- Stranded from Jimmy Neutron is proof of why Jimmy and Cindy could've been more and worked, even if it ultimately wasn't the goal of the show. For such a great episode, it could've been the foundation of a groundbreaking relationship at the time, or just a fun 22 minutes of your time.

How do you feel about Jimmy Neutron?
My Discord - alphajay.show/discord
How I feel about Jimmy Neutron is really awesome.
Cool
Probably the one Nickelodeon show I remember and liked the most outside of SpongeBob
He's pretty cool and smart
I like it.
Is it just me, or does Jimmy Neutron manage to somehow look extremely dated while also not looking dated at all?
It was so stylized it didnt fit in with the rest of the animation at the time anyhow so it doesnt seem dated. In my opinion anyway☺️. But yea i agree. It looks great
The studio worked with their limitations instead of against them.
The result is a show that, in a similar way to a good video game, looks both dated and appealing.
The 1st season didnt age well but the ones after that certainly did 💯
It's ironically very retro.
@@arthurm.358 That's what I always say. Season 3 is gorgeous.
"Did she just call you Jimmy?"
When it comes to Jimmy Neutron, this is one of my favorite episodes. It shows that without this battle of egos, Jimmy and Cindy could have been a cute couple. And I'm so glad that it never fell into the "status quo" pit. After this episode, despite them still arguing, you can tell Jimmy and Cindy still have feelings for one another deep down.
tbf jimmy and cindy always had that with each other, even going back to the things like the movie and first season! you could tell they always liked each other, and it does improve a lot in the third season of the show! it’s a shame we never got a season 4 where they would’ve went official with their relationship
@@ogome2927 facts your right
Apparently they were officially supposed to become a couple in the final abandoned season.
Ngl, I honestly feel like this show was a little ahead of its time
@@ogome2927 that would've made the show weird because #1. They're kids #2. They still got their whole childhood ahead of them #3. I just don't see them getting together until they've finished putting all their differences aside until they get along better
Their relationship was actually hinted at multiple times after this episode. In one episode, Libby even tells everyone on live TV that Jimmy and Cindy were playing "footsie" in the library. They even kissed.
There’s also an episode where the gang goes into the future and the two of them are married. Of course, it was a dark timeline sort of deal, but I think it shows something
@@lightninjohn5651 I remember that episode I remembered the gangsta paradise meme of jimmy screaming and made a how they did a meta joke about how long commercials are.
Yeah I was thinking about that news show one. It then cut to them (again live) very obviously physically flirting (if that makes sense). Wasn't that the last regular episode aired? Cindy kissed Jimmy on the cheek at the end of it, right?
there was going to be a season 4 where they would’ve made it official, but unfortunately we never got that
@@professorhaystacks6606 Jimmy kissed cindy on the lips at the end and they walked off holding hands
"Stranded" is one of my all time favorite Jimmy Neutron episodes, not only because it's an episode where Jimmy and Cindy became a couple because of the island but also because it's one of the few episodes of the series to focus completely on Jimmy and Cindy's will they won't they relationship.
Well said!
@@TheAlphaJayShow Meh, not really. lol i mean i personally don't think so.
Well, in the cancelled Season 4 Jimmy and Cindy would admitted that they love each other, and they would be respectfull and caring each otter.
Man, Cindy pleading and saying "we don't have to go" really tugs on the heart strings
I love Jimmy and Cindy because their relationship was SUBTLY build over seasons instead of making it super obvious or in your face about. I'm happy you made a video about this.
Glad to do so!
So was rose and Jake from American dragon
@@lisaswayne8241 so the man figuratively drooling her on first appearance just went over your head
Yeah, I think that’s why so many people take appeal to this, as well as why this relationship development throughout the show feels realistic!
They would have become a couple in the next season , if the show hadn’t been cancelled .
"Stranded" was and still is my FAVORITE episode of the Jimmy Neutron series!
I remember when Sheen, Carl, and Libby were stranded, and Sheen got mad at Carl for hiding snacks behind their backs, to which Sheen threw it away then saw an "emergency button", an was like, "This is an emergency! PUSH IT!", only for it to shoot a torpedo and kill off innocent people in a submarine.
Think about this scene for a minute. Your stranded on a hovercraft in the middle of the ocean, no food water and out of gas. See a button marked EMERGENCY, thinking this must be a flare or transponder or at least a survival kit of sort, for this scenario.
