Xiaolin Showdown/Fridge

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Fridge Brilliance

  • While Jack Spicer of Xiaolin Showdown is considered an Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain, you'll notice that he's surprisingly fast and flexible, and can accomplish things like air somersaults even without the Mantis Flip Coin. Well, in one episode, it's revealed that Jack's mother sent him to figure skating lessons, which is why his body is trained to accomplish all the previous athletic feats. In connection with that, Jack is good at challenges that involve snow and/or ice, most prominently seen in Ring of the Nine Dragons where he was snowboarding quite impressively even before he cheated; this is most likely because the lessons took place in snowy or icy areas where Jack would have learnt the other sports as well.
  • Why is it that when Omi used the Ring of the Nine Dragons, even three clones resulted in them being immensely stupid (to the extent that one couldn't even get past level one of a video game) but when Jack uses it (the second time, for about eight clones) they can still perform normal activities and even comprehend rules and orders? Well, despite acting like an idiot in general Jack still is a genius, and so he has a larger IQ to distribute, resulting in each clone getting an average IQ instead of incredibly low ones like Omi's.
  • Why did Master Dashi seem so unsurprised to see Omi in "Days Past"? Because he already knew Omi from the events of "Time After Time!"
  • Master Monk Guan's nicknaming Raimundo "Bobo." Why? Bear with me for a moment. Rai is from Brazil. The native language there is Portugese. Apparently, in Portugese, bobo means dummy or fool. Nice. Looks like someone did their research.
