Codename: Kids Next Door/WMG: Difference between revisions

== The whole "war against adult tyranny" thing is just an elaborate game of make-believe. ==

The battle sequences, fights in outer space, and life-or-death situations that we the audience see are just artistic renderings of what the kids are imagining, a technique often employed in shows that make heavy use of fantasy such as ''[[Rugrats]]'' and ''[[Muppet Babies]]''. This would explain why 2x4 Technology can do things real technology can't, such as erase memory or fly to Saturn in less than a few hours. Why haven't Abby and Cree killed each other? Because the guns, the armor, and the prisons aren't real. Teenagers aren't ''really'' decommissioned; their friends just acknowledge that they've reached an age where such make-believe games are seen as immature, and they come up with an interesting explanation for why they have to give them up... except for the "undercover operatives," who don't care what their peers or parents think and want to continue playing. The parents of kids and teens who are sent to "prisons" in the Arctic and on the moon don't wonder where they are because nobody's really in prison; they're just pretending. The same goes for how kids like #362 appear to live on the moon and how cadets appear to stay in Antarctica for training. After all, the kids seem to know there's a limit on what is possible even for them and where to draw the line, as seen in the King Sandy episodes.

'''Number 3''': What are you, nuts? I can't get married for real! I'm, like 10-years-old! }}

* That seems like a very plausible theory. It puts everything into a new light actually.

== Chad is an egomaniacal [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] who either lied about being a [[Fake Defector]] or has deluded himself into believing he is one. ==

Chad was Supreme Leader for less than three years (as seen by the flashback to Three Years Ago in MAURICE when Number 100 was Supreme Leader), but his reputation as the Best operative went to his head and made him believe that the KND owed him for all their success even before he was Supreme Leader. Even when he turned 13, he was so convinced that he was still the only one who could successfully lead the KND, he was willing to destroy the Moonbase to protect his secret. His goal, even when he [[Jumping Off the Slippery Slope|jumped off the slope]] with that scheme, still seemed to be to remain Supreme Leader rather than revenge ("None of you are gonna tell anyone about my birthday!"). His explanation to Number 1 about doing it to stop Cree from doing it later doesn't fly: [[Watchmen|destroying the villain's target before they can destroy it does not count as stopping them!]]

== Number 4 was also a candidate for {{spoiler|the Galactic Kids Next Door.}} ==

In INTERVIEWS, Number 2 explains his knowledge of the {{spoiler|GKND}} and their choosing Number 1 {{spoiler|as their first operative from Earth}} this way:

The scientists in AMISH weren't being kidnapped, but neither were they secretly meeting to watch a ''[[Doctor Who]]'' marathon. Number 2 learned of their connection to the "Splinter Cell" after the end of that episode.
