Which is the usual for Season 1. Is it that different from episodes like "I Can Sea Sonic's Fear from Here" or "Give Bees a Chance"? I am just saying that every story has been used by now. The episode does use to a degree some creative thinking in introducing Muckfoot and in a sense Tails and Sticks reversed roles with Tails being interested in something with little basis of information and Sticks being the voice of reason. It's rather out of character for the both of them but at the same time it shows more interesting concepts of their personalities than just kid-genius and nutjob.

But thats all I can really compliment on this episode. It's still just a kid genius and paranoid nut. How is that out-of-character? Because Tails believes that Muckfoot is real? Tails should say that the creature doesn't exist so Sticks can believe that the creature is exist no matter what. It's usually Sticks with the crazy beliefs and conspiracies and Tails who is usually logical and reasonable. They switched it around a bit but not entirely, thats what I'm pointing out. It's OoC for them but not too much.

Actually, it is not entirely out of character for them: Tails is a science guy so he does not believe anything without evidence. Once he got what he believed was evidence he could go down this path with his trademark zeal. In other words, he went down Sticks' path in his own in-character way.

Sticks on the other hand is naturally suspicious and does not like people manipulating other people, like when Tails lied on television. This way, Sticks became a counterpoint to Tails' claims. In other words, she went down Tails' path in her own way.

I know, thats what I was pointing out why the Muckfoot story alone was decent because of such character arching.
