*** If young Mandark presumably remembered the events of the final battle after being returned to the present, why didn’t he have the time machine destroyed the ''second'' he gained control of Dexter’s lab? It'd prevent Dexter from traveling to the future in the first place, considering the time machine still needs to exist (and be in working condition) in the time period you're going to. Better yet, why didn't he try to go back and prevent ''Dee Dee'' from using it and causing the loop in the first place?

** Dexter's personality changed ''drastically'' across the 4 time periods shown- from confident, brash kid Dexter to cowardly, early twenties nervous wreck Twelve to middle-aged heroic Action Hero to forgetful Old Man- and his voice reflects those major shifts in his character. In contrast, Mandark's personality stayed ''exactly the same'' in every time period, stagnantly remaining the selfish, petulant little boy he’s always been- he keeps ''sounding'' like a child because he's still ''acting'' like one!
