(JN anon) Nothing against memes either, been in my brain since pre-Youtube. But yeah, between those and in-jokes breaching containment; taking things even MORE out-of-context and years-long misunderstandings coming out of it. Some sites are just not good for extensive, critical reviewing.
Technically doesn’t count as “town-disrupting”, but there’s also the camping episode where Hugh’s bravado almost got the kids and himself mauled by a bear. Judy also confirming she had put a tracking device in him at some point. (And this is an episode where an invention didn’t cause the issue)
Generally makes me wonder how a season 4 would have gone, cause I wouldn’t be surprised if episodes began to gave frequent mood whiplashes with scattered breathing room. (Something that can work for the series, but needs very precise execution to pull off. {Think FMA or Soul Eater} Always felt like they try to push their limits each season)
And it gives him a time to reflect. Jimmy can definitely trust others with certain inventions, but if he can’t trust that something won’t go wrong when HE’S the user; you have to do some serious convincing. Which is something to think about when he’s growing more ambitious with age. (Hmm, I chalked it up to lost of confidence, possibly guilt for Libby turning out like that. Killing science for him. He still had the skill, just no drive [or willpower]. Also, since it seems she lost her friendship with Libby and now married to the man whose invention was responsible, Cindy probably gave up on him ever fixing it)
"Jimmy Neutron out off context, but it's a bunch of people on twitter"
Ye, they also get lost in the woods in this one because Hugh is not really good at camping (and navigation by landmarks apparently)
The lore implication of Judy putting a tracking device in him is always get me lol
Again, I don't take all gags too seriously, because of the episodic nature of the show and if you do try to take every gag seriously it quickly becomes a hot mess (and I largely just joke about something being a lore implication), but Huge being a menace to society is kinda just a canon thing lol
Oh I wonder about it way too often! Mostly because I genuinely have 0 idea how the actual season 4 would be if it existed in our timeline lol
But I agree that they really expanded limits and "up stakes" with each season, so it wouldn't be out of character for them to actually up it for one last time for grand finale (that is if they'd know from the start that this is the last season, which, I think, is important for the end result)
((sometimes comparing stakes and scale of typical episode of S1 to S2 and S3 is really funny))
I think it is an interesting thing to think how his ambitions, and by extension inventions, would be manifested in the world in adulthood, like to what extent it open and such
I actually found that, in my opinion, the result you get is kinda depends on in what world you put him into, and, I mean this is obvious, but if you put him in more of a OG version, I get that he is more open to the world with his inventions and their availability, but if you modify it into more realistic you get different, more limited results (I mean, this is obvious, but I just found it interesting how the world is affecting it, but I still think that, even in more realistic version, he'd want to put things into the world, just more of a quality of life things and less "space and time manipulation" for general and militarily us and such)
Also a valid one! There isn't a lot of info about how they ended up in this situation to say definitively why he is like this in the bad future. He still has at least some skill but, in the same time, there is moments of him struggling with basic math, and something about how he is animated reminds me about the Normal boy episode, but a bit less exaggerated
Also yes, just judging by the fact that she is living in a shed-ex-lab with her mother, she is most definitely doesn't have any "friend privilege" from Libby, this is to say, their situation is pretty sad in bad future (I meant it is the bad dictatorship future after all)
Just really hope they have a lot better future and relationship in good timeline (just let my idiots be happy)
