Defenders of the Earth/YMMV


 * Angst What Angst: Rick fails to save his mother, and she is executed right before his eyes. Five minutes later he's perfectly fine, and laughing at Zuffy's antics. Then he learns that her memories and personality were imprinted on a crystal. He cheerfully decides to use her as a CPU. Flash is perfectly cool with this as well.
 * Anvilicious: in a few episodes, the kids ended up realizing how drugs and alcohol are really, really, really bad things.
 * Complete Monster Prince Kro-tan, Ming's son. Although Ming probably qualifies too.
 * Ethnic Scrappy: Mandrake the Magician had an adopted Asian son named Kshin. Fans were not pleased.
 * The Scrappy: Zuffy.
 * Uncanny Valley: Kala in "Flesh and Blood".
