American Dragon: Jake Long | comment |
American Dragon: Jake Long (2005-2007) was a Disney Channel cartoon created by Jeff Goode about a young teenager growing up in a world full of weird goings-on.OK, so that's almost all Disney Channel cartoons. More specifically, Jake Long is the "American Dragon", a cocky, brash youngster with the power to shapeshift into his reptilian alter-ego, serving as a sort of superhero for the magical creatures that live in secret in the human world.Each episode is usually focused on completing a task brought on by his supernatural responsibility, and the conflict it brings with his personal life at school. His grandfather, who also has dragon powers, serves as his mentor and teacher. The series makes extensive use of fantasy and folklore creatures the world over, often with subtle twists for comedy purposes.The biggest running plot lines are Jake's budding crush/romance with a girl named Rose, and his battles with a shadowy villain named The Huntsman and his sidekick Thorn Huntsgirl, leaders of The Huntsclan.Other recurring antagonists include Professor Rotwood, a German PhD who was discredited as a scientist for believing in the supernatural, and was forced to become a junior high school teacher (who, ironically, sees many of the supernatural events that happen around Jake) and Eli Excelsior Pandarus, a celebrity wizard and mystical equivalent to a Corrupt Corporate Executive, and Dark Dragon, reportedly the only of his kind to ever go bad.The show's second season comes with a major overhaul of the design and style of the series, spearheaded by producer Steve Loter. While thoughts on the visuals are divisive, it's generally agreed upon that the change is also intertwined with the series finally Growing the Beard, with a greater emphasis being placed on plot progression and character development, and some of the more obnoxious elements like Jake's slang being toned down.The series ended in Fall 2007 after a run of 52 episodes and a slew of Executive Meddling. Strangely enough, a similar premise of an urban Chinese-American teenager as The Chosen One protector of a hidden world of magic existed in the concurrently-running Cartoon Network show The Life and Times of Juniper Lee. | |

Doctor's Disgraceful Demotion | |
American Dragon: Jake Long / int_10c9fbb | comment |
Doctor's Disgraceful Demotion: "Professor" Rottwood believes in the existence of magical creatures, much like another public school teacher. Unfortunately for Rottwood, when he presented his evidence of such, it was not seen as quirky by his peers, but rather an affront to scientific discovery and an egregious misuse of research funds. He was summarily stripped of his accreditation, and reduced to teaching middle school while continuing to harangue others about his crackpot theories, a fact he finds very insulting. | |

Annoying Younger Sibling | |
American Dragon: Jake Long / int_130436b9 | comment |
In the second to last episode, "Being Human", Jake has had enough after two years of having to deal with constant threats to the magical world. Getting in trouble with his dad and losing Rose while being expected never to falter or complain about his duty without time to enjoy himself whatsoever and deliberately gets his responsibility removed so he can relax actually be a fourteen year old kid for once. Haley is given the responsibility in the meantime, and while at first claims she will be a better dragon than him, she turns into a stressed-out mess in less than a week. When Haley accidentally reveals Jake got his powers removed on purpose, Lao Shi starts to rant about his immature, self-serving grandson for not flawlessly rising to the thankless job, but then Haley snaps and rants about him, pointing out how difficult it is and how much Jake's had to give up to be the American Dragon, saying that it might have been immature, but it wasn't self-serving for him to want to actually want to be a kid for a few days — generally considered her finest moment in the series. | |

Bloodless Carnage: Averted in "Being Human" with a cut to Jake's arm and the blood also later appearing dripping from a hook because it was needed as a plot device. Played completely straight in the series finale when Rose slices off the tip of The Dark Dragon's tail with her Huntsclan staff. | |

American Dragon: Jake Long / int_35c35a89 | comment |
Dinosaurs Are Dragons: Jake's magic-hunting teacher Mr. (I mean Prof.) Rotwood had the theory that dragons evolved from dinosaurs. Being the American Dragon, Jake knew this was a bunch of hooey. | |

