I think my favorite thing about Kim Possible is how weirdly mundane it is, for being an action show. Like most other teen superhero shows are very dramatic with huge stakes, but Kim didn’t even have any powers. She was just an exceptionally good cheerleader, she didn’t even have a secret identity. The villain wasn’t even some big baddie with a tragic backstory and weird powers, he was just some crazy middle aged dude with a grumpy assistant that like just happened to live in the same town as Kim.

They ate fast food in like every episode. What even was Kim Possible.

Don’t forget that:

  • Both her parents bent the dumb and unknowing parent tropes by both being geniuses and fully aware of their daughter’s superhero activities
  • The show also balanced funny and non-serious villains with regular actual big threat villains
  • Character development actually stuck past one shot episodes
  • Both Ron and Kim had relatable teen issues and they didn’t just give them to Kim, like Ron’s entire episode about toxic masculinity and male body image
  • The relatable and healthy family dynamics both Ron and Kim had with their families
  • Teacher’s who didn’t excuse Kim for her superhero extracurricular activities and forcing her to go through detention or pay library fines or take tests even when she just saved the world
  • The global spread of their adventures beyond being strictly in the USA and the respectful way Kim adapted to every culture she went to
  • The respectful way Kim met dignitaries and those giving her lifts everywhere
  • The vast allies Kim gains through the series through just her attitude and kindness alone
  • Their sidekick animal was a FREAKING MOLE RAT
  • Drakkon and Shego’s relationship was villain goals and I firmly believed set up Agent P and Doof’s relationship dynamic in Phineas and Ferb
  • How incredibly wholesome and inspiring he show was and how it was the animated Buffy the Vampire Slayer of our time
  • How Kim didn’t sacrifice traditional feminine behavior or interests or her kindness and compassion to be more macho or tough
  • Ron and Kim were our first shipping experience and than became relationship goals

Kim Possible is an iconic piece of 90’s television that has literally shaped an entire generation and if you don’t believe agree with me I feel so sorry for you
