Line 178:
** The aliens didn't care, but the humans sure did. In fact, the entire movie is based around finding a device that can rebuild Earth.
* In the ''[[Battletoads (animation)|Battletoads]]'' cartoon, Professor T. Bird explains that Earth is "so backward and insignificant that the Dark Queen never dared to conquer it."
* In ''[[Atomic Betty]]'', even the heroine's superior officers and colleagues regard Earth this way, describing it as a "nondescript, who-cares place" and that most humans are hopelessly dumb and inept. Most aliens aren't even aware it exists, including Maximus, which makes his goal of identifying, finding, and destroying Betty's homeworld quite difficult. In one episode, he almost destroys it by accident, picking a random planet to test a [[Doomsday Device]] on; Betty barely manages to avoid giving it away trying to avoid screaming. When he finally does learn Betty's home planet is Earth, it doesn't take much effort to [[Cassandra Truth| quickly convince him otherwise]], with the characters hammering home how such a backwater location couldn't possibly be the home of one of the galaxy's greatest heroes. Earth's status as this is also why Galactic Guardian HQ is moved there that same season after the original location is destroyed, as no one would expect such an important organization to operate there.
