Fridge / Megas XLR

Fridge Brilliance

• The post-series reveal that Coop would accidentally bring about the creation of the Glorfft was funny in the Nice Job Breaking It, Hero humor of the series, but holy freaking cow, it explains why the Glorfft can't beat Coop even when they had him dead for rights: the whole series is a Stable Time Loop. The Glorfft can't destroy Coop because without him they wouldn't have been created. And without the Glorfft, MEGAS would never have been built, Kiva would never have stole it and sent it back in time, Coop's not having MEGAS would mean the Glorfft would never exist and... and... I need to sit down. That's why Coop and friends always survive through luck and Contrived Coincidence, time itself will not let them loose without causing a paradox. Who knew that a Deconstructive Parody could be so effing brilliant. - koolkame
• Kiva's strange descriptions of the future. One of the best examples is this statement:
  Coop: Apparently you never had a slushie. What do you use to cool off in the future.
  Kiva: *frowns and looks slightly confused* A ration packet of balanced electrolytic rehydrating fluid.
  Coop: *Beat* That is one bleak future you come from.
  • You understand why Kiva's future sounds so boring when you think about it. In the future, humanity has been effectively conquered. They already had a battle called, "The Last Stand". They have to be an collapsing civilization maybe with an exile government. They don't have the time or resources to get resources and most of the people are either military or already under Glorfft control. She even lampshades it in the next episode.
• Kiva's tan getting lighter while on Earth. In space, there is more UV rays and people may have cured cancer, making blocking it a non-concern.
  • It may also apply to her rounder face and lack of cheekbones in Season 2 since she would have adjusted to laidback lifestyle and increased caloric intake in Coop's time while also probably having routine exercise to keep her in shape. As stated in one episode, Kiva's timeline would have seen essential resources—such as food—being rationed in desperate war against Glorft.
• In "Breakout" we're informed that Grrkek has been imprisoned for nearly 2 trillion years. Our universe is only 14 billion years old. To put that in perspective, that means Grrkek has been imprisoned nearly 143 times the age of our universe. Meaning he may well have come from a different universe. Which is why he was so easily stopped by a large quantity of water. Different universes means the potential for entirely different laws of physics from the ones he was accustomed to.
• Evil Coop's version of MEGAS puts up a much better fight than Coop's version did, well enough for Coop to match his counterpart's much more advanced model blow-for-blow during their rematch. Well, one of the running hiccups our heroes keep running into is most of MEGAS' tech hasn't been invented yet, so they have to scramble for parts and improvise repairs any time something breaks. When Evil Coop destroyed his universe's Glorft, he gave Kiva and himself a surplus of spare parts and technologies to repair MEGAS with.
• In the two-part series finale "Rearview Mirror, Mirror", Coop's Imagine Spot of the cool alternate universes he could've visited other than the one where he's evil ends with him frolicking with the Lurps. This seems odd given that it was established back in "Breakout" that he wasn't a fan of the franchise, but he also was shown to be on better terms with Georgie at the end of that episode. It's possible that after befriending Georgie, Coop made an effort to understand why Georgie liked the Lurps and ended up changing his opinion on them after seeing the franchise's merits.
