Hey there! Remember those childhood cartoons we used to love watching on Saturday mornings, not knowing the true meaning behind them? Yes. Those ones, where the innuendos literally flew by. Now, it's all about conspiracy theories. I know, you're already heard of these, but I can't help but wonder if they're true or not. Let's dig deeper into a couple of these conspiracy theories, namely "Ed, Edd n Eddy" and "Courage the Cowardly Dog."
Now, who doesn't love Ed, Edd n Eddy? I mean come on! It was an awesome show. I stumbled upon this one during shenanigans with friends. Apparently, the place that the kids are living in is Purgatory and the background stories behind each character is pretty dark. The episode where they visited Eddy's brother was pulled off the air due to his death caused by severe bullying by no less than Eddy himself.
The next few to die included Rolf, who was trampled to death by his bull and now takes care of his farm animals and duties in the afterlife; Johnny died of tuberculosis and took his buddy Plank with him; Eddy drowned in the river, trying to run away from a group of vengeful children who were mad at falling for his tricks; Ed died from a car accident; Nazz was raped and killed; Edd died due to an explosion he caused from his experiments; Kevin was beaten to death by his abusive father; and Jimmy died from leukemia. The Kanker sisters, however, are the Devil's daughter, sent from Hell to torture the lost souls; consider this: they have the ability to show up pretty much anywhere; and their constant attraction to Ed, could be the fact that he has the weakest will out of everyone.
Pretty dark, huh? It's weird at the same time. I have to question the ages of all the kids: Why are the children older than Jimmy? Is the timeline constant, if they grew up together? I mean, they all died at different times, living separate lives. Also, after visiting Eddy's brother, did they actually go to Hell or ended up peeking into one of the Circles?
"We interrupt this program to bring you...Courage the Cowardly Dog! The show, starring Courage, the Cowardly Dog! Abandoned as a pup, he was found by Muriel, who lives in the middle of nowhere with her husband, Eustace Bagge." Who could ever forget that intro? But then, how is Nowhere an actual place? It's a barren wasteland; nothing grows!
Well, it turns out that Courage is actually Cerberus, or Hound of Hades, who guards the Gates of the Underworld. It's contradictory since Courage is a scared dog with one goal in his life: to do whatever he can to protect his masters from the weekly monsters that appear. So if Courage is supposed to represent Cerberus, what about everyone else? Nowhere is pretty much the Underworld; the house itself is technically the gates. Muriel represents Mankind, which Courage does his best to protect from the shenanigans. There are even a few representations of the Seven Deadly Sins: Le Quak is Greed; Naughty Fred is Murder; Katz is Hate. Eustace, himself, is Hades, who's always trying to get his way.
I honestly would never have thought that my childhood would be ruined this way. As kids, it's just all fun and games until something like this pops up and causes you to reevaluate your life. Seriously, we were messed up children! Whether it's true or not is up to you. I personally, would never have thought these childhood shows to turn out this way. Now, there's just awesome memories on top of conspiracy truths. Life is great!
