"OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes" News & Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

[JTOONSAnimation]

That's why I said "I THINK"! I don't know for sure but I do recall reading something about Samurai Jack not being able to make a larger reference in "Crossover Nexus" due to some kind of legal thing between CN and AS.

I know it was simply an observation, I was just saying it's weird that CN and AS would have legal troubles with each other.

I wouldn't say "LEGAL TROUBLES" but rather a COPYRIGHT thing I think!

 

[Corwin Haught]

It might be an internal thing involving any of AS' suitabilty for CN hours or their semiautonomous management. There may be a problem with the one WB executive who oversees HB stuff as well (Pre-reorg WB-produced Space Ghost material tends to bash SGC2C).

Looks like it was Cartoon Network's choice to end the show.

Wow, for some reason I wasn’t expecting him to openly blame the network for the show ending.

Networks cancel shows all the time, and their creators are generally allowed to say as such on social media.

Okay, I found the tweet about Ian explaining the Space Ghost idea they had:

And from what he said he either meant Adult Swim OR Cartoon Network would NEVER let them do it!

Probably doesn't help his opinion towards the network that this come after they spent years dithering over making the show.

The low ratings probably gave CN the good excuse to end it.

There are new episodes on the app on August 16.

Reminder: another issue involving a SGC2C crossover is the (apparent, at least) retirement of George Lowe as the voice of Space Ghost (I read that that was one reason SG laid out on the 2012 version of Cartoon Planet). Even if Adult Swim had no qualms, and Clay Martin Croker hadn’t died, what if Lowe wasn’t up for this planned episode? If the death of Croker was enough to take the wind out of their sails, then wouldn’t the inability to get Lowe have a similar effect?

BTW, my signature* seems apt for the situation here, even though I put it up back in April (more of a spur of the moment thing, pretty sure I wasn’t thinking of this show).

*Assuming it can still be seen, that is. Not sure if that’s the case anymore.

The fact this season was so dang short compared to the other two is honestly making me think CN really didn't want to keep this show around when it came time for renewal, and thus they ordered just enough episodes for the crew to wrap things up.

I don't know whether to feel good or bad about that.

I'm just thankful they're given a chance to wrap things up on their own terms, honestly.

 

[JTOONSAnimation]

That's one thing that makes CN great these days. Even if they cancel a show, they'll still let crew know so they can end the show properly. *cough* Nickelodeon.

Nowadays, if you're with Nickelodeon you're lucky if your show doesn't get delayed by two years.

Not really "Nowadays" when theyve been doing it since Chalkzone

No kidding ,Perhaps that the show has low viewership that they renew the show for a final season to wrap things up.

Also I have a theory for the upcoming last two episodes


Since there are only two episodes left for OK KO ,I think I am going to give my theory on what the Last two episodes are about,

The first one which will likely be a half hour special because remember the last scene at the end of "Dendy's Video Channel"?:




Well I think it hints that the episode involves a fighting tournament story as a homage/parody to Shonen manga tournament arc cliches that started with dragonball as it involves a tournament between Lakewood plaza and Boxmore who is now under the leadership of Shadowy Venomous a fusion of Professor venomous and his shadowy figure personality (similar to PKO) as the tournament involves a battle on who wins and owns the losers company along with the world and it is also hosted by Dynamite Watkins since she is a celebrity reporter and likes to spice things up with her commentary.



The rest of the tournament episode has the people of Lakewood plaza battle against Shadowy Venomous and TKO since they are the only ones in Boxmore and are powerful that they easily beat them out including the boxmore's robots ,Meanwhile KO's allies who are benchwarmers are worried as they need to find a way to bring KO back despite that he is still trapped in the subconscious mind while Fink (Venomous's minion and likely adopted daughter) was okay with Shadowy Venomous but wants the old Professor Venomous back as he is like a father figure to her and less evil.