In the "Freaky Friday" Flip episode "Switcheroo", Jake (in Haley's body) breakdances at a dance audition to get Haley into a summer dance program in Paris. Said audition is a near shot-for-shot replication of the audition scene in Flashdance. | |

Broken Aesop | |
American Dragon: Jake Long / int_401d4116 | comment |
Broken Aesop: In "Siren Says," Jake takes part in a Bachelor Auction, rigging the bids so that he ends up with the beautiful captain of the school swimming team, Danika Hunnicut. Trixie justifiably chews Jake out for his shallow behavior, accusing him of only caring about looks. Over the next couple of days, Jake keeps falling into magical trances whenever he's around Danika, causing him to stumble into dangerous situations. Trixie suspects Danika of foul play, believing she is manipulating Jake for her own amusement. However, it is revealed Danika is innocent, and that the true culprit is a siren named Vicky Fickling, who was also bidding for Jake at the auction, who framed Danika by giving her the magical necklace that caused Jake's trances. Once the matter is settled, Jake and his friends discuss what kind of lesson they were meant to take away from the experience, with Jake pointing out that if he hadn't chosen Danika for purely superficial reasons, he would have wound up with an evil, mind-controlling siren rather than a genuinely nice and sweet girl. | |

Bittersweet Ending: "Homecoming" ends with the Magical World forever safe from the Huntsclan and the Aztec Skulls, but almost at the cost of Rose's life. Jake's able to save her, but she loses her memory of him in the process. Even worse, she moves to Hong Kong with her parents, meaning that Jake has seemingly lost her forever. However, Jake decides that Rose's safety and happiness is enough for him to be able to move on. | |

I Just Want to Be Normal: A lot of the time, Jake would rather be a normal teenager, as his responsibilities as the American Dragon tend to keep him from having a normal life and hanging out with his friends. This applies to Rose as well, who is not a very happy Huntsclan member. She straight up confides in Jake that she wishes she could be a typical teenage girl. | |

Polar Opposite Twins: Oracle twins Kara and Sara are a variant that mainly has to do with their differing default emotions of sorts. The gothic Kara foresees good events in the future and is always gloomy because everything good about to happen gets spoiled for her, whereas the cheerful and preppy Sara foresees the bad events and is always so happy because any time the horrible things she sees aren't happening is absolutely fantastic in comparison. | |

While he's already hurt from that time when the students ran over him while he tried to distribute ski passes. That having said, his attitude of continuing to supervise the trip with several broken bones instead of admitting he's hurt and should go to the hospital leads to quite a lot more accidents for him. | |

American Dragon: Jake Long / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Long = Dragon in Chinese. (The surname is from his Anglo father's side of the family. Sure, he once claimed to also be of Chinese descent but his basis for such a claim is questionable, and not just because he doesn't look Asian.) | |

Prehensile Tail | |
American Dragon: Jake Long / int_6be52ff2 | comment |
Prehensile Tail: Dragons regularly use their tails in combat and to manipulate objects. In fact, one of the first things Jake is taught in dragon training is using his tail as a weapon. | |

Casting Gag: Dante Basco playing a teenager who rides a skateboard and wears ridiculous amounts of hair gel. Previously, in Hook, he had played Rufio, who also rides a skateboard and has ridiculous hair. Jonathan Freeman plays a nasty magician here. Previously, he was in Aladdin, where he had played an even nastier evil magician, Jafar. | |

Clark Kenting: Jake and Rose somehow don't recognize the voice of their significant crush being the same as the person they're often fighting throughout the first season. This is made especially egregious when Jake takes a shapeshifting potion that wears off to reveal his entire outfit except for his head, and Rose still doesn't put the pieces together. | |

Left Hanging: While The Huntsclan and The Dark Dragon are permanently defeated, it is obvious that "Hong Kong Longs" was not a planned finale. The fate of Jake and Rose's relationship is left ambiguous, Chang was spared so she could make a comeback, Rose's twin was never seen (a plot point specifically mentioned to have been planned for Season 3), and for pretty much every question that was answered by the end of the final episode, a new question only rose to take its place. | |

