So it's kind of obvious Pops and Mom Racer had Spritle Racer so Speed wouldn't grow up an only child after his brother Rex died/disappeared isn't it So if you could go back in time and undo Rex's tragic accident, Spritle wouldn't exist That's kinda fucked up

Why is his name "Spritle" That's not even a *word*, much less a name If it's from the word "sprite" why isn't his name "Sprite", were they afraid of getting sued by the soda company Just how busy was Pete Fernandez when he was churning this localization out at the last minute

I bring up the time travel thing because in Speed Racer: The Next Generation it's actually a major plot point that they go back in time to prevent the tragic accident that killed Trixie's father and caused her to become the twisted and evil Boss of the Shadow Committee

I feel like I have to spoil this completely bonkers plot point from Speed Racer TNG -- that the Big Bad turns out to be Trixie -- because it's so fucked up it's the main reason to have any interest in that show

Having the sequel pull the twist where the damsel-in-distress love interest becomes the villain is one of those things I wanna say was cool and subversive the very first time, and then with each subsequent iteration just comes off as more unfortunate and misogynist
