Inspector Gadget/WMG: Difference between revisions

Line 53:

It may be that Quimby got sick of his incompetent subordinate and created M.A.D. for the ''sole purpose'' of killing Gadget, inspired by [[The Pink Panther|Inspector Clouseau's]] boss. It may be that Quimby has multiple personalities.

* Alternately, see ''MAD is a front operation,'' below.

** Not really a [[Paper Thin Disguise|WMG]]. At the end of the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVrpMJCjuM0 closing credits], Quimby/Klaw ''walks right up to Gadget'' and tell him, [[Refuge in Audacity|to his face]], that he’ll get him "next time."

** When Penny and Brain walks up he's giving them a shifty look.

*** However, there's an episode where we see Dr. Claw holing Quimby hostage with both of them talking to each other.

This would clear up so many strange things: his name, his lack of background, and his constant misunderstandings of how the world works.

Either he was a [[No Plans No Prototype No Backup|once-in-a-lifetime]] achievement of technology, or Penny (who obviously built him) had her funding cut after the sources were unimpressed with Gadget's AI. (You can't blame them.) Nevertheless, they work with what they've got. With Penny's supervision, Brain's assistance, and Gadget's own sheer dumb luck, he works fairly well.

The Gadgetinis are an improvement on the technology, with less equipment but ''much'' better AI.

Line 106:

And Brain? As mentioned above, he is either genetically engineered or trained to be the perfect assistant to a member of this agency.

Penny and Brain are in no actual danger. "MAD" is either a whole cloth fiction of this agency, or a bumbling crime syndicate led by an insane Bond Villain obsessed "mastermind" who's useful as a training tool but poses no real danger. If Penny ever gets in real trouble, then notice how Gadget suddenly becomes hypercompetent, [[Crouching Moron Hidden Badass|quickly extracting her with barely a word]] before going back to bumbling wackiness.
