Jonny Quest
Episode 1: Mystery of The Lizard Men
Introduction
"Jonny Quest was groundbreaking for bringing realistic action, science, and global adventure to Saturday mornings, featuring serious danger, real science concepts, and sophisticated villains like Dr. Zin, unlike typical cartoons of its era, establishing a blueprint for action-adventure animation with its globe-trotting mysteries and grounded threats, despite early parental complaints about its intensity"
Decoding the Adults:
Redhead(and blue eyes) + "Race"
(Blue Eyes confirmation & a slight point in the ears as well)
Notice that "Race" Bannon has white hair, a most unique trait to genetics of those with red hair:
The most well known white haired man is Santa Claus who's elves have red hair:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_elf
It starts of with a directed energy weapon blowing up a boat:
-5 years after this Jonny Quest episode Hannah Barbera's other show Scooby Doo also had a DEW:
Another nearby random boat crew notice the attacked and began attempting to call in for the coast guard but the pirate lizard men boarded and subdued the witnesses immediately then quickly abandoned ship and blew it up using the directed energy weapon ray a second time thus destroying any unwanted attention or evidence:
#Coverup #Nowitnesses #Mercenary #Reptoid
A survivor was rescued and questioned in the hospital:
-"Delirious"
-Explosion, thin red light
-lizard climbing into his boat
The government agents investigating fly to the Doctors island and inform him of the current mystery:
The first scene of the Doctor, face timing:
The lab discussion on the island with the government agents and the Quest team reviewing the situation:
Now we meet lizard crew, lair and leader via secret underwater base:
Clear direct reference to Ghosts, while clearly the pirate (and reptilian theme) is also present:
The villains plan is to use the DEW to prevent space missions, thus keeping us from going to the stars and maintain the cosmic quarantine:
- "Development a laser gun into the ultimate weapon"
- "First man to the moon shot is scheduled for today"
- This episode aired 5 years prior to Apollo 11 !
More speak of space, another focus on the secret base element and they want the "Dog" to be used for distraction:
Calls reptilian henchmen babies:
- This is because they are often reptilians incarnate into a human clone form so the age of the human form is for example maybe less than a year so they covertly in media refer to them as babies.
The Final DEW scene:
- Dr Quest (red haired man) uses mirrors to reflect the lasers * he himself had on his private island the same laser tech, they connect him intrinsically into the DEW element present throughout the episode-
The episode closing scene with AI in the 60s
Specifically the red haired man giving commands
With a response by the machine stating that it was foreign powers as well as a phony cover story for the lizard men.
- This is an early applied tactic of pushing blame elsewhere(foreign powers) programmed right into the conclusion of the episode
Notable Mentions:
When they first arrive the to crime scene (Sargasso sea) Jonny refers to it as spooky.
They reference France/French then question why laser experiments where being done here.
Dog, Mirror, Redhead, Experiment:
Dog afraid of floating head:
Dog -Silence - Green
