![]() Ho Yay: Sly and Drake's fathers were very close friends with their wives completely out of the picture (Jack's wife left him for unknown reasons and Dad Cooper's wife isn't seen or mentioned).Hilarious in Hindsight: Thanks to scenes involving Lady Venom and Ned, the author would end up getting commissions that had to do with vore and snakes among other things after the conclusion of his comic.Fan Nickname: Sly's father is frequently called "Dad Cooper" by the critics of the comic.Despite all this, the ending is weirdly upbeat like Thieves in Time was on the basis of the Cooper Gang getting back together and Sly's rekindled relationship with Carmelita, despite that its shown that most of the remaining villains (save for Kevin, Kre, and Caesar) are either still at large or plotting revenge, and the hands-on Director Torus who had a progressive mindset and was willing to bypass red tape to stop criminals is now gone. To top it off, Torus is arbitrarily replaced by Eddard "Ned" Grey an officer that lacks his experience and did very little to actually warrant his promotion to Director, who will probably approach the position with Jack's mindset and in a way that meets Bubo's approval (and "The New Director" confirms all that and more). Esoteric Happy Ending: Lady Venom and Colonel Zahn are freed despite their crimes and the latter has clear intentions of settling the score with Sly one day, along with the fact that Vick ends up taking over Drake's Criminal empire which is portrayed sympathetically.Designated Villain: Torus is seen as a tyrannical director who oversteps his bounds and abuses his power by everyone in the comic and often written to seem like it for the sake of making a political statement, but his actions and veiled ideals are actually rather justifiable from a realistic standpoint and even in the Sly universe considering how incompetent Interpol is in the game.Designated Love Interest: Ned is presented as a rival with Sly for Carmelita's affections but he doesn't do anything to win her over or deepen their relationship it doesn't help that Sly and Carmelita have known each other much longer.In the chapter "Welcome to the Jungle", Sly neglects to mention that there were warlords who Zahn had sold weapons to that planned to terrorize the Congo. Designated Hero: Sly tends to act rather selfish in this comic and almost kills Kevin Turbo by threatening to tip his car into water.Ned becoming the Chief Director of Interpol while this was popular with the author's fans, it doesn't exactly make sense in-universe given that he is only an inspector and doesn't actually have any leadership experience.Despite Sly and the cameos he arrested were criminals, he's still ostracized by the public. The way people react to Torus' actions don't even remotely make sense. Torus' character development suddenly everyone dislikes him and he's seen as a tyrant because of arresting Sly Cooper and other criminals.How Clockwerk and the Necklace are connected the author really didn't elaborate much on it aside from the fact that it was given to Drake and the crystals came from Krakarov Volcano.The fact that the series never got a canon resolution didn't help this at all. ![]() How the ending of Thieves in Time was resolved and why Sly and Carmelita suddenly grew distant.Anvilicious: Jack Lupus became a mouthpiece for the self-determination aesop of the story halfway through the chapters “Welcome to the Jungle” and "Wrath of the Wolf King" and starts hammering it in, especially during scenes at Interpol HQ and at a diner he brought Drake in to the point that it comes off as objectivist, even reactionary, depending on how it's interpreted. ![]()
