I’m just as confused as you are Shorty! The battle of the sexes angle always made me scratch my head figuratively. I mean technically it was three episodes with “Helga’s Makeover”, The Harold vs.Patty episode and “Ghost Bride”. Other than those three episodes, gender isn’t that big of an issue like it was on Jimmy Neutron for example.
This chapter of this wonderful fanfiction has Curly make a joke about it https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13297726/20/Hey-Arnold-Season-6-The-Mitigators , but I could have sworn the author mentioned something about why the intro is the way it is in one of the author’s notes. I’m positive that Craig mentioned it at one point in an interview what it was a reference to, but I can’t remember what the gosh darn reference is! All I can remember is something about Craig mentioning it was a reference to something and how he wanted to twist it around to have a more chill approach because that’s who Arnold is. I wish I could be more helpful.
Does anyone have any earthly idea why the HEY ARNOLD! opening sequence is… like That?
I love the contrast of born again and the original series’s title sequences. In the original opening, everything that was important to Matt i.e. the church, justice, New York is made from this dripping red ‘blood’ and in return all of these things lead to the literal creation of Daredevil. In born again’s opening, all those things important to Matt/Daredevil; the church, justice, Nelson, Murdock and Page are shown in concrete form with cracks and pieces falling off before they are destroyed and from that rubble of everything important to him, Daredevil is remade he is born again. The difference between something fluid being for creation and something solid and hard for the destruction
The new title sequence basically tells us how the show is gonna play out and what’s gonna happen with stunning visuals that mirror the originals title sequence. I know this is a pretty surface level analysis and isn’t anything groundbreaking I just thought it was pretty cool
