    I really enjoyed watching this becaus ei t showed a lot of cindy's jealousy but I think it's weird that she likes Timmy too! I tink CIndy and Jimmy work better.I thought it was a good twist that they all got the wrong N-Men packets. I love watching Cindy get overprotective over Jimmy's crush on Betty. I can't wait to see more episodes like this one. TH e make this show much more interesting. I can't wait till Jimmy and Cindy are a couple but then again it wouldn't be as good of a show. But I still can't wait.moreless

    With Jimmy Neutron, you can always expect some comedy, science(fiction), romance, and good-heartedness, and this one is a great exapmle. If someone came up to me, and said "which Jimmy Neutron episode should I watch first?" With a smile, I would promptly answer, "The League of Villians!" Why, you ask?

    You can catch Eusatce strych, Beautiful Gorgeous, Professor Calmitous, Baby Eddie, Grannma taters, Junkman, Zix, Travoltron, Tee, and King Goobot planning their evil plot in the beginning. All of Jimmy's help supplies are disabled, and Jimmy is abducted! Luckily, (as always) sheen has a plan...... ("What Plan?" "well, I haven't really gotten to that yet.") As they are captured, Carl, Libby, and Cindy fly off in Jimmy's rocket. They eventually meet....but Cindy is driving his rocket!!!!!

    They crash land on Mars, and the kids, along with Tee, who saved Jimmy ans Sheen, get blasted into a crater. Cindy almost admits her love for Jimmy, and then Jimmy pecks her on the cheek and shoots out love potion at the BG and Junkman. They fall in love and Jimmy and the gang are not destroyed.

    After they all go into the wormhole, Jimmy traps them in the Cretacious era (except the space bandits) and everyone is treated to milkshakes at the Candy bar and Jimmy and Cindy hold hands... how sweet.

    Jam-packed with action, romance, comedy, and suspense, this is a must see for JN fans world-wide!!!!!moreless

  • Great! But I don't believe this to be the final episode of JN.

    One of the few hour-long episodes of the Neutron series but certainly among the best. In my opinion the only episodes that truly compare to this one are "Win, Lose, and Kaboom" and possibly "Stranded" for writing and animation quality. Since Nick hasn't aired this episode in over a year new fans haven't had the opportunity to see "League of Villains," which is a shame. The hour-long time slot has Nick in a bind I would guess, but they seemed to have shown other hour-long Neutron specials with no problem. Seems like LoV and "Win, Lose, and Kaboom" are the only hour specials that aren't given air time and, strangely enough, are the best episodes the series has to offer. When taking LoV as a whole, I reflect on another reviewer's opinion that it seemed rushed and could've easily become a second JN movie on its own. For the most part I agree with this opinion but when it comes to movies, Jimmy Neutron has already "fired its bolt" if you will and had its time in the cinematic sun. Too bad! In this particular case, the Jimmy Neutron movie served as a springboard for the TV series rather than a logical following of plot threads from an already successful TV show. If the evolution of Jimmy Neutron's story lines and character development had already been laid via TV, then "League of Villains" would've indeed been an outstanding plot for a movie. Sadly there was no such opportunity and the folks at DNA probably worked hard to streamline the plot to fit into the hour slot with little loss of continuity.

    When considering the TV series as a whole, we see more than just a collection of episodes. We see the characters in JN learning new lesions, developing new relationships, expanding their idiosyncrasies, and just plain growing up. We see true heart felt friendship and it reminds us that our friends are among are greatest assets. The progression of episodes in this series shows more than just some hilarious situations. It shows the growing feelings between Jimmy and Cindy, as well as Sheen and Libby. The baby steps they take towards true regard, and inevitably love, brings the characters closer to the viewers than most would expect from a cartoon series. We really actually like these characters, and we feel their joy and pain.