Wham Episode: "Professor Rotwood’s Thesis": Trixie and Spud find out Jake’s a dragon, and Rotwood has his suspicions about Jake’s secret identity, as well, signifying that the show is willing to defy Status Quo Is God. "Ski Trip", in which Jake finds out Rose is Huntsgirl, resulting in the first episode to have a Downer Ending and marking the point where the show becomes more dramatic in terms of the Jake/Rose plot. "Something Fishy This Way Comes": it’s revealed that Principal Derceto is an undercover mermaid detective. The episode ends with her returning to the underwater city now that her mission is over, and Rotwood becomes the new principal of the school. "Dreamscape". Who would have thought that The Huntsman kidnapped Rose at birth? "The Rotwood Files": Rotwood knows Jake is a dragon, and vows that he will expose him one day. "Homecoming" features the destruction of the Huntsclan and changes the status quo by having Rose forget about Jake and move to Hong Kong. | |

Artistic License – Education | |
American Dragon: Jake Long / int_8f36080d | comment |
Artistic License – Education: Professor Rotwood somehow manages to get away with teaching a class about magical creatures in an ordinary middle school. Whilst the first episode reveals the class is officially about mythology (which some middle and high schools have been known to offer) and Rotwood's obsessions cause him to shift focus, it still stretches belief he would be able to get away with this for years. Pushing things further, despite being arrested several times throughout the series (including on one occasion for kidnapping his own students), he's always back teaching in the next episode and is even promoted to principal in the second season. There's also the fact he calls himself "Professor" Rotwood despite being a middle school teacher, not a college lecturer. | |

American Dragon: Jake Long / int_a0797fb3 | comment |
In "Homecoming", Gramps begins to stop Jake from using the Crystal Skulls to save Rose from being destroyed by her own wish, claiming it would be irresponsible to use them for "one's own personal gain." Jake cuts him off, yelling that it would be for Rose's happiness, not his own, and she deserves to live a good life with a family who cares for her. After using his wish to rewrite her life such that she was never a member of the Huntsclan, he angrily destroys the skulls and flies off, everyone else left in Stunned Silence. | |

Jive Turkey: Jake's street lingo gets pretty thick in the first season, though it's toned down in the second. As a nice touch, it gets thickest just when he's about to screw up because of his own overconfidence. When he starts taking things seriously and gets things done, his dialogue tones down accordingly. This is supposedly a reference to first or second generation Asian Americans embracing US culture. His alternative is to act like Grandpa. It also gets a Lampshade Hanging in "Switcheroo" when Haley calls it "unbearable hip-hop slang from five years ago". | |

Prophecy Twist | |
American Dragon: Jake Long / int_bb5126ec | comment |
Prophecy Twist: Two (actually more if you bother to keep count) prophecies are twisted in "Body Guard Duty". The first one stated Trixie and Spud will "tie the knot", much to Trixie's horror. The second is that Jake will be hit by a boulder and it doesn't help that the prophecy specifies how fast the boulder would be. At Ogre Bowl, an ogre throws a boulder that hits Jake at the specified speed, thus fulfilling the prophecy. However, Jake is flying at a slightly slower speed and it doesn't hurt him. At the end of the episode, Spud's shoe is untied and Trixie ties it, meaning the prediction about them tying the knot wasn't about marriage. In a smaller scale, it is predicted that somebody will take the last pudding at the cafeteria before Rose can get to it. Jake proceeds to run to the shelf as another student is about to grab it, take it, and give it to Rose. When Trixie questions the prediction, Kara points out it came true as Jake was the somebody who took the pudding. Also, it is predicted chocolate milk would be spilled on Spud's shirt. Trying to defy the prophecy, he runs outside the school, but a truckload of chocolate milk crashes nearby, spilling some of its contents onto Spud's shirt. | |

