I know it's a dude but how was this ever considered a kid friendly outfit
because it's a dude duh
My genuine theory is that back in 2003, men in skimpy outfits was a-okay because the idea of kids being aroused or uncomfortable with a male character being portrayed like that was laughable.
It’s a skintight suit. His head is a pale green, but the rest of his body is a grayish white. If anything the gold codpiece is more provocative as it further invokes the idea that he is naked. Still too weirdly sexual of a design for a kids show, but I’d say the same about the Powerpuff Girl’s older sexy female designs of Ms. Bellum, Sedusa, and Femme Fatale.

Have you ever watched any anime made before 2000 that isn't Dragonball?
It's mindboggling that a zoomer would go out of his own way to sit down and watch an old DL episode that specifically references anime, but yet not understand where the Hookocho villain archetype comes from.
Is this another example of cartoons referencing anime that weebs get super defensive and butthurt about?
>get super defensive and butthurt about?
no one knows this show exists
Spotted the braindead zoomer

CN was always the edgy channel.
I've always had the theory that he was the embodiment of what little imagination Dexter had and his desire to keep Dee Dee from destroying his lab. That the Planet Koos was Dee Dee's imagination, and the "outer space" was the real world, as if it was another plain of existence. And his motive is that, if Planet Koos were to be destroyed, thus destroying Dee Dee's imagination, and removing any reason to destroy Dexter's lab.
What about the guy that's supposed to be the heart of Koos or whatever? Would you say he represents Dee Dee's ideal of Dexter? Pompous, arrogant but still loved by everyone?
I always felt that the villain is supposed to be Dee Dee's sexual awakening while the planet is her Child Innocence
I felt like you on watch list
I think that too, if everything is happening inside DeeDee's head, this could be like her puberty brain replacing the child like thoughts with stuff teen girls like, for example pretty boys and anime. The badguy looks like something out of a poorly drawn notebook.
So Dexter saved his sister from becoming a fujo?
Chris Savino never cared.
>what the frick was the meaning behind this character/episode?
making fun of 90s anime androgynous villains maybe
Name 50.
Edgelord trash.
Funny how this is one of the only Savino-era episodes he DIDN’T direct, yet was still shit.
>Edgelord
Stop using terms you clearly don't understand. I've seen the episode, and the alien king villain is treated as a joke almost the entire time he's on-screen.
I was talking about the episode in general. It had edgy gross shit like that scene just for the sake of edgy gross shit. Pull your head out of your ass.
This was one of the few Savino episodes I actually enjoyed.
I hate Savino so fricking much why did he ruin every show he fricking touched?
Why not do that to his own show.
Cartoon showrunners were very bitter about anime tanking their ratings. The Animaniacs creator blames Pokemon for his career tanking.
the dexter team loved anime though, and were especially inspired by mecha, with plenty of episodes referencing the genre. Honestly a lot of jokes in cartoons, now and back then, are just references and lose appeal quick with time
Their attitude was that they were "improving" anime by actually putting animation behind all the fancy and overproduced shots.
Meanwhile, this episode was outright mocking what they thought anime actually was: a bunch of badly-dubbed yammering set to static images with only moving lips and a lot of camera-panning.
