[@alexjewett7455]

37:03 here's a "fun" fact, depending on your definition, but while penguins don't have teeth in the traditinal sense, their mouths are full of razor sharp spikes that serve a similar function, including on their tongues. Because nature is horrifying sometimes.

[@CanyonCoyote]

Well, it's implied that Barnacles is less afraid of tight spaces in general and more nervous about being in tunnels specifically, so maybe I can forgive that. As an aside, Shellington gets called "Swimmington" at one point lol. And Ryla does appear in Above & Beyond from time to time

I was a soprano, prized in my high school choir, selected to sing the highest of notes, and even the notes I hit in my long teenage history were not higher than the octave I hit just now when I said, "Athena P is doing OCTONAUTS?!"

[@theelasticmissionaryfromma6167]

I don’t think anyone will see this but the reason captain barnacle was a twin and his sister has twins is because polar bears have cubs in sets of two

Athena, if you see this, THANK YOU for covering the only lonely monster book! I had a lot of the same questions, especially about Tweak glowing in the dark although I wish the series gave more of an explanation.

[@Bluemage286]

Fun fact the original artist and writer also designed the 2010 Vancouver winter Olympic mascots, which is very obvious after you look at the trio. Also makes it even more odd that the mascots didn't get a TV show like previous mascots. ..

Here’s something you might not know is the Chinese version of this show has more episodes than the U.S and UK version and they never redub it and I think there making more and even in the above and beyond series and new characters too that were aren’t getting for US And UK version But something that might freak you out THEY CUSS ON THE CHINESE VERSION

[@whatalsaid]

You should do a Monster High lore video. Like, for a brand that’s only a little over 10 years old, it’s already rebooted itself thrice and has accumulated a TON of lore. For example, did you know that Draculaura was actually adopted by Dracula during Roman times and he only changed her into a vampire because she was dying of the plague?

I LOVE Octonots, it's essentially my Bluey show I go out of my way to get cute little Octonauts merch because honestly the show is so cozy and teaches you interesting facts. Especially love how everyone here appreciates the US dub version of peso with his Hispanic accent that is the only and true find way I know peso not anyone else it sounds weird if he's it doesn't have that cute little accent. I'm so glad you covered this and I was hoping you would and believe me you've only touched the tip of the iceberg with more episodes to come they'll be more Theory crafting in the future. 😂😂

A personal head cannon that I have is that Quasi back in his pirate days was a sort of vigilante Robinhood expiry, he only attacks and pillages the ships of the other pirates that attack and pillage the innocent ships, and help rescues all of the other ships that are in trouble to the confusion and fair of those clomides who think that they're going to die and instead this pirate crew give some metal attention to the rest of their abilities fixes their ship and leave some with gold, i also imagine that when quasi first joins the Octonauts keep starting to give the ocean creatures gold because he thinks that's going to help because it helps it is pirates days

Hi! I’m a frequent contributor to the Octonauts wiki, and have been since 2020 :) I genuinely adored this video so much after a long time of waiting for it, and I’m glad that the wiki as a resource served you well with all the fun trivia and facts!!!

[@kwowka]

Octonauts was so big for all us autistic kids, but my parents loved it because were Australian, so like, learning to swim at 1 and put in waves where tourists die by five. Taught us to respect the ocean, and treat its creatures with a healthy fear. When captain barnacle got stung by a jellyfish, I learnt to avoid jellyfish at all costs, a lesson that was beneficial when I stumbled across a box jellyfish while running around rock pools. Those things are deadly, but I was safe- I didn’t cover it in sand because I’m not a monster and I backed away carefully. Also it made me get a special interest in sharks (how dare you call the great whale shark a whale) and memorise like every shark ever. A marine biologist came to a book festival once with a port Jackson shark egg,,, she was playing this game of ‘guess what this is’ and it was clearly supposed to be the impossible question, but I, 4 years old and autistic af, confidently answered and talked about how the corkscrew is used to keep them in place and how cool it is that sharks give birth to live young and lay eggs and the marine biologist looked at me like I had grown horns lmao. Apparently I was the first person who wasn’t a marine biologist to know that she’d met. Anyway yeah octonauts. Also I’m sorry but British peso is my childhood and the idea of clips from this video having American accents is genuinely making me cry a little I wish I was kidding. But I’ll watch because your comments are interesting. Also sharks are so cool! They’re awesome! I used to have 10 little floaty sharks that were a bunch of species and I would take them down to the section of the river that meets the sea and go up to the kite surfers and explain them to them before getting scared and running back to this rock where I would lay them out by different traits and resort them.

[@winterwolf9323]

My favorite part is all of their characters in general. Captain Barnacle's fear of small spaces from a traumatic experience as a kid. Peso's kind spirit and his experience helping a baby octopus/squid find it's way home (and his family). Kwazi's energy and family dynamic. And I can't think of any more but you get the point. I like the characters.

[@Pan-ws1ek]
