I will not stand for this Reboot slander. Being one of the first fully CG animated shows to exist of course it wasn't going to hold up to modern standards. But for the time it was a pretty big deal and it paved the way for so many shows that came after. Still one of my favorite shows.
Hello Fellow Humans, I was born in 1983. So I totally remember these. I had to tell my kids that we couldn't skip intros and you can't fast forward commercials and they were 3-5 minutes long. Kids have it so easy today.
Can't get over the kid quoting Darkwing Duck while watching the Gargoyles clip. XD And all of them thinking the Gargoyles were scary. My Dudes. They were the heroes. And I'm suddenly feeling very protective of Reboot. Like damn. Megabyte and Hexadecimal were awesome villains.
@@GuardianAngel.. Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z were definitely a top favorite for me growing up but gargoyles was great the comedic relief when it needed to and totally serious and great storyline/character development definitely recommend to anyone who hasn't watched.
@@alexgaspar2525 Yep, speaking of Gargoyles did You happen to watch the three part episode titled Hunter’s Moon that was the episode that predicted the pandemic?
I'm surprised Adventures of the Gummi Bears wasn't listed! I loved everything that was medieval / classic fantasy. There was a 1hr block were they would play Care Bears and Gummi Bears together. I can't believe I still remember that 35 years later.
@@ethanr2202 YES! Those too! I didn't forget about them, I just can't spend my whole day listing them all! 😂 People should keep listing the ones I missed though. I need more hits of that sweet sweet nostalgia 😅 Thank you for reminding me again
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe was also turned into a live-action movie called Masters of the Universe starring actor Dolph Lundgren & Courteney Cox (of TV's friends) in the 80s, the spin-off of He-Man is She-Ra and the Princess of Power she is he-man's sister.
Reboot was the first all CGI animated cartoon for Saturday morning, no other cartoon up to then was all computer animated. The whole show takes place inside a computer. This show was very popular when it first came out.
Gargoyles is a 10/10. There is no room for negotiation. Also, GI Joe is an action figure not a doll. They should have had thunder cats. Still the greatest cartoon into of all time.
oh God, YES! Thundercats should be in this too! it's part of the trifecta of 80s cartoons, at least here: Thundercats, He-Man and the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon (which is still a huge hit here in Brazil)!
Let's be truthful here, fellas, action figures are just better-articulated, poseable "dolls for boys" (notwithstanding the craziness surrounding the releases of the Cabbage Patch Kids & My Buddy).
Reboot was such a weird show but a fun and original concept. You know they weren't around in the 90s when they were surprised to see Steven Spielberg's name on a cartoon. Swat Kats would've been a good one
"They should just teach school through The Magic School Bus." - My 5th grade science was basically Magic School Bus. In Middle School, it was Bill Nye the Science Guy.
I was literally about to say that elementary through early high school was taught through MSB and Bill Nye. The only thing that changed was John Green’s Crash Course got big when I was in high school, so Crash Course would teach history while Bill Nye and occasionally MSB taught science.
Reboot is a great computer animation. It came out in a time when more and more animation went from drawing by hand to computer (3D) animation. As the storyline involves computers, the internet and related things, it all came together. In that time other great computer animations came out: 'Transformers - Beast Wars' later 'Beast Machines' and Shadow Raiders.' Reboot may look dated, but begin 90's computers weren't as powerfull as today (rendering costed a lot of time), graphics weren't as advanced and they had to do a lot animation by hand and write special software to get things done. As today graphics are near realistic, a lot is automated in animation, we even got AI to help.
It's funny that they comment on reboot like it looks so terrible and bad, not realizing that the animation style was revolutionary for its time. They are used to so much better animtaion techniques they just not realize what they just watched
How is Gargoyles Scary? It's one of the greatest cartoons ever made. You should actually have these kids actually sit down and watch an episode of these shows, instead of just watching intros. Actually sit down and watch an episode, then give their opinion on it
These kids are lost, Gargoyles looks scary? if only they knew, a show that shows culture, conflict (physical and internal) love, fear, plot twists messaging without talking down to its audience, and finally a great cast.
Gargoyles had way too amazing a story line for a kids show. It was honestly one of the first show where I every empathized with the Antagonist. Demona and Goliath was so much more dimensional then most modern adult TV shows. And even its stereotypes it made in to make them relatable they broke and it felt worhwhile. Damn now I want to watch it again.
