The reason is so that you empathize with the kids, for young school children simple algebraic equations seem like einsteinian theoretical physics. If they asked "a^2+b^2=___" then people with even rudimentary math skills would just answer it and wonder why the kids were so stupid instead of feeling cheated by an unjust system

fucking this, if a character has the ability to hold their own in a fight or are contribute to the group, why make them useless/payhetic/weak in everyone other scrnario.

Animators are lazy and often uninterested in education, which is why history and humanities are so dreadfully represented in cartoons.

Don't remember exactly what happened.

But wasn't she competente and useful on a lot of other episodes? This not making her the "seuddenly damsel in distress is badass"? Or it was just with the videogame character?

Where else did this happened?

Really, I think that people on these threads should be obligated to give at least three examples of each thing that they say.

The thing with Edd for example, doenst count because its not mutual.

But they almost always do at the end because it's "funny"
