![]() The next day at school, kimmy excitedly tells Newton that she passed and is back on the cheer squad. Newton's attempt at a quick peck is rebuffed, and Kimmy proceeds to deliver a passionate kiss, one so stunning that Newton apparently short-circuits, his holoprojector going offline for a moment, revealing his robot self.Īs Kimmy walks home, lost in her Ipod and the bliss of the evening, the Titan destroys the monster. Managing to convince Kimmy to leave, she agrees on one condition: that Newton kiss her. Newton vehemently denies that Kimmy is his girlfriend, but looks uncertain. As Newton adapts their armor to not be affected by the monster, the pair tease him about what he and kimmy were doing. The pair pull Newton into the kitchen and explain what is happening. But just as she moves in to kiss him, Lance and Ilana burst in.and are very confused as to just what was happening. Kimmy suddenly finds herself very attracted to Newton, much to the latter's confusion and distress. Now more determined, Kimmy manages to redo the test on her own, and actually succeed. Kimmy seems to regain confidence, telling him no one has talked to her like that before. As she starts to cry, Newton takes sympathy on her, and tells her that she can be whatever she wants to be: her brain is as large as any other human's, and she can have both smarts AND good looks. Meanwhile, Lance and Ilana's fun at a dance club is interrupted by another Mutraddi, one who has the ability to disable any electronic devices in a certain range.Including the pair's Armor! Helpless as the other humans, the pair flee with the crowds and manage to escape the attack in Lance's car.īack at the house, Kimy has given up hope: she pours her heart out to Newton, revealing that she believes she has to be a 'ditzy airhead' because of her beauty, and that her popularity, so important to her sense of self-worth, is based on her looks, not on her brains. After a few half-hearted attempts to do it herself, Kimmy tries a variety of tricks and schemes to force Newton to do the work for her, even going so far as to perform a sensual dance routine (the infamous "Booty Quake") to no avail. Once Ilana manages to drag Lance away from the subject of the Mutraddi, they actually start ot have fun.īack at the house, Kimmy at first repeats her expectation that Newton will just do the work for her, to which he again refuses. Exhasperatedly, Kimmy explains that Newton is helping her with her test, which causes Lance and Ilana to storm out of the house, leaving Newton to deal with Kimmy alone, much to the Robot's terror.Īs Newton settles down to try and help Kimmy, Lance and Ilana decide to drive downtown to a place called the Promenade, an area of shops, clubs and restaurants that other kids at school have talked about. When she arrives at the House the Galalunians are living in, Ilana is briefly stunned to see the Cheerleader who tormented and belittled her so vehemently on her doorstep, and she and Lance are confused as to why she is there. He refuses, despite her anger and mention of his ruining of her Cheerleading uniform by accidentally spilling coffee on her, and finally agrees to help her redo it. Kimmy asks Newton if he can just do the work for her and she can turn it in as her own. At first, the two meet in a very awkward manner. ![]() But the only way she can pass is to get tutored by Newton. Kimmy, the cheer squad captain, is in jeopardy of getting kicked off the team unless she gets a passing grade on a math exam. ![]() Meanwhile, Lance and Ilana encounter a manta-like Mutraddi creature that absorbs electrical energy, causing their armor activators/communicators to shut down. Here’s a link to the online petition.When Kimmy the cheerleader comes over to study, she becomes romantically infatuated with Octus' human student disguise. There’s a possibility that Sym-Bionic Titan could be revived as a Netflix original. I hope that new cartoon creators and distributors will look at Sym-Bionic Titan and take steps to push the boundaries of what’s possible. I’m thankful that we are entering the “Streaming Renaissance,” so a cartoon will be judged by its quality as opposed to its toy sales. I’m glad that Sym-Bionic Titan can reach a new audience on an accessible platform. His journey of discovering his own humanity is the most satisfying emotional arc of the series, perfectly articulated in the episode, “I am Octus.” The real breakout character of Sym-Bionic Titan is the robot Octus. The dynamic between Lance and Ilana is like a prototype for the relationship between Jack and Ashi in Samurai Jack Season 5. ![]() The characters are more complex than those in the first four seasons of Samurai Jack. Lance’s sword fight in “Escape from Galaluna” is the stuff of legend. The action is well choreographed and pushes the envelope of what can be shown in a cartoon. Granted, the show is not without its flaws, but what Sym-Bionic Titan does well makes up for its shortcomings.