20:58 "His voice sounds like Mufasa" He actually voiced Mufasa in various video games, but he's more well known for this, and Dr. Facilier in "The Princess and the Frog".
These kids man. I'm here for ReBoot and Gargoyles justice. It's such a shame that kids these days don't get shows with actually engaging stories. I get they are judging them on very superficial aspects for such a short video, but damn those two shows are so good. Gargoyles still holds up today (mostly).
Well, these are teens (even though they seem so much younger)... I was getting worked up at the shit talk they were giving Reboot before I had to consider what they grew up with. Reboot walked so that these kids could have shows that could run. That they can even shit talk Reboot means that Reboot did a good job.
"They should just teach school though the magic school bus"... if only she knew. In the 90s and early 2000s if you saw a TV on that tall cart thing (no clue what else to call it, but its all good because you just pictured it in your head) in your science class you knew you were probably about to be watching Bill Nye or The Magic School bus.
i got the sense that she said that because they still show the magic school bus in school and she was joking that it should be the main form of teaching. i think that's also why they all knew the show.
Reboot was literally an unheard of idea... an entire show done in CG was literally too expensive a proposition at the time. A Canadian CG company, Mainframe, proved them wrong. To Mainframe's credit, each season the animation and character models got better. Bonus points for being educational on computer jargon, game cliches, and embracing the uncanny valley creepiness.
Have these teens been living under a rock to not know the names of the turtles? This franchise has had so many adaptations over the years with a movie as recent as 2023. Even if they’re not familiar with 80’s cartoon version, they would’ve come across the later adaptations at some point.
5:29 - "I would hit 'skip intro'." LOL! Sorry honey, when these were on, it was live TV; there was no 'skip intro' option. You watched the whole song, and memorized it by osmosis against your will. ;)
Pretty solid choices all around. Love that you put Gargoyles in there, awesome show! The only change I would make is that instead of the Mighty Ducks, I would have thrown in Darkwing Duck. It was short-lived but great!
ThunderCats, Brave Star, FraggleRock, Defenders of The Earth, Johnny Quest, Thundar The Barbarian, She-Ra, Garfield, Duck Tales, Smurfs, Danger Mouse, Jetsons and Flintstones
Gargoyles is soooo good! It has humans being prejudice about gargoyles and them are trying to feel at home. Even when they are proving they are not a threat to humanity, humans still are afraid of them. But one officer lady are trying to help them as much as she can. I like the human Vs. monsters theme, because show who is the real monster: the humans. But the gargoyles are aware that exist good humans and they can trust.
I watched so many cartoons in the 80s and 90s . The Real Ghostbusters, Thundercats, DuckTales, Tale Spin, Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers, Bonkers, Tom and Jerry Kids, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Gummi Bears, Recess, Doug, Pepper Ann, Inspector Gadget, Tiny Toons Animaniacs, X-Men, Darkwing Duck, Magic School Bus. Best Time being a kid.
Man, there are so many to choose from. Galaxy Rangers, Bravestar, Silver Hawks, Thundercats, Biker Mice From Mars, Captain Simian & The Space Monkeys, Earthworm Jim, Dungeons & Dragons, Smurfs, Snorks, Men in Black, Godzilla, Extreme Ghostbusters, Bionic Six and so many more. A lot of great memories. And Gargoyles was the best.
I feel like when you say Captain Simeon and the space monkeys you're supposed to get all loud and echoey or the space monkey part. This is from vague reculations though
Y'all are sleepin' on ReBoot. Also, how could we not include Carmen Sandiego. She not only had an animated series, but also a gameshow and a number of video/PC games. Plus, she was educational.💜
Strange. I remember these being the after school cartoons, not really the Saturday morning cartoons. But that might be because of where I lived. But one big one that may be missing is the Gummi Bears. It would come on after I had to leave for school so I'd use our VHS recorder to record every show so I could watch it after school. I still have that VHS tape, lol.
