** In a rare visual variant, a scene in "Low Budget" has Shego raising her plasma-covered hand at Drakken as a threat. Many fans think that Shego is actually FlippingTheBird. Due to the plasma it's impossible to tell whether this is accidental or a ParentalBonus. Signs lean towards the former as Shego seems to be holding her hand straight.

** In "Grande Size Me" Ron is trying to prove that the "Wheel of Good Eating"(based on the real-life "food pyramid") is false, many years later it was revealed that the food pyramid was in fact a myth to the point that many [[https://www.hyperbiotics.com/blogs/recent-articles/myth-of-the-food-pyramid health groups]] now explicitly say not to follow it. The fact that a "healthy eating" episode was mandated by execs in the first place makes this even more funny.

** One complaint that fans have about the fourth season is that there wasn't as much romance between Kim and Ron as they were hoping for. [[JustifiedTrope This makes sense]] considering that Kim and Ron's new relationship [[{{Irony}} was one of the main reasons fans petitioned for a fourth season in the first place]].

* {{Squick}}: In "Homecoming Upset" it's said that Brick Flagg was held back three times in high school, graduating from Middleton High School only by Season 4. Based on the average age of high schoolers and the maximum attendance age of 21 in the [=US=] public schooling system, that means that by the ''So the Drama'' prom dance, Brick would be approximately 20-21 years old, making him at the least four or five years older than his on-and-off girlfriend Bonnie, who would be approximately 16-17.

trimming natter, Kim was hardly a Mary-Sue in season one given that in at least one episode("Mind Games") she has to get saved by a normal civilian


* GrowingTheBeard: Sure, the first season was liked, but Kim was something of a Mary Sue, somewhat egotistical, and, at times, the world seemed to really only exist to show how awesome Kim was. Then Steve Loter came in during season 2 as a director/producer -- under his wing, the story pacing was sped up, and much more focus was put on other characters besides Kim, such as Ron, Drakken and Shego.

** While it was probably unavoidable given the change to a live action format, a lot of people are also criticizing the casting choices, claiming that none of the actors resemble their cartoon selves or capture their personalities, even taking the costume changes below into account. Oddly enough, some have argued that Sadie Stanley looks too young to be playing Kim, even though she was stated to be 16 at the time of the film's announcement, [[RealityIsUnrealistic the same age as her cartoon counterpart.]] Once the film came out, most viewers at least seemed to agree on praising Taylor Ortega (Shego)’s portrayal for being the most similar to her original cartoon self and that Sean Giambrone, while [[BaseBreakingCharacter still debatable]] regarding Ron’s role in the story, could still capture Ron’s essence while also sounding like Will Friedle.

** In fact, many were actually surprised to see Creator/AlysonHannigan (Willow from ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' and Lily from ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'') in the role of the mother instead, citing it's not a bad choice and the actor does well enough. Though, bizarrely, looks more like Kim then the actress playing her does despite being 20 years her senior.

** One of the more slight complaints is how the film goes for a "girl empowering" feel which the show rarely, if ever, did. Being more an action-adventure comedy with a female lead that put everyone on equal footing then really focusing on that. The fact that the climax involved pretty much all the female Possibles members confronting Drakken and Shego rather than the whole family coming to help out didn't help this notion.
