This is a thread where we question and over analyze the plots of little kid TV shows

Disclaimer***
These are children’s TV shows, obviously there’s no reason for them to have rocksolid plots and crystal clear story lines, this thread is for fun don’t take it too seriously.

I’ll start with my sons new favorite TV show “Super Wings“


Our main character Jet is a talking airplane with the ability to transform into a walking robot. He has the capability to takeoff and land at full speed, and has no problem finding nomadic people in deserts, a single person in a jungle, or seemingly anyone else anywhere in the world. He lives on some kind of private airport island with other similar planes and claims to be the fastest plane in the world.

Despite his incredible talents, his job seems to be to deliver small, inexpensive, usually culturally significant objects, exclusively to little children all over the world. He also sticks around after his deliveries, spending the rest of the day helping them on whatever adventure they want, and usually calling in one or more of his friends to help out.

This got me thinking about what an incredible waste of resources this is, each one of these deliveries has to cost whoever owns him millions of dollars, and I imagine he was insanely expensive to build and the upkeep has got to be astronomical too. There is no way that is a profitable enterprise. The only theory I have that makes any sense is that he must be part of some kind of secret project. Whoever owns him is using him to deliver stuff to kids so that they can test out his ability to locate and identify precise targets with speed. There is no doubt in my mind that some kind of Lex Luthor person is going to one day use Jet and his super wing friends to wage war on the world.

I figure it’s the supposedly “goofball” air traffic controller Jimbo
The Super Wings seem to go and do whatever he tells them, he’s playing a part now so that he can dominate the world later
