st barbara Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Re: Kim Possible - Modern Day Pulp Heroine? Are you describing Kim Possible or Buckaroo Banzai? Keith ":)" Curtis Bahh ! Who is this "Buckaroo Banzai" of which you speak ? Nothing but a pale imitation of our Kimmiecup ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnotherSkip Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Re: Kim Possible - Modern Day Pulp Heroine? definitely have THAT backwards. she's a cooler vision of a similar idea. Now then, speaking of hidden pulp adventuresses how about Robin from "How I Met Your Mother"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just slightly different tropes, mainly around costuming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kal'El Wayne Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Re: Kim Possible - Modern Day Pulp Heroine? This also explains why Kim's mom was as capable as Kim, when they went on a mission together! Pulp heroine inheriting incredible skills from their bloodline? Does it get any more pulp? And the fact that even the vile bad guys (Duff Killigan, Shego and Dr. Drakken) have expressed disgust that the heroine lied to her parents, even though they regularly construct death rays. Come to think of it, this explains Kigo. (That is to say, the most popular pairing of any two characters from the show, in the KP fandom, was Kim Possible/Shego. Otherwise known as Kigo.) Because, the Hero in Pulp always hits it off with the femme fatale/evil princess. So just because they are both female, and therefore we know Disney won't let it go anywhere, there still seems like there is a subtext because the idea of Protagonist/Hench-Woman relations is so well ingrained in the pulp style.

In many ways they are each the sister the other always wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kahuna's bro Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Re: Kim Possible - Modern Day Pulp Heroine? I'll split the difference with you' date=' KP is a James Bond level superagent. Shego and her sibs seem to be the only ones in the series with nonfocused metahuman abilities (if you ignore the corssover with Lilo and Stitch).[/quote'] a kim possible-lilo and stich crossover?

Jhamin Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Re: Kim Possible - Modern Day Pulp Heroine? I'm actually the guy that sent them to Susano long ago. They were written up before the series had completed it's initial run so they don't reflect some of the stuff we saw later (like Ron's on again/off again ability with Mystic Monkey Kung-Fu). If I had it to do over again I'd have Ron pay points for Rufus. Maybe I should update...... I always kinda wanted to write up the villains just so I could List Ron as Lord Monkeyfist's hunted. If you really examine the episodes from MonkeyFist's point of view Ron was a much bigger deal than Kim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
