RE: Duck and Lexi???

Black Oracle · Black Hole Survivor

I do personally think Duck and Lexi have an interesting conflictive sibling-type relationship now. Lexi's the one that always seems to get the most outwardly annoyed with Duck's egotism and won't hesitate to put him in line with a brain blast to the butt! Duck regards Lexi as lower than himself (as he does with all the others including Ace!) and hence likes to exert dominance over her where he can, like in making decisions and getting his way in situations. These two seem to interact alot more in the second season, getting on each others' nerves often. Why the writers wanted to portray more Duck/Lexi conflict moments can only be speculated on now.

Thanks guys!

(Sorry, Crossfire. *blush*)

You're right about the feathers only being black, Lumosnight. Supposedly, I've heard that for hunting wild ducks, black ducks are considered to be the tastiest.

Speaking of naughtiness...

I noticed from the show what I felt were some dodgy Danger/Lexi moments:

Stop The World, I Want To Get Off—The antigravity Duck/Lexi tussle. My goodness ... 'nuff said. Massive must be a Danger/Lexi shipper.

The Hunter—Danger's bump to the bottom. Lexi had a smirk on her face as she was seemly looking towards Duck's backside. Also, from the distance Lexi was standing from Danger and from their positioning, she would've had to have slapped him on the bottom for him to have been hit from where he was standing. Even though Lexi didn't do such a thing, the implication is there.

Apocalypso—The part where Danger and Lexi utilized their powers to refuel the ship. I won't dwell on postulated cryptic symbolism (especially since there could be minors reading this *blush*) but there seemed to be an "erotic" overtone.

On a different note, I noticed that in The Comet Cometh. It seems that while the other Loonatics recollected their past in their private thoughts; Danger and Lexi shared their past with one another.

Duck: Not yours.

Aw.

Aaaw I don't think Duck's naughty for being more passionate. Either he's a scorpio or was born on the year of the snake. They are both passionate symbols you know.

Duck:

Are you meant ot be really passionate then? You're both.

Me:

I know. Hee hee!

Duck:

Eerr... Akira... why are you approaching me like that!?

Actually, feathers for a bird are like hair for a human. If you pluck anybird they would have underneath the pale chicken skin....not very attractive.

Remember how Duck looked like when Royal Tweetums used the laser in 'The Heir up there'? Ouch.

But yeah, dark-haired people tend to be more......passionate.

is not that... when I take that screenshot she was moving... one of the eyes have the color of the hair... is because she's moving...

Oh no, I was joking when I said that.

But thanks for the explanation.

I have to say, Danger/Lexi makes a great team.

So, Lexi could help make Ace less of a "Stu".
I agree with you about Ace/Lexi being the sweeter relationship. Ace has far better qualities than Duck. I feel that Ace is more of an honorable person whereas Duck is more of a "bad boy". If Lexi went with Ace I believe she would have to deal with fewer problems than if she chose Duck. A Danger/Lexi relationship would most likely be quite dramatic and very passionate; especially since Duck has a more aggressive personality than Ace.

Of course, that goes back to the idea of what some people want to consider romantic. For some, a sweet, easy-going relationship is their cup of tea; where for some people that would be very boring. For others, their ideal romance would have lots of drama and passion. But there are people who would consider such a relationship dysfunctional.

As far as Ace/Lexi making Ace less of a "Gary Stu", I think it depends on how the relationship is approached by the show's writing staff. If Ace has to struggle to get into a romance with Lexi then I would say that his character will be less of a "Stu". But if Lexi fawns over Ace and she easily becomes his girlfriend then for me, Ace is a "Stu".

On another note, I read a fan's speculation that perhaps the writers are setting up a triangle with Ace/Lexi/Danger. (Personally, I'm guessing that means a Cyclops/Jean Grey/Wolverine type of situation.) I can't say if that's true but it would be in keeping with the show's triangle motif.

For me is better Duck/Lexi, because Ace is little cold and, I don't know why, I have the idea that love is not in his plans... and he doesn't see Lexi like that (many time he treats her like a kid)... mmm... no... I just don't see him with Lexi...

Lexi and Duck are the most childish of the team...

