I reread Invincible Issue #11 and the subway scene is original to the animated series


** In "The Rise of Miss Power", Miss Power takes [=WordGirl=] down into a subway during their fight, much like a certain scene in ''WesternAnimation/{{Invincible|2021}}''. Luckily Miss Power pulls [=WordGirl=] back out of the subway before the scene can play out the same way. However, this was very likely a reference to the ''{{ComicBook/Invincible}}'' comic, which came out way before [=WordGirl=].

** "Word Makes A Mistake" has Becky/Word Girl explain her origins about being an alien from Lexicon and her adoption to her (adoptive) father and TJ... [[CassandraTruth but the two of them just chalk it off as her having a serious imagination, neither of them take her story seriously]], and moment is never brought up again. It would have been incredible to bring Tim and TJ Botsford into the loop and have them (and possibly even Sally) be {{SecretKeeper}}s. Then WordGirl would finally be able to stop lying and hiding secrets from her adoptive family all the time. But alas, StatusQuoIsGod.

** The show the general has made it clear that the titular hero is an alien from the planet Lexicon, but aside from her origins being briefly explained in "Word Makes A Mistake", the show's rarely if ''ever'', seems to bring this up. As far as we know, [=WordGirl=]'s home planet was never blown up or destroyed and she never said she was the LastOfHerKind, meaning storylines could have been done relating to Lexicon, and some of the planet's residents. Maybe she's briefly visit her planet for reunion, or maybe some Lexiconians would come to Earth. Why the show never tries this is beyond anyone's guess.
** Despite Dr. Two-Brains being [=WordGirl=]'s former mentor who turned evil due to a FreakLabAccident involving a megalomaniacal mouse, [=WordGirl=] rarely tries to view him as her ex-mentor and usually treats him like just another villain. (AngstWhatAngst covers this) You think there would be a storyline about her trying to find or even create a cure for his split personality. Even if it fails due to StatusQuoIsGod, is would showcase that [=WordGirl=] didn't forget about Boxleitner.
*** Or maybe Two-Brains could have changed back into Boxleitner for good in the GrandFinale, with Squeaky being disposed of.

** Tim is the only Botsford to never have an episode where he got tricked by Seymour in Season 2, whereas TJ got one episode and Sally received two.

* FanonDiscontinuity: "Victoria is the Best... Wordgirl" for some, since it has to lower the intelligence of the characters in order for the plot to work.
