Yup. Although in the cartoon adaptation, she's portrayed as one of the most competent characters, sometimes more so than Jim (then again it was made in the 1990's).

The 90s were a bad time to be a fictional character. I mean it gave us some of the best franchises to date (including Banjo-Kazooie and Star Control) but most characters were either "edgy," "cool," or anything else that looked like it would appeal to the masses.

Or male characters are complete morons. There have been times where I noticed that Jim's character in the Earthworm Jim cartoon kinda delves into that of Homer Simpson (then again, both characters were played by Dan Casteleneta) and depending on the situation, it can be funny and forgivable, or just frustrating to watch.

Also, with Ren and Stimpy's influence, it led to cartoons of the 90s being near synonymous with grossout humor. And don't get me started on Mega Babies, the worst show in that category.

Well I think Mega Babies is a dead horse by this point, it only had... 52 episodes??? Who was watching this enough it got a second season?

But as I said, it was a bad time for cartoons. I mean no cartoon has its "good period," even though this "Late 2010s" period is reviving Nicktoons it also gave us those two awful reboots by Cartoon Network I won't mention. Even the 2000s, which gave us gems like Invader Zim and the original Teen Titans, also had some horrible ones. But my point was no era of cartoons has its "good period," but the 90s are what I consider one of the darkest eras for cartoons (just behind the 1970s).

It's only practical use is to be played in sex ed classes with "This could happen to you if you don't use protection:" written on the chalkboard.

And to people saying the 90's was the best ever, I have this to say: Take a good, long look in the mirror. The only reason why people compare stuff to the 90s is because of a layer of nostalgia. It's time for that layer to be stripped away. While there were plenty of good gems in there, there was just as much crap riddling the era.

Again, no era of cartoons is perfect.
