I love that Larry went up to Jed and Octavius and was like “now you two play nicely” and immediately they were like “ok” and 50 years of rivalry was over.
Proof they never actually hated each other they just didn’t know how to express they had a crush on each other.
Reasons why Jedtavius is canon but not blatantly expressed
The time of release:
In the first interview which is about the third movie, which came out in 2014 (same-sex marriage was legalized in all 50 states in 2015 btw)
Owen Wilson says,
“There's been a big sort of transition from that antagonism and bickering... flowed into... almost a love, although they'd never admit it.”
In the video you can see Shawn Levy perk up as soon as Owen mentions ‘love’ and is very quick to correct “a brotherly love”
I assume this is because the movie had already been accused of pushing an agenda because of Octavius’ remarks about Lancelot; saying he was “handsome” and had “hypnotic blue eyes”
At the time having a gay character(s) in a kids movie was still considered ‘taboo’ and could lead to some issues causing the film not being able to be shown in certain places.
i haven’t actually drawn jedediah since november / december ! i wanted to revisit my past design for him that i posted a few days ago here . he’s a joy to draw , especially after so long . i just hate drawing cowboy hats .
as for the clone high jedediah.. i’ve been wanting to draw natm in the clone high style for awhile . i just haven’t mastered the style yet ( if my previous post is any consolation ) . i used professor hirsute as a reference cause i think they kinda look alike LOL
