What do you guys and gals think of Joss Possible and Yori Yamanouchi (unless you all have a better last name for her, that's what I'm going with) becoming crime fighting partners like Kim and Ron?
Joss has already shown that she has the skills (although a bit in the raw stage) and Yori is a good ninja so, I think they could with Joss growing into a good partner of equal standing or surpassing Yori (she is a Possible after all).
I've been toying with the idea for a while as a possible story and would appreciate any feedback.

I was on same train with that for a while but Joss surpassing Yori? So not going to happen I mean she is a ninja and expert one now and i bet she isn't the one to sit around and wait for someone to become better then her.
The team could be equal to Ron/Kim.
Like the idea of tweebs jumping in too

I can see the tweebs becoming the 'Wade' for the Joss and Yori team. Such a team would certainly become as good as the Kim, Ron, Rufus, Wade team wouldn't it?
Kim has the ability to pick up new skills very quickly, so why not Joss as well?
I wonder what they'd even end up calling the team... Anyone with any name suggestions?

So, which one gets to be the buffoonish, incompetent sidekick ?
Certainly can't be Joss, for a Possible cannot be anything less than an omnicompetent and virtually infallible demigod of justice and light.
Nor can it be a well-trained ninja like Yori. May have to hire someone to be an incompetent buffoon, just so the Pattern established by Kim and Ron continues on.

I guess if someone had to be, why not Joss? Who says that she has to be omnicompetent and virtually infallible like her cousin Kim? Joss will need training and experience to catch up and Yori would make a good mentor for both. Still, who do you want to be the incompetent buffoon? Monique? One of the friends who Kim/Ron or an unknown friend that Joss knows? I doubt there are any buffoons at the Yamanouchi school. PS> Anyone hear of this dvd of a cartoon called "Cheer Squad"? The plot is that cheerleaders that save the world. Does this sound highly familiar or what?

Mmm... I really like this idea of this team, including the Tweebs as "The Wade". But for the record, I don't think there's a need to make it just like Team Possible and needing a buffonish sidekick just like that. There are other ways to stablish humor.
For example, while Yori is clearly experienced, Joss, while surely having a great potential, is still "raw", like they said. So I can see this team starting with Joss still being a newbee, and so, screwing it up often enough, but learning through the course of the chapter and eventually making it at the end. Yori would have a role of sidekick, tutor and frustrated partner all together. With that, I think the team can work a show on their own.
Well, ain't this a new idea for a Spin-Off? ;D

Well, ain't this a new idea for a Spin-Off? ;D You're right, there are other ways to establish humor without using a bumbling sidekick like Ron and as for what you wrote about Joss and Yori, that is pretty much how I had pictured their team at the beginning. They would even clash heads every once in a while over differences in ideas and philosophies as well as training methods. It would be an interesting team to watch wouldn't it? Not to mention all the neat gizmos that the tweebs would be sure to build for the two girls would be fun to watch. I'm sure they'd be much different than what Wade has or could build.

Can you imagine the tweebs going on the missions WITH Joss? After all, they don't seem like the kind who just sits around do they?
If Joss and Yori had the tweebs on the mission with them... bad guys wouldn't stand a chance! Even all of Team Go! (when they were evil)