No, it fires off a TORPEDO of all things and destroys a nearby cruise ship killing innocent people...
The look of horror on their faces sinking in the realization what just happened.
Went from desperate to dark real quick.
@@samuelmoore9203 yeah my mouth was wide open seeing that scene again in this video, i had forgot about that
Needless to say, it's my second or third favorite, after "Win, Lose, and Kaboom!" and maybe "The League of Villains!" Still, "Stranded" is awesome! I've never met one person who said this episode wasn't good!
Such an underrated couple. If season 4 hadn't been canceled for stupid reasons, we would've seen their relationship really develop.
What happened?
@@praisethesun9014 Ant Bully came out and doomed DNA
Would make for a nice Rise and Fall-esque sort of video one day
@@90sNath huh, didn't even know they worked on that movie. Indeed stupid, if pixar stopped after Bugs' Life we'd miss some of the best animation of all time.
and goddangit, why is it always ants? This is the THIRD ant movie I've heard of and none of them are even that great. If Pixar can't nail it, idk why others would even bother. At least make a Finding nemo clone lol.
Its dumb season 4 was cancelled but if fairly odd parents taught me anything better to end while strong then go on into ruin
I've always held onto my theory that the moment they both really started to have feelings for each other was in Trading Faces (the brain swap episode). When Jimmy and Cindy start to lose their original minds as they blend into their new host bodies Carl Sheen and Libby have to put all of their individual traits back into the right body. However, there is one final trait that just gets straight up deleted: "extreme dislike of girls who dislike boys who dislike girls who dislike show-offy boys who dislike pedantic..." Its always been my interpretation that, since they were already beginning to kind of fuse anyway, this trait was representative of their combined animosities towards eachother, and without it they were both allowed to further develop their friendship/relationship. They still have the key traits that allowed them both to argue in the first place, but they no longer dislike eachother because of those arguments.
That's a great theory
One of the creators stated that they have always liked each other, it just became more obvious as the show went on. You can even see it in the movie.
I haven't watched the whole series in a while but I remember having a theory that either Jimmy or Cindy always liked the other but the other didn't until that episode were the trait that made that person hate the other was deleted. I can't remember who I thought always liked the other.
I thought I was the only one to think that
I always thought Cindy was secretly impressed by Jimmy's genius (but at first denied it, opting for bad boy Nick because that's what all the girls liked at the time.). I think Jimmy did not like Cindy in the slightest,, and why would he when she was such a bully to him? So I agree with the deleted trait was actually Jimmy's, because Cindy always loved him (just didnt know what that emotion was and tried to suppress it with meanness and then didnt know how to express it at all when they did become quasi-frienemies/allies. Notice how she never truly had another boy that occupied her mind the way Jimmy did while Jimmy had multiple crushes)
This video convinces me that instead of Planet Sheen, the spinoff should've been about Carl, Sheen and Libby going on buddy road trip adventures
absolutely
Oh hell yeah. Maybe add some Sheen/Libby stuff too.
I wonder if jimmy ever noticed that sheen was on another planet lol
Their dynamic was top tier. An energetic dumbass, cowardly dumbass and sassy girl tired of both of them. You could make any scenario with them happen and it'd be hilarious
It struck me that the reason why Jimmy and Cindy like each other to begin with is in the episode where Jimmy and Cindy switch bodies and the others are trying to put their memories back. There’s a memory that goes like “extreme dislike of girls who dislike boys…” and it goes over and over and Sheen gets frustrated and just tells Carl to delete it. The last scene after they get their bodies back is Cindy saying she saw a vision of them kissing.
So they’re together because Sheen deleted one complicated memory.
I was hoping for someone to mention this!! I hope Alpha sees this because that's completely true.
I always had a theory that one of them always liked the other but it wasn't mutual until that memory was deleted.
in the prequel film to the series, you can see that when Cindy doesn't have to maintain her status as a Jimmy-hater, she has warm feelings for him and cheers him up, telling him that he really is better than her. All their alleged hatred is really that Cindy was the smartest until Jimmy came into class and dominated, so she tried to humiliate him to raise her self-esteem, but still admired him, and Jimmy was just trying to resist her attacks and therefore convinced himself that he did not like such girls. I think the Shin moment and the love drink episode didn't make him think otherwise, but only loosened the barrier between them.