Well, Craig Bartlett (developer of the Penny claymation cartoons on Pee-Wee's Playhouse, sporadic episode story writer & Angelica Pickles' co-creator [collaborating with Paul Germain] on Rugrats, the series creator of Hey Arnold & Dinosaur Train, story editor on Sid the Science Kid, etc.) is married to Lisa Groening (Matt Groening's elder sister & the source inspiration for Lisa Simpson) and just as Klasky-Cuspo animated the first 10 seasons of The Simpsons, Craig Bartlett in the '80s/early 90's (before Hey Arnold became a Nicktoon in 1996 following the Football Head's introduction in 3 claymation shorts that aired routinely on Sesame Street & a theatrical episode pilot in 1995 [which was reworked into the season 1 episode "24 Hours to Live"] that was aired before the '90s film adaptation of the kid's book Harriet the Spy, starring Michelle Trachtenberg as the main character) was one of the creative minds who worked alongside Jim Henson's crew of Muppeteers on the '80s/'90s episodes of Sesame Street (in fact, his connection to Pee-Wee's Playhouse & The Simpsons led to both Pee-Wee Herman & the titular animated radioactive family of Springfield making celebrity cameos on the long-running childhood institution preschool show).
Haha they thought that Animaniacs joke was inappropriate, oh they should watch the whole series! They got away with so much! Gargoyles was one of the best cartoons ever, yes it was dark and could be scary and dealt with some heavy topics (anyone remember the gun safety episode?) but that's why it was so good! I hope some of them do watch these cartoons (I know some are either unavailable or have limited streaming options which sucks!), I think they'd like them
Reboot was created with a program called "3D Studio Max" . It was super groundbreaking at the time, and the program is still relevant. But it is used mostly to create animated logos and things like that, these days.
Its the same people who made the music video for "Money For Nothing" by Dire Straits and they are directly responsible for DECADES of advancement in CGI. Yeah season one looks stiff by modern standards, but its phenomenal how far they came in 9 years from that video. Then they tripled that progress in just 8 more years. Probably the only larger advancement is what happened with blender, but we don't talk about that...
These kids mocking ReBoot hurt my soul. That was such a good show growing up! The "low budget CGI" was partly intentional, since the characters were supposed to be the AIs that play the roles in literally every video game of the 90s (when someone would start a new game, they'd be sucked into it and have to play the roles to escape). So they were meant to look like the models of game characters of their time.
I found a couple of episodes of Batman TAS to be scary but still watched them and loved them. Gargoyles not as much it did not have the body horror that really creeped me out as a pre-teen to early teen.
Seriously, I feel like they needed context. Considering it was one of the first computer animated series and came out the year before Toy Story. Between that and Beast Wars, Mainframe was pretty cutting edge even if the visuals look kind of rough by today's standards.
I loved Gargoyles. So good. They absolutely should have used Magic School Bus and Schoolhouse Rock for everything. My all time favorite cartoon back then (i was born in 85) was X-Men. The best cartoon there was. I loved Captain Planet too, but I won't argue it was the best. 😂
The two girls gave Ninja turtles 10 out of 10 their dads raised them right . The rest of them need to binge watch all of the Ninja turtle cartoons from 1987 to 1996
Gave me "the good feeling" only after seeing the first like... 2-4 episodes? maybe it was just the first two. Not many shows gave me that feeling back then. Definitely one of the top of the era. Even the second season was not bad. But the 3rd (and final) one? urrrrgh.
It was good till the last season where they changed the crew. The season called Goliath Chronicles. That's season 3. Even that season has like 1 or 2 ok episodes but it's a show You can consider over after the Oberon stuff
I'm sorry i had to mute the Care Bears theme... NOT getting that song stuck in my head again... other than that, I was SHOCKED that these teens didn't know half these shows! My childhood just got insulted! And to call TMNT a 4/10, and ReBoot a 1/10? OUCH! What I loved the most though is the fact that these teens found Animaniacs inappropriate (have you READ the lyrics of your music?) or found Gargoyles scary... Wow...
The host let these kids look ridiculous. The guys would have told them important information about the cartoons. Like the fact that GI Joe is the whole organization, not just one guy. Also they would have explained that back then 3D animation was brand new in the 90's, and Reboot was actually very expensive to make then.
1) not all of them were on Saturday mornings. They were after school shows. 2) mighty ducks was awesome! 3) these kids wouldnt survive in the 80s/90s 4) lucas has no taste lol
“I would skip the intro”… Girl, we couldn’t. And the reason intros back then were so long was a fairly good one. Once you knew your show was coming on, you often needed time to get from the kitchen or the bathroom to the TV room and settle in and you couldn’t just pause it or skip it.
