Considering how the reaction doesn't seem to be intended and there was no real foreshadowing on the show itself, I think this fits Captain Obvious Reveal more than The Untwist


* CaptainObviousReveal: [[spoiler: Grace Wain is Erica Wang's future self. Considering that we were introduced to Melvinborg in the Season 1 finale along with how Erica is always 3 steps ahead of everyone, the reveal was a little anticlimactic]].



* TheUntwist: [[spoiler: Grace Wain is Erica Wang's future self. Considering that we were introduced to Melvinborg in the Season 1 finale along with how Erica is always 3 steps ahead of everyone, the reveal was a little anticlimactic]].

* IKnewIt: For some fans, [[spoiler:after TheReveal at the end of Season 1, the revelation that Grace Wain was Erica Wang’s future self at the end of Season 2]] was kind of obvious.

* BizarroEpisode: While the show is already pretty weird, "Captain Underpants and the Monstrous Mayhem of the Massive Melviathan" is especially so. A good chunk of the episode takes place in a dream dimension that George and Harold control and the main villain is a giant kraken-like creature with Melvin's facial features and glasses.



** In “The Angry Abnormal Atrocities of the Astute Animal Aggressors” there is a scene where we see Krupp's emotions discussing a plan to get rid of the kids. Hungry Krupp's idea? ''[[ImAHumanitarian Eat them]]''.

* JerkassHasAPoint: Mr. Krupp's fury at George and Harold makes sense as their antics usually get the school/camp destroyed OnceAnEpisode.

** Much like the above example, some fans had similar feelings towards "Captain Underpants and the Dastardly Deed of the Devious Diddlysaurus", which would've been another good opportunity to introduce one of the franchise's {{Team Pet}}s; Crackers, the ''Pterodon'' that George and Harold adopted during their time travel escapades in Book 7.

** A lot of fans felt this way about the Season 2 episode “The Bombastic Blathering of Brainy Blabulous”, as it would’ve been a perfect opportunity to basically be the 8th book in animated form, but they never capitalized on it. Season 4's "The Disturbing Dilemma of the Dysfunctional Doppelgängers" got the same reaction.

** Heck! All of George and Harold’s friends are seen as great additions to the cast, thanks to their diverse, multi-layered, and colorful personalities.

* AuthorsSavingThrow:
** One of the complaints from [[WesternAnimation/CaptainUnderpantsTheFirstEpicMovie the movie]] is that both Harold and George [[VocalDissonance sounded too old for]] elementary school aged boys. The series however brought back ChildrenVoicingChildren for most of the child characters.
** Some fans who felt like the movie [[LighterAndSofter watered down]] the anarchistic spirit of the original books have said that this is a better adaptation for the screen, as it not only brings back much of the beloved ToiletHumor but also bares a close aesthetic resemblance to them ([[AddedAlliterativeAppeal alliterative]] chapter breaks, {{lemony narrat|or}}ion) without eschewing the well-received CharacterDevelopment and {{art shift}}s from the movie.
** Another complaint was how Melvin's possible redemption at the end of the season 2 finale was ruined in the season 3 premiere where Melvin goes back to being an unsympathetic antagonist for the entire season. The HalloweenSpecial somewhat remedies this by having [[spoiler: the boys invite Melvin to go sneak-or-snacking with them which in turn softens the nerd's heart because of their thoughtful gesture]].

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


** The creepy ventriloquist dummy that resembles Mr. Krupp. It borders on UncannyValley territory.

She is a hate sink - which means she can't be a scrappy if the fans hate her for the reason the creator intended.


* TheScrappy: [[AbusiveParents Bernice]], Mr. Krupp’s mother, quickly became this among fans because of her behaviour towards her son leading him to become a mean principal, Though it's quite likely she wasn't meant to be liked.

Foe Yay has been cut


* FoeYay: In "Captain Underpants and the Shadowy Syndrome of the Sinister Splotch", Captain Underpants makes a few comments towards Splotch that came across as a little flirty.

I understand why people are unhappy about this, but the entry lacks a citation from a reputable source and thus fails to meet our rules.


* UnfortunateImplications: Many fans were quite outraged when the "Mega Blissmas" special showed Mr. Krupp, a man who was stated to be [[InformedJudaism Jewish thanks to his wedding in Book 5]], openly celebrating Christmas and not even referencing anything related to Judaism. It's quite offensive that his Jewish faith was carelessly erased in order to show more focus for the already popular Christian holiday.
