I mean, that's a bit of an odd thing to show if they're not gonna have some big reveal that the show is set after a nuclear war and all the superheroes are radiation mutants (or something similar).

It would be even more odd if the show had the exact same backstory as Adventure Time, which is what you're suggesting.

It'd be the most odd if such a thing were shown, fairly explicitly, in the first shot of the opening for the pilot.

Have we ever seen Gar and the Shadowy Figure in person at the same time? With KO's focus on martial arts, I'm beginning to think they're gonna do a Xenogears homage plot twist.

"Go on until you're stopped."
It would be funny if they never actually reveal that the Shadowy Figure is Professor Venomous, and the two of them both keep appearing separately in different episodes without acknowledging that they're the same guy.

I loved how Dean Venture (Michael Sinterniklass) voiced Hero. I'm glad it worked out for our RPGworld protagonist in the end.

CN released a bunch of halloween eps for their shows early on the app and website, no cable login required. This includes two ok ko eps:
We Got Hacked
Parents Day

No out of order continuity errors either (heck, one ep appears to be an earlier one they put off airing till halloween time)

I think that's more of an in joke given that a lot of other characters say soory and the 2nd KO VA isn't canadian

I like this show a lot! It's a nice break as a cartoon purely for the sake of being a cartoon while Steven Universe is on it's hiatus in the middle of it's current lore heavy saga.

Has it been confirmed all the characters pronounce "sorry" as "sore-ee" because Canadian dubbing teams in the 90's pronounced it that way in popular animes? (as far as I know)

This was my favorite part. I laughed out loud at realistic KO, only to be even more blown away by realistic Skeleton. Holy crap.

Amazing episode but also pretty depressing. Who would have thought a throwback Captain Planet crossover would be extremely relevant in 2017....

yeah i was reeling from this episode, so many feelings of awkward nostalgia mixed with painful realization of just how accurate and important their message is, morphing into this weird sorta depressing "yo, poo poo's still hosed and it's gonna take a monumental amount of effort to fix this or else we're toast"... it was brilliant, and cool, and sad, all at once.

There's three stages of appreciating Captain Planet. When you're little and you first watch it you just think "Wow, those villains sure are evil! Get em Captain Planet!". When you're a little older, you look back and think, "Those villains were unrealistic; they were evil for evil's sake! Real people are complex and don't want to destroy the world." Then, when you're an adult, you realize, in a cold sweat, that Captain Planet is tragically the most honest cartoon from your childhood and that yes, if anything, they were playing down how ridiculously evil the people destroying the planet are.

Honestly I feel like Captain Planet hit this problem pretty gracefully- the thrust of it is never that global warming is somehow kids' fault, it's always that the older generation is screwing things up and leaving it to the younger generation to try and mitigate the problem.
