WMG / Molly of Denali

Go To

Tooey's parents are divorced
Tooey's dad Kenji is always shown, but his mom is nowhere to be seen. However, she was mentioned in "Name Game" and "Fiddle Of Nowhere". It's strange that a show with a strong emphasis on family would exclude one of the most prominent child character's parents. I bet Tooey's parents are divorced and that his mom lives somewhere else in Qyah. Perhaps this will be addressed in an upcoming Very Special Episode. (They did an episode all about the forced assimilation of native kids into boarding schools, so an episode about divorce isn't exactly out of the question. Sesame Street and Arthur have done it.)
  • Jossed, as Atsaq's still shown sharing the same house. She's just busy most of the time.

Oscar the Canada Lynx
The episode "Climb Every Mountain" marks the beginning of Oscar's origin story as a lynx-themed, crimefighting superhero with superhuman climbing abilities.
  • Sorta confirmed? The episode "Home Made Heroes" has Oscar make his own superhero Niinjii (Lynx Boy). Maybe the Molly of Denali writers actually read this page.

Suki is sentient
There are times when Suki seems to be more aware of things than an average dog.

Mr. Patak is gay
This is based on nothing but my gut feeling, but why not?

How Molly's grandpa got his name
The writers named him and chose his occupation after National Geographic. Which is known by the nickname NatGeo. And "geo" is an abbreviation of both "geography" and "geology." Grandpa Nat is a geologist. He is literally Nat-Geo. Specifically he's a volcanologist, but volcanology is a subfield of geology.

Mr. Rowley had handedness correction in school
Throughout season 1, when he's shown playing the guitar, he plays left-handed. In the episode "Heat Wave," he's shown using his left hand exclusively to work with tools—then he switches to his right hand to write something down. He is old enough that he certainly would've had to go through the US's abusive handedness correction program in school, which trained a lot of lefties to write with their right hand, but didn't stop them from doing tasks with their other hand. To this day, people who suffered handedness correction still cannot write with their dominant hand, either because they've lost that specific skill or because it's too traumatic to put a pencil in their left hand.
