[edit] Evil Plots
I really think this section is a waste of space especially in Drakken's case, since you'd be summarizing over half the series. Erased Paper 02:11, 27 February 2006 (UTC) I must agree. the whole section should be prefaced "spoiler" Osprey 00:06, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Personality error?
In the Personality section, it states at the end of the first paragraph "He also will also never stop to kidnap Sam to find her home planet's weaknesses."
Maybe it was an episode I missed, but what the heck is this referring to? It sounds as if this is a description of some other character from another show that was put in for no reason. Anyone know? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lord Seth (talk • contribs) 16:34, 19 March 2007 (UTC).
- No, it's correct, it was from a half length episode (The other half of the episode was a clip show about Rufus) that was supposed to be screened prior to the last presidential election, but was canned when conservative networks refused to screen it and two Disney execs threatened to quit if it was screened. The plot was Drakken running for president on a platform of world domination, but failing when it was revealed that he born in Canada, making the voters hate him (Drakken's mother was touring Niagara falls when she was pregnant, and needed the rest room, but the closest one was on the Canadian side, she went into labor on the way out and gave birth in a Canadian hospital because the Canadian ambulance she was in couldn't leave Canadian territory).
- Sam was a reference to Uncle Sam and her "home planet" was a reference to a Republican government supposedly dismantling democracy in the US. The episode was screened in France and Germany on election night and is reportedly the most popular KP episode in Europe and Australia after "Emotion sickness". It was baned in Indonesia because it insulted their flag as a running joke (Drakken's first diaper, Ron sneezing on one, Mr. Barken having it on his boxers, Bonnie mistaking it for the Canadian flag).
- Of course, if you believe this.......

[edit] Original design?
What's the difference between the picture of Drakken as "original design" and the one in the infobox? WAVY 10 01:44, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Would he care???????
Would Drakken care if something very bad happened to Shego???
[edit] Feelings
It seems we've had a bit of an edit war going on over whether or not it's relevant to include in the article that Drakken and Shego are a "couple." I don't believe that such statements should be included for several reasons:
1) The statements are intended to push a particular point of view, which is by definition original research.
2) The validity of such statements is dependent on the way one interprets the episodes, which is again original research.
3) Such claims add nothing of value to the section. It's only implied on the show, and even though the creators have confirmed that D and S are dating, from what I saw it was only to appease fans of the couple and get them off their backs about it. If it were anything more than that they would have confirmed it in the show itself.
4) All the instances that I came across were unsourced. I would not have bothered deleting them if they were. Still, we must be careful to let the facts speak for themselves. Just because Steve said D and S were a "dysfunctional couple" does not mean that they're dating; it implies it. Drawing conclusions from an implication is original research.
(I'm aware that somewhere in the finale chat it is explicitly stated by one of the creators that D and S are dating. However, I still don't see how it's relevant to the article)
The only reason I can see anyone wanting to include that information in the article is because they ship D/S and want it to be more widespread. Well guess what? That's original research, and is not allowed. Stick to the facts, people.
That is all. Beeftony (talk) 09:30, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