ReBoot was the first computer animated tv show!!! You can't bash them for being the first!!! That show was the best show ever. Great characters, unique plots, tons of references, action and comedy. And of course the best villains.
"Super hero ducks playing hockey..? That's so random." Welcome to 80s/90s cartoons, kid! It also had nothing to do with the Mighty Ducks live action movie. It's super random, indeed.
@NoNames-vw3bq i meant besides the name and hockey element. There are no alien superhero ducks in the movie. It's just about a kids' hockey team. They are connected in name and logo alone.
Someone should point out we didn't have PG-13 until mid-84 (Red Dawn was the first). Our PG-13 would likely be R now. The cartoons varied from dark and wild, to bright and happy; it was nice to have the variety as you grew out of one cartoon type and into another. Sad they didn't watch snippets of the shows; while you get the story through the intro, you don't get a good feel for the overall cartoon.
“They should call it Warner Siblings”. It’s called Warner Brothers because it was started by not two brothers, not three brothers but four brothers called Warner. It’s not a name they just pulled from thin air that shouldn’t offend your sensibilities. It was four brothers and that’s why they called it that.
@@Dreyno the cartoon characters are yakko Warner wakko Warner and dot Warner and in the intro song it says “come join the Warner brothers (and the Warner sister too)” which is obviously a tongue in cheek reference to the Warner brothers company but it’s specifically referencing the three siblings in the show, not the four brothers who founded WB. This topic did not need this much exposition in the first place
@@treas7400 In my opinion they critiqued the name of the company. Your reading of it is slightly obtuse. I don’t think that is what they were saying. My response was a simple recourse to fact. You challenged me on it. I suppose I could’ve ignored it or maybe agreed against my better judgment but I don’t think it’s remiss to restate my case.
@@Dreyno they made the statement right after the line “join the Warner brothers and the Warner sister too” There is simply only one way to interpret the statement given the timing and context
You can definitely see the difference in the generations.... These kids absolutely destroyed Reboot because of the crappy 3D animation, by today's standards. What they fail to realize is that 'that' 3D animation, at the time, was absolutely groundbreaking to be doing on a kid's weekly tv show. Reboot is the only one of those series shown in this video, that had a non-episodic episode order with an over-arcing storyline, much like a novel. It's sad to see Reboot being given a 0/10, and Muppet Babies a 10/10. It really speak to the short attention spans of this generation. As Saturday Morning cartoons evolved over the decades, it has gone from hour long programs with detailed storylines, to half hour programs that are really just 8 short 3-minute long animations all strung together in rapid pace. Modern animation is more about keeping the kid's attention on the screen every possible second, so they shorten the storylines to absurd few minute long sequences that can't really ever dive into anything of substance.... it's just bursts of color, songs and fast edits to trick the child into believing they actually just watched something. Give me the days of Reboot, Robotech, Scooby Doo Mysteries and other series that assumed kids could hold it together for stories that were more than just 'teletubies for older kids
I will not stand for this Reboot slander. Being one of the first fully CG animated shows to exist of course it wasn't going to hold up to modern standards. But for the time it was a pretty big deal and it paved the way for so many shows that came after. Still one of my favorite shows.
It creeped me out lol
To quote Enzo, “It was Alphanumeric!”
Agreed! Kids these days are so spoiled. Sometimes, the story is better than the animation, especially for a weekly show that is 25+ years old.
They should have showed them Beast Wars too
@@topazrandoms8898 love Beast Wars. 3 great seasons. We don't talk about it's sequel though. [Shudders]

They would take a massive dump on Carmen Sandiego as well.
Unfortunately.
Hit that like button if you watched Beast Wars, Biker Mice from Mars, and Mummies Alive! as a kid.
@frommany21 I also loved Histeria. I got yelled at by my parents during the historical re-enactment for turning the volume all the way up 😂
Gargoyles was literally THAT show back in the day!!! I still got the vhs tapes of it!
A real life movie is in the works or was prior to 2020 plague. So far no new updates.😢
Strange. I remember these being the after school cartoons, not really the Saturday morning cartoons. But that might be because of where I lived.
