Your just taking exaggerations of situation, elements of fantastical in this fictional reality, and highlighting what I suppose could, MAYBE, possibly be interpreted as some sort of indication correct behavior-influencing factors of the reality we inhabit. The pointlessness of presenting it this way, as some sort of thing to be mumbled at in vague distress like, "oh look what our children are learning, hmm!" is that it's absolutely non-threatening fantasy television, and thereby any values to be inferred will come from the elements *shared* with our existence. Like, uh, conflict maybe? Overcoming obstacles, sometimes alone, but effectively with teamwork? Taking care of our loved ones? Zandor unfailing accepts every apology from his oft-captured flesh and blood, no matter how careless they might have been. Don't you get the sense that there's obviously been a lull in between the episodes of heated conflict that punctuate those characters lives? I don't think a forgiving man like Zandor begrudges his family's moments where they can be carefree and simple. And swag, nice post Don. Thanks for saving me the energy! It's 1:56 and I got lab tomorrow for PoB. Good night all. Nothing really personal 'Lorien1973', you just trash talked my show and I had to represent, lay it down know-wh'm-sayin'? This is how we be from 93' till' 11/8/93 swag swag! Man with the mind for the classics be out!

In order to attack the Endless Caverns properly, the Herculoids would have had to go in full force, thereby leaving their treehouse vulnerable to their many other enemies. Sure, they could have sent in a small detachment. However, after the initial victories, the Herculoids would have gotten bogged down in an effort to reconstruct the Endless Caverns and introduce democracy to the spider people. Meanwhile, the bad spider people would have gone into hiding and launched random strikes upon vulnerable targets, perhaps even picking off Dorno in one of his frequent careless moments, and Zandor would be left wondering whether it was worth it.
