EENE Season 2 Discussion Question

Do you think Jimmy was really hurt when the clothes pin dropped on his foot in Cry Ed?

[eenefangirlanalysis]

Unfortunately Jimmy’s slapstick magnet pulls him in at the wrong time.

He’s tripped up by a clothes pin. It’s funny how clothes pins have always been a danger for Jimmy. One ‘broke’ his toe in Cry Ed.

Bouncing off a chair and flying through the air he lands in a pile of laundry knocking it over.

The Kanker Sister’s!!

Okay, so we’re like 33 minutes into the movie.

The Kanker’s barely have an hour in the movie! This is unfair! 

Okay, I know a lot of fans hate the Kanker’s because of what they have done to torment the Ed’s or even the kids. They do bring an unsettling tone. The girls jump the Ed’s holding them down while kissing them without their consent. Interestingly, I learned that they have quite the fanbase during their appreciation month in July.

The Kanker’s bring a unique touch to the series. A touch of reality.

They lead a very different life from everyone else. Whenever viewers see them they have a different storyline or subplot. They’re not on the same page as the kids. They’re motivation is usually to torment them in whatever way they can. 

And however way fans see it, the Kanker’s are very poor. They’re standoffish when it comes to interacting with the world. They’re hardly talk to anyone besides themselves and the Ed’s.

They just moved into the neighborhood as Lee explains in Nagged to Ed. They live in this disheveled trailer park with their mom who is implied to always be working. The girls have had a series of father’s. Their mother clearly has a dislike for men and hasn’t given her girls the right lessons on men. We can only imply that the Kanker’s actions around the Ed’s is the way their mother used to act.

The Kanker’s are played off as the antagonist. In the series. After A Fistful of Ed I don’t seem them in that role anymore. Have you noticed how the girls back off from the Ed’s? Okay, they do use them as weapons in May I Have this Ed, but they never once try to jump or approach them during the dance.

When Eddy stood up to them in Fistful it affected them. Since their mother constantly working they don’t have another parents figure to discipline them. The male figures they’ve had in their lives are implied to have never cared about them. 

All except one. In Jingle Jingle Jangle there is a Christmas card sitting on the table in the background. I theorize that although the marriage didn’t work out one of the Dad’s wanted to stay around to help. He’s not there as often enough as he should. And I think whenever he is around he’s sheepish around the girls. They’re each from a different marriage and things are strained between his ex-wife.

What I’m trying to pinpoint is that when Eddy stood up to them it made them think about their ways. In between Fistful and May I Have this Ed their mother finally sat down with her daughters to give them a talk. She learns that it wasn’t right for her to talk trash about men. I also believe that she is guilty for always leaving them alone. She, as their mother, needs to be a part of her girls life to watch them grow.

Many believe that the Kanker’s learn and do nothing throughout the course of the movie. Oh, we will analyze on that.

So, the Kanker’s are outside doing chores. They have to do all their laundry outside. I’m surprised that they don’t have a working washer and dryer on the inside. Then again, it shows you how they have to work around what they don’t have seeing how they’re poor.

The girls are also wearing different outfits.

Lee is wearing a striped shirt and what looks to be sweat pants. Her hair is up in rollers.

Marie has her usual attire on but the cuffs on her shirt look different. There is also a lighting bolt printed on her shirt. I have never seen her wear a hat before. That’s a cool look. 

And May is in her underwear.

Marie and Lee blame May for knocking over the laundry.

And then they punish her for whatever reason.

Why does May get all the abuse?

Are Lee and Marie jealous of her?

May is the favorite among the fanbase. She practically got a whole eene special centered around her. And she also started separating herself from her sisters wanting to explore her Independence more. I think that May has been making friends outside her sisters. Lee and Marie would rather keep to themselves then be a part of the world. It may be due to how they’ve been raised. Their mother constantly had to move them making them miss out on trying to explore the world.

I also have a head canon that they never went to school at the age they were supposed to go. Fans have questioned why they’re all in the same grade at school while they’re supposed to be different ages.

I think Lee is fourteen, Marie is thirteen, while May is twelve. May started school right when she was five, but Lee and Marie were a little older. They were never able to interact with their own age group. If this is true it gives some insight on why Lee goes after Eddy, a boy 1 ½ or 2 years younger then her.

Although dimwitted, May is very social. She does mirror her sisters actions like going after the Ed’s and tormenting the kids. No matter how different she is May is not perfect. Nobody is perfect. 

That’s another reason why the Kanker’s don’t want the world to know about the way they live their lives. Others may feel sorry for them and automatically will try to help. The Kanker’s are happy. If this is the way they live their life then they will continue.

Jimmy peaks out. Oh, no. Will he escape?

Or will the Kanker’s give him a free card because he made a deal with them in If It Smells Like an Ed?
