History YMMV / JonnysGoldenQuest

* HilariousInHindsight: Despite the above complaints about Dr Zin's design, it still bears a close resemblance to ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers''' Dr. Z, [[WritingAroundTrademarks who may or may not be him under a different name]].

* CompleteMonster: [[MadScientist Dr. Zin]] is the ArchEnemy of the Quest family, having killed Jonny's mother in ''Golden Quest''. Returning in ''Cyber Insects'' with an army of [[BigCreepyCrawlies genetically modified insects]] to invade Earth, Zin utilizes a [[WeatherControlMachine stealth satellite]] to cause vast parts of the world to freeze or be subjected to horrible storms, causing starvation with potentially millions threatened. A [[BadBoss truly horrible boss]], Zin is also fond of horrifically killing his minions for petty reasons, having one fed to his "mosquitoids" for entirely pragmatic advice and another frozen to death for Dr. Quest's escape despite never being in charge of watching him. Plotting to invade Earth, Zin stops at nothing to ensure his total domination, likening it to "breaking a few eggs" for an omelette.

* FanonDiscontinuity: Similar to the later ''WesternAnimation/JonnyQuestVersusTheCyberInsects'', this film is disliked by some fans. Common complaints include Zin's hideous and deformed appearance (due to his disease) and the claim that Rachel Quest's addition (to say nothing of Jessie) undermines the established relationship of Benton, Jonny, Race and Hadji.
** Although considering it's probable status at being an attempt of a reboot, it in a way already was a "What if" style origin.

* RecycledPremise: Most of the story (dealing with Zin's clones and attempts at turning lead into gold) is original, however the Vincent Devlon subplot is a new take from the "Deadly Junket" episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheNewAdventuresOfJonnyQuest'', just with the twist that Jessie isn't actually the missing scientist's daughter this time.
