We Need To See What Debbie Thornberry Looks Like Today
Before I even get into this blog, I just need to mention that I went to the “Wild Thornberrys” wiki page and confirmed that Debbie Thornberry was 18-years-old so we’re good to go here.
I feel like Deb Thornberry might be one of the most overlooked characters in television history. Maybe it’s because at the time the show first aired I was only 6-years-old so crazy ass Donnie Thornberry was way more interesting to me than the absolute rocket launcher older sister. Hell, even quirky Eliza and her ability to talk to animals was the #2 character for me on that show. But looking back on it now? Boy oh boy I could not have been further off. Because Debbie Thornberry was CLEARLY the star of that show. Deb Thornberry was the baddest bitch on the block and she knew it.
Just a total missile who was all about that rock & roll lifestyle.
And now I’m a firm believer that cartoon characters don’t necessarily age while the show is still airing. So if Wild Thornberrys was on from 1998-2004, that means that Debbie Thornberry’s aging process really began on June 11, 2004. So that makes her what right now? 33? 34? All I’m saying is that I’d be heavily interested in seeing what Debbie Thornberry looks like today. Is there a chance that her rock & roll lifestyle would inevitably catch up to her and it would show? Maybe. But do I think there’s a greater chance that she just continues to get better with age? Absolutely.
Need a re-boot and we need it now.
