#fa la la la ed
The girls finally made it home locking the door behind them.
I really like that shot of Lee locking the door. It’s so suspenseful. And it also makes me fear that the girls have been in this situation before. Tat and they’re realizing how true their mother’s words are.
And this shot of the Kanker’s is well-directed. It just goes to show you how small the Kankers feel. They don’t want to let anyone in. That’s why they are closed off.
May shudders. She has no clue what just happened.
Lee barks, “Mom was right. Throw a man a bone and he’ll mess up the carpet!”
Our of all the offscreen parents on Ed, Edd n Eddy the Kankers mother is my favorite. It’s implied that some of the parents are home in the cul-de-sac. Whenever the Kanker’s are home I get an instant vibe that they are alone. Their mother has to work a lot. She is trying to give her daughters the best life.
Whether or not the Kanker’s are the same in age or they’re a year apart, there have been a couple or a few different birth fathers. My headcanon that one of them (May’s dad) is still around. But he and the Kanker’s mother are not on good terms.
Lee is the oldest. She has witnessed her mother’s actions with men longer than Marie and May. Even though the girls catch on to the Ed’s scheme, I notice that they don’t invade the cul-de-sac as much.
That’s when Edd appears welcoming his ‘dainty, Douty darlings’ home.
I’m not sure whether I find this Edd face adorable, funny or creepy. It’s a mixture of all three.
He offers a sock to each Kanker. Actually, he only has two. Whose socks are those? I’ve never seen Edd where any other sock beside his red ones.
Edd also refers to the Kankers as his contemptuous cupcakes. Is Edd copying his behavior from Eddy? He’s very laid back in this episode and he knows what he is doing.
What if Edd is tracking down his inner kid and aggressive behavior like how it was implied during the dodgeball incident. I also believe that Edd is hiding his true person. He’s trying to escape from his parents who forced him to become an adult too early.
And Ed has made pancakes with ketchup for the Kanker’s.
I love Ed’s unique way of spelling.
The Kanker’s are terrified and announce that they are going to hide in their room.
Marie calls out to her sisters to ‘wait up!’
In the very first episode where they are introduced, as the Kankers are running off to the kitchen, Marie playfully tells her sisters to ‘wait for her.’
That is an interesting detail about Marie’s character. She is a loner but does not want to be left behind. She’s always tagging along with one of her sisters.
Meanwhile, Eddy is trying to stay out of this chaos keeping a safe distance. It’s sad how he is dragged into this considering that Bro has dragged him into countless situations that he never wanted to be involved in.
Lee’s pose is my favorite in this screenshot. It’s like she’s saying, ‘You’ve got to be kidding me!’
I wonder who put up the poster of ‘Moby Dick’. It’s very subtle but in one episode of season 5, it was shown in the background that Marie likes to read. However, it’s likely that the poster belongs to May as she is quite the nerd.
The Kanker’s room is a mixture of all three of the girl’s personalities. This is the only bedroom in the house. I think their mother sleeps on the couch so her daughters can be more comfortable. Though they don’t show it, the sisters are very close. The girls protect each other at all costs.
Edd has already tampered with their room labeling everything. He even calls the room ‘their love nest’.
While parents aren’t the best example, I wonder where Edd learned this phrase. We have seen Edd’s parents bedroom once. While his parents don’t label everything in the room, they don’t sleep together. Does Edd have a different opinion about love that he wants to invest more into?
Oh, look, there’s a pair of dice hanging around the bed! Eddy has a pair of dice!
Objects in Kanker’s Room
- Two bags of Oats - Fan
- Crutch - Plant
- Posters - Tree Scent
- Magazines
- Clothes
And then Edd reveals this diagram on how they are going to organize the room in his eyes.
Not going to lie, but this a little unsettling. Edd feels very controlling as a boyfriend/husband. Again, that is due to his parents who have their bedroom set up in a strict diagram and have rules laid out for Edd. Edd isn’t even allowed to go inside their bedroom which is cruel if you ask me.
