His animation is just divine. Like those arms and how he moves is all so full of personality. As someone else said they really put the whole budget into his animation!
That last shot with Two Brains just slowly, sadly walking back into the darkness of his cell, knowing that things *won’t* ever be different hits much harder than it should…
The Butcher ain't gonna let anybody diss WordGirl, it's her show. But he always did have a good heart. At least, for a maniac who commits meat-themed crimes.
@@levilukeskytrekker Not to seem like I’m defending an evil supervillain, but “maniac” is a bit harsh. He’s basically just a petty thief with meat powers, and he acts like it. He doesn’t usually do anything massive, he just robs banks like a common goon.
@@levilukeskytrekker Two Brains has a good heart too but he can't keep it. Squeaky gives him little options at the end. Its really tragic considering how buried Steven Boxleitner is in there.
I realize that unlike some other villains, TB tends to actually know the featured word or at least its meaning. It sort of explains his annoyance WordGirl's tendency to state it.
I think Two Brains is like the only villain who never needed a word defined. It makes sense, he's really smart. He probably doesn't know every word like Wordgirl does but still far more than the average city citizen.
I do remember like one or two occasions where he did need to have it defined, but the show does seem to have words defined less for smarter people. For example, Dr Two Brains actually even defined a word himsel, having the same jingle play when he did. Tobey, another example, has only ever had a word defined for him once or twice as well. I mean at least, right?
You know how Dr. Two-Brains had some Jekyll and Hyde tendencies but they stopped over time as he became more chill? I like to believe that it's just his two brains just brewing together like a fine wine, becoming more connected.
You compromise with madness long enough, and it becomes sensible. Take it from a functional 28 year old with ADHD. For Doctor Two-Brains, it's cheese. For me it's Caffeine and Melatonin.
There's not really an in-universe explanation so much as a real world explanation. PBS Kids just thought that Two-Brians fluctuating between his two identities would be too scary for kids so they got rid of it. It doesn't really make sense for his two personalities to be at peace with each other when one one is an evil mouse and the other is a kind hearted scientist. The kind hearted scientist suffering was just too dark, so PBS Kids subtlety swept that aspect of Two Brains under the rug and hoped that kid viewership would forget about it.
I always felt sad for Dr. TwoBrains, like, he's only evil because he has an insane mouse brain stuck to his head. He is like, perfect batman villain material.
3:20 I love this exchange between villains. Dr. TwoBrains couldn't care less, but The Butcher really does want to learn and doesn't appreciate Dr. TwoBrains mocking Wordgirl. It's the little things like that that make this show such a masterpiece.
I think they were honestly setting up Dr. Two Brains accepting Tubing's offer and removing the mouse brain allowing Steven Boxleitner to return but they hadn't had time. The show finale was good but there's so many plot that could be used for episodes. At least there's fanfictions.
1:25 hello 1:29 h i 2:31 I love how he backed up- 4:08 ,,hey, Buddy-?" That's kinda cute how he calls the narrator ,,Buddy" 5:57 is wholesome as well (the whole scene-)
4:08 kinda surprised he tried to ask the narrator for help, cuz uh… he's probably the only character who knows from experience that it won't work, y'know, with the lab accident and all
My headcanon is that he simply doesn't remember it that well, and probably doesn't remember that the narrator was (somewhat?) involved in the first place, though that's just my personal headcanon.
I love the slightly romantic chemistry between Dr. Twobrains and Chuck the Evil Sandwich-Making Guy Grilled cheese happens to be a comfort food of mine
Well it would be less cheesy because either A the atoms are stretched apart so it turns into a liquid or B its atoms get bigger so there's less atoms plus Its harder to hide
Listen I will never be the same after that OK KO episode. If somebody threatens to turn a main character into a pile of goop I’m taking that shit seriously.
They wanted to make a kids' show that older viewers could enjoy as well, so they brought on writers from Family Guy and The Onion, etc. to make sure the humour and writing landed with everyone.
Honestly if they just put out more episodes without changing the art style I'd watch it on my deathbed lol This show was legit awesome and I'd LOVE to see it rebooted!
Because I know WAY too much about this show, his TV wasn't always Mouse powered. It broke when he had a heated gamer moment when he slipped to number 2 villain of the week. I also remember him having it fixed more properly later on.
0:45 so... if he has a combo ray that can shrink and enlarge cheese... then why? doesn't he just... buy a little bit of his favorite cheese and... enlarge it? Maybe it only changes the density so cheese enlarged past it's regular size tastes different, but then couldn't he just get literally any material and enlarge that, then sell it to make enough make enough money to buy all the cheese he wants (he's half evil mouse so it's not like he'd care if the product was poor quality)? Or build a replicating ray and do the same for literally any product.
Tbh, he may be smart, but when it comes to some things (like cheese) throughout the show he can be hella impulsive, from what I remember. I'm surprised he can keep a budget at all, lol. Also, plot convenience.
Next time can you put in that one scene where he says something like, "If you need me I'll be eating a building." I've been trying to find that clip but can't
If only things were diffrent hits very hard when you realize word girl knows Steve can never come back and dr two brains will always be what he is now she has given up all hope that he can ever be restored to what he was before it hits even harder now when the show is over and he never did come back
I remember this one scene from episode "Miss Power", where Doctor TB started talking like... Mentor. It felt like for a while real Steven showed up, seeing how corrupted Wordgirl starts to be. Only after Miss Power telling him that he's not the real Villain he switches off Steven and again, turning on Doctor TB. It shows how Steven within TB cares about Wordgirl and van develop strenght to fight back mouse brain and protect her.
