* ReplacementPedestal: After Courage shows how much of a DirtyCoward he is, the boys ditch him and look up to Launchpad.

to:

* ReplacementPedestal: After The episode features a "one pedestal breaks as another is rebuilt" version. The boys fawn over the hero of their favorite TV show, ''Courage of the Cosmos''. Launchpad butts heads with him and the boys (who normally have some respect for Launchpad's heroic side) turn on him, claiming that he's just jealous. Unfortunately, the group gets into an actual space adventure no thanks to Gyro following Scrooge's instructions too closely. When Major Courage shows how much of himself to be a DirtyCoward he is, coward and Launchpad saves the day, the boys ditch him chew Courage out and look up return to Launchpad.respecting the pilot.

* CorruptedCharacterCopy: Major Courage is a copy of Creator/WilliamShatner's Kirk, in all the wrong ways. The "major" continually talks in the same odd rhythm that Kirk uses when he gets excited, and is equally [[LargeHam hammy]], but in reality, he's got none of the courage of the original. Part of this is the merge between character and actor during the episode. We see almost nothing about how Courage is portrayed in the show, but the actor, while he's happy to adopt the role of heroic space commander to show off, doesn't live up to the hype.

Kirk, while he doesn't interact with children much thanks to his job, protects them fiercely from any peril. "Courage" (or rather, his actor) readily abandons the boys to save himself.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* ImprobablePilotingSkills: Launchpad [[InWorkingOrder intuits]] how to operate an [[UpToEleven alien space ship]], a vehicle ''he'' had even expressed doubts about his ability to control. He flies it like he's been doing it all his life.

Added DiffLines:

* AccidentalAstronaut: During the filming of the first revamped episode, the starship ''Phoenix'' smashes through the ceiling and goes into space (Scrooge told Gyro to make the set as real as possible, and Gyro took him literally). This causes trouble when the group encounters very real and hostile aliens.

* GladIThoughtOfIt: Seconds after Launchpad suggests that one of them should play sick as a distraction, Courage announces that they'll use "the old sickness ploy" to escape. Notably, Launchpad doesn't say anything, but his smirk indicates he knows Courage did not come up with that idea on his own.