🤔
Actually, i don't think deleting that particular memory makes any difference. The clue that shows they are really into each other is the following scene, in which Cindy mentions them pictured on an beach, walking holding hands and kissing, and jimmy says he also depicted that memory. That being said, means both of them had that same idea/memory, because neither of them where able to see each other's memories. So they, by luck, happened to have a similar image of them, showing to us spectators they've always been crazy about each other
“Well at least my head doesn’t need its own time zone”
That is fucking hilarious.
I love how harsh some of the insults were in shows back then, the right balance of truth but I'm only saying it cause I know you/know that you can give as good as you get.
this whole episode was comedic gold
I broke when he answered "Why did you have to go there?" 💀💀
Cindy was so savage no one dished it out like she did.
Growing up of the shows went like this. If a main character is a boy and another one is a girl they would act like they don't love each other but end up together by the end of the show. One of the things I love about Peanuts is everyone is in love with everybody. They are either oblivious or not interested at all. I find that really funny and its kinda refreshing.
I played Linus in a school version of the Peanuts Broadway show a few weeks back and had a crush on the actress playing Sally, despite the fact that in the actual source material Sally has a crush on my character. Funny how that turns out.
this happened with helga didn't it
I kinda wish it got one more final season so that these characters and their arcs can come to a close. Because it ain’t fair that the show got canceled and left several episodes, with more questions.
@@jadenmamangon9016 In the Peanuts comic strip there were some really early ones before the characters were completely figured out. Sally was a baby when she was added then she was aged up to 5 years old and everyone else stayed the same age. There was this one gag where Linus did the math on a fence and said in 16 years she'll be able to date me. That would be out of character in the later strips. LOL
@@FreshZCORD Yep
Too bad It's been nothing but typical "Cooties" an d"Boys Vs.Girls" trope that's been around since the late 90's and early mid 2000's!
Lol yeah I know right it's been a lot
To be fair, Actual children don't go on dates. That's more something you do when you are in your late teens. Why it get teased so much? I have no clue.
Some shows skewed towards a teen audience have shown to do well with the topic.
@@TheAlphaJayShow yeah but other shows just ruin that idea which sucks
Which I like.
This was one of the most iconic episodes of the show to me. Like I remember it more than most other episodes and for good reason I feel. Very memorable and funnier than I remembered.
this and the love potion episode are prolly the most iconic to me in terms of what they were about! they were episode that focused on the relationships and dynamics of the characters which is what makes it stand out for me!
In Libby's defense, Cindy and Jimmy fell over at the equator, I wouldn't put it past them to have agreed on an exact longitude and latitude so neither would pull a fast one on the other.
"I know I'm not supposed to like you, but being here on this island away from school and grades and peer pressure makes me realize how ridiculous that is."
Now if only Fairly Oddparents and SpongeBob had this kind of character growth.
Fairly Oddparents and Spongebob are both largely episodic. These types of character development wouldnt really work. As soon as they started breaking that rule (FairlyOdd with Poof and then the Dog and then that girl) people dropped the show
It works for Jimmy Neutron, cause they were building it up, but not everything needs character growth or development especially a show like SpongeBob, that's a comedy series that's more for entertainment when you want a good laugh not to see characters grow, though the Fairly Odd parents, used to have character moments for Timmy when he learned from his wishes back in the first four seasons.
Didn't Helga have some kind of character growth (I'm not meaning the exact same but a big character growth) like that at the end of Hey Arnold? I've only seen up to season 1 of Hey Arnold so I could be wrong
And then the fact that Cindy went out of her way and got the most obscure and most likely expensive to perfume in existence and a special made space body suit to get Jimmy to notice her girly side. man I really do love this ship
Speaking of Timmy and Cindy, maybe you should discuss those two and what particular each want out of a relationship, based off that dynamic. Also, how it's basically another chapter in the Jimmy/Cindy story to explore
I do want to see him review the second Jimmy Timmy Power Hour movie. You know, the best one out of the trilogy.
@@ShockwaveFPSStudios the 2nd is the worst in my opinion or second worst the third one is pretty bad
@@pixilatedink.7920 nah for me it goes like this; the second one, the first one and then the third one which i think is the worst out of the three
Bit of a Rant, but not meant hateful aaaat allll:
Amphibias Anne and Sasha just having been slightly-hinted-on
to be Lesbians... this kinda rubs me the wrong way.
Owl House and Amphibia are blood-related shows,
the creators are very close to each other.
I wanna PRAISE how Owl House handles Romance BUT now
we have it's Sister-Show do the exact same thing?