But one big one that may be missing is the Gummi Bears. It would come on after I had to leave for school so I'd use our VHS recorder to record every show so I could watch it after school. I still have that VHS tape, lol.
"Rates Gargoyles a 3" *Hundreds of thousands of former 80s kids' eyes flash with rage and set out on the hunt*
This has to get a volume 2! Next episode must have X-Men and Thundercats!
You guys didn’t wanna blow their minds with the greatness of the TMNT intro huh? I get it..
@@matthewcraddock1462 🤣
When she said Muppet Babies & Rugrats were basically the same thing, I felt my soul escape my body. If they only knew.
Well, Craig Bartlett (developer of the Penny claymation cartoons on Pee-Wee's Playhouse, sporadic episode story writer & Angelica Pickles' co-creator [collaborating with Paul Germain] on Rugrats, the series creator of Hey Arnold & Dinosaur Train, story editor on Sid the Science Kid, etc.) is married to Lisa Groening (Matt Groening's elder sister & the source inspiration for Lisa Simpson) and just as Klasky-Cuspo animated the first 10 seasons of The Simpsons, Craig Bartlett in the '80s/early 90's (before Hey Arnold became a Nicktoon in 1996 following the Football Head's introduction in 3 claymation shorts that aired routinely on Sesame Street & a theatrical episode pilot in 1995 [which was reworked into the season 1 episode "24 Hours to Live"] that was aired before the '90s film adaptation of the kid's book Harriet the Spy, starring Michelle Trachtenberg as the main character) was one of the creative minds who worked alongside Jim Henson's crew of Muppeteers on the '80s/'90s episodes of Sesame Street (in fact, his connection to Pee-Wee's Playhouse & The Simpsons led to both Pee-Wee Herman & the titular animated radioactive family of Springfield making celebrity cameos on the long-running childhood institution preschool show).
Haha they thought that Animaniacs joke was inappropriate, oh they should watch the whole series! They got away with so much!
Gargoyles was one of the best cartoons ever, yes it was dark and could be scary and dealt with some heavy topics (anyone remember the gun safety episode?) but that's why it was so good! I hope some of them do watch these cartoons (I know some are either unavailable or have limited streaming options which sucks!), I think they'd like them
Gargoyles is still one of my favorite series. It was so well written.
Gargoyles was awesome. I used to watch it when the little one i baby sat on weekends was napping my final year of high school.
The theme song alone from Gargoyles was just so epic. It was also very beautiful and very powerful too.
@@kevinstull8552 It could just be nostalgia but it seems like theme songs of the 80s and 90s were the peak.
I got offended by their reaction for ReBoot. Hey, it was the early 90s and it was innovative at its time!
Props to the one who dropped a Darkwing reference.
Voltron, Thundercats, The Centurions, Swat Kats, Ducktales, Inspector Gadget, Transformers, Johny Quest and plenty more where that came from
Reboot was created with a program called "3D Studio Max" . It was super groundbreaking at the time, and the program is still relevant. But it is used mostly to create animated logos and things like that, these days.
Its the same people who made the music video for "Money For Nothing" by Dire Straits and they are directly responsible for DECADES of advancement in CGI. Yeah season one looks stiff by modern standards, but its phenomenal how far they came in 9 years from that video. Then they tripled that progress in just 8 more years. Probably the only larger advancement is what happened with blender, but we don't talk about that...
These kids mocking ReBoot hurt my soul. That was such a good show growing up! The "low budget CGI" was partly intentional, since the characters were supposed to be the AIs that play the roles in literally every video game of the 90s (when someone would start a new game, they'd be sucked into it and have to play the roles to escape). So they were meant to look like the models of game characters of their time.
To be fair, your first impression of something tends to get biased towards its visual aesthetic, and a lot of early CGI just has NOT aged well.
@@Stratelier to be fair these kids are morons. todays parents have failed literally in every way to raise them correctly.
@@Stratelier Yeah, fair. It just hurts to hear so much hate of a show I loved as a kid 😅
Kids don’t understand how cool ReBoot was at the time. Well before any others were with CGI.
Those teens are so soft . I watched gargoyles as a kid and I didn't find it scary. And those teens find it scary?? Lmao
I found a couple of episodes of Batman TAS to be scary but still watched them and loved them. Gargoyles not as much it did not have the body horror that really creeped me out as a pre-teen to early teen.
