A potential TV Tropes page for some Brazilian animated series' Western Animation
As a fan of Brazilian and South American animation as a whole, I have suggested that we should create pages for shows from that country that don't have one, largely due to not being well known outside of their home countries (Ba Da Bean being the closest exception) and their wikis being either non-existent or small. From a list from most likely to least likely:
- Zuzubaland (also known as Zuzubalandia in Brazil): An animated Continuity Reboot of the 1998 Puppet Show of the same name and based on the 1997 book Jujubalandia; created by Mariana Caltabiano. The show centers around Zuzu and friends living in Zuzubaland, a kingdom made up of various types of food (namely cand) and is ruled by King Appetite. The show mostly centers around Random Event Plots caused by either Zuzu, her friends, or the series' antagonists, The Green With and Garfedia. The show has an Official website
, its own YouTube in both Portugal and English, an English dub by Bang Zoom! Entertainment and a huge Cash-Cow Franchise in Brazil right next to Monica's Gang.
- Ba Da Bean: An animated series by Michael Hack that centers around a bean sprout planted in a paper cup as he ventures into the world of art. It has its own English dub, also by Bang Zoom! Entertainment, that stars Stephanie Panisello as the title character, Suzie Yeung as Cosa, Amber May as Kami and Dino Andrade as York. Stephanie Panisello is known for her role as Claire Redfield in the Resident Evil series; Suzie Yeung and Amber May are known for their roles Genshin Impact as Eula and Dehya respectively, and Dino Andrade is known for his roles in World of Warcraft as well as playing the title character on the aforementioned Zuzubaland.
- Vivi (also known as Vivi Viravento in Brazil): An animated series created by Alê Abreu, who is a well-known Brazilian filmmaker, based on the 2009 short film of the same name. It stars Vivi, her backpack Mochilao and her flashlight Lanterninha as they travel all around the world to find the world of Viravento (or "Whirlyland" according to the Qubo dub). Speaking of Qubo, the show once aired there during the channel's life span note , and is available on Tubi with an English dub, though information on said dub is unknown. The show is very obscure even in its home country.
- Underdogs United (also known as Metegol: Underdogs United in Argentina): An animated series created by the award-winning Juan José Campanella and is based off of the 2013 Metegol film. It's a Flash-animated Denser and Wackier Edutainment Show that takes a few ques from anime (such as the Super-Deformed chibi sprites); Capi, Beto and Loco (now named Kiko) are the main characters in this series alongside Canon Foreigners Emma and Gigi. It having a world dedicated to all sports besides foosball note , appropriately titled Sportsville, while our heroes try to stop the Big Bad Waldoberto Worst whose goal is to get ride of all of the sports so he can be all alone (basically the Argentina equivalent to Robbie Rotten). Unfortunately, information of the series is hard to come by in no small part of it being unavailable to watch legally outside of a VPN, a lack of an IMDb page and that most sources of the Metegol don't even mention it at all. Even the English dub is borderline lost media since no-one knows who the ENG VAs are, who directed the dub, and what studio recorded the dub. It's fanbase is also small due to its divisive reception by Metegol fans who dislike it for having nothing to do with it's source material beyond the name and having three of the Foosball players supporting characters as the main protagonists.
What do you guys think of these shows and do you want them to have their own pages on This Very Wiki. Comment down below to see your answers.

Safe to recreate Lunar Jim Western Animation
Is it safe to recreate Lunar Jim because it's an Animated Show aimed at young children, about the adventures of a spaceman named Jim. Produced in Canada, and it's animated using Stop Motion animation. It can be seen on PBS channels.
Also the stories take place on Blue Moon L22 and it encourages problem-solving Once an Episode.

Trivia relevancy on Voltron: Legendary Defender Western Animation
Hello,
I was doing a Wiki Walk and i found this trivia about Voltron: Legendary Defender:
-"The Klance (Keith/Lance) fanfiction "Dirty Laundry" had the second most kudos of all fanfiction on Archive of Our Own. (It is second only to a Groot parody fic.)"
I was wondering about the relevancy of this information and if it should be removed since it's not really about the show itself and seem oddly specific to me.
What are your thoughts on this?
Is it safe to recreate pages for The Simpsons Season 34 Western Animation
I mean, while they were created by a ban evader, they’re still conspicuous by their non-existence.
should Mowgli from the Jungle Book be removed from the does not like shoes category? Western Animation
as in the Does Not Like Shoes page it states that it does not apply if the work portrays a society where no one wears them and well in the first Jungle Book that's the case since he lives in a Jungle among animals.
and in the second film the dress code of the village he lives in appears to be that none of the children are expected to wear footwear all of them are seen barefoot and only a couple of adult characters are seen wearing footwear.
so Mowgli's character not wearing shoes isn't just down to personal preference as its the societal norm of where he lives and if he was any other character he still wouldn't wear shoes because none of the children in the village do.