Anti-Hero | |
American Dragon: Jake Long / int_beb9a361 | comment |
Anti-Hero: While being a good guy, Jake is by no means perfect. He's arrogant, self-conscious, goofs off, skives off training, does poorly in school, abuses his power every once in a while, sometimes directly endangers his family and friends, and generally half the crap that happens to him is entirely self-inflicted. He's also a thirteen-year-old boy saddled with power, enormous responsibility and peril that would crush most people. Furthermore, he has few adult mentors (the dragon powers skipped his mom's generation) and his line of duty costs him most of his social life, as well as his girlfriend twice. He purposely sabotages himself to have his dragon chi removed for a week to enjoy his middle school graduation. His over-achieving little sister is stuck with the burden and she starts falling at the seams. She defends her brother's choice when Lao Shi finds out and calls him "immature" and "self-serving" by listing all the difficulties of being the American Dragon that both she and Jake had to deal with before delving into the personal problems it caused Jake (namely not able to relate to his dad that much and ended up lying to him about who he is, and losing Rose twice), leading Lao Shi to realize just how hard he was on 14-year old Jake for the last two years, deciding that Jake deserves some time off of his burdens and cutting his dragon training in half for the upcoming summer. All in all, he's handling this job a lot better than could realistically be expected. | |

American Dragon: Jake Long / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Haley is named after after Eminem's daughter Halie Jade. The sharkwoman barfs up a license plate that says "Out-A-Time". Does Fu Dog's costume in the Christmas Episode remind you of a certain snowman? Personality-wise, Sun Park is very similar to Miss Grotke. Those poisoned with Krylock venom grow an extra mouth on their tongues. In the "Freaky Friday" Flip episode "Switcheroo", Jake (in Haley's body) breakdances at a dance audition to get Haley into a summer dance program in Paris. Said audition is a near shot-for-shot replication of the audition scene in Flashdance. | |

Series Continuity Error | |
American Dragon: Jake Long / int_ca95473c | comment |
Series Continuity Error: The show has a decent number: In "Professor Rotwood's Thesis", Lao-Shi has Fu Dog drive since he doesn't have a driver's license. In "The Heist", Lao-Shi's role is to be the getaway driver and his lack of a driver's license is never brought up. In "Adventures in Troll Sitting", Jake tells Stan the Sewer Troll that his mom has been working on telling his dad about the existence of magical creatures since October 1992. However, in "Hero of the Hourglass", Susan's first attempt to tell Jonathan was in June 1986, when she wrote him a letter and almost put it in his locker. In "Fu and Tell", Fu Dog says that Haley taking him to her show and tell is his first time going to school. However, in "The Halloween Bash", he says that Lao-Shi once sent him to obedience school. In "Body Guard Duty", it's established that the prophecies of the Oracle Twins always come true, just not in the ways you'd expect. Even with the claim that there can be twists to the prophecies, the accuracy of Sara's vision in "The Academy" is dubious at best. She claims she sees a circle of skulls and magical creatures crying in agony, but when the Aztec Skull Story Arc concludes in "Homecoming", nothing ever comes of the magical creatures in agony part. Instead, it's Huntsclan members who cry in agony. The original plan was that the Huntsman's wish for the destruction of all magical creatures started to be granted before Rose could stop him, but when Disney axed the original two-part episode, this got dropped. In "The Hunted", Jake meets Silver, an incredibly intelligent mermaid with aquaphobia so severe that she can't swim. Several episodes earlier, however, in "The Halloween Bash", Silver is seen as one of Jake's party guests where she is perfectly fine and happy in a water tank. "Hong Kong Nights" throws the show's timeline into utter chaos by setting Lao-Shi's backstory in 1972. It's established that he and Fu Dog meet for the first time in that year, even though Fu says that he's known Lao-Shi for 40 years in "Jake Takes the Cake". Even worse, Lao-Shi's portrayal as a young bachelor with no family is hard to reconcile with "Hero of the Hourglass" establishing his daughter Susan's year of birth as either 1968 or 1969. | |

