WMG / El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera

Go To

The series takes place in the same universe as The Book of Life
Not only do these two works share the same creator, have similar designs and settings, but the main characters even appear as cameos in a crowd shot during the 2D animated prologue.
  • Very much confirmed. In fact there are a few familiar ties connecting some of the characters of both shows, and apparently Manny and Frida met the main trio when they were kids via time machine (hence why they appeared for a split second during the 2D crowd scene).
La Muerte and Xibalba have made a wager on whether Manny will become a hero or a villain.
This would be no surprise given how much they love bets, with her betting on hero and him betting on villain. Alternative is that they could have made a bet or two on Manny’s individual decisions.
  • Even better if their siblings El Chamucho and La Noche, also confirmed to love making bets and gambling, joined in. In all honesty with how much of a Heel–Face Revolving Door he is Manny could easily become their personal casino.

Frida has ADHD.
Hyperactive? Check. Struggles in school? Check. Forgetful of things? Check. She is either undiagnosed or doesn't take medication.

Manny's hands (or at least one of them) are actually prosthetics.
Manny casually mentions that he has a spare hand at home after he was forced to cut one off, which is odd unless this happened before or he is just that Crazy-Prepared. Given Manny's track record with danger and getting hurt in general, him losing a limb or two is really not that far fetch of an idea (though jarring, given his young age).

Similar to Davi, Manny has another big fan...
Who looks up to Manny as a supervillain. Davi seems to only regard Manny as a hero and, in truth, Manny has been shown to do more good than evil throughout the series. But Manny is still a Wild Card who is prone to villainous actions, and perhaps a young, aspiring villain took notice. Bonus if they too want to become Manny's henchman, and double bonus if they want to try and help turn Manny permanently to the side of evil.
  • Maybe Davi has an evil twin, and considering how often twins pop up in the Mexopolis universe...

the woman that Puma Loco run off with and leaving Sartana heartbroken is…
…Not only the wife of Puma Loco, Mother of Rodolfo and grandmother of Manny but is actually one of La Muerte and Xibalba’s children who disguised herself as a mortal and the sister that Sartana done very horrible to which lead to her banishment. After Rodolfo’s birth, Sartana find out Puma Loco’s wife is actually her sister and this made her furious. She confronted her sister and possibly end up killing her(and widowing Puma Loco). It will explain why Manny’s grandmother never appeared in the show and make Sartana’s backstory a lot more sadder.
  • Because Puma Loco’s wife is the one of La Muerte and Xibalba’s children, this make Rodolfo half god and Manny part god.

The Rivera Ancestors dated and broke up with Zoe’s Ancestors
Well, Manny, Rodolfo, and Puma Loco couldn’t be the only ones that have dated and broke up with the Aves (Zoe, Voltura, and Lady Gobbler), the Rivera Ancestors May have also dated The Aves’ Ancestors.