GirlxGirl again - and now 'in all of the cases'?!
Of course only a bigot or idiot could have a problem with the number
2 (as in 'Lesbian Couples at all existing), but i dont. I have a problem with the Number 100 as in %.
The Representation becomes less Healthy and the Praise becomes
less valueable when the thing you can pull off well is just this 1 thing.
@@ogome2927 Exactly, the second one’s the best
This thumbnail got me crying. 😭😭
CLICK THROUGH RATE BAYBEEE
Cindy's voice acting when pleading for her and Jimmy to stay on the island together was a top knot performance, master craft scene that feels like it outpaces its contemporaries well more than it should have in impact.
I felt a tug myself
"If Sheen was your Uber driver, what would you do?"
Clearly, I'd give him a one star rating😂
At least he got one 😂
I absolutely love the "Elp yourself to some gas!" line
“Well, maybe E stands for extra fuel, TELL ME E MEANS EXTRA FUEL! E means empty, dude, we’re out of fuel.”
“The needle was on E. Yeah, I figured that must stand for ‘end’”
I'd say the hovercraft has a GPS.
Libby is pretty smart as well; she can usually keep up with Cindy & Jimmy without much issue.
Looking back at it now, Cindy was a tsundere
Yay! One of the shows that defined my childhood is being talked about by Alpha Jay!
Good thing this is the second time I did!
@@TheAlphaJayShow lmao
I like the Jimmy and Cindy implied relationship, but I strongly disagree about the backseat conversation about their love/hate relationship by their friends. It legit feels like the writers of the show spelling out the reason the both of them act this way because they feel like here too dumb to see it, even though it was easy to see even without this conversation, even when I was a child. It gives off the same vibes that the psychiatrist monologuing to Rick Sanchez in the pickle Rick episode of Rick & Morty did, but not as bad since at least here it wasn't being done by a completely new character, and at least it was a kid show. Just my opinion though.
It’s a very 2000s way of looking at dynamics so I can see that!
It's kinda like Ron and Hermione, or Percy anc Annabeth in Harry Potter and Percy Jackson
I thought it was perfect in Rick and Morty though. The Dr said what we were all thinking directly to the character (rick). It was interesting seeing his reaction.
But Sheen and Carl are literally a bunch of idiots. They of all people would need it spelled out for them
If we also want to be real, in the Libby Dystopia episode when they go to the future after giving Libby an experimental spray from Jimmy's lab, it is literally said by adult Jimmy that he and Cindy are married, so it is actually said that they get together, even if it is in a dystopic future
7:41 Jay: “Since we are talking about two kids with zero survival skills-“
Me: *sees the private resort Jimmy and Cindy made later in the episode*
“So you’re saying us city and suburban rats have a chance?”
Edit: Also, I blame Jimmy for mislabeling that emergency button. The first reasonable conclusion the trio on the hovercraft turns wrong because of that oversight.
Eh, he didn't design the labels to help other people cuz he never intended on other people flying the hovercar. It just mattered that he knew what each button was for
Oh man, it's been years since I have watched this show, but I remember how the show hinted at feelings between Cindy and Jimmy when I was growing up and the will they won't they. Some were more obvious than others, but there are two episodes that still stick in my head. One is where Jimmy meets his future self and finds out that he is married to Cindy (though he is miserable in that future) though it kinda implies that he was still attracted to her regardless, at least enough to get married. And the other is the episode is where the gang goes into space and gets superpowers like the fantastic 4, And Jimmy's Power is that of the hulk and he goes on a rampage and the only one that was able to calm him down was Cindy when she was about to say, "I lovvv....." but couldn't finish the phrase before passing out.
I could just imagine a MCU style lullaby for Cindy to tell Jimmy, but I wouldn't know what she would say exactly...
"Engorged with..........gas"🤣🤣🤣🤣, not gonna lie, that made me laugh for a good minute
it was such a creative joke
One of the best ships I have personally seen is still the one between Robin and Starfire, man, rewatching the OG Teen Titans was a goddamn blast.
Actually, the 2019 movie gave me hope that we'll someday get to see season 6. Welp, that's it, just wanted to share this. Aight peace
Seconded, I really like seeing their relationship
omg yes i always loved them together
I honestly do enjoy Jimmy and Cindy's relationship, especially in this episode.
