History YMMV / BuzzLightyearOfStarCommand

* MemeticMutation: The bit of Zurg replaying and laughing at Buzz's eulogy has often been used to depict him laughing at other hilarious moments, such as [[https://youtu.be/8M_UQ3vsqxw here]].

* SpiritualAntithesis: To ''VideoGame/ToyStory2''. Although both games have you play as Buzz Lightyear and share the same game engine and [[Creator/TravellersTales developer]], the gameplay is both games are radically different. Unlike Toy Story 2, where that game takes inspiration from VideoGame/SuperMario64 and VideoGame/SpyroTheDragon, this game, on the other hand, has its gameplay heavily modeled after that of VideoGame/CrashBandicoot.

* SpiritualSuccessor: To ''VideoGame/ToyStory2'', even sharing the same game engine and [[Creator/TravellersTales developer]].

--> '''Zurg''': And if I may remind you, no [[Franchise/StarWars giant]] [[Film/ANewHope trash compactor]]! When heroes fall in, they always have enough time to figure a way out! Make it [[spoiler:an incinerator]]!

** Creator/NicoleSullivan plays a character who’s mockingly referred to as "princess" by one of the villains, though technically [[ModestRoyalty she is]]. Two years she be [[WesternAnimation/KimPossible on a show]] playing the villain that mockingly calls the hero "princess".

* VindicatedByHistory: Similar to ''[[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfTarzan Tarzan]]'', ''[[WesternAnimation/HerculesTheAnimatedSeries Hercules]]'' and ''[[WesternAnimation/AladdinTheSeries Aladdin]]'' shows, the ''Star Command'' series never got much acclaim compared to the films it was based on and even ''Toy Story'' creator John Lasseter wasn’t fond of it. Come 2022 with the release and underperformance of ''WesternAnimation/{{Lightyear}}'' which was meant to be the true Buzz Lightyear spin-off and now a lot more people are appreciative of the show for expanding Buzz’s lore in exciting and interesting ways while keeping Buzz’s personality from the Pixar films. In contrast to the 2022 film, which is a [[AudienceAlienatingPremise grounded methodical story]], jarring with the fun aspects that made Buzz so beloved and iconic in the first place.

* AcceptableProfessionalTargets: Politicians.
--> '''Zurg''': Innocent politicians?! Don't be oxymoronic!

** Zurg, a character partly based on the evil Emperor from {{Film/Star Wars}} ridicules the idea of an {{evil plan}} involving kidnapping politicians because it’s far too obvious. Not half a decade later {{Film/Revenge of the Sith}} began with an evil plot to kidnap a politician that has Palpatine as its mastermind.

** The pilot movie has the plot featuring [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier the best friend of a soldier who is at first thought to be dead but is actually the true identity of]] TheDragon [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier for the bad guys]] and a [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits ragtag bunch of intergalactic misfits]] [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy who don't get along at first but become a family unit by the end]]. As a bonus Warp even has a robotic arm to replace a lost one.

* CargoShip: XR shows signs of having a crush on Mira, although it's one-sided on his part. Then there was the episode where the team's ship, Fourty-Two, became sentient. Can you say [[UpToEleven Double]] CargoShip?
