If one thinks about it, Global Justice's investigation of the Ron Factor was going in the wrong direction. It's quite likely The Ron Factor wasn't just some intangible aspect of Ron's mental or physical attributes. It was probably due to the as yet unrealized and subtle influences of Mystical Monkey Power.

Here's a question for the group.
Which is better? To know 16 different forms of Kung Fu or to be a Master in only one form?
I recently wrote a chapter for a story that had many different opinions stated in some reviews on this question and I was just wondering what the opinions were here.

I recently wrote a chapter for a story that had many different opinions stated in some reviews on this question and I was just wondering what the opinions were here. Well, I would think being a master at only one. If you knew 16 styles of kung fu, I would guess you wouldn't be a master of all 16. So you wouldn't know all there is to know. Being a master at one says you know every bit there is to know about that one form.

"Jack of all Trades, Master of None, but better than a Master of One"
Even if you focus on mastering a single style, it's important to at least know a few alternatives. After all, pigeon holing into one single style will get you screwed when you run into your counter - especially your hard counter. There's a reason why specialized/gimmick subfactions in RTS games tend to be very hit or miss unless they also get enough of other elements to at least have something to fill in the gap. If you specialize, you open yourself up to more hard counters then spreading out your skills, which turns some of them into soft counters (IE they counter your main shtick, but you have something to counter back)
As to the Ron Factor - even if it's just a study of drunken style of kung fu mistaken as intangibles, I mostly objected to it because it well... tore at Kim's agency. No Kim isn't the heroine she is because of her numerous personal abilities, it's the sidekick who sometimes doesn't even do much. I mean Ron is underestimate and overlooked far too often, make no doubt about it, but to say he's the sole reason for Kim's success is... dubious, at best.
Of course the real secret to Team Possible is what Shego figured out in ASIT - as a team they're solid. They can cover each other's problems so the strengths shine through. Any of them would be far less effective on their own, but there should be no doubt that they're capable on their own. Synergy is a thing.

But 'sadly' the Green Hotnes's own Ignorance and apathy about their synergy led to her down fall. You Remember " Don't know, Don't care!!!!!"

"Why" was what she didn't care about - she seemed to recognize that it happened, hence sending Ron as far away as possible. She just didn't care for the mechanics as long as she shut down the effect.

That's still a fatal enough mistake. never underestimate 'ANYTHING" about your adversary. It will lead to your down fall.

I would have to disagree with you on this one. If that were to apply then if Kim and Master Sensei were to fight the same way Kim and her Nana fought at the end of "The Golden Years," then Kim would win. Quote from a reader. "A point needs to be made here. A MASTER of an art knows the ins and outs of that art completely. Compare this to someone who has 16 black belts. As a martial arts master (and NOT one of the top ones BTW) I will say this; earning a black belt means you have learned the basics of that art. It doesn't mean you are capable of going head to head with the 'top dog' of another art. Usually it means you are dead meat if you do and are at his mercy."

Never forget that Bruce lee incorporated different styles to create jeet kun doe. He is still what all martial artists are measured against.

I always liked Ron Stoppable. He was always so funny. He may have been a bit clumsy but he was always excellent in helping Kim with her missions. I was so happy that Ron was Kim's true boyfriend all along! She just didn't know it until "So The Drama". Ron & Kim will always be my favorite duo/couple!!!
