History YMMV / KimPossible

** Changing Kim's sport profession from cheerleading to soccer was received badly, since her being a cheerleader is one of her defining traits and also explains why she's so athletic. However, it's a mild case, since [[OlderThanTheyThink Kim was a soccer coach in the show, too]].

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Zita is a fan of an ''VideoGame/{{Everquest}}'' parody (which still exists but has been overthrown by ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft''), there's a '90s-esque reoccuring BoyBand, and Kim's fashion sense reeks of early 2000s. Not to mention the extreme sports theming of several episodes.

** Heck, watching the episode "Cap'n Drakken", you wouldn't even know the two were ''in'' a relationship, and could mistake it for a season 3 episode.

** Athena, for those who didn't resent her inclusion from the start. The idea of there being a heroine, [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter who's better than Kim]] and makes the latter feel worse about her own capabilities is a pretty decent idea. Even her [[spoiler:[[TheMole turning out to be a spy]] was (while [[CaptainObviousReveal predictable]]), a nice direction for the plot to go to, since she, unlike Eric, actually manages to do a HeelFaceTurn, which would make for an [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe interesting dynamic]]]]. However, as mentioned before, some dislike her becoming a permanent member of Team Possible, since she's disturbing Kim and Ron's dynamic. Her [[spoiler:turning out to be [[RoboticReveal a robot]]]] was also recieved badly, since it's pretty obvious that the writers needed some sort of way to [[spoiler:have her [[DisneyDeath survive the explosion]], [[WeCanRebuildHim without being to unrealistic about it]]]].

* WTHCastingAgency:
** 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 Creator/SeanGiambrone, while [[BaseBreakingCharacter still debatable]] regarding Ron’s role in the story, could still capture Ron’s essence while also sounding like Will Friedle.
** Creator/GaryCole, Creator/JeanSmart, and Creator/PatrickWarburton not reprising their roles as Mr. and Mrs. Possible and Mr. Barkin respectively, despite being screen actors, just as Creator/PattonOswalt got to return as Professor Dementor. Likewise no cameo from Will Friedle despite Christy showing up for one[[note]] Of course, Will Friedle suffers from anxiety and had more or less quit acting onscreen for years until he reprised his StarMakingRole as Eric Matthews on ''Series/GirlMeetsWorld'', so that may have been a contributing factor[[/note]], Tahj Mowry (Voice of Wade), Creator/NicoleSullivan (Shego), Creator/JohnDiMaggio (Drakken [[note]]Though John rarely does on-screen roles, being more comfortable with voice acting[[/note]]) or, even more odd, Raven-Symoné (Monique) for that matter despite the fact at the time she had a show running on Disney during the film's production (''Series/RavensHome'').
** WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic brings up an interesting point in his review about not using Christy Carlson Romano and Will Friedle to play Kim's parents rather than the former just showing up for a cameo. Indeed the two can look the part given the right makeup and actually would've been an nice in-joke with their [=VAs=] now being the parents to the live action version.
** 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 actress does well enough. Though, bizarrely, she looks more like Kim than the actress playing her does despite being 20 years her senior.

** Badass, but sweet-natured redhead who fights evil between her classes, and is famous for being able to do anything? Bumbling, {{Adorkable}} blond guy who hangs out with her because, despite some people thinking she's way out of his league, even the best of us needs someone who has her back? Snarky, EvilIsSexy villainess with a memorable mane of dark hair to go with her freaky powers? Wait, are we talking about Kim Possible, or [[WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} Pyrrha Nikos]]? (Fortunately the similarities mostly end there, otherwise [[spoiler:season 3 would have ended with Shego fatally shooting Kim in the heart]].)

** The 'lying is wrong' aesop of "October 31st" is laid so thick that it feels like one is beaten on the head with a hammer with how heavy handed it is. Many fans even complain that it ruined the first holiday episode.

* LGBTFanbase: Both Kim and Shego are ''very'' popular with women.

* LauncherOfAThousandShips: Both Kim and Shego.

* EvilIsSexy:
** Shego. In the one episode when she turned good she was sweet and all, but when she's evil she is sexy! She wears a swimsuit, at work, in the same room as her boss, and his companion, several times.
--->'''Wade''': Her name is Shego. She is wanted in eleven countries.
---> '''Ron''': Make that twelve!
** There is also Adrena Lynn, Camille Leon and Warmonga.

* InformedWrongness: This is more of an InUniverse example: the other students (and even outsiders) make Kim out to be this envious, incompetent opponent in the "Royal Pain" episode when she runs against Prince Wally for president. They only wanted Prince Wally to win the election due to their own shallow reasons (despite Kim being more humble and grounded than the arrogant Prince). It's no wonder Prince Wally is TheScrappy and has never appeared on the show again after this episode.

* JerksAreWorseThanVillains: One of the main reasons Artie is considered TheScrappy by so many is that he's not a charismatic villain like the rest of Kim's Rogues Gallery. He's just a snobby, rebellious, spoiled brat who makes Ron's life miserable for kicks and completely disrespects everyone trying to mentor him in life because of anger over his [[WhenYouComingHomeDad father not spending enough time with him]].