In the next scene as TKO keeps fighting against his 'former' allies Enid and Rad in a tournament round,KO who is still trapped in his subconsciousness still feels weak and fully emotion like what happens in the episode 'Carl' and that he can't defeat his darker personality TKO from within especially when he feels helpless while watching his friends Enid and Rad get beaten up by TKO but then when he remembered all the heroes he encountered especially the life lessons he learned from his experience throughout the series including his pow cards, KO regains his confidence , frees himself from the subconscious and has a final showdown with TKO which is now a battle between mind,body and soul ,Then KO defeats TKO using a parody of Kamehameha that is empowered by the good memories he spent time with his family and friends and vaporizes him from existence causing KO to regain control of his body back and apologies to his friends and family which they already forgive him this is when KO's pow card level up and gave him a final form which is parody of super saiyan (maybe I could call him 'pure form')

And then the final battle or in this case the second half of the episode begins when KO in his super form battles against Shadowy Venomous ,But instead of killing him like he did with TKO he instead only attack the other part of Shadowy venomous by using a super technique (a parody of the energrybending from nickelodeons avatar's series finale Sozin's comet) and takes out the shadowy figure personality within shadowy venomous reducing him to just Professor venomous ,At first Venomous was shocked that he is once again powerless like before but then understands the error of his ways on what he has done especially from his shadowy figure personality and ask to be forgiven by his son Ko and everyone which he and everyone already did,



Venomous also gets a hug from Fink who is happy to see the old venomous back and the end of the episode has the 'Status Quo Is God' moment when the tournament ends with a draw without a winner which no one owns each other especially when Venomous gave Boxmore company back to Boxman (after getting group therapy by Jethro's and gain inner peace as hinted from the end credits from "Dendy's Video Channel) while spending time with his likely adoptive daughter Fink and probably do marketing weapons to nefarious villains as usual. And with Boxman regaining control of his company,His robot children are once again coming back to boxmore and happy to be reunited with their 'dad' and the half hour special ends with the heroes happily carrying KO and haul him into the air as they are glad that he is back.



Then the next episode will be a regular episode and a usual 11 minute format but it is considered a series finale when it has a 'end of the series awareness' moment and a callback to the fourth wall breaking episode 'Your World is an Illusion ' which also reflects on cartoon network's decision to cancel the show due to low viewership .The episode starts out as a regular episode as usual but KO felt that something isn't right as every conflict and loose ends are resolved and that nothing exciting happens and things are changing especially that his mother Carol decides to marry Gar making him as his step dad then KO realize that the show and his world is about to end.

This made KO go through various Stages of Grief such as denial, anger and bargaining as he tries to prevent the show and his world from ending such as various tropes which are considered jumping the shark but to no avail .This cause Ko to receive another stage of Grief called depression (which on the bright side he didn't turn into TKO since he vaporized him from existence from the previous episode ) as he wasn't prepared for the show and the world to end but with the wisdom of the words from Holo-Jane from 'Your World is an Illusion' who comes back for the episode to cheer him up and a likely appearance of the cartoon version of his creator Ian Jones-Quartey,KO then receives the final stage of grief ,Acceptance as he accepts that his show and his world might end and will comeback through reruns and a reboot few years later except he won't remember everything that happened after the show ends but viewers will always remember him and his friends adventures throughout the series.

Then the series finale ends full circle for the series as Ko and his friends have a face to face showdown with Boxmore and his minions as this scene turns in to an opening sequence with poses and stuff and ends with the last shot of KO at the end of the opening sequence


and the end credits for the series finale will have a special credits where every characters of the series in cutout forms outside wave goodbye to the viewers with a special song which will likely be melodious but heartwarming version of the end song

and thats my theory on the last two episodes of OK KO What do you think?

Aren’t there some episodes of old Nicktoons that to this day never aired on US tv?

So, the final episodes are airing Friday September 6th, in the form of a 22-minute special titled "Let's Fight to the End" and an 11-minute finale very appropriately titled "Thank You For Watching the Show".

I can't think of anything more apt.

 

[Elijah Abrams]

Here's the promo for the 1-hour series finale, which is being advertised as a special rather than a finale.

 

[zoombie]

The finale is on the ap?
