The premise of the show is genuinely terrifying. People are basically living in a post cyber-covid world where *any living thing* can randomly get akira'd for no reason and the "cure" was either get killed or contained, or literally just from one guy who can only do so much (and if ones unlucky they might be uncurable anyway), and to think this was in a kid-friendly channel lmao
@@zaconthemonster8222 yo if your talkin about ben 10 ben 10 classic af ua omniverse were the best shows in the ben 10 franchise and were amazing so i wouldnt call them a disappointment
Some of the best shows come from people who are given free range on concepts dont they? What sucks is this show never got the hype it deserved, like I still want to know more about the events that lead up to the nanite event and even how the world is recovering after its wild. Also full episodes are on internet archive if anyone was wanting to get back into the show
I feel like the looser the grip on directors and producers the more amazing results. When the studio’s get involved it gets toxic and muddy to where u get a spongebob or ttg situation.
@@lucasoliveirafrancisco6868 I know I know, just more detail. I’m a sucker for how well the show does it’s “lore” - does it count as lore? Lol I want to know more about Rex’s parents and just how everyone interacted before they go all messed up from the event. I mean Rex has been a completely different person because of his amnesia before so like how was he as a kid? What was the accident that pretty much killed him specifically? Ah I went on a tangent sorry for the spam lol I’m just desperate for more content about the show.
People saying that this show needed as much love as Ben 10, but I think it deserved more. I'm a huge Ben 10 fan myself, but Generator Rex has a much better plotline, action sequences, consistent lore, a brilliantly well done villain, and not to mention the most gorgeous 2D animation in Cartoon Network at the time. This show needs recognition ASAP
Both of them deserve better. But unfortunately something "stays in the grave" is better off. I don't have the resources to make this better in the moment.
Generater Rex....was a masterpiece. Too bad and its AWFUL that most people in the world don't know about it. This show is too good and well executed. Seeing the fanbase still alive and this video getting huge 400,000 views at this date alone proves my point.
I think part of it was, there was another monster of the week show that had already built up it's fanbase... Ben 10 Ultimate Alien was airing on the same network at the time if I remember correctly. They even had a cross over episode with these shows! I used to actually hate seeing Generator Rex on because I loved Ben 10 so much at the time. Really glad now it's more like that whole "OMG! 2 cakes!" deal.
@@Vespidazed Yes I remember I also hated generator Rex because I liked Ben 10 more at that time. I would skip the parts of Rex to see Ben 10 only. After I saw kuro's video "5 cartoons that deserve more love" I got to know about GR. Now i think it's better than Ben 10. Time's have changed.
You’re not wrong. When it spreads, the visual is about how it feels on the inside. I had Stage IV Hodgkins Lymphoma a few years back and the visuals in the beginning was how it felt when it was breaking down my back. Luckily it worked out in the end but it’s insane how close to accurate this visual is to the feeling of Cancer.
@@GamingForceEx Yeah I just watched the whole show recently but as a child I don't know why I was not that interested in this show I guess there's time for everything
It's like Cartoon Network in the late 2000s to the mid 2010s knew that the audience they built up throughout the 90s and 2000s were growing up and becoming teenagers and young adults so they started releasing shows that were aimed at that growing audience. Shows like Generator Rex, Regular Show, Sym-Bionic Titan, The Amazing World of Gumball etc.
Well Ben 10 was made by the same company that being Man If Action plus cartoon network basically did this as a desperate attempt to popularize the show since they were kinda silently putting down the show.
Words can't express how much I love this show. I know that merch wasn't selling well so the show didn't get much spotlight, but it's one of the best action cartoons out there! Where did we fail as a society?
I would say it wasn't marketed good enough because I am seeing it for the first time and it looks good I wonder how it slept past my radar when I was like 10
I feel like they took this show and took it serious. For the love of the older kids we need to bring this back to Cartoon Network. This show felt scary and mature.

I always considered the original to be what kid Rex thought would be cool, not realizing how dangerous it would be, and the second version is what the scientists actually intended for him to have.
Now CN is falling apart. Sure it has a handful of good shows now, but what about the immense library of great shows from the past?

Hey remember that Doctor Holiday's sister was also an EVO and Rex was unable to cure her but in one episode somehow they managed to cure her it was such a nice moment
dude wtf this cartoon existed in the deepest darkest recesses of my mind until I saw this video pop up in my recommended. I didn't much care for it so guess that's why I forgot about it so easily.

