I remember there being an animated Lone Ranger show in the 80s and even a live action movie. I know it wasn't super popular, but that could explain for keeping that reference in this version.
Well, I recall that Lone Ranger movie in 1981 that was a huge flop (Klintin Spilsbury was is the star if that tells you anything about the effect that movie had on the actor’s career - I don’t think he ever made another movie). Wasn’t aware of a cartoon until you brought it up, but it looks like it only ran 1980-1982 – so still seems a bit out of date for kids who would’ve only been three or four at the time. But who knows? Good catches.