Temporary Scrappy: Jake's normal Non-Human Sidekick is a dog named Fu. In "Nobody's Fu", he's replaced by a monkey named Bananas B. Bananas B acts excessively cool and has many useful skills, thus making Jake and most of the other characters like him. However, in the fight against a Monster of the Week evil dragon, Bananas surrenders and goes over to her side. Jake appreciates his more loyal friend Fu once more, and Bananas' only other appearance is when his new dragon mistress reappears in a later episode. | |

Achilles' Heel | |
American Dragon: Jake Long / int_d7639dba | comment |
Achilles' Heel: Sphinx Hair for dragons. Usually, it is only used to force dragons back into their human forms, but the episode "Bite Father, Bite Son" suggests that Sphinx Hair is far more dangerous than that, and might even be fatal if dragons are exposed to it for too long. Justified by the fact that the Sphinx Hair used before was merely a thin net, probably reinforced with other materials, and nowhere near the amount used in the episode. | |

Also their Achilles' Heel is a spot just behind their ear and their Kryptonite Factor is Sphinx hair. Many of them also have dog-like noses despite being reptilian. | |

Art Evolution: A permanent redesign of the characters and style starting in season 2, reminiscent of The Proud Family. Most of the characters shifted heights (Chang whose human form was miniature like Grandpa in the first season and human height in the second). Appearances got altered, possibly with character personalities in mind (The Oracle Twins, Pandarus, etc). Jake's dragon form was also given a more skinny body, possibly to be more reminiscent of Eastern-style dragons. | |

Calling the Old Man Out | |
American Dragon: Jake Long / int_e52a0409 | comment |
Calling the Old Man Out: In "Homecoming", Gramps begins to stop Jake from using the Crystal Skulls to save Rose from being destroyed by her own wish, claiming it would be irresponsible to use them for "one's own personal gain." Jake cuts him off, yelling that it would be for Rose's happiness, not his own, and she deserves to live a good life with a family who cares for her. After using his wish to rewrite her life such that she was never a member of the Huntsclan, he angrily destroys the skulls and flies off, everyone else left in Stunned Silence. In the second to last episode, "Being Human", Jake has had enough after two years of having to deal with constant threats to the magical world. Getting in trouble with his dad and losing Rose while being expected never to falter or complain about his duty without time to enjoy himself whatsoever and deliberately gets his responsibility removed so he can relax actually be a fourteen year old kid for once. Haley is given the responsibility in the meantime, and while at first claims she will be a better dragon than him, she turns into a stressed-out mess in less than a week. When Haley accidentally reveals Jake got his powers removed on purpose, Lao Shi starts to rant about his immature, self-serving grandson for not flawlessly rising to the thankless job, but then Haley snaps and rants about him, pointing out how difficult it is and how much Jake's had to give up to be the American Dragon, saying that it might have been immature, but it wasn't self-serving for him to want to actually want to be a kid for a few days — generally considered her finest moment in the series. | |

Two-Teacher School | |
American Dragon: Jake Long / int_edce12ef | comment |
Two-Teacher School: The junior high school attended by Jake and his friends appears to have exactly one teacher in season 1, Professor Rotwood. There is a director, and in season 2, home economics teacher Sun Park joins the cast, but that's all the school staff we ever see. | |

"Kick Me" Prank | |
American Dragon: Jake Long / int_ee4535b9 | comment |
"Kick Me" Prank: "Family Business" had Fu Dog try to pull this trick on Marty, only for it to fail and for him to notice that he had a sign on his back that read, "Kick Me Harder" | |

Anti-Sneeze Finger | |
American Dragon: Jake Long / int_f22d3416 | comment |
Anti-Sneeze Finger: In the season 1 episode, "The Hunted", Jake and some other magical creatures are hiding in a tree from the Huntsclan below. Clooney suddenly remembers that he is allergic to pollen and starts sneezing. Cue an Anti-Sneeze Finger (or tail in Jake and Silver's case) from everyone. He sneezed anyway and alerted the Huntsclan. | |