@Jackin Off • 69 years ago nah, eatle's metal eating abilities, clockwork's time rays, feedback's energy absorption can defeat and destroy him, even rex with his omega form can easily destroy alpha malware. that is while not talking about ben.
@Jackin Off • 69 years ago you stop with your own fuckin bs and fanfiction. ben won't stop from destroying a monster which is gonna destroy anything cause of an other kid losing his hero power. ben can instantly transform and kill omega if he is serious and angered enough. in fact he commits murder by destroying those stone creatures who are alive and sentient, he was gonna kill kevin, he was hurting his students for training and he didn't hesitate to kill rook's master. malware and omega aren't that strong really.
God- remember this? Remember the Ben ten crossover that was hinted at by the omnitrix sound then happened- remember when animations weren't being sh@t out for money and prying off of small children who are fascinated with moving colours- and animators were passionate without having to be making adult cartoons or anime. Oh those were the days
tbh yea I feel like ben 10 classic did it better this one they kinda do it every time but then again makes the Evos feel more mutated and not a power-up form

Have you guys ever seen Akira. If you haven’t I think Rex is a mixture of Kaneda and Tetsuo from the Anime Akira. All though I gotta say Akira is very gruesome so be warned. 🤟🏾✌️
I'm glad this video reminded me of the existence of this. This was made around the same time as ben 10 ultimate alien and both were great to watch when I was younger. Too bad that since then most shows are only made to advertise and sell toys.