I think what makes the end of the episode so interesting is the implications of it all. Perhaps off screen, Jimmy explained that they couldn't be with Cindy on the island forever. He seemed very considerate of how she felt, but could've made it clear that the island wasn't going anywhere. Should the two ever find time together, they can always go back and make the most of the little time they got. That feels like the best case scenario for the end of this episode. It's just sad that this wasn't foreshadowed much in later episodes.
Man I absolutely adored this show and their love/hate relationship because I love a good “slow-burn” love story, ones that happen to have denial, flustering, accidental confessions, longing, sadness etc instead of immediately “Oh turns out I actually love you” but instead it happens much later on when the characters become closer and closer as friends before becoming something more.
It always made me squeal when I saw these too accidently confessing their feelings for one another.
It's Stranded from The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius that is aired on Thursday 5/26/2005 in Season 3. I love this episode.
I believe in the final episode of Season 3, when Jimmy and the crew were News Anchors, it actually showed Jimmy and Cindy openly flirt with one another, and then at the end of the episode Jimmy pulled Cindy in for a kiss as the two walked away holding hands.
Yes, they do
@@justjoannak Eww, this is so disgusting
This is one of the best episodes of the last season for sure. I honestly think that had the show continued, the relationship with Jimmy and Cindy would have been a major theme considering there were plenty of other episodes in the last season that touched on it such as The N-Men, Vanishing Act, King of Mars, and even a little gag in Lady Sings the News, leaving the writers no choice but to go all in on it (at least for a while). And I could see it giving the dynamic between Arnold and Helga on Hey Arnold a run for its money.
in my honest opinion i thought the dynamic between jimmy and cindy was prolly better than the helga and arnold one mainly bc of how close they were and the fact that jimmy himself only really had one other love interest in the show and that was betty who didn’t really love him back! (ik there was april but she was only used in one episode so i don’t count her) ik arnold had one who didn’t, but arnold in general had loads and came off a bit as a simp who under minded helga, unlike jimmy and cindy where jimmy in some episodes didn’t go for cindy not bc of other girls, but mainly due to him focusing on other efforts and all!
@@ogome2927 facts you aint lyying arnold was kind of a simp I always liked Jimmy a little bit better plus Cindy wasn't being all over dramatic like Helga and real talk Helga qas a bit annoying if you asked me she should have flat out told arnold in the later episodes but that never happend
@@Jac735 yes true! the dynamic between jimmy and cindy was just more normal i feel like, and it wasn’t as confusing i feel in comparison to arnold and helga really
@@Jac735 Helga didn't sell anyone out for fame and reward like that villainess Cindy. Therefore, what everyone says that the latter, that is, Cindy, loves the main character is a lie
@user-gd8ge1gq7d u can tell by the first few episodes she is trying to compete and play with a litte
Lmao this is hilarious. I just recently started using paramount plus ao I been binging Jimmy neutron the last 3 days and rembering how heart warming Jimmy and Cindy's relationship wad and boom this video drops what are the odds
Originally planned it for Valentines' Day
Jimmy and Cindy could've definitely been better. I agree with you 100%! Awesome video as always 🐼🐼🐼🐼
I know right?!!
Cindy and Jimmy WERE more. As the series went on, they more or less stopped hiding it from themselves, but they were trying to hide it from everyone else around them, even though everyone knew. Especially Libby. Lol
Personally, I feel the two worked far better as a couple (even if they tried to hide it) than they ever were as rivals and annoyances to one another 😊
As a kid, I'd enjoy the rivalry between Jimmy and Cindy.
No mention of Cricket Green and Gabriella, Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable, or Phineas and Isabella.
Dude! "ELP yourself to some GAS!" is one of my favorite lines from the show. It makes me laugh so much more than it should! 🤣 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yo! Remember when they traded bodies and then when they were trying to fix it, they took out the "dislike boys/girls" trait? I think after that episode, they were truly free to start to feel for each other and I'm here for it!
It's a pretty entertaining episode and an interesting one given how Jimmy and Cindy would develop their friendship and rivalry into something more as you said. I would say it's up there as one of my favorites, but behind something like "Out, Darn Spotlight" or rather the Macbeth in Space school play episode.
True that not many early 2000's cartoons focused on romanctic relationships, but personally i think Jimmy x Cindy is one of the beter ones out there.
Even better than Danny and Sam.
@@maxmeidl4909 Arnold and helga will always be #1
Jimmy and Cindy's relationship isn't Proud Family levels of confusing, but it's still confusing.