One reason they might want to continue the show after they get together; we could see how they`d handle Ace and Lexi being BF and GF. We could get the opportunity to see Ace blunder several times in his relationship, such as dealing with misunderstood attention towards/from another female, or having to choose between his personal happiness and the good of the team. Overall, though, Lexi would accept him for who he is, kind of like Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable.

Ace: So, yer not mad that I foigot to tell you she was my cousin?

Lexi: Mad? No. But I`m not happy that you keep these secrets either, Ace. *places a hand on Ace`s cheek* If this is going to work, we`ve got to have a little more faith in each other, `kay?

Ace: Gotcha. So, do ya still wanna head to the skatin` ring or somethin`? *rubs neck*

Lexi: *smiles* Sure, let`s go, captain. *takes Ace`s arm*

This reminds me of all those songs that are about seperated couples. XP (Don't Matter by Akon FTW.)

Actually, we do live in a world where DD/Lexi is possible - POSSIBLE, mind you. THe accepted part? Not so much. It's kinda like...racism, I dunno. I remember a song where a child was born of two parents from different ethincities(I spelled it wrong D:). Other children shunned that child because he was a 'half-breed'. I think this might apply in the LU universe - couples of different species would be frowned upon.

...I'm not making sense, am I?

Super Freak · Beast

I agree with Oddity.

Parents, who simply don't like any form of violence, wouldn't let their children watch the show. That's why in America there are TV ratings. (I have no idea if there are TV ratings outside of the US.) Parents have the means to actually block certain programs from being viewed simply by the ratings system,

I think the strange thing with people is that violence is universal in the sense that most people can agree upon how much is too much. Romance isn't so easily agreed upon. There seems to be different ideologies on what is, or isn't acceptable when it comes to romance.

I've come across this discussion before and it seems that the general consensus is that in American culture, violence is more acceptable than sexuality.

For argument sake, if we lived in a world where Danger/Lexi was possible. Do you think it would be accepted? I can't think of too many cartoons where anthros date outside of their species. Would it be considered strange on the show? There don't seem to be a lot of anthros on the show; but if there were anthro couples, most likely it would be same species couples.

And I wonder if the viewing audience would accept such a thing. I can't remember any Merrie Melodies/Looney Tunes couples that were mixed species anthros. (There were a handful of human/anthro couples though.) There's the possibility of Pepe/Penelope but Pepe pursed Penelope because he thought she was a female skunk. I don't know if he would've pursed her if he knew she was a cat from the get-go.

Anyways, a romance could happen on the show. It all depends upon the writing staff and the direction they want to take the show in. If a romance is in the works for the main characters (The Loonatics), it'll be interesting to see if TPTB follow the clichéd formula (Ace/Lexi) or actually surprise us with something different. (Hey, Pinkster turned out to be a bad guy, so the writing staff has proven that they can think out of the box. )

Well... and the violence???

Is better the violence that the love???

I saw a lot of little kids cartoons were two characters love each other... and are programs for 6-11 years old kids!!!!

Why this will be different???

Others WB cartoons for little kids have romance... is not like they will have sex or something like that!!! I hope one day we can see a little of romance between our characters (I hope Slam felt in love of a cute girl... or that Lexi and Duck felt in love... etc...)

Hi, I've been lurking here for awhile; learned about the place from mentions at the LU TV.com forums. This seems to be a nice forum for discussing all things LU, so I'd thought I'd join.

Anyways....

The Danger/Lexi pairing, I don't see happening on the show for a number of reasons:

[American] children's action adventure series tend not to deal with romantic issues. So most likely, no romance for any of the Loonatics.
Token characters have a tendency not to be involved in romance. Lexi being the sole female member of the Loonatics makes her the "token" female of the group. Also, I think for token female characters there seems to be a mindset among some that having them involved with a male member on the team dilutes the female character's feminist representation. I think it's because some might then perceive the female character as nothing more that a trophy girlfriend as opposed to being valued as "one of the guys". Most likely, that means Lexi will stay solo for the run of the series.
If the token female happens to be linked to one of the males of the team, she's usually linked to the alpha of the group. The romance helps to preserve the alpha's place in the pecking order, even if it's at the expense of the token female. So if a romance were to blossom among teammates, Lexi would most likely be paired with Ace because he's the alpha of the group.
There tends to be "specist" mentality for anthropomorphic characters: dogs with dogs, cats with cats, bunnies with bunnies, ducks with ducks and so on. Characters tend to only go outside their respective species for romantic liaisons when it's played for comedic purposes by highlighting the absurdity of the relationship. Since there are two bunnies on the team, with one male and the other female, an Ace/Lexi romance has the cards stacked in its favor.
Danger is more "donkey" than duck. In order for him, to be with Lexi [or anyone else for that matter] there will be times when he would have to be able to put his gigantic ego aside for at least few moments and think about her needs. So far it doesn't seem that Danger is capable of that.