Hey remember that Doctor Holiday's sister was also an EVO and Rex was unable to cure her but in one episode somehow they managed to cure her it was such a nice moment
My favorite show hands down. So happy it’s getting some attention again :)
dude wtf this cartoon existed in the deepest darkest recesses of my mind until I saw this video pop up in my recommended. I didn't much care for it so guess that's why I forgot about it so easily.
WATCH it pleaseeeee give it a chance
Why this show didn’t take off like ben 10 is crazy to me. Used to love this show! It was different
Yeah, the show didn't generate enough marketable toy designs
Rex had the most unique superpowers ever
Nano his superpowers
I loved this show when i was a kid. No one talks about it anymore.
This was literally one of my favorite shows back when it aired on Cartoon Network-
The crossover with Ben 10 was so fun-
Like literally one of my childhood shows.
This and alot of Jetix cartoons
i have to say this show had one of the coolest sci fi concepts of all time
Well,isn't it same like alien force highbred arc?
When Cartoon Network was still worth watching.
Those were the freakin days man 😌
I feel bad that kids now can't grow up with this anymore 😔
@@freezie828 Amazing World of Gumball, Teen Titans GO, Craig if the Creek, Total Dramarama, Victor and Valentino, Apple and Onion. Are you saying this garbage is better than Ben 10 (entire franchise before reboot), Teen Titans (original), Young Justice, Generator Rex, Codename Kids Next Door, Johnny Test, American Dragon, ECT...???
Are you on something my guy?!?
If I misunderstood then please do enlighten me
@@Ultra6868 well amazing world of gumball is a good show and so is regular show
@@fhinpus Gumball is literally just a kids version of Robot Chicken, I hate it, it's ridiculous, and there's no point in watching it. I'll only agree on Regular show being good
@@Ultra6868🤡
@@Ultra6868some those shows are ass
Ahh, Generator Rex: The Show That Got Me into Anime.
Like Steven Universe, But With Balls
Edit: I Called it an anime Due To Evangelion Vibes I get from this show
What I ment is Poor Steven Universe Wished it was this Dope being the RIP OFF it is.
Corrupted Gems = EVOs
Bro this is way better than Steven Universe.
Are people calling this an anime now? 😂
@@TheNobleFive Read again
@@TheNobleFive But this is actually anime if you think about it tho.. Anime basically means animation and refers to any animated work.
@@nyannyan443 anime is a artstyle so this almost fits the bill but not yet
This was ahead of there time
Reminds me of invincible
This is straight body horror they showed this on kid programs?? I wish I saw this on CN as a kid I would have both been terrified and LOVED it
This series has aged like a Fine Wine🔥🔥 I especially loved when Rex and Van Kleiss's Rivalry!! Also,A Beautiful Doctor,Swordsman Guardian,and a Talking Chimp who shoots lasers is Always an Amazing addition to this cool world🔥🔥🤘🏾
SCP foundation in a nutshell
What how?
@@conradlorgar5508 Organization that keeps wierd and dangerous stuff contained? Rings a bell?
@@thinblueline2564 they dont though they are more like the GOC since they just neutralise them not contain them
@@conradlorgar5508 they both are like providence monsters rex can't cure get taken to be contained in what is basically a zoo providence doesn't kill evos anymore unless absolutely necessary and thats if they can't be cured and are too big to be contained.
@@jacobweatherford4696 and they nuke cities
Bro im so glad this came up in my recommended. I completely forgot this master piece of a show existed. Its so good like how Ben 10 was at the time
Watching this now, I'm surprised this show didn't disturb me as a kid
I THOUGHT I IMAGINED THIS SHOW!
thanks for the name and reminder
The plot is epic and the animators put in a lot of love into it.
This was incredible. I still find that I enjoy it even now
I remember staying up at night till the morning to watch the episodes of this on Cartoon Network
I just randomly thought of this show after like 12 years. I forgot this shit slapped
this show was HELLA terrifying for all the mutation stuff it dealt with. but HEY it was still amazing!
I'm so excited for Rex showing up in Ben 10 special!
@daddy, no • 69 years ago I mean yeah, but now we're supposed to get to see Rex in Ben 10 universe
@Jackin Off • 69 years ago it will happen on reboot and not unstoppable really.
@Jackin Off • 69 years ago still no. a petrosaipen, conductoid, chronosapien and much more species can easily defeat him.
@Jackin Off • 69 years ago nah, eatle's metal eating abilities, clockwork's time rays, feedback's energy absorption can defeat and destroy him, even rex with his omega form can easily destroy alpha malware. that is while not talking about ben.
@Jackin Off • 69 years ago you stop with your own fuckin bs and fanfiction. ben won't stop from destroying a monster which is gonna destroy anything cause of an other kid losing his hero power. ben can instantly transform and kill omega if he is serious and angered enough. in fact he commits murder by destroying those stone creatures who are alive and sentient, he was gonna kill kevin, he was hurting his students for training and he didn't hesitate to kill rook's master. malware and omega aren't that strong really.
Loved this cartoon. A childhood gem rewatched as an adult.
It’s amazing how they have their clothes still intact after revert from an evo
This transformations low key remind me of resident evil
It surprises me that 1 million fans are still remembering this including me
I love you no homo
I owe a large part of what I find cool to this show and, boy, am I glad!
Ooohhh damnn. THIS IS GOATED!! Underrated total nostalgic
This show is a lot darker than I remember
God- remember this? Remember the Ben ten crossover that was hinted at by the omnitrix sound then happened- remember when animations weren't being sh@t out for money and prying off of small children who are fascinated with moving colours- and animators were passionate without having to be making adult cartoons or anime. Oh those were the days
I really wish this show was on Netflix. It was great. And Van Kleiss was seriously an OP villain.
This show needs to be on a streaming service that I already have and don't have to pay extra for
Too much body horror for one kids show.
tbh yea I feel like ben 10 classic did it better this one they kinda do it every time but then again makes the Evos feel more mutated and not a power-up form
SHUT THE FUCK UP SNOW FLAKE ITS BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU WE DONT HAVE GOOD CARTOONS ANYMORE
@@Glyph69 bro just stfu. YOU ARE the reason we dont get these kinds of cartoons, you people just are so incredibly toxic that CN went all kidfriendly more than ever. You toxic people ruined it yourselves, stop blaming others.
@@gamingnubs7628 bro they don't care about how toxic people are. They care only about ratings and if people are complaining about the show then they'll stop the show.
@@oranjpeelz6918 reread that last part and think deeply. You'll understand.
This felt like an anime to me as kid
I always thought this was an anime lol
Same. This and Ben 10
Had the same type of vibe to it
Have you guys ever seen Akira. If you haven’t I think Rex is a mixture of Kaneda and Tetsuo from the Anime Akira. All though I gotta say Akira is very gruesome so be warned. 🤟🏾✌️
I'll choose this over any anime
It was an anime, in the spirit that it had a consistent plot, good animation, and it felt as if love and effort was put into it
one of the few cartoons that actually got my hyped when i was a kid, it really sucks i never got to see it all lol
0:45 every time I saw that stuff pop up growing up I started itching. Nice to see it still hasn't changed that and my love for the show
Pretty cool they basically did body horror for kids
This show was fire beyond imagination
"Frostbite" episode was scary and dark for me as a kid. I used to be scared seeing Rex in pain and agony
Ive been searching for this for a while, vauge memories from my childhood.
I can't believe I absolutely slept on this show. So underrated.
“I have it down to a science”
Science proceeds to be down for him
Ooh so that's what cancer looks like rip.
It’s freaky as hell
The very last show I loved on CN.
2:25 Idle Transfiguration..
For real
man this show was so underrated and its such a shame it got canceled. it had some pretty good music too.
I'm glad this video reminded me of the existence of this. This was made around the same time as ben 10 ultimate alien and both were great to watch when I was younger. Too bad that since then most shows are only made to advertise and sell toys.
i just remembered this... i don’t know how i forgot about this show
This show kinda freaked me out as a kid but I still loved it nevertheless
1:55 Me doing thousands of calculation in the last 5 minutes and they are all wrong.
LMFAO
I finally found the title of my childhood sci-fi cartoon. Thank you very much.
Wait why didn't I remember this series?
Like I remember know how much that gas scene scared me as a kid.
