Headscratchers / Kappa Mikey

Go To

  • In Script Assassin, Guano quits, and the crew is faced with a replacement writer and director who is famous for killing off characters in past shows he worked on. Mikey and friends try to prevent him from killing off Gonard's character at the same time that Ozu is duped into convincing Guano to return. ....um..... Gonard plays the villain on LilyMu! Shouldn't having him killed benefit the storyline and boost ratings?
    • No, in the words of the immortal Ferb Fletcher, a hero's a hero, but everyone loves a good villain. It's basically Joker Immunity. Killing off a well liked character is a good way to lose your show.
  • Sooo... Is Mikey fluent in spoken Japanese (the pilot has him unable to read the written language), is every single Japanese person he meets fluent enough in English to hold a conversation with him, or does the show simply run on Translation Convention ? If so, is it even lampshaded at any point ?
    • I always figured that, since the world of Kappa Mikey runs on the rules of different countries having different art styles, that Japanese people in this universe were just conveniently able to "dub" themselves in English whenever they want.
    • Maybe Mikey is good at speaking Japanese, but didn't learn to read it (well) in the pilot.