JojiMC Western Animation
I am having an issue with Joji MC's edits.
Most of their edits seem relatively fine on paper, but a few days ago they made a UU page for Disney dedicated to ribbing on any Disney character in mind.
I personally think the page should be cut, but I want your guys' opinions first.
Not sure where to put this. Western Animation
Characters.The Bad Guys 2022. Psi 001 keeps insisting that Diane knew that the Bad Guys would attack the Golden Dolphin ceremony (while she might have suspected, we don't know that she actually planned them to do so).
I didn't know whether or not to put this under Is this an Example thread even though I suspect at least A Taste of Defeat is a misuse. At the very least, I think the entries should be rewritten to be a little more neutral.
- A Taste of Defeat:
- During the Golden Dolphin ceremony, Wolf manages to dupe her into giving them security access, then the gang makes it past her "WPSST" Protection System and steal the Golden Dolphin from right behind her. While Luggins' forces stop them, Diane is visibly irritated about them outsmarting her and ruining the ceremony.
- Marmalade ends up the first person to capture her and discover her identity as the Crimson Paw against her will (the former was admitedly Wolf's fault, though the latter was down to her own cockiness with the Zumpango Diamond).
- Tempting Fate: Diane knew her earlier undermining of the Bad Guys would earn a retaliation, though was fine letting them crash and burn by pulling a revenge scheme. This results in the Bad Guys actually outsmarting her security precautions and nearly running off with the Golden Dolphin, as well as giving Marmalade an opportunity to start his own heist.
- Fatal Flaw:
- Pride. It is downplayed since she can back up her bragging and, as the Crimson Paw, was the best thief in the world. However, even by her level of prowess, she pushes her luck throughout the film. As shown with her conversation with "Mr Poodleton", due to her own experience, she initially doesn't see the Bad Guys as serious threats and mocks them on TV, unwittingly setting off the whole plot and nearly losing the Golden Dolphin during the Good Samaritan Awards. Marmalade also figures out her identity because she was brazen enough to wear the stolen Zumpango Diamond as her personal ring (and even traded it to Wolf on one occasion). The only things stopping her cockiness from catching up to her are Wolf interrupting her Heroic Sacrifice and Marmalade getting caught with the ring, implicating him as the Crimson Paw.
- Complacency. She's a Consummate Professional that has never been caught, and as a result underestimates any strategy besides her's and doesn't bother to make any back up plan. This gets her into trouble on both occasions she is finally outsmarted, having never had a plan get outdone before and thus having no idea how to improvise around it, leaving her panicing helpless until an outside force saves her. This tends to be exclusive to the strategic end of things however, on the physical end, she's a nimble fighter and stuntsman even in a pinch.
- During the Good Samaritan Awards, she makes conspicuously clear she knows the Bad Guys are going to try some revenge scheme for her earlier trash talk. It is revealed she has the Golden Dolphin guarded by the "Wolf Piranha Snake Shark Tarantula" (or "WPSST") Protection System, aided by multiple software securities that Webs just barely overrides in time.
Trim the fat. Western Animation
I want to add two characters to The Simpsons Nelson I’ve done but it comes across as bloated
Nelson is presented as someone who grew beyond his initial characterization of a Barbaric Bully by being provided some Hidden Depths. In many ways he comes across as a Distaff Counterpart to Lisa. However it is when analyze his relationship with Bart that his trope comes into play. Nelson is shown to be given numerous advantages with people going out of their way to help him. you are supposed to feel sorry for him when he suffers the consequences of his actions but he never really shows remorse or even acknowledges that he did anything wrong. all in all his life is used more as Jerk Justifications then a legitimate Freudian Excuse.
- As stated above he he took advantage of Marge letting him into her home by to bully Bart, and even after Bart found his father and reunited his family he refused to stop doing it. When they became friends in "The Haw-Hawed Couple" it is treated as a allegory for a toxic relationship with Nelson checking all of the boxes of an abuser, but despite this Bart is treated as a Fair-Weather Friend instead of a victim . this also ignored the fact that that they only became friends because Bart was the only one who came to his party (he was forced) after he stole everyone’s money.