But this is my favorite episode, though.
Same!
Two characters that is voiced by Carolyn Lawrence are Sandy Cheeks from SpongeBob SquarePants and Cindy Vortex from The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH WHAT? i never noticed that lmao but NOW i hear it :D
Man that "we don't have to go" scene ripped my heart to pieces then, and still does now.
“Did you call me jimmy?”
Ha ha! That’s one of my favorite scenes from the third season. I have no wonder, why is Jimmy arguing with Cindy at the beginning?
I swear, that "emergency" button gag gets me every time.
I actually felt like this was a good way of handling a relationship in a show about children. Innoway this episode shows Jimmy and Cindy realizing that they could be good for each other but they’re still kids. I saw this episode is kind of setting up the threads for a relationship in their adult lives or maybe in middle or high. But here they’re still in elementary.
I like how pretty much everyone agrees Stranded was the best episode.
I mean it really is.
"In a world where the men are all stupid and the women are all crazy."
But a beautiful quote, and is beautiful because it is so true!
Just so you know there is an MLM relationship in Kipo and the age of wilderbeasts on Netflix. It’s also just a fantastic show.
Sheen and Cindy were definitely my favorite characters in this show. They're just written *perfectly*. And so is this show in general, you should go over more episodes, this is (in my personal opinion) the tied for #1 best nicktoon ever. There's definitely more to the subject of this video than just the stranded episode, on multiple occasions Cindy can't even FATHOM faking hating him because she's just a simp. And honestly.. can you blame her? Jimmy is a chad
15:52 ok, that had me *dying* 💀
Why wouldn't you label a button like that?
1.) Carl being confused about what the "E" in the fuel gage means kind of reminds me of the "Maybe E means extra fuel!" line from "Drake and Josh".
2.) I love Jimmy and Cindy so much!
Cindy’s monologue at the end actually made me fall for her at a very young age 😭💕
I really liked the dynamic between them as a kid, they really could have done more with them.
One of the best episodes of Jimmy Neutron and for sure the best of S3. They do kiss in the finale but I can't remember if they were confirmed to be endgame or not
In an earlier episode they switched bodies and it was revealed that one of them truly didn't like the other but Carl sheen and Libby erased that trait resulting in a mutual attraction, I feel like it was jimmy cause in all honesty she seemed the one who gave him more attention than he did
It was Jimmy. It started with "Extreme dislike of girls" so it wouldn't make sense for it to be Cindy's trait.
@@jamesb.6197 So one of them is misogynistic 🤨

“Everybody knows E stands for… Elp yourself to some gas”
This was always my favorite episode as a kid. Thanks for talking about it. :)
No problem!
Cindy was voiced by Carolyn Lawrence the only voice acting role beside Sandy Cheeks on Spongebob, they even sound a little alike when they argue.
The jimmy/Cindy relationship does become something a bit dragged out because Libby and sheen didn’t have to hide. I mean, there was the one episode where jimmy and sheen had that love potion and Libby kept the gift sheen gave her but hid it, but other than that, it was clear that the two liked each other.
Jimmy and Cindy was basically hinted at in the movie and became a real possibility when Nick showed his true colours again in the movie
i think the only reason relationships in "kids" shows are becoming more common is that more adults are watching cartoons while kids could care less about ships
I think your right.
This was my favorite episode as many others have said it was an important one too. I'm glad you reviewed it because it gave me the warm fuzzies inside. ❤
16:08 Everyone on the ship: We're okay!
Libby: maybe we should keep this to ourselves.
9:08 actually, I belive Jimmy input the exact coordinates when putting thr hover craft into autopilot for them to be at the latitude of the equator, so Libby probably figured that out and just input the same ones again.
One of the most basic things that a show can do is to have two of the leads become a couple. This is a prime example of that. Nowadays, it seems couples have to appear in every show, as said in the beginning of the video.
The “Elp yourself to some gas!” line is something that has been stuck in my head for years. It’s probably one of my favorite lines from the show.
I actually like the way they handled Jimmy and Cindy in the movie as opposed to the show. They were more natural in the original movie, and rather than any relationship being overly pushed at or ramped up, Cindy just showed a side of herself that was there to help and console Jimmy when he needed it. Which is probably the most appropriate gesture for young kids in the first place. I kind of don't always agree with the idea of pushing "relationships" in children's shows and cartoons, because the reality is that children aren't ready for real life relationships. Even if it is just puppy love, as you would call it. The way characters are written in shows is usually dynamic to whatever the plot or lesson is trying to be conveyed in the episodes. But naturally, children are children, not plot puppets. So when child characters are written more like what they are, it's more intrinsic to rewatch.
