  • Kim Possible is a landmark show for Disney, paving the way for shows that don't have to follow the mold established worrying about demographics. Kim Possible is a show that anyone and everyone can relate to or take something away from. Today, let's take a look at the iconic rise of Kim Possible!

    One of the most iconic parts of the Kim Possible show was Ron Stoppable's arc. Not just romantically with Kim, but the fact that over time he actually develops into a competent fighter capable of holding his own against some of the most dangerous enemies in the series. And at the end, he becomes singularly more powerful than even Kim herself for the sake of protecting her.
    Mystic Monkey powers, go!
    Also Evil Ron was the first true sign of how insanely skilled he could be when he stopped getting in his own way mentally.

    I never thought about it until you brought it up but Kim Possible, Totally Spies, and seeing Starfire & Raven from Teen Titans definitely made me feel as a young girl that kicking butt and saving the world was something even I could do. The "stand up for yourself, your friends, and justice" plots never get old in general, but tackling the femininity of it can be difficult. This show has always deserved all of my attention and my little middle school self SCREECHED when Kim & Ron FINALLY became a thing.

    One thing that always drew me to the show was how well Kim is animated in every scene, especially after Season 1. It's easy to fixate on her fight choreography, but her facial expressions, mannerisms, and overall body language is so detailed and precise. She just felt more believable and alive than other animated teenagers, and it's complimented wonderfully by a dynamic performance by Christy Carlson Romano.

I was absolutely enamored though. I had a little stuffed Rufus toy too. I don't know whatever happened to the little guy, but yeah. Huge fan.
    Also Stephen Silver was a huge inspiration to me. He's one of a few artists who inspired me to get into character design.

    I always loved the dynamic Kim and Ron had in their romantic relationship. I'm someone who has an EXTREMELY low tolerance for insipid romantic subplots where the characters have no chill and are constantly in turmoil because both parties are too self absorbed to actually communicate. It's also really jarring to have gone from rewatching Total Drama, where all of the cannon pairings SUCK, to here where they're cute and compatible.
    Also, rev membering that Kim Possible is 20 years old is so mind numbing to me. It has a timeless feel to it so to realize it started the year after I was born is WILD.

    This show is amazing, I like the humor, animation, and the characters. Kim’s a great protagonist and Ron is good as her sidekick. There maybe a few bad episodes but there are few and far between. In additions THIS show handled shipping very well, it’s not like other so many shows where the two leads end up together. Here they took their time, hinted at, and then confirmed that they liked each other liked that. They got together before the final season (I KNOW that “So the Drama” was supposed to be the finale) and when they got together, they didn’t waste time in saying on of them felt “unworthy” of the other, they were happy to be with each other and so were the fans.

    Kim Possible is absolutely legend. It's the kind of show that deserves to be remembered for all of posterity and seen by modern kids who weren't even born yet when it initially came out.
    I first saw the show when it aired normally and rewatched it on Disney+ and let me just say, it holds up. It's action-packed and extremely funny. One there own, those features are uncommon but together, they are an absolute rarity! Animated shows with good, consistent action are not common in the modern tv landscape and neither are hilarious animated shows. But Kim Possible has both and that makes it immensely unique and entertaining.
    Everyone remembers Kim Possible it's true, but I don't think it's as appreciated as other Disney classics like, say, Phineas and Ferb. And to be clear, I *love* Phineas and Ferb, my only point is that I believe Kim Possible is also worthy of just nostalgia and recognition. Really hope modern kids discover Kim Possible on streaming and give it the resurgence of popularity it deserves.

    I remember this show because I had the first Spy Kids movie on VHS & they had a preview for Kim Possible. From the second it showed Kim dodging lasers to the line *"KIM POSSIBLE SHE CAN DO ANYTHING!* Kim: except get to school on time" I was hooked! Combine this with Totally Spies and you got my interest in seeing kickass normal female heroes. Also shame that before this Nickelodeon shot down Constant Payne, I mean we could have had a three way dance between the three biggest animation networks featuring kickass female leads. Also anyone ever notice how much crossover fanfiction is out there combining Kim Possible & Danny Phantom, would've been really interesting to see in reality all things considered

    This was one of my favourite shows as a teenager, especially at a time where I'd mostly watch anime or more live-action series and fewer cartoons because I was growing up. Shego was also one of my favourite TV villains (loved her dynamic with Dr. Drakken) and cartoon crushes. I was at first confused when I saw that final arc with Shego and Drakken getting together, but it was also kind heartwarming. One of my favourite episodes revolved around Shego becoming good by accident and being like an older sister for Kim. I also loved how she was the only one to realize that Kim + Ron = excellent team and used time travel to split them up and take over the world. The surprise twist that Future Shego was the reason for that and was the big bad instead of Drakken was delightful.