- Better Off Ned finally deconstructs Homer’s habit of using Operation: Jealousy on his son. It shows just how cruel this to the child Homer uses, but still plays it completely straight with Bart who Nelson tried to Murder the Hypotenuse. The episode ends with Nelson having shoved Milhouse into a freezer despite Ned mentoring him. Finally, Nelson’s response to being punished for breaking Bart’s arm in Top Goon was to go Then Let Me Be Evil and join the mafia
All I have for principle skinner is a basic and I can’t figure out how to start it. First is his relationship with bart you are supposed to feel sorry for him because bart is his worst nightmare. However Springfield elementary is repeatedly shown to be the worst school in city. In fact whenever bart and lisa are taken out of the school or even their respective classes because they are actually being taught his grades rise and her’s lowers. Then there is the fact that because he’s a Dean Bitterman he’s always actively scheming for ways to make the school worse then it already by cutting its already abysmal budget. Finally his relationship with bart just comes across as creepy. Skinner never shows the same obsession with other kids that he does with bart. Stalking him when he thinks he's cutting school, putting a student on his payroll in Bart's gang as a mole and setting up stings to get Bart in trouble so he'll commit detention-worthy crimes.
This same thing applies with his relationship with Superintendent Chalmers who repeatedly belittles and yells at him. however as stated Skinner is incompetent at his job while skinner finally standing up to him in "Bart Stops to Smell the Roosevelts" is supposed to be a Catharsis Factor its undercut by Chalmers actually teaching bart.
After several seasons of watching Principal Skinner be belittled and yelled at by Superintendent Chalmers for not being able to contain Bart Simpson's rampages, it can be extremely gratifying to see Principal Skinner finally stand up to him for a change in, telling Chalmers that he should just teach Bart himself if he thinks it's such an easy job. Chalmers' shocked reaction and the teachers outright cheering for Skinner make it even better.
What really makes him this is Edna you are supposed to feel sorry for him because she doesn’t want to get back together with him. however in "Special Edna" he’s shown to be incredibly abusive. It’s insinuated that him constantly canceling dates with her to spend time with his mother is due to the belief that she can’t do better. he only started making an effort in their relationship after she was nominated for "Teacher of the Year" before outright sabotaging her. despite this she accepts his his marriage proposal. When he gets cold feet in But in "My Big Fat Geek Wedding" she breaks up with him seeing that his proposal was just another escalation of his abusive behavior. Afterwards he keeps pestering her to get back together and the first thing he did upon finding out that her and Ned were together was to brag that he had slept with her.
Finally you can’t even feel sorry for him because of how overbearing agnis is as he was the one who chose her over edna.
All in all skinner comes across as a Insufferable Imbecile then someone who the audience is supposed to sympathise with.
Is there a specific age requirement for a female character to qualify as a MsFanservice? Western Animation
Asking here because there's this troper, JohnnyBeBad, who keeps deleting my Ms. Fanservice entry for the Diana character from Dungeons and Dragons (1983), who's technically 14 but looks at least 17 and is wearing a Fur Bikini. The show isn't even shy about highlighting her figure in some scenes, so I thought it'd be okay to add her. JohnnyBeBad seems to have an issue with Diana's age tho, so he thinks it should be deleted and now I realize we got into an edit war over it. I'd rather avoid escalating things further, so if the other troper's deletion is justified, please clarify things with me. It's just that I've checked the Ms. Fanservice page and at no point anywhere does it say there's an age requirement, only the looks and the clothing, which Diana seems to fit.
Edit: For those curious, this is what Diana looks.
There is no S33 nor S34 of The Simpsons in Ba Sing Se Western Animation
I had noticed that quite a few recap pages on episodes of the latter 2 seasons of The Simpsons were deleted by being associated with a ban evader. I wonder if we should recreate them, let alone from scratch.
Duplicate pages Western Animation
There are two different pages for the same Bob's Burgers episode, "Turkey in a Can". One is indexed, as part of the show's Recap page, while the other is not, and is shorter and less detailed than the first. Can I add the second one to the cutlist?
Total Drama cleanup Western Animation
I'm considering starting a cleanup thread for the Total Drama pages. They've come up a lot on other cleanup threads, and the pages are chock full of unsourced speculation and rumors that I'd like to clear up. Due to the disjointed and heated nature of its fanbase, I'd like to dedicate a specific effort to cleaning the pages up.
This is a cautionary measure to ensure a thread doesn't exist before I make it in Short Term, as well as a means to gauge interest.
This one thing I add that keeps getting deleted… Western Animation
On the page for The Simpsons episode "Girls Just Want to Have Sums", I've tried a number of times to open a YMMV section with an example of Values Dissonance, only to find that it's vanished when I go back to it later.
