Up To Eleven is being dewicked.


* In "The Hero" Wander is shown to want to rescue a princess to UpToEleven levels. In "The Epic Quest Of Unfathomable Difficulty" Wander gets to save ''two'' princesses, but doesn't care about them at all! What gives?! [[spoiler: He was too focused on saving the sock. (Or rather, the person who lost it.) He saved the princesses as required tasks on the checklist, not because they needed help.]]

* Wander's conflict with Dr. Screwball Jones is an obvious reference to Batman and the Joker. But when you think about it, Wander's conflict with Lord Hater also resembles that of Batman and the Joker, especially in ''Film/TheDarkKnight'', where the Joker describes their situation as "an unstoppable force meets an immovable object." You could say that Wander is the unstoppable force because he is TheAce who always foils Hater's plans, ''or'' you could say that he is the immovable object because he is an AllLovingHero who is completely devoted to doing good and making people happy, even those who hate him. You could say that Lord Hater is the unstoppable force because he is a scary, planet-conquering overlord with great powers and a huge army, or you could say that he is the immovable object because he refuses to change his evil ways no matter how many times Wander tries to guide him towards the path of good.

* Speaking of [[WhatMeasureIsAMook Watchdog damage at the hands of the good guys]], they left a vicious XenomorphXerox on the Skullship in the form of Captain Tim. Keep in mind that Tim killed the entire crew of the ship Wander and Sylvia found him on. (Writer Frank Angones joked that he's the second-most common cause of Watchdog death after "[s]tarvation due to being unsure how Watchdogs eat.")

Adult Fear is now a disambig


* Wander at the beginning of "The Wanders" makes a good point in that he wanted to save the baby squirrel from whatever terrible thing was in the cave, so that nothing would happen to it. Being a baby, the squirrel's personality would be even more fragmented and underdeveloped, and Sylvia wouldn't necessarily have been able to invoke FlawExploitation the way she did when Wander's personality fragmented. That could have been AdultFear there in trying and failing to save a baby from CessationOfExistence.

* In "The Show Stopper," no matter how hard [[EnemyMine Peepers and Sylvia]] try, they cannot stop Hater and Wander's concert. Wander is the [[DesignatedHero hero]], mind, and one of the few times he's in the wrong; but Sylvia cannot reason with him or stop him by force. Just think of how dangerous Wander would be if he were like that ALL the time.

* Why is Major Threat (or "Jeff") so sure Hater has good inside of him by the end of "The Good Bad Guy"? Hater may have put the pieces together, but there's no hint that Jeff knows that "Tumbleweed" knows Hater--he doesn't see Hater copying Wanfer's actions, he just sees Hater acting all goofy and sunshiney and assumes that it's coming from Hater's own personality!

** Another from the shorts: Wander shouts out a series of characters he met during Season 1, including Westley, who [[FakingTheDead faked his own death]] to defect from the Watchdog army. Hater completely misses this, [[ComedicSociopathy because he had forgotten who Westley was]] by TheStinger of that episode.

* Also in "The Hero", it becomes apparent that [[spoiler: Princess Demura saving herself]] is very fitting, as it's meant to set up Wander being a {{Foil}} to [[spoiler: Brad Starlight]]. The entirety of the episode is about how life can't always go the way you want to. [[spoiler: All Brad wanted was to fulfill his "destiny" of saving Princss Demura from King Drakor and 'living happily ever after'. Every step of the way, nothing in Brad's "prophecy" came true, and he doesn't take it very well. Whereas Wander simply wanted to save a princess. Despite that he doesn't get to save the princess, he's happy for Demura when she rescues herself.]]

*Here’s one from the shorts. The reason the camera started glitching in, well, “The Glitch” is because Hater accidentally electrocuted it at the end of “The Sharpshooter”, the short right before that one!

* Wander tends to be accompanied by banjo music, Hater by RottenRockAndRoll, Emperor Awesome by FreakyElectronicMusic, and Dominator by OrchestralBombing (although varying wildly). This highlights their relationships: Wander keeps trying to get closer to Hater, as their instruments are similar. Wander doesn't even try to reason with Awesome, and they kinda just ignore each other, while Hater keeps trying to join Awesome. And Wander tries and fails to bond with Dominator, shown by how their music has little in common.
** Elaborating on that, [[MusicalEpisode My Fair Hatey]] shows their character development with the music: Hater gets a much softer version of rock than usual, Wander switches to showtune music, and Dominator's usually dark orchestra switches to a lighter jazzy piece (while using many instruments in common with orchestra).

** Also, at this point in the show he'd already "kinda sorta saved a princess", so it could also be a case of 'been there, done that' on his part.

They did pull an Enemy Mine. In the finale. Just not with the giant problem-ending robot.


* The fact that [[spoiler:even when facing the end of the galaxy, Wander and Sylvia can't form an EnemyMine with Hater and Peepers, despite Wander wanting to be friends with "Hatey". This doesn't bode well for Wander's attempts to befriend Hater or for the latter two to pull a HeelFaceTurn.]]
