* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Shaman may have come off as negligent for not doing more to help Jay and Brad in “The Price”, however Shaman’s role in the episode may have served not as a guardian to Brad but to the audience themselves. The entire point of the episode was teaching kids to seek out trusted adults for help when it came to drugs, and many kids in real life who were (and still are) in Brad’s position ''don’t'' have someone to tell them that it’s okay to tell on friends for these type of situations. Shaman wasn’t so much as a guide to Brad in the episode as he was a voice to the audience telling them that ''they'' (the audience) weren’t a bad friend if they wanted to help a friend in need by telling on them.
* AngstWhatAngst: Several characters are the last of their people ([=BraveStarr=], the Shaman, Thirty/Thirty, Stampede, and a few guest characters) but none of them seem to care.
* {{Anvilicious}}: The series drops all subtlety and kid-friendliness and flat out says how far the dangers of drug abuse can go in "[[Recap/BraveStarrS1E26ThePrice The Price]]". On the flip side, kids who see others doing drugs need to inform their parents or other responsible adults before the worst can happen.
* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The opening theme song (or at least the first half) is decently stirring.
* BreakoutCharacter: BoisterousBruiser sidekick Thirty-Thirty made a noticeably bigger splash in popular culture than [=BraveStarr=] himself due to being a quotable horselike cyborg with a {{BFG}}.
* CargoShip: Thirty-Thirty x {{BFG}} Sara Jane (who even got named by Thirty-Thirty).
* DesignatedLoveInterest: Brave Starr and J.B.'s romantic moments are so few and far in-between, you'd think there was nothing going on with them.
* EnsembleDarkhorse:
** Jingles Morgan managed to make a very strong impression, due to having a surprisingly nuanced backstory of his fall from grace due to his bad decisions, as well as his personal ties as [=BraveStarr=]'s former mentor at the Marshal Academy. The emotional conflict between him and [=BraveStarr=] is considered to be quite a highlight of the episode ''"[[Recap/BravestarrS1E2FallenIdol Fallen Idol]]"'' due to the complicated feelings of [=BraveStarr=] about his idol's fall into outlaw, and [[IveComeTooFar Jingles' reflection on his past mistakes.]] [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter Some were actually quite disappointed at him only having one episode, with one reviewer feeling he was too good of a character for this series.]]
** Thunderstick, the stuttering robot with the ArmCannon, is one of the least fleshed out of Hex's primary henchmen but is also the best-liked of the bunch. His fellow outlaw robot Cactus Head is also well-liked for his quirkiness and NotSoHarmless villain moments.
** Two-Faced Dingo Dan and Howler appear less often than the main Dingo {{Mook}}s (Barker, Goldtooth, and the unnamed one with armbands and a yellow shirt) but are probably more popular for having AwesomeAussie accents, distinctive designs, and unique skills in addition to their gunfighting (Dan shapeshifts and Howler rides live steeds instead of the hoverbike turbo mules). It helps that they are uninvolved in some of the Dingos' worst KickTheDog moments.
* FairForItsDay: [=BraveStarr=] is a textbook MagicalNativeAmerican, as is his ParentalSubstitute Mentor the Shaman, but he's also the heroic lead in an action series and toy franchise, something of a rarity even today. Not to mention he wears Western clothing and is shown to fit perfectly naturally in society, rather than anachronistic BraidsBeadsAndBuckskins.
* PopularWithFurries: Thirty-Thirty, of course.
* RetroactiveRecognition: In the Mexican Spanish dub, this show was for both the titular hero, who was voiced by Jorge Santos, before his StarMakingRole as both [[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} Jafar]] and [[Anime/VisionOfEscaflowne Folken Fanel]], and also for Creator/RicardoTejedo, who voiced the same character as a kid, and also was his debut role as a voice actor.
* TheScrappy: The Prairie People can be this for some viewers due to their odd voices and sometimes being overly naive.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter:
** At least one reviewer has noted that Jingles Morgan may be too good a character for this series, but he only shows up in one episode.
** On the good side, the same might be true of {{Broken Ace}}s Lucas Conway (although he makes one subsequent cameo) and Paco, as well as Wimble, the Prairie person child adopted by Thirty Thirty.
* UglyCute: The prairie people can fall under this at times. Even Outlaw Scuzz has his moments where he looks downright cuddly.
* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: In "The Price," [=BraveStarr=] and Thirty-Thirty are revealed to have thrown everyone undergoing Spin withdrawal, men ''and'' women, into the single jail cell in Fort Kerium. The town doctor appears only briefly, and is nowhere in sight as the victims experience painful withdrawal symptoms. While intended to be a ScareEmStraight moment, it reflects ''very'' poorly on the protagonists. The Shaman doesn't come off too well, either, since he clearly knows what's going on but chooses to stay out of the way even after ''a child'' gets addicted to Spin.