    But for the purpose of chronology, it's difficult to see where LoV fits with regards to the other more recent episodes. Some conclude that LoV is that flaming curtain that's drawn to end season 3, and the series itself. All other episodes, such as the power hours, are considered ancillary fixtures and thus out of the normal chronological episode progression. This may be why some episodes like "Lady Sings the News" and "King of Mars" have not been aired in the United States. There may be some teeth to these continuity concerns. In "King of Mars" Eustace is back but did he escape from the cretaceous period, or did he recover his wrecked spacecraft from the Martian surface to join the others in LoV? Where does it all fit in? Also it seems that Betty Quinlin is a non-factor in "King of Mars" and Cindy no longer has any emotional barriers to her feelings for Jimmy. Certainly the J/C romance seems further along in these episodes than in LoV so it's hard to imagine that it's truly the end of the series. A more compelling ending certainly exists in "Lady Sings the News." Jimmy steals a kiss from a surprised and delighted Cindy and walks off. Cindy is frozen in her tracks with a stunned look on her face, but shakes it off and runs to take Jimmy's hand for their "Walk off the stage together" moment. The short scene conveys what we all wanted to know before the series ends, and that is the characters have all grown up together, they will be friends for the rest of their lives, and Jimmy and Cindy are truly in love. What ending could be better?

    With regards to the whole J/C romance in LoV, it certainly is not as heated as in KoM or LSTN. However, Cindy and Libby are allowed in Jimmy's lab now. Somewhat of a change since there used to be a strict no girls policy when it came to lab access. We do see some changes in the way Jimmy and Cindy interact. She's no longer outright cruel or critical of Jimmy and is simply entertaining herself (with Libby) watching Jimmy taking himself way too seriously with the science stuff. Her obvious jealousy at the Betty pictures and her near profession of love later on show that Cindy has big plans for her future, and they obviously include Jimmy. Libby's affirmations that Cindy is in love with Jimmy (but can't admit it) are telling. Especially since Cindy makes no effort to rebut Libby's conclusion like she has in the past. The J/C moments are there, but they're quick and very subtle. That is until Cindy pushes Jimmy to destroy all his pictures of Betty. She wants that one thing that stands in the way of getting Jimmy's affection vanquished from his mind. This is a very audacious request from the very person who, up until recently, could hardly say a kind word to Jimmy. We see now that Love can work in strange ways, even in cartoons. The holding hands at the end is very cute but again, very subtle.

    Wow! That's a lot to say about a cartoon series, but certainly one that deserves more recognition than it got. If Jimmy Neutron is one of the best in the cartoon genre, then "League of Villains" is the best of the best with all respects to writing, animation, and voice acting. As for myself, an adult who enjoys watching Jimmy Neutron with his kids, I find myself amazed at being so entertained and so touched by what would most consider just another kids cartoon. Weather LoV is truly the final episode or not, it's sad to see the cancellation of such a fine show, which had to be a labor of love for all the folks at DNA productions. Of course the end of LSTN shows that Jimmy and Cindy are now, with all respects, a couple. So where would the dynamic come from? Evidence of other shows tell us that when the romantic tension between two characters is finally broken, there's little place for the show to go.

    Sorry to say this but LSTN defiantly spells the end of Jimmy Neutron as a show. His enemies are all defeated and he's got the girl (or the girl's got him). Time for Jimmy to get through high school, college, and then on to life and I suspect that's where DNA wants to leave it.

    Well it was a very good special, better than atack of the twonkies, the eggpire strikes back and Rescue Jet Fusion. I think that this is the best JN hour special(this doesnt count the JTPH2 and 3). Sheen TRIES to save the day with a ''plan''....too bad that he never had a plan....or a plan B.There are also cameos of twonkies(they show them in almost every episode now).There arent any new villains but King Goobot doesnt have his assistant(he traded him for something...poor Ooblar, I kind of feel sorry for him, Sheen: feel sorry for him!!, he tried to destroy us!!, Me: Sheen im writing here could you leave, Sheen: Sheeesh, thats a little rude dont you think, Me: Sheen!!!, Sheen: fine, anyways Ultralord is in 5 minutes so I better go, Me: glad that over.Of course there is some J/C romance.Very good episode, one of my favorites^__^moreless