People trying to take over the world and shooting lasers and such at him is NOT ENOUGH MOTIVATION to try his best ?! But, then again, why should anyone try their best, given that KP is pretty much better than everyone at everything ? Compared to her, an Olympic gymnast would look like a klutz. Heroes in the old days were the underdogs, needing every bit of skill and luck to defeat impossible odds; now we have characters handed every conceivable advantage 'fighting' witless villains that couldn't evil their way out of a paper bag. People really that desperate to see an endless string of effortless victories or something ? Ever notice than Ron is 'incompetent' only when Kim is around ? He's actually pretty good at the hero stuff when Kim either isn't present, or when she's unconscious. Either he's been conditioned to hold WWWAAAAAYYYYY back in her presence, or Kim is a karmic vampire (absorbs the initiative and skills of everyone within twenty feet of her. Which WOULD explain her kekkei genkai of reality subjugation : "Anything is possible for a Possible !" Thus her ability to gain critical successes from token effort.) "Anything is possible for a Possible !" Joss has the potential to be even GREATER than Kim, since Joss has Kim to give her pointers. (as Ron is now more powerful than Kim thanks to the MMP, and Hana is more powerful than Ron thanks to being The Weapon, shifting the focus to new characters a great idea; that way, no one has to deal with these power levels.) Yori is merely a highly trained mortal ninja; no real competition once the Possible kekkei genkai activates. (as Bonnie discovered in 'Hidden Talent' - all her hard work and talent were as NOTHING before the half-hearted occassional practice of KP, and instant improv of Ron !) I was asking 'who would get the job ?', assuming the writers would continue The Tradition that worked so well for 3.9 seasons. Yori may get the job foisted upon her, whether she wants or deserves it. After all, compared to a Possible, EVERYONE is an incompetent buffoon.

My wife was actually talking about this pairing the other day. I don't think it would work on quite the same level as the current Team Possible as Yori is Kim and Ron's age and Joss is essentially the same age as the tweebs. If Yori was in some sort of mentor / senior role it might work however. Having the Tweebs in for Wade is very clever and not an aspect I'd thought about.

One of the Tweebs probably will fall in love with Joss... I dunno, they are family so that'd be as Ron would say... "Wrong-sick" I can imagine one would fall for Yori as she is the more mature one and a hottie. What would be a disaster is BOTH twins falling for the same girl.

I think Joss and the tweebs would make amazing team too... as long as none of them got blasted by the attutindator! Lol! Imagine the chaos from THAT! Kim and Ron would probably have to step up and try to stop whoever was that got blasted without hurting them. Now wouldn't that be an amazing battle? (especially if all of the Joss/Yori/Tweebs team was turned evil?)

But, then again, why should anyone try their best, given that KP is pretty much better than everyone at everything ? Compared to her, an Olympic gymnast would look like a klutz. [glow=red,2,300]With Kim around, even the fear of having limbs blown off must be a thing in the back of his mind. Besides he is her best friend. Even if he was capable as she is (which I think she knows and is why she brings him along. She isn't stupid after all.) I seriously doubt he wants the limelight and is more than happy to let Kim lead the way.[/glow] Heroes in the old days were the underdogs, needing every bit of skill and luck to defeat impossible odds; now we have characters handed every conceivable advantage 'fighting' witless villains that couldn't evil their way out of a paper bag.

[glow=red,2,300]Ron is only incompetent because it is so much easier to be the slacker and he knows that Kim's competitive edge would only drive her to try and surpass him, possibly driving a wedge between them. He's smart enough to not allow that to happen. He only steps up when she can't or won't see so that she can't be angry at him or have that drive. Still, I like that kekkei genkai thing you mentioned. It is like having a card that gives KP +5 luck and skill when around bad guys. Lol![/glow] "Anything is possible for a Possible !" Joss has the potential to be even GREATER than Kim, since Joss has Kim to give her pointers.

(as Bonnie discovered in 'Hidden Talent' - all her hard work and talent were as NOTHING before the half-hearted occassional practice of KP, and instant improv of Ron !) [glow=red,2,300]With Yori, she could also develop new skills. With so little known about the ninja school, it is possible that she could come to know (if she already doesn't) how to do the lotus like attack that the Sensei knows how to do. So in that way, she could come to fill the 'Ron and his MMP' role in the partnership.[/glow] I was asking 'who would get the job ?', assuming the writers would continue The Tradition that worked so well for 3.9 seasons. Yori may get the job foisted upon her, whether she wants or deserves it. After all, compared to a Possible, EVERYONE is an incompetent buffoon. [glow=red,2,300]Lol, now that's not being fair. There are plenty of powerful and skilled people in the KP universe. Just none as deserving as KP right? [/glow]