The intro and also the cartoon itself is kind of dark, compared to other shows for kids. But Gargoyles is so good.
Only kids show that ever Scared me was the Halloween episode of hey Vern, it’s Ernest where he was hunting the boogeyman lol
@@Necrowolf81 you mean the movie Ernest scared stupid ?
The G.I Joe slander was heartbreaking 😢
Hurt my soul
G.I. Joe was a 23-minute commercial. That doesn't mean I didn't watch it.
The hate for Reboot was just wrong, I loved that show growing up.
Seriously, I feel like they needed context. Considering it was one of the first computer animated series and came out the year before Toy Story. Between that and Beast Wars, Mainframe was pretty cutting edge even if the visuals look kind of rough by today's standards.
@@stetre83 exactly
Fun fact: Canadian VA Mark Hildreth (in most Gundam series and as Terry Bogard in the Fatal Fury movies) starred in this.
Gargoyles was more my brother's era, but it was so cool that they spent so much time trying to teach like Macbeth to little kids
How do you guys keep passing up Darkwing Duck for the cartoon episodes?
The reason Nanny was drawn the way she was is because they were giving the perspective of toddlers (aka Muppet Babies)
You guys did not give 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' justice. Showing a weird episode. It should be the intro🤨
They should put Transformers, Thundercats, Robotech and Voltron
🙁 Don't worry Reboot, there's folks out there that understands your humor and creative graces.
I loved Gargoyles. So good.
They absolutely should have used Magic School Bus and Schoolhouse Rock for everything.
My all time favorite cartoon back then (i was born in 85) was X-Men. The best cartoon there was. I loved Captain Planet too, but I won't argue it was the best. 😂
82, and I loved XMen.
Wait so why didn't they show the intro to TMNT. Had the best intro of the cartoons they showed.
They did Gargoyles dirty.
The two girls gave Ninja turtles 10 out of 10 their dads raised them right . The rest of them need to binge watch all of the Ninja turtle cartoons from 1987 to 1996
Also, wussing out at gargoyles? It was a fantastic show...at least for the first season.
Gave me "the good feeling" only after seeing the first like... 2-4 episodes? maybe it was just the first two.
Not many shows gave me that feeling back then. Definitely one of the top of the era. Even the second season was not bad. But the 3rd (and final) one? urrrrgh.
It was good till the last season where they changed the crew. The season called Goliath Chronicles. That's season 3.
Even that season has like 1 or 2 ok episodes but it's a show You can consider over after the Oberon stuff
How can you show he-man but not she -ra? Also how can you show Reboot & not Beast Wars?
It broke my heart what they said about Reboot
I was obsessed with gargoyles as a kid. It was the first thing I watched on disney+
One of my favorites as well
I'm sorry i had to mute the Care Bears theme... NOT getting that song stuck in my head again... other than that, I was SHOCKED that these teens didn't know half these shows! My childhood just got insulted! And to call TMNT a 4/10, and ReBoot a 1/10? OUCH! What I loved the most though is the fact that these teens found Animaniacs inappropriate (have you READ the lyrics of your music?) or found Gargoyles scary... Wow...
Reboot was the illest. These darn kids. 😂 and Gargoyles was 10/10
Reboot was a great show but visually is VERY dated, I can 100% understand why a kid would find it unappealing nowadays.
I'm embarrassed for that kid that thought Duke was 'G.I. Joe.' It's like the time Ryan Stiles thought Kid Rock was a band.
The host let these kids look ridiculous. The guys would have told them important information about the cartoons. Like the fact that GI Joe is the whole organization, not just one guy. Also they would have explained that back then 3D animation was brand new in the 90's, and Reboot was actually very expensive to make then.
Reboot deserves so much better. The documentary Reboot Rewind can’t come fast enough.
1) not all of them were on Saturday mornings. They were after school shows.
2) mighty ducks was awesome!
3) these kids wouldnt survive in the 80s/90s
4) lucas has no taste lol
“I would skip the intro”… Girl, we couldn’t. And the reason intros back then were so long was a fairly good one. Once you knew your show was coming on, you often needed time to get from the kitchen or the bathroom to the TV room and settle in and you couldn’t just pause it or skip it.
