History Headscratchers / TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndmandy

* Why is everyone (including monsters) terrified by Mandy?Does she have secret mind control powers, or are the supernaturals just wimps?

** Or maybe [[UnresolvedSexualTension he's the one person]] Mandy [[NokissingNohugging cares about.]]

* [[UnfortunateImplications Anyone else notice that the only black character with any real screentime is treated like crap for the entire run of the show?]]
** Ey, don' you get de feelin dat if an' when he had skin, de reaper woulda been a brother, mon?
*** ...Which raises a ''helluva'' lot more UnfortunateImplications when you bear in mind that he's [[strike:basically]] Billy and Mandy's slave...
** Except the one episode that Grim did have skin (the one where he became a model) he was white. Also, nearly everyone who wasn't Mandy was treated like crap. Just look at Pud'n, [[strike:HarryPotter]] Nigel Planter, and Skarr for people who have it ''worse'' than Irwin.
Well yes he had the "white" skin in that modeling episode, but in all truth it was actually just plastic, rapped over his bones stuffed with various meat (for organs) and a redheaded wig to top it off. Its heavily implied and made obvious that Grim comes frome a Jamaco-American heritage. It could aslo be that he's Half-black as his parents are both white, somewhat implying that one of them remarried after a previous interracial marriage after he was born.
** Exactly. It's a CrapsackWorld, after all, so everyone's gonna get dumped on. With the sole exception of Mandy.
** It's only really noticeable because he's the TokenMinority. I think it bugs me more that most of the time, Mandy doesn't catch a lot of crap.
** Irwin isn't the only black character. May I point your attention to Dracula?

** She's a CanonSue.
** More specifically a VillainSue
** Yeah, which does annoy me. Who or what could possibly have made her this way? The series-while being funny-seems to seriously hate children who actually could be gentle and nice, especially Mandy. I don't exactly get it; it's not like those characters aren't interesting, no matter what Mandy says.
* [[GiantSpider Jeff]]. [[GentleGiant Just]]...[[TheWoobie Jeff]]. That poor guy is so nice, so sweet, and yet, [[{{Jerkass}} Billy]] doesn't at least ''try'' to set aside his paralyzing fear of spiders to give his "son" a chance! What disturbs me is that this is all PlayedForLaughs. Seriously, DudeNotFunny.
** Billy never actually asked to be the spider's father. And as far as he's concerned he shouldn't have to treat Jeff as anything more than a giant spider.