    Kim Possible gave me a huge of nostalgia. I had watched many episode since I was very young even before I became obsessed with Ben-10 golden age. Each of episodes are unqiue with different missions, characters, and ideas. Action scenes and drama story are balanced perfectly with well-crafted elements. I was lucky I had catched up the supposedly final episode when Kim and Ron had danced and kissed together. This conclusion ending scene was so sweet and satisfying I believe it is one of the cartoon best endings. Yet there are more episodes to watch afterwards.

  • @marygolds

    I always felt that a spin off about Ron's younger sister Hana felt like a logical next step. Especially as the premise is fairly easy to set up with the pre-established lore surrounding her and the timeline making her now a similar age to Kim and Ron's ages at the beginning of the original show.

  • @19TimiT91

    When I grew up I realised just how good of a role model Kim Possible was for me. I am so lucky to be born in a time where I had the opportunity to have this show influence me as a person. I like that she is a strong and bad ass character, but is also allowed to enjoy traditionally girly things, showing that those traditionally girly things does not influence how strong you are as a person. Usually when you have a "strong female lead" they aren't allowed to enjoy girly things because that is weakness. But not here. She is one of the reasons I wanted to be a princess ninja spy cuz princesses are pretty and cute and ninjas and spies are cool and kick ass. That was what I no joke wanted to be when I was younger XD

    And man i totally forgot there was a movie...what the hell I should rewatch it and the whole Ron and Kim couple stuff i always thought it was the right choice.
    And don't worry your random experiences are something we expect you end up telling us man 😂
    This is a very special show and i'm satisfied to see it, Disney really did a good job on keeping it alive for a while.
    I would like to see a reboot more than a new season or anything but with people that knows the show and what it was about and i totally forgot that there was a live action movie (and have no interest into watching it).

    I always loved the cooking class/club episode, because it showed that Kim is not perfect in everything she does, she is determined and works hard in everything she tries, but she also gets annoyed and impatient that she can't do something that comes easily to Ron, but she doesn't hate him for it, she just gets sad and annoyed she doesn't have as much time with her est friend

    • @santosic
      @santosic Рік тому +8

      That's the important distinction here. She doesn't hate Ron for who he is or what he does. When she can't do something he can, she blames herself never him. And that's why they work really well as a couple. Even as friends they had such a healthy and non toxic relationship.

    • @marocat4749
      @marocat4749 Рік тому +4

      It generally inthe show when he is shown comptent in more creative ways and being emotional smart nerally, while being also insecure, and still gets chances to really shine and why they really fill in for each other. So even as friends they are just great an healthy partnr, why i never thought they needed romance, as that dynamic one rare is rare, and ron is actually really shown to be amazing while being very human and a dude that is also a softie, that is shown to be rally competent but insecure,
      and that h uses social competence to be th best too, while she is a bit a hardass. They really are both well done but together, amazing.
      , but why not friends to lovers.

    Wade is TEN??? I figured he was a bit younger, but not THAT much!
    Man, the tension and stress as we awaited and finally achieved the Movie really WAS insane. You just felt so much from YEARS of buildup and yearning for closure, that the movie was genuinely an emotional rollercoaster. It was all just so INTENSE, it really didn't hit the same if you hadn't been watching it around the time of its initial release. I didn't want see much of season 4, but I like how it wrapped up to graduation. That feels right, and a great way to close things off.
    The Swamp Thing episode traumatized me, honestly. Still freaks me out.
    I don't remember watching that origin episode, but I remember the game. Was obsessed with it, and I want to play it again. I remember the stress, lol. I always got stuck on the Monkey level!
