Line #21 YMMV/MaddigansQuest


1	* AngstWhatAngst:
2	** After ''Hillfolk'', Timon and Eden barely mention their parents' deaths.
3	** Maddie also falls for Yves surprisingly fast, considering her husband died at the start of the series.
4	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Victoria Kelly's lush [[http://web.mac.com/pookina1/Maddigans_Quest/Maddigans_Quest_Podcasts/Maddigans_Quest_Podcasts.html score]] for the series, especially the opening and closing themes, captured the spirit of the Fantasia's journey.
5	* CompleteMonster:
6	** [[FromNobodyToNightmare The Nennog]] is the evil, gene-splicing BigBad of the series and the ruler of the insidious BadFuture. Once a mere [[WasOnceAMan human duke]] who took advantage of a crippling winter to convince the city of Solis to place him in power, the Nennog transforms Solis into a radioactive hellhole answerable only to himself, where citizens die merely for speaking up against him. In the present day, the Nennog possesses an innocent woman to blow up the solar converter that threatens his rule, careless this would take out anyone in the area for miles. The Nennog is also the EvilUncle to the time-sliding children Timon, Eden and Jewel; having already killed their parents, the Nennog takes a special interest in corrupting Timon to become its would-be heir, mutating him in a process as agonizing mentally as it is physically. In its lowest moment, the Nennog almost convinces a half-mutated Timon to strangle his baby sister to death.
7	** "Gramth": [[MayorPain The Mayor of Gramth]] holds a totalitarian dictatorship over the city, wallowing in wealth and power while his constituents suffer in squalor. In order to buff out his mining operations, the Mayor regularly has [[WouldHurtAChild children]] snatched off the street and [[SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil forced into hard labor]] in the mines. The children are worked to exhaustion and [[ElectricTorture shocked with electricity]] to keep them in line, and any child found wandering the streets without proper identification are immediately grabbed for enslavement.
8	** "Greentown": [[ImAHumanitarian Missy and Brewer]], seemingly the cook and butler, respectively, for the strange community of Greentown, actually run the entire place behind-the-scenes. The two lure in innocents from near and far with the prospect of incredible feasts. The "feasts" are actually worms and dirt; Missy and Brewer are secretly cannibalistic {{serial killer}}s who enchant their victims with [[FantasticDrug fantastic drugs]], then kill them to eat them and leave nothing to waste. Even denying payment over food (since "you can't eat money") the two have murdered dozens, with a room full of the belongings of their previous victims [[WouldHurtAChild shown to include dolls and stuffed animals]].
9	** "Off the Map": UsefulNotes/{{Blackbeard}} is a scummy pirate captain who makes his living by kidnapping batches of women and girls. Blackbeard then [[HumanTraffickers sells them off]] to Manland, an island biologically incapable of giving birth to females, so that the women can be forcibly married off and [[SexSlave used to repopulate the island]]. Capturing the Fantasia troupe, Blackbeard plans to sell the men to the Nennog for a terrible fate, while he intends to hand the women over to Manland as his latest "delivery", gleefully informing them of their coming fate as married slaves.
10	%%* EnsembleDarkhorse: Boomer. Oh so much.
11	* HilariousInHindsight: Fans of ''Series/PowerRangersRPM'' may notice some amusing parallels and reminders of the season, as follows:
12	** The tunnels in the episode "Greentown" are the exact same ones used for Alphabet Soup, a secret government organization dedicated to raising child prodigies like Olivia Tennet's character Dr. K, who [[spoiler:[[NiceJobBreakingItHero causes the near destruction of Earth when she releases a computer supervirus named Venjix]] because [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds she "just wanted to go outside"]]]] after finding out that she and her friends were not allergic to sunlight--the pretense under which they have been kept hidden from the world by their handlers.
13	** In the episode "Newton", Garland has to bail out Lilith and Milo Cawthorne's one-shot character Bolek from an underground toxic waste dump. Fast forward to ''RPM'' a few years later, and Rose's character Summer ends up rescuing Olivia's and Milo's characters (Dr. K and Ziggy Grover) from a cave in the episode "If Venjix Won".
14	*** Earlier in that episode, Bolek throws a tomato at Lilith. On ''RPM'', Milo's character Ziggy ends up being the ButtMonkey to Olivia's Dr. K, the series' LittleMissSnarker mentor figure. It appears that the pair have experience giving each others' characters a difficult time.
15	** In the episode "Off The Map", Garland agrees to marry the son of the pirate Sultan to keep the solar converter from the wrong hands. In one episode of ''RPM'', Rose's character Summer agrees to go through with her ArrangedMarriage to keep the MacGuffin away from the season's BigBad Venjix. In both cases, it's thankfully subverted.
16	* IAmNotShazam: The girl protagonist isn't Maddigan; she's Garland Maddigan. The circus is called Maddigan's Fantasia and the show itself is called Maddigan's Quest in reference to the quest that the entire circus takes. (In fact, Maddigan's Fantasia is the title of [[Creator/MargaretMahy Margaret Mahy's]] original book, which was changed when the producers got leery about using the word "Fantasia" and risking copyright problems with the Disney film).
17	%%* TheScrappy: Lilith.
18	* {{Squick}}:
19	** In the episode Greentown, a heavily drugged Ozul protests blearily that 'that's very exotic, master, but I must warn you- I'm ticklish!' [[BioAugmentation Given]] [[EvilMakesYouUgly the master]] [[{{Mutants}} in question]]...
20	** Also in ''Solis'', when [[spoiler:a fully-transformed Timon catches a passing bug with his tongue.]]