Personally, I enjoy watching the friendship between Danger and Lexi. If the series were to continue, I hope that Lexi could get some of her compassion to eventually rub off on Danger. He could sure use it.

*high-fives oddity and Anna* No offense to any Duck/Lexi shippers; I still respect your views. But, I cannot deny my total coalescence of opinion with my fellow Ace/Lexi shippers.

-- Edited by Crossfire at 23:26, 2007-03-09

the_oddity · O HAI THAR

The anti-Duck/Lexi shipper in me (aka, the Ace/Lexi shipper) is pleased. XD

Anna · Anthros

Okay, I looked over this thread a few times, and decided I needed to think it over before I present my take on this. Here goes.

The precieved possibility of Duck/Lexi has probably been around since early in the first season. I have to admit something: I wasn't always an Ace/Lexi fan, or even an Ace/Duck fan. (Whoops! Did I say that last part?) The show was still relatively young, and a whole lot of stuff hadn't happened yet. Duck/Lexi, to me, had possibilities. But of course, that changed over time.

It's not that I absolutely loath the idea of Duck and Lexi being together; it's just that I can't hate something if I can't even SEE it there. I'm not even remotely convinced anymore there's a possibility for them.

I'm going to take a good look at It came From Outer Space (cited as maybe the greatest source of anti-Duck/Lexi.)

1)Lexi is negotiating with Melvin, and Duck shoves her aside to razz on him. Do YOU want a guy who shoves you when you're having an important conversation?

2) The idea of trading up Lexi is presented.   Confronted with the possibility of never seeing her again, Duck talks about the good things Lexi could find while away, such as seeing the universe and playing checkers with another man.

3) Duck's response to Lexi comparing herself to Helen of Troy: "Pu-lease; this isn't about your beauty but about your ballistic bunny blast. But I do agree you deserve the blame."

But he does have her feelings in mind. Really.

4) (Comfort, Duck-style.) "I know you're feeling bad, Lexi. Blaming yourself for this whole mess you caused, but you really shouldn't."
Lexi smiles. "Aw, thanks."
He continues. "Why is that throughout history so many have to suffer for the acts of a few...in this case, just one."
    Hearing his tone of voice in that scene just makes it better.

5) (When Duck and Ace are walking through a hallway in Melvin's ship.) "We'll never find Lexi. I say we cut our losses and go home. We can divide up her stuff and call it a day. There's a sequin jacket I've had my eye on-"
Ace interrupts, REALLY annoyed. "Duck?"
"What? You can have first pick!"

For God sakes, he likes her CLOTHES better than her! That's just cold!

6) "What! You're leaving the fate of our planet in the hands of some joy-stick juggler?!"

Sure, he said later he had faith all along. But come on.

These things not only indicate lack of romantic interest in Lexi on Duck's part. To me, they come together saying he doesn't even care for her that much.

Thoughts anyone?

Actually, those kisses came from some girl inside that club area (we hear her call out just as the boys are about to leave, and Duck looks mortified to see her off-screen, obviously one of those female fans he doesn`t want

)

Tyranee · Martian

I still think those two can be together...

is strange, I saw the last chapter and Duck seem jealous that Tech have Zadavia attention... and how he ask if she has a boyfriend... but that because he want to be her favorite.

And we can see he is famous with the girls (Like Duck Dodgers)... when I saw his face with all those kisses... and Lexi wasn't there... coincidence??? I don't think so...

Is true they fight a lot... but here we say more two people fight, more they love... so maybe they fight, but after all that they still are good friends and are almost always together... n_n