Calling He-Man a knock off Thor is blasphemy don't disrespect my show
For the record the blonde guy wasn't G.I. Joe. That's the name of the Unit. ALL of the good guys where GI Joe's. The bad guys where Cobra
Right, it would have been obvious if they listened to the intro.
ReBoot was the first computer animated tv show!!! You can't bash them for being the first!!!
That show was the best show ever. Great characters, unique plots, tons of references, action and comedy. And of course the best villains.
Preach, it paved the way shows like Beast Wars.
Bruh these kids suck bashing gargoyles like that is such a insulte
HOW DO YOU NOT SHOW THEM THE TMNT intro?!?!?!?!
"Super hero ducks playing hockey..? That's so random."
Welcome to 80s/90s cartoons, kid! It also had nothing to do with the Mighty Ducks live action movie. It's super random, indeed.
Yes it did, that's where the idea came from & the jersey they wore 🤦♂️
@NoNames-vw3bq i meant besides the name and hockey element. There are no alien superhero ducks in the movie. It's just about a kids' hockey team. They are connected in name and logo alone.
Gen Z is really empty dude. He-man was a legendary cartoon.
They did a fair job with the Movie too
So biased
Someone should point out we didn't have PG-13 until mid-84 (Red Dawn was the first). Our PG-13 would likely be R now. The cartoons varied from dark and wild, to bright and happy; it was nice to have the variety as you grew out of one cartoon type and into another. Sad they didn't watch snippets of the shows; while you get the story through the intro, you don't get a good feel for the overall cartoon.
This generation has become so soft. 😢
I'm glad I'm a Gen-Xer.
@@briansmith48 wich generation is x again ? before 2000s right ?
“They should call it Warner Siblings”. It’s called Warner Brothers because it was started by not two brothers, not three brothers but four brothers called Warner. It’s not a name they just pulled from thin air that shouldn’t offend your sensibilities. It was four brothers and that’s why they called it that.
They’re just talking about the cartoon characters of which one was a girl
@@treas7400 The cartoon characters aren’t called “Warner Brothers” either. It’s quite clear they were referring to the company name.
@@Dreyno the cartoon characters are yakko Warner wakko Warner and dot Warner and in the intro song it says “come join the Warner brothers (and the Warner sister too)” which is obviously a tongue in cheek reference to the Warner brothers company but it’s specifically referencing the three siblings in the show, not the four brothers who founded WB.
This topic did not need this much exposition in the first place
@@treas7400 In my opinion they critiqued the name of the company. Your reading of it is slightly obtuse. I don’t think that is what they were saying.
My response was a simple recourse to fact. You challenged me on it. I suppose I could’ve ignored it or maybe agreed against my better judgment but I don’t think it’s remiss to restate my case.
@@Dreyno they made the statement right after the line “join the Warner brothers and the Warner sister too”
There is simply only one way to interpret the statement given the timing and context
You can definitely see the difference in the generations....
These kids absolutely destroyed Reboot because of the crappy 3D animation, by today's standards. What they fail to realize is that 'that' 3D animation, at the time, was absolutely groundbreaking to be doing on a kid's weekly tv show. Reboot is the only one of those series shown in this video, that had a non-episodic episode order with an over-arcing storyline, much like a novel.
It's sad to see Reboot being given a 0/10, and Muppet Babies a 10/10. It really speak to the short attention spans of this generation. As Saturday Morning cartoons evolved over the decades, it has gone from hour long programs with detailed storylines, to half hour programs that are really just 8 short 3-minute long animations all strung together in rapid pace. Modern animation is more about keeping the kid's attention on the screen every possible second, so they shorten the storylines to absurd few minute long sequences that can't really ever dive into anything of substance.... it's just bursts of color, songs and fast edits to trick the child into believing they actually just watched something.
Give me the days of Reboot, Robotech, Scooby Doo Mysteries and other series that assumed kids could hold it together for stories that were more than just 'teletubies for older kids
I was disappointed in Reboot's rating, I loved watching it as a kid, I still watch it with my son on Tubi.
I feel so old 😂😂. My first crush was the lead gargoyle. Don't come after me. I was weird. He saved Elisa the detective like every eposode lol.
Goliath was hot.. that voice like creamy butter... xD