I always enjoyed the flirty relationships characters have in these kinds of shows as long as they aren't adults. Not in the sense of weird ships, but because it's usually written in a way that they'll never get together permanently.
When it's done for more adult characters, it's usually stressful to watch because you don't know if the show can properly tie the knot at the end of the season. An example is phinies and Ferb, which had time jump episodes and romantic development for the older cast to allow for a romantic conclusion (even if one of them was made by a fan itself kek)
The best scene with Sean, Libby, and Carl for me is when they were sorting Jimmy and Cindy memories.
I feel like this stands out from a lot of relationships (or shippings), including western movies and especially the ones from anime, because unlike most relationships, the reason behind Jimmy and Cindy being rivals was a way to hide their true feelings and this episode not only revealed the hate was all a masquerade, but I feel like it also called out the problem with societal norms. However, a fair point to think of is how they somehow hinted this prior, such as in the episode "Safety First," where Cindy actually cared about Jimmy. But season three was developing the main cast, especially Jimmy and Cindy, which made the thing more evident. A lot of relationships kinda have the same reason and story behind them.
The fourth (and truly final) season would have brought mature themes to the show, had more clever writing, and made the show end properly.
you know what I love about this episode? (this is my favorite) 1. The amount of detail the put when Libby was in the background. 2. The lore. (Jimmy and Cindy lore of course.)
I've spoke to both Debbi Derryberry, the voice of Jimmy, and to Carolyn Lawrence, the voice of Cindy, and asked them what was their favorite Jimmy Neutron episode and they both agreed that this was definitely it, along with Carolyn stating that she also enjoyed the movie that came out before the series.
It reminds me of Helga and Arnold from Hey Arnold! Think about it. It is almost similar but Helga was the one hiding her love for the football head we know and love since the 90s.
I love how it’s cannon that jimmy makes homemade explosives when shein blew that ocean liner up
I remember this episode fondly. It always bugger me that if two characters liked each other in shows in the early 2000s they'd only get together at the end. Fortunately that's a dying trend now. I agree, the ending saves it. Also, I stand PS2.
I hope if Jimmy Neutron is ever revived then they’ll explore Jimmy and Cindy’s love story more
It would be so cool if there is ever any sign of a continuation to it one day in the long ahead future. We can hope and pray especially when we all begin a new life. And then if it does when that time comes then hope it will give a really good happy ending for all 5 of those main ones in it.
2:03 this line makes me feel like Cindy is the type of person who'd argue that the earth is flat
The creator of jimmy neutron said he'd love to make a new season, or reboot the show. But he has to get approval from nick
Stranded was pretty great, only later in my life did I find out it was all a Blue Lagoon reference, I enjoyed the first 2 movies of that franchise too. Jimmy and Cindy could live on that island forever, they were able to build a settlement in less then a day and had no problems with predators for the most part, Jimmy still had his watch so he could use the laser to defend them, hell he could probably create primitive weapons like bows and coconut launchers for him and Cindy to use. Kids can survive in the wild Jay, humans are very adaptive as a species when the going gets tough.
The equator is invisible as a kid i knew that and i was like i thought cindy was smart😂😂😂😂😂
I loved Jimmy Neutron and this is one of the only ships I 100% support.
I love this perspective. I didn't know how much I needed this breakdown
Them blowing up the cruise line was the funniest shit ever
I loved when Cindy put on space makeup 💄 and a spacesuit. She wasn’t afraid to be girly. She looked so pretty under the moonlight
I love your videos so much the Alpha Jay show keep up the good work man
This was really well done. Great work.
Jimmy and Cindy sitting in a tree
k-i-s-s-i-n-g 😂
I can’t believe that Cindy thought that the Equator is visible. And she wanted to be so smart
She lied so she could argue with Jimmy is the only plausible explanation if she is smart at any age.
“Stranded” has always been my favorite episode of Jimmy Neutron, and you’ve only listed a few reasons as to why
The best part is when the missle hits the ocean liner, and while the shot focuses on the shocked faces of Carl, Sheen, and Libby, you hear the ship sink and the collective coices of everyone on the ship say, "We're okay!"
