History WesternAnimation / TheAmazingSpiez

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Tony and Megan, given that both of their parents are Caucasian. Hopefully they're adopted. [[ChocolateBaby Otherwise]]… [[HarveyBirdmanAttorneyAtLaw ha ha,]] UnfortunateImplications!** There aren't necessarily UnfortunateImplications; they could take after a relative we never see or even Aunt Trudi and their mother's side of the family or [[RealityIsUnrealistic they could simply be the result of the insanity that is human genetics that doesn't necessarily make you look like people who share any of your genetics.]]

Another offering from Creator/MarathonMedia, the studio behind ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies'' and ''WesternAnimation/MartinMystery'', originally created for DisneyChannel Asia, later imported into the Creator/CartoonNetwork. The series, a sort of SpiritualSuccessor to ''Totally Spies'' featuring [[SpinOffBabies much younger protagonists]], is about the adventures of four young siblings (Tony, Marc, Megan, and Lee Clark) who must balance their lives in middle school with their secret lives as spies working for WOOHP, the World Organization of Human Protection. Though Jerry appears once more as a coordinator and parent figure for the young heroes, [[TotallySpies Sam, Alex, and Clover]] do not return but have made at least one appearance.

* FourTemperamentEnsemble: With Lee as the Choleric, Megan as the Phlegmatic, Marc as the Melancholic, and Tony as the Sanguine.
** FourPhilosophyEnsemble: Cynic (Marc), Optimist (Lee), Realist (Megan), Apathetic (Tony)

** Not to mention that Megan as Gravity Girl in "Operation Fun and Games" can easily remind one of [[XMen Storm]].

* DistressedDude/DistressedDamsel: Not nearly as often as in ''TotallySpies'', but as you can expect, all four Spiez have their fair share of these types of situations.

* DistressedDude / DistressedDamsel: Not nearly as often as in ''TotallySpies'', but as you can expect, all four Spiez have their fair share of these types of situations.

* IdenticalStranger: Megan looks just like if Alex from ''TotallySpies'' if she was younger and even fills the role of Tomboy.
* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Everything's an operation for these kids...

* JerkJock: Averted, Lee does have a couple moments of chauvinism or over-competitiveness but is generally a really nice kid.

* NeverSayDie: or you'll be "eliminated"

* DifferentAsNightAndDay: While Marc and Megan aren't as extreme as some examples of this trope, this trope ''is'' present. Here's how: 1. [[CaptainObvious (and this is the most obvious one) Marc is a boy while Megan is a girl.]]; 2. their complexions are opposite with Marc having fairly light skin while Megan's is much darker; 3. Megan has GreenEyes which make her look slightly exotic while Marc has more mundane BrownEyes; 4. Marc's hair is a light shade while Megan's is a fairly dark shade of black; 4. Marc's outfit in civilian attire is overall much lighter than Megan's; and finally 5. their personalities. Marc is a slightly feminine self-proclaimed geek who's the SmartGuy of his team as the resident BadassBookworm and GadgeteerGenius and a fairly good example of a SociallyAwkwardHero while Megan is a [[{{Tomboy}} Tomboyish]] {{Fasionista}} who's the team [[TheChick chick]] and well versed in social interactions.

** LovableAlphaBitch: On a few occasions, and as a whole she's preferable to [[TotallySpies Mandy.]]

* {{Animesque}}: It looks like a comic, but withholds some of the anime qualities of it's predecessor.

* {{Crossover}}: With it's predecessor in at least two episodes
* DeathTrap: Not as many as it's predecessor, but they're there.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Tony and Megan, given both of their parents are Caucasian
** Well, hopefully they're adopted. [[ChocolateBaby Otherwise]]... [[HarveyBirdmanAttorneyAtLaw ha ha,]] UnfortunateImplications!

Another offering from MarathonMedia, the studio behind ''TotallySpies'' and ''MartinMystery'', originally created for DisneyChannel Asia, later imported into the CartoonNetwork. The series, a sort of {{spiritual successor}} to ''Totally Spies'' featuring [[SpinOffBabies much younger protagonists]], is about the adventures of four young siblings (Tony, Marc, Megan, and Lee Clark) who must balance their lives in middle school with their secret lives as spies working for WOOHP, the World Organization of Human Protection. Though Jerry appears once more as a coordinator and parent figure for the young heroes, [[TotallySpies Sam, Alex, and Clover]] do not return but have made at least one appearance.

While ''Totally Spies'' drew inspiration from {{shoujo}} manga, ''The Amazing Spiez'' is also inspired by western {{comic books}}.

** Well, hopefully they're adopted. [[ChocolateBaby Otherwise]]... [[HarveyBirdmanAttorneyAtLaw ha ha,]] {{unfortunate implications}}!

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: After about a month, CartoonNetwork moved the show from the afternoon to an uncomfortable early-morning slot before pulling it off the air entirely.

** LoveableAlphaBitch: On a few occasions, and as a whole she's preferable to [[TotallySpies Mandy.]]

* LesYay: In "Operation Yeti Bear", Megan seems to be quite enamored with athletic prodigy Tara Prefontaine...
-->'''Megan:''' Wow! That is one fantastic girl!

* EstrogenBrigadeBait: Most of the same college-aged males who perved over ''TotallySpies'' ''hate'' this show, but preteen girls are lapping it up. Their favorite is almost unanimously [[NerdsAreSexy Marc]].

* AirVentEscape: In "Operation Spy-Sitter".

* HeyItsThatVoice: [[StephanieBeard Tami's VA]] is the same one that did Stacy in ''Totally Spies'', as well as Rini on ''SailorMoon''.
** Speaking of ''SailorMoon'', Tony's VA, Julie Lemieux, voiced Sammy/Shingo in the English dub.
** AlysonCourt as Megan.
** Gus Jr was voiced by the same person who vocied Myron from {{Wayside}}

* SuperVillain: The villains in this show, while they do still have really stupid {{Freudian Excuse}}s, they're costumed and have powers or gadgets related to their "Theme", the [[TotallySpies the old show]] had some shades of it, but this show has more obvious SuperVillain inspiration. Even the villains that ''do'' return have underwent a reworked design more befitting of a SuperVillain.

* FetishFuel: Not nearly as much as its predecessor, but it's there.
** Aimed mostly at the show's fanbase of 9-14 year old girls, if the scenes of [[EstrogenBrigadeBait Marc and Tony]] half-naked at the start of "Operation Nano Spiez" are any indication.

* SuperVillain: The villains in this show, while they do still have really stupid {{Freudian Excuse}}s, they're costumed and have powers or gadgets related to their "Theme", not saying [[TotallySpies the old show]] didn't, but this show has more obvious SuperVillain inspiration.

** Marc's crush in "Operation Crabby Bob" is named Sheena '''West'''on. Remind you of [[ForYourEyesOnly anyone]]?

* TheLibby: Tami
