I feel like if you were on the Invader Zim crew, you were liable to be roasted in the show.
- Gir’s voice actor got a green car that the crew thought was ugly. So they put in a whole skit in the show about a guy getting his ugly green car destroyed.
- the Tallests obsession with snacks is ripped from Jhonen Vasquez, who constantly brought in gas station snacks into the studio. The crew thought some of the snacks were gross.
- they got a guy who is scared of babies to write an episode about evil babies.
- Jhonen Vasquez and Rikki Simmons kept making cameos in the show, the first time it was as a possibility for Zim’s human disguise. He called them “Ugly” and “Stinky”.
Rewatching the first Kung-Fu Panda movie after knowing what happens in 2 and 3 adds a whole new dimension to The way Oogway interacts with Po. Especially when they first meet in the Dragon Warrior selection scene.
Oogway points at Po, smiles, and says “how interesting”.
Upon watching this without 2 and 3, you think oh this wasn’t his intention but the universe had other ideas. He doesn’t believe in accidents, so the guy who just fell out of the sky directly in front of his pointer finger must be the true Dragon Warrior. Oogway finds this interesting because the selection wasn’t conventional, it just sort of happened.
After watching 2 and 3, his line gets so many new layers stacked on top of it. Now you’re like oh my gosh. It’s a PANDA. They taught him how to harness chi! They taught him SO MUCH about kung-fu and the balance of the universe. In this world, Pandas are naturally connected to chi kind of like how Jedi are more Force-sensitive than normal people in Star Wars. Everyone thought they were wiped out after Lord Shen attacked the panda village a couple decades ago. Po is the only panda anyone has ever seen. And Oogway most likely never even knew Po was in the village down below since he stays up in the Jade Palace. He’s gone several decades without even seeing a panda and for those last couple decades thought they were completely wiped out.
And then boom. Right when he’s choosing the Dragon Warrior, here lands a panda. Right in front of his finger.
“Banjo Kazooie and Sans will be released in the same update coming to Smash” is a sentence that would get you ridiculed mercilessly less than half a year ago
