The first season of this show was initally on Fox Kids from 1998-1999 in the United States. There are Fox Kids bumpers of the show on YouTube.

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. EvergreenFir (talk) 05:59, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

Characters in the Intro

Look, the reason why Jack was introduced into the intro was because he IS a main character, because that's the whole point of an intro, they introduce the show and its main characters, and it doesn't need to add the text "Main Characters" to the intro (it wouldn't make sense), Recurring characters should not be introduced in the intro unless they have become main characters, That's Basic Intro 101. If Jack wasn't a main character, he wouldn't have been introduced by his appearance and name in the show's intro along with the titular characters, he would've been kept out of the intro along with Bob and Olivia.

Firstly, the intro doesn't explicitly state Jack is a main character. Appearing in the intro indicates prominence, not necessarily main character status, as it's a visual choice, not a narrative one, and the source you provided last year doesn't explicitly confirm Jack as a main character either. Secondly, we already discussed and agreed last year that Jack is a recurring character, so reopening the same debate without new sources or reasoning seems counterproductive. Lastly, if you're still insisting Jack is a main character, I propose a simple compromise: remove all subheadings entirely and just have a "Characters" section to avoid subjective labeling and better reflect the ensemble nature of the show.

@Media Mender Oh yeah? well, if you can show me a different show's intro with prominence of one of its recurring characters, then I can let Jack stay in the recurring characters. But, if you can't find one, you'll have to add Jack to the main characters. PickleAndPeanutFan (talk) 23:01, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir, another French animated show, features recurring characters like Alya, Kagami, and Luka in its intro during later seasons. Yet they are still officially listed as supporting or recurring characters. This shows that intro appearance alone does not define main character status. Media Mender 📬✍🏻 07:10, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

@Media Mender Because it didn't give out the names of the characters. If they were main characters, they would've give us their names. Look, I think I got a better idea. How about instead of keeping the sub-headers of "Main" and "Recurring", How about we change them. Instead of "Main", we replace it with "Seen in the Intro". That way When Jack is added to that sub-header, no one can edit him out of that section, since it's accurate, It won't say that he's a main nor recurring character, He's just seen in the intro along with the titular characters. Then we can replace "Recurring" with Other characters. So, we can know that there are other characters featured in the show, along with Bob and Olivia.

I don't agree with creating a subheading like "Seen in the Intro" because it would still go against Wikipedia guidelines like WP:V and WP:OR, as it's based on your own interpretation rather than reliable sources. I still think my proposal to remove all subheadings and just have a single "Characters" section is the better option. It keeps things neutral and avoids labeling characters without clear sources. Media Mender 📬✍🏻 05:51, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

@Media Mender I give up, you are too stubborn to agree with me and everyone else. I guess I let the sub-headers stay, until I find proof he is a main character. It's okay, Media Mender, you can keep the sub-headers. PickleAndPeanutFan (talk) 12:32, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

Please comment on the content, not on the contributor. Calling other editors "stubborn" is a personal remark and goes against Wikipedia's policy on personal attacks. Media Mender 📬✍🏻 13:43, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
