This clock has garlic in it. Poptropica with the details.

I saw your tags in the analysis post. I know just enough about Dr. Twobrains so uhhh I would like to hear your full character analysis on Dr. Hare.

So long story short I think Dr. Hare is in a similar situation to Dr. Twobrains, and what I mean by that is that Steven (past Twobrains) is considered a completely different character to Twobrains. Not in the way that people don't know, they know, but in the way Twobrains is a weird fusion between Steven and Squeaky, including thoughts and memories, which as we see are altered because of it. And that Steven sometimes does show up in Twobrains, but not enough to where it's considered "him" again. I just think that that might be what Dr. Hare is going through.

I just realized the Brainiacs stage looks like a robot head with a visible brain. Cool.

This character defeated a bunch of super villains and a Greek god, and they're afraid of regular burglars.

Nerd time: I really like the hints the writers put into the scenes in order for kids to use their thinking skills to figure out what to do. It's not appreciated enough. Example: these hints that you need to put pomegranates in Hades's temple in order to get in.

For the longest time I've wondered why Loverboy and Lovergirl weren't seen in Raven's cage, and who these two random monsters were. Last year I figured out the answer to both those questions.

Interestingly enough, these two aren't seen trying to stop Dr. Dan from leaving in the bonus quest.

Junior and his father are also not seen there. Junior's father has expressed some trauma, I guess, about what happened with Bird Boy.

Conclusion: Loverboy, Lovergirl, and Junior's dad were so traumatized by monsters that they decided they didn't care about Dr. Dan.

And Junior already doesn't care about anyone, so...

Do you guys remember the Baron's Crusade miniquest that implied Captain Crawfish either quit or died? 

And the weird symbols in Goofball Island and the Baron's Crusade? 

Or if Grapple-Pap was Rumpelstiltskin's dad? 

Or the connection between Astro-Knights and Fairy Tale?

I'm feeling nostalgic for when we were theorizing about HAXE Poptropica (and when the game wasn't dead). It's really sad we were all left hanging.

Poptropica loves creating storylines only to abandon them...

You know… do you ever wonder if Harold Mews became or was aware of Ringmaster Raven's Circus of the Bizarre.
