History YMMV / WendellAndWild

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Fans either love Manberg for his badass past and PetTheDog moments or hate him for his exploitation of other characters, with the fact that he is the only Jewish character in the movie adding heat to both sides of the argument.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Natalia and the rest of the town council have spent years serving in a MayorOfAGhostTown role while thwarting the Klaxons and having some kind of skills that have kept the Klaxons from simply assassinating them (with Natalia also investigating the Klaxons), but they only have a few minutes of combined screentime, little of which shows them at their most interesting.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Is Father Bests' preoccupation with keeping the school open out of concern for the wellbeing of his students, staff, community, or some combination of the three? Or does he just want to keep his cushy job? On a related note, what exactly is his role in the brewery fire? Did he agree to falsely vouch for the Klaxons after the fire or ''beforehand'' (meaning he had a chance to stop it but didn't)? If he only vouched for them afterward, did he know they were the arsonists, choose to be willfully blind, or honestly think they were innocent (in which case his comment about vouching for them could be a reminder that he stood by them when they were under suspicion [[TheParanoiac that they took entirely the wrong way]])?

* FriendlyFandoms: With ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'' due to both animated films having non-white 13-year-old female protagonists who have supernatural abilities. Also, both films were nominated for the UsefulNotes/AnnieAward for best animated feature of 2022.

** Buffalo Belzar is so massive he himself is the location of his AmusementParkOfDoom. Attendees (disembodied spirits, thankfully) are swallowed whole and get a trip through his guts before being [[{{GassHole}} farted out]] and strapped into the rides. His sons are forced to live in his nose and make dummies of themselves out of his snot to sneak away. Even the ticks in his hair are the size of rats. Fat ones.

* MagnificentBastard: [[HandicappedBadass Manberg "the Merciless"]] is Rust Bank's [[AlmightyJanitor Catholic school janitor]] and secretly a [[HunterOfMonsters demon hunter]] who in the past captured devils in jars with the [[{{Blackmail}} forced help]] of Sister Helley's Hell Maiden abilities. After Kat Elliot steals his demonic teddy bear from Helley, Manberg correctly guesses her to be a Hell Maiden wanting to use it to invoke demons, and after Helley brings her to him for help, Manberg aids in doing a blood bind between them to cut Kat's vow to her demons, give her control over her precognitive powers, and make her face the memories of her parents' deaths. After giving the father of demons Buffalo Belzer all of his children back, Manberg helps the heroes in fending off the demolition of the town.

* AcclaimedFlop: This film went through a lengthy and difficult DevelopmentHell, and also received little to no marketing from Netflix (probably thanks in part to its UncertainAudience and [[AnimationAgeGhetto PG-13 Rating]]). Nevertheless, it made Top 10 Trending movies on its first weekend (near Halloween).