* TheScrappy:
** Prince Wally from the episode "Royal Pain" is considered one of the most obnoxious and unlikable characters the series ever had, with many viewers [[RootingForTheEmpire rooting for the Knights of Rodeghan to ax him off.]] This might be the reason he was never utilized again following his episode.
** Artie Smarty. Though the show makes clear he's the way he is because his single workaholic father ignores him.

** Ron's adopted sister, Hana, garners some flak for being yet another example of his [[ParentalNeglect parents]] springing life-changing decisions on him out of the blue with zero warning or consulting his opinion on the matter, as well as her being a CousinOliver in a series that already had a decently sized cast of characters. Some also find her to waver dangerously close to MarySue territory with her being a martial arts master despite her infancy, even being the one to defeat Yono and result in Monkey Fist being [[TakenForGranite turned to stone]]. However, she only has prominence in two episodes, her skills are at least someone justified by her being a product of the Yamanouchi Ninja School, and she is an adorably cute baby in the end.

* BrokenBase: The eventual {{Official Couple}} of Drakken/Shego is often debated amongst some fans even after all these years. As usual, the issues are "Was it written/foreshadowed well or was it StrangledByTheRedString?" and "Do they work better as friends or lovers?". The main {{Official Couple}} of [[ChildhoodFriendRomance Kim and Ron]] was also notorious, including over the [[ShipToShipCombat rift it caused]] with [[FoeYayShipping Kigo]]
* [[CantUnhearIt Can't Unsee It:]] Some viewers say that Kim's upper lip (being drawn thicker than her lower lip and almost the same color as her hair) looks like a mustache.

[[/folder]]

** Warmonga. This is the reason she returned in the final episode as a BigBad alongside Warhok.

** For the majority of the show's run, Shego has been a popular character with the LGBTFanbase. In the early 2020s, Shego's voice actor, Creator/NicoleSullivan, would play [[WesternAnimation/HarleyQuinn2019 another green-skinned villainess is in fact bisexual]].

* CriticalDissonance: On Website/RottenTomatoes, the film holds a 100% fresh rating from critics, while audiences have been more negative and given the film a 28% rating.

** [[SuperPoweredEvilSide Evil Ron]] is widely considered one of the most dangerous, hypercompetent villains in the series. Not only is he a super-genius that actively has multiple evil plans working at once and can build a doomsday weapon with ease, but he's also a master at reading people and knowing exactly how to manipulate them to do what he wants. He's able to get Drakken's own technology working better than he could, easily defeats Electronique in hand-to-hand combat despite her having the ability to shoot [[ShockAndAwe lightning bolts]] at him, and he was the only villain to actually try to turn Kim evil. His most impressive feat is his managing to successfully intimidate Shego into cowering to his will by fixing one of Drakken's inventions to make him invincible to her plasma blasts and threatening to have her eaten alive by sharks if she didn't learn her place.

** [[HypercompetentSidekick Shego]] is the dangerously competent, hilariously snarky [[TheDragon Dragon]] to Dr. Drakken. Having become a villain for sheer thrills, Shego serves alongside Drakken thanks to a genuine care for the man, putting up with and ensuring his ridiculous plans go off with far more success than he alone ever could manage. Dropping hints for her boss hidden in sarcasm, saving his life and plans on the regular, and always keeping pace in physical combat with Kim Possible herself, Shego rarely loses her sternly dark composure no matter what she faces. Able to train the airheaded Senior Jr. to be a master criminal, take advantage of an amnesiac Kim to amass an immense fortune of stolen cash, and even use time travel to take over the world for decades in a scheme of her own when she felt ambitious, Shego is consistently established as Kim's [[ArchEnemy most lethal, competent foe]], who only holds back due to a usual lack of interest and a set of [[EvenEvilHasStandards notable morals]]. Shego ends the series saving Kim's life and the entire world by teaming up with her alongside Drakken to stop the Lorwardian fleet from conquering Earth, resulting in Shego being hailed as a hero and apparently turning over a new life to serve as an ally to the heroes of the planet.

** Ron ''Stoppable'' The Death Eater. Seriously, you go on ''one'' [[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons Helm Of]] [[MirrorMoralityMachine Opposite Alignment]]-induced rampage and suddenly everyone expects you to be the next Doctor Doom. Ironically enough, a lot (though not all) of "Ron turning evil" fics are less to get him out of the way for Kim and Shego to get together and more because.... the Opposite Alignment version of Ron was arguably the coolest, most badass villain on the show!

* JustHereForGodzilla: Many find that only the scenes centering around Drakken and Shego are worth watching, as despite their appearances not being quite up-to-snuff with their cartoon designs, their actors seem to be the only ones actually [[HamAndCheese having fun]] with their characters rather than just sleepwalking through their performances like the rest of the case.