Pungeon Master: Fu Dog is so fond of puns that in episodes like "The Egg" and "Dragon Summit", this is more or less all he does. | |

Not Evil, Just Misunderstood: When Spud first saw a holographic image of a krylock, he tried to invoke the trope for them but, once the image tried to sting him, Spud said there were really evil. | |

Never Say "Die": The Huntsclan is "destroyed" by a magic wish, with all members inexplicably rising into the air and disappearing. Except for 88 and 89, who quit just in time to save themselves. | |

American Dragon: Jake Long / int_f648dc43 | comment |
Great Accomplishment, Weak Credibility: Jake takes some pictures of himself in dragon form and delivers them to Rotwood. However, Rotwood thinks the pictures are fabricated, viewing Jake as too much of an amateur to have gotten close to a real dragon. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending | |
American Dragon: Jake Long / int_f64a9cf7 | comment |
Earn Your Happy Ending: After spending the first season as enemies, the first half of the second season being separated from each other out of fear of what the Huntsman would do if he learned Rose had turned traitor, and being separated for the second half of the season after Rose lost her memories and moved to Hong Kong, she and Jake finally manage to reconcile their relationship in the series finale when she regains her memories and helps defeat the Dark Dragon. | |

Snow Means Love | |
American Dragon: Jake Long / int_f7eda5d8 | comment |
Snow Means Love: The episode “The Ski Trip” uses this trope with a twist. The opening scene shows Jake and Rose together in Central Park on a snowy day, with Jake wondering if he should reveal his Secret Identity to her in order to proceed with their relationship. (However, in a textbook case of Dramatic Irony, it turns out Rose is actually the Huntsgirl, and has unknowingly tried to kill Jake multiple times.) The climactic scene of the episode, where Huntsgirl removes her glove to reveal Rose's dragon-shaped birthmark, takes place during a blizzard. It's almost Snow Means Death, except instead of the death of a person, we see the death of a relationship. They get back together. Guess it was a Disney Death. | |

American Dragon: Jake Long / int_f818b637 | comment |
Dude, Where's My Respect?: While substituting for Jake, Haley asks Sun why if she's meant to be the protector of the city from the dangers of the magical world, is she having to look through the sewer for a troll's wedding ring. Sun just gives her a stern look in response, as if being a 'magical protector' and a 'magical errand girl' are the same thing. | |

American Dragon: Jake Long / int_f829585a | comment |
Beauty Is Bad: Averted in "Siren Says". Trixie believes the beautiful Danika Hunnicutt is a mind controlling siren trying to hurt Jake, only to find out that it's actually a plain and awkward geek girl named Vicky who is really the siren trying to frame Danika for hurting Jake, which she lampshades as being easy since people always expect pretty girls to be evil. | |

Prophecies Are Always Right | |
American Dragon: Jake Long / int_f9636192 | comment |
In "Body Guard Duty", it's established that the prophecies of the Oracle Twins always come true, just not in the ways you'd expect. Even with the claim that there can be twists to the prophecies, the accuracy of Sara's vision in "The Academy" is dubious at best. She claims she sees a circle of skulls and magical creatures crying in agony, but when the Aztec Skull Story Arc concludes in "Homecoming", nothing ever comes of the magical creatures in agony part. Instead, it's Huntsclan members who cry in agony. The original plan was that the Huntsman's wish for the destruction of all magical creatures started to be granted before Rose could stop him, but when Disney axed the original two-part episode, this got dropped. | |

Brick Joke: At the beginning of "Bring It On", Professor Rotwood was escorting students through the museum when he accidentally broke a statue. He quickly told the students they saw nothing. Neither him nor the incident have been mentioned again until the end credits, when he phoned his mother for bail money because he was arrested for it. | |
