YMMV / Dynomutt, Dog Wonder

Go To

  • Alternative Character Interpretation: Is Blue Falcon sticking with Dynomutt because he [Dynomutt] is a true friend, or because his comical idiocy makes him [Blue Falcon] look better? His line, "It's a goofy idiot sidekick that makes a superhero super," from the guest appearance on Dexter's Laboratory doesn't exactly inspire loyalty.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: Of Hanna-Barbera cartoons, oddly enough. Blue Falcon and Dynomutt have appeared in multiple series since their original run ended, including Scooby-Doo! Mask of the Blue Falcon, Dexter's Laboratory, and Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, despite not being one of the hottest brands of Hanna-Barbera productions, unlike Yogi Bear or Scooby-Doo. They are even major characters in SCOOB!!
  • Heartwarming Moments:
    • In "Factory Recall", Dynomutt walks into Mr. Cool's trap (thinking it's a repair due to a factory recall), happily thinking about how proud Blue Falcon will be when he comes back completely perfect.
    • In the Dexter's Lab crossover, Dexter builds a new Dynomutt and passes it off as an upgrade of the original, dumping the original in the lab. When the new robot goes on a rampage and the truth comes out, Blue Falcon is outraged at his friend being replaced.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight:
    • Compare Mr. Cool's Sadistic Choice between Blue Falcon capturing him and saving the frozen Dynomutt to the later one by Mr. Freeze in Batman & Robin.
    • As mentioned in the main page, Blue Falcon is a parody of Batman. In the Brazilian dub, he was voiced by Nilton Valério, who voiced Batman in Challenge of the Superfriends and in Tim Burton's two films starring Michael Keaton.
    • The Latin American dubbing has Santiago Gil as Dynomutt's voice actor. He dubbed Burt Ward's Dick Grayson in Batman (1966), and his voice, even in a higher pitch, is recognizable to Latin-American audiences, which reinforces the parody.
    • Scooby-Doo's admiration for Dynomutt becomes hilarious after Dynomutt's voice actor, Frank Welker, became the official voice of Scooby-Doo in 2002.
