* VillainDecay:
** Richard spends the first half of Season Two as Lukas and Co.'s whiny and annoying ButtMonkey drag-along in the LostWorld, his position as the BigBad having been usurped by Botila. [[spoiler:He regains his standing in the final two episodes "Rise of Evil" and "Battle Royale"]].
** Botila started out as a [[WesternAnimation/KimPossible Shego]]-esque badass DeadpanSnarker HypercompetentSidekick. While she remained fairly competent once she took over as the main threat, she also became a far hammier and more comedic character; she loses her head (which gets eaten by a fish and stuck in automatic sliding doors at different points) far more often, becomes far more prone to slapstick gags like getting smacked around by treetops while being airlifted out of the redwoods, and constantly keeps trying to do an EvilLaugh, only for it to always come out as a weird and corny UnEvilLaugh. This may be due to her becoming more human than she'll admit.
