The character names in Kataow are amazing because first, you have Kipo— lovely name, love how it sounds, and I’m it has some amazing meanings that tie in to Kipo as a character. 
Then you have Wolf. You never learn her previous name, but Kipo calls her Wolf (full name: Wolfatha Christie the Fourth) and Wolf accepts it. She never asks people to stop calling her that. It’s a perfect name for Wolf.
You’ve got Benson. I haven’t met many Bensons (usually, just ‘Ben’) but it sounds familiar and nice. Benson is a nice guy. A good friend.
Mandu is a blue four-eyed and six-legged pig, named after the dumplings Kipo’s dad used to make. It’s a little odd but hey, mute pig— and it has sentimental meaning to Kipo— so it fits Mandu perfectly.
You’ve got Kipo’s family Lio (not an uncommon name) and Song (beautiful name) and Hugo— they all fit well with Kipo. 
Hugo later takes the name Scarlemagne— a play on ‘Scar’ and Charlemagne’. That’s so clever! 
There’s also Jamack, Troy, Dr Emilia (sounds like a normal human name, but still cool for an antagonist), and may we not forget Yumyan Hammerpaw. 
And then you have… Dave. Just Dave. Dave the Bug. Dave the metamorphosing bug mute. This is so hilarious, it’s perfect.

I find the fact that Hugo seems to be far more likely to ascribe ulterior motives to Wolf than to Kipo to be incredibly funny.
In 'All That Glitters', while Kipo is definitely doing it all out of love, everything Kipo does is an attempt to guide him towards her ideal outcome. And yet Hugo takes her at her word every time she insists otherwise. This despite her proving herself capable of outmaneuvering him (telegraphing her contingency plan in doing so) with her secret farmer rebellion in Corndog King. She played him like a fiddle in season 2 and yet in season 3 he still seems to be operating under the idea that she's too naive to ever be plotting anything behind anyone's back.
Meanwhile, Wolf is never anything but straight-forward in achieving her goals. She's consistently blunt in her methods and reasoning, yet Hugo is constantly looking for the hidden angle (that just isn't there). In 'Prahmises' he immediately assumes that Wolf tracked him down in order to interfere with his plan to assassinate Dr Emilia and is initially skeptical when she says otherwise.
All this is especially hilarious because Kipo's not even subtle. Like, at all. Like I pointed out earlier: she essentially revealed her back-up plan to Hugo while they played Corndog King and it just sailed past his radar. On the other hand, everyone else has always known that Kipo's kind actions, while genuine, are also part of Kipo's plan to bring about world peace. They just go along with it, usually because they know that trying to talk her out of it won't work. Wolf, Lio, Benson, even Dr Emilia, they all know Kipo's scheming. Hugo's the only one who somehow keeps missing the memo.

"That's not all I want. I want you to have a second chance."
Season 3 Kipo/Hugo hits so different from Season 2

kinda hate the redemption equals death trope actually. why do we feel as though someone must earn their redemption not through commitment and reparations but with some kind of cosmic payment. why must writers throw away characters with problematic pasts instead of showing the hard work of change and growth

have i ever talked about hugo and liam???
how one died to save his sister, and how the other died because of his?
when hugo yells, "LEAVE MY SISTER ALONE!" at emilia in megamute form, did she think of liam at all?
just before he hits her, does she remember, ever so briefly, that she had a brother who would have done anything for her, too?

Thinking about how broken the Oak family was for so many years and how it was gradually mended, even gaining a new member, Wolf, about how stars were their family symbol, as seen by Hugo's blanket and the ceiling mural, and how they also bonded over their common interest, music singing, playing and dancing to it.
An endlessly compassionate jaguar girl, a deeply scarred feral child, an unhinged and reformed mutant mandrill, a flawed yet very loving father and a tortured but kind mother, a once fractured family made whole again by Kipo herself.

KIPO AU KIPO AU WEEWOOWEEWOO
Tumblr image formatting is working for me again. Alright
SOOOO Lt. Kipo, where Hugo stole her as a baby and they grew up as siblings, taking over the surface together. She brings out his compassion earlier on, while he raises her believing that Lio and Song only viewed them as experiments and not as actual children. It strikes me as a Silco and Jinx situation (what is it w me and that dynamic.) except Hugo is genuinely very emotionally wounded and traumatized, and a lot of what he does stems from a (very misguided) desire to protect Kipo from going through what he did.
Kipo is actually very similar to her original self, but more impulsive, a lot more abrasive when it comes to her friendliness, and with sum trust issues. Since she spent her infancy in a much more turbulent environment, her jaguar senses emerged early, and she is low-key in a constant state of fight or flight (why her eyes and ears are always out). She can relax, but her mute features never really completely disappear.
The star on her uniform is from the blanket btw--it becomes a symbol of their bond and their shared belief that they can’t rely on anyone else but each other. Woo 🥳

Scarlemagne/Kipo is a very specific dynamic to me

just finished kipo and the age of the wonderbeasts and here are my thoughts.
spoilers for Kipo and the Age of the Wonderbeasts.
1: fucking fantastic. representation, unyielding optimism, a child friendly explanation of eugenics and genocide because fuck that shit.
2: I love how Dave and Benson’s friendship continued to evolve throughout the show, especially when Benson made a comment about how he wishes he could have the “fun Dave” back and that hurt Dave. but at the end of the episode, Benson says that he wants Dave as a friend no matter who he is. all version of Dave are valuable and loved.
this sort of feels like a metaphor for loving someone with mental illness or nuerodivergence that affects the way they act. you can love someone, not matter how they are.
3. Wolf’s storyline with betrayal means her trusting Kipo and Benson and Dave is so so important. From the first season, she was starting on an arc to trust, forgiveness and by the end, moving on.
She learned to let go of the past when her beloved weapon was shattered and hung up her wolf cloak. Her character arc is gorgeous and i love how her relationship with Kipo grew and changed.
4. I am a strong believer that redemption arcs need to take a long time. But Hugo hit the marks in 10 episodes. Thanks to Kipo’s optimism and trust, Hugo was able to grow and change. in the end, he was a traumatized kid. he wasn’t too much older than Kipo. he wanted to be loved and was betrayed. his quest for power was just a reflection of his pain.
but when he realized he could find power in kindness and compassion, he softened. He was forgiven by those he hurt which is so important. I love that his sacrifice wasn’t a split second decision of heroicness. it wasn’t a darth vader/anakin skywalker thing. he had his redemption arc and made a sacrifice as a way of finally completing it. all he wanted was a family and he was willing to die to keep that family together.
5. I loves how the mutes Kipo and the gang meets in the first season are brought back throughout and how they all unite. I also love the weird quirks of each of them like rock star snakes, motorcycle skunks and lumberjack cats.
6. Kipo’s birthday present to Wolf was actually the greatest. she notices something so tiny and got Wolf something to help. it was beautiful.
7. Kipo’s undying optimism is so important but I also appreciate how in seasons 2 and 3 she got mad and frustrated and scared. she was just a kid and i’m glad that got to be shown.
overall, fantastic show, highly recommended.

You´re telling me the dude who voiced Hugo/Scarlemagne from Kipo and taowb is now voicing Korvo from Solar Opposities? What? How?
I mean, not saying it’s bad, I think I just have to take a liking to it. I loved Hugo, but Korvo new voice, I don’t know... Guess I have to wait and see.
BTW, the new voice actor is Dan Stevens, I guess.