The example in question is Nelson straight-up using a transphobic slur in one scene.
Is there a reason why this keeps getting rejected?

Without Sin: All Star Edition Western Animation
Hi there, I'm the author of the fanfic Loud House Story "Without Sin: All Star Edition". A fan made an entry here on the site... and it was brought to my attention the story was cut.
Now, be that as it may for the entry being cut, after reading the thread involved, I saw a gross mischarterization of my story and wanted to set the record straight.
For one, the story is not an endorsement of Incest, or child sexual action. There are no explicit sex scenes within the story. There are no 'lemons', no detailed scenes of characters engaged in the act of sex with one another.
For two, the story does not condone what has transpired between Lincoln in the "Sinverse" and his sisters. The quotes that were used in the thread were all from 'Sin Lincoln"'s perspective. He is biased, that's the point. He doesn't want to see what transpired between himself and his sisters as 'wrong'.
For three, the 'sins' of his family have resulted in one of his own children being a victim within the story of grooming.
What has happened to Lemy, with his aunt 'Lily' is not presented as good and wholesome, but quite the opposite.
The point of this story is to take a good hard look at the 'sinkids' fandom in the Loud House, and present the realistic circumstances that would have to take place for them to exist...with a Lincoln from another world who was not involved in an incestuous relationship with his sisters becoming involved and how he reacts to it.
The story is not an endorsement of incest, child sexualploitation or anything akin to that. It is a condemnation of those things... while still presenting the children that resulted from the actions as 'innocent' of their parents's collective sins.
While titlation does exist within the story, there are no sex scenes and there will be no sex scenes within the story. I can understand if you think the story still does not 'belong' on tvtropes but I wanted to set the record straight exactly on what the story is NOT.
It is not an erotic incest pedophiliac story meant for wank material.
It is instead an exploration of the fandom of the Loud House that often has an incest filtered Kink, but in a realistic manner with the consequences of those actions.
Thank you.
Edit War in Zootpia fan works Western Animation
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/el.php?findfor=Kervin
I am honestly not quite sure how to explain this.
On March 19, Kervin posted this entry to the Fan Works page for Zootopia.
- A Birth of a New End — A future comic that shows an alternate ending of "I Will Survive" will be commissioned by @kervinfire However he said that he needed the PayPalmoney as donations to commission Borba to make the comic. The story is still kept a secret
Zuxtron deleted it with the following edit reason: Let's not have Paypal links here. This story doesn't even exist yet, it's just someone's commission idea they can't afford.
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/article_history.php?article=FanWorks.Zootopia#edit36690530
Well today, Kervin readded the entry with this as an edit reason: I was the one who made Birth of New End and I am Kervin Fire in Tumblr but someone tries o ruin it by deleting my category. I 'm not letting anyone ruin the fandom I have been for the past years in my life. I need to do whatever it takes to get the money and fix the ending. Its a promise that I am willing to take.
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/article_history.php?article=FanWorks.Zootopia#edit36701486
I know they are edit warring, but well should I send a notifier for rudeness as well? Also is asking for money breaking the rules? I don't think it is, but I am not sure.

Edit Warring? Western Animation
Hello, I noticed that someone named Thestraighttupac keeps removing content from a fair amount of pages that are associated with the DCAU without providing any reason. He keeps removing information from the DCAU comics and 2017 and 2019 films just because he might think they are non-canon. If I add them back, would that count as an edit war?

Edit War on YMMV.FiremanSam Western Animation
While browsing through the new edits list out of curiosity, I found the following point on YMMV.Fireman Sam:
- Animesque: The character puppet models from first four seasons of the "classic series" have a slight resemblance to the anime-style puppets used in the Rankin/Bass stop-motion Christmas specials (such as Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town) co-produced by the Japanese studio, Topcraft, the style also resembles Osamu Tezuka's characters like Astro Boy, this is especially noticeable in how the faces are designed, the flickery eyes and big noses, Sam's hair cowlick (see the *idiot hair trope for context) just adds to the Animesque look of the classic era, it could be speculated that Rankin/Bass Productions were mentioned in the stop motion animation book that creators Dave Jones and Dave Gingell had bought prior to the series' production, the animesque style is less noticeable in series 5-onward as Hit Entertainment had bought the rights, wanting to update the style to be more like Bob the Builder and Aardman
The point was originally added by Richglitch27. Since Animesque is not a YMMV trope, I moved it
to the main page in a substantially adjusted form, stating as such in the edit summaries. A few minutes later, Richglitch27 added it back in an even shorter form.
