Line #10 YMMV/Motorcity


1	* SugarWiki/AwesomeArt: The series gets consistent high praise for its eye-popping use of Flash animation, a combination of extremely detailed 2D rigs (basically, ''every conceivable angle'' of the characters are pre-drawn) animated frame-by-frame as opposed to tweened, as well as "paperless" traditional hand-drawn animation. There's also the brilliantly lit backgrounds, and unique designs.
2	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OyAuYvijPo theme song]] was done by [[WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}} Brendon Small]] himself. Yep, even Dethklok digs the Burners.
3	** The extended theme finally plays in the season-finale-turned-series-finale, and it is nothing short of excellent.
4	** The rest of the score is also fantastic if metal and techno is your thing.
5	* CargoShip:
6	** Texas and Lv. 25 Battle Axe.
7	** The Duke of Detroit and his limos.
8	** Duke and Mike with Mutt.
9	* CrazyIsCool: The Duke of Detroit. The climax of his intro episode sums it up: he has [[spoiler: a tank that shoots limos. Not as in it shoots at limos, it uses limos as AMMO.]]
10	%% ** Threat Level Texas has Texas explain some events of previous episodes with a definite Artistic License. Among those changes were, the core in Power Trip was his distilled Awesomeness, and when a real bomb was found, Texas Drank it to become Super Zombie Texas and later Ultra Mega Zombie Texas (who can fly), before dropping the bomb on Kane, making Kane a giant, and defeating mike with his ponytail, Texas also grows giant to fight Kane.
11	* CultClassic: It's by no means a mainstream Disney show, but it has one dedicated fanbase in sites like Website/{{Tumblr}}; certainly helped by the fact that several staff members have Tumblr accounts, which they use to actively talk about the show and share production art.
12	* DesignatedHero: In Texas's image spot, he and Mike appear as ones. Mike runs off to play hide and seek [[note]]instead of going missing like in the episode in question[[/note]] when the weather machine threatens everything in Motorcity. Texas assaults and beats up the Hockey gang for bothering him while eating [[note]]in the actual episode they attacked the burners to get the bounty on their heads[[/note]], and getting the other gangs in on a high stakes race with the Duke, just to make it more challenging [[note]]instead of The Duke doing that through loophole abuse[[/note]]. He also deliberately compromises his shrinking plan for infiltrating Kane co. because he thought it was too good and needed to humor Mike's plan [[note]]instead of his plan being to impractical, and Mike's plan being the one used[[/note]].
13	* EnsembleDarkhorse:
14	** The Duke Of Detroit. The days surrounding his ''premiere'' episode had a staff-run art contest for him. He was supposed to only appear in 2 episodes, but was so popular he got 6, including a major part in the finale.
15	** Foxy of the Amazons (the one female gang leader in "The Duke of Detroit") has gotten loads of fanart and shipping despite having a grand total of one line in that episode. The fandom was in absolute delight when she was featured prominently in "Julie and the Amazons." Being voiced by ''Creator/JenniferHale'' certainly helps.
16	** Similarly, the leader of the Mama's Boys, Junior, has gotten a sizable fan following.
17	** Jenzen has had a good amount of fanart made of him, despite only appearing in one episode and that not a lot is known about him. Could be because some fans think he's Red as they debuted in the same episode.
18	** Capri, Mike Chilton's sister that was revealed through the [[http://peopleofmotorcity.tumblr.com PoM page]], [[http://peopleofmotorcity.tumblr.com/post/52163819320 as drawn by creator Chris Prynoski,]] is turning out to be this.
19	* FanNickname: Red got the nickname Revengo from the staff.
20	* MemeticMutation:
21	** "I'm Mike Chilton."
22	** [[http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m882bzHxuI1qguhi0.png Mike Chilton Funbucks]] for not cursing.
23	*** [[http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m882jy1AgF1qguhi0.png Duke dollars]].
24	*** [[http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m882qjlich1qguhi0.png Chuck change.]]
25	*** [[https://31.media.tumblr.com/abdb3626b62499e8ce940c769a36f584/tumblr_n91binlu071tu912ao1_1280.png Abraham Kane Nofunallowedbucks.]]
26	** Making variations of Mike's name like: Mike Chicken, Milk Chilton, Bike Chilton, Mike Hilton... the list is way too long.
27	** Giving Mike rabbit ears or even making him into a rabbit due to his cowlicks. And similarly making Chuck into a dog and Julie into a cat.
28	* PeripheryDemographic: While it's a hit with its target audience, it's also become incredibly popular with viewers (including females) in their late teens.
29	* RetroactiveRecognition: Mike (Creator/ReidScott) is [[Series/{{Veep}} Dan Egan]] and [[Film/Venom2018 Dr. Dan Lewis]].
30	* ShipMates: The most common net of ships are [[HoYay Mike/Chuck]], [[ShipTease Julie/Texas]], and [[BirdsOfAFeather Dutch/Tenny]]. Another less common variation is [[SlapSlapKiss Dutch/Texas]] and [[LesYay Julie/Claire]]. There's also the even less common variant of Mike/Julie and Chuck/Claire.
31	* ShipTease: One can argue that it's pretty heavy between [[spoiler: Mike and Julie in "A Better Tomorrow."]]
32	* SpiritualSuccessor: It's like an all-human variant of ''WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM''- Mike is Sonic, Julie is Sally, Chuck is Tails, Dutch is Rotor, Texas is Antoine (though with Bunnie's strength), Jacob is Uncle Chuck, R.O.T.H. is NICOLE, and Kane is Robotnik. And just like that show, Disney screwed it over.
33	* UglyCute: R.O.T.H.
34	* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: Just ''watch'' the animation and tell yourself that it's not, in fact, pencil-on-paper traditional.
