History WMG / CarmenSandiego

* ACME does like its secrets this time around, calling itself "even more secret than VILE", though much like [[GetSmart Control vs KAOS]], they seem to be especially interested in taking on their secretive counterpart, so there could be a HeWhoFightsMonsters down the line.

While being totally ignorant of the fact that there is a connection between them. And at some point in the advertising campaign, Carmen, her hat ruined by Tigress or Paper Star while doing some totally unrelated job in San Diego, will go at Carmen's to buy a replacement.

Maybe they need to team up to rescue Carmen from something down the line. This would also give them space to develop their characters on why they chose to move with an international criminal, and maybe even force a FriendOrIdol decision depending on how they feel about working with ACME vs working with Carmen.

((WMG: ACME has its own school for training investigators.]]

Since Carmen is the hero this time around perhaps ACME will be portrayed as shadier and possibly even AmbiguouslyEvil this time around. Some preview images which have been released do show Carmen hiding for a pair of MenInBlack looking people, so perhaps those are ACME detectives and ACME as a whole will be taking on a shadier MenInBlack theme this time around.

You got a promotion for thwarting Carmen in ''Word Detective''.

The "Player" is shown at the beginning of each episode communicating with Carmen and responding to her challenges via computer before dispatching Zack and Ivy. Assuming that everything takes place in the same universe, the "Player" is the one who is truly controlling ACME's actions, with the Chief as an AI messenger and assistant. The "Player" is in truth a boy/girl genius in the mold of [[Manga/DeathNote L]] who, because of his/her young age, had limited mobility and time, Therefore, the only way he/she could solve mysteries was by providing advice online to other detectives, using them as gophers. The Chief was created to serve as a front, but also helped to monitor crime activity through the internet. No one in ACME knows of the player's identity, so it's shown that "Player" does a good job covering it up.

Carmen got sick of people not respecting their cultural heritage. Like they say, you don't know what you've got until it's gone, so she steals stuff and challenges people to catch her in order to get it back, and hopefully learn a thing or two along the way. ACME knows this, but of course stealing it not just the sort of thing you can ignore, so they all just roll their eyes and say, "HereWeGoAgain..."

* Outta of Time is the name for the final arc. Carmen kidnapped Dr. Tyhme (a pun on time) and Ivan Idea (AMCE's smart genius machinist of a kid). The reason they didn't know that Carmen put them in a trace to ask them questions about time (Dr. Thyme) and to built the machine itself (Ivan Machine.). This will be turn out a Chronoskimmer, a time machine. Though you are able to recover it -- the Chief explains even if it's a prototype, it's going to real easy for anyone to copy it and that means Carmen and her cohorts in crime have a new hobby -- time crime. This unlocks door number #2 and it's going to where the time machines crime folders are located.

[[WMG: Carmen's closest friend in her childhood was [[MagicSchoolBus Valerie Frizzle]].]]

Their first adventures were of Carmen sneaking away and dragging Valerie along with her - this might expose Valerie to how interesting other people can be via cultural artifacts (if she's been picked on, she might have been adverse to social contact), while Valerie may act as a conscious for Carmen, who tends to disregard rules and might have turned out to be a straightforward villainess instead of the [[GentlemanThief Gentlewoman Thief]] we know her as now. Through their worldwide travels (all hidden from the regular Powers That Be thanks to Carmen's legendary stealth abilities) they also form contacts with a ''wide'' variety of people who help them later in life - this is more obviously helpful for Valerie's backstory as the ''MagicSchoolBus'' episodes show her social network to be quite widely cast, but Carmen would also benefit from such a network as well in order to keep her activites on the down-low.

That's why she is such a FriendlyEnemy, she's just in it to have fun because she's got nothing else to do. She'll even help her enemies as long as she has someone to compete with. It explains her worldly knowledge, and doing [[ImpossibleThief stealing impossible things]] just because [[LivingForeverIsAwesome she knows she won't die doing it]].

Alternatively, their child could be [[RanmaOneHalf Ryoga]]

* PhineasAndFerb could find the children, It's just they would have their memories wiped/stolen.

* In [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4378356/4/Magical_Girl_Ranko_vs_Z_Fighter_Ryouga Magical Girl Ranko vs Z Fighter Ryouga]] ([[CaptainObvious yes, it's a crack fic]], and the sequel of the infamous [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3844604/1/Ryouga_vs_the_Road_Runner Ryouga vs the Road Runner]]), Ryoga accidentally told Ukyo that his mother is an international criminal, but then said he was joking and that [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial his mother definitely isn't the head of an international organization named V.I.L.E.]]. Wisely, Ukyo decided she didn't actually want to know.
