The bounty hunters. Six Six, Seven Seven, and Eight Eight.

Oh my god. You’re so right. He really is a pathetic little meow meow.

Even when he was working together with SixSix, he was the one getting pushed down a flight of stairs while SixSix was using bombs.

“I couldn’t get SixSix.”

“Yeah, he can be hard to get a hold of. We can just get EightEight.”

“I called her first, she wouldn’t take the job.”

“Oh. …We’re going to have to hire SevenSeven aren’t we?”

“…Yeah.”

So I just watched this video by Saberspark where they explain something called the Smurfette Principle (Click here to watch it). The Smurfette Principle is basically where any tv show, movie, or cartoon that has mainly male main characters has at least one female character who is mainly there to either be a love interest to one of the main male characters, or just so the studio has an excuse to sell a toy to girls. Now from hearing this I can already think of a couple shows and movies that I grew up watching or are still watching to this day. Marvel’s Ultimate Spider-man, Star Wars, the Smurfs, Season 1 of Young Justice, ect. But one series that I kept thinking of was Ben 10.
