Jack always felt like the saddest character in the series to me. Like he's hilarious, but once you realize how alone and put down he feels in his continual failing you can't help but feel sorry for him.
The clip ended with Jack crushing an old man brutally to death as a lil kid is too devastated to even speak. You stop feeling sorry for a person after they go out of their way to stomp a fragile old man with a giant robot metal foot several times. We don’t see it but it’s a gross imagine of what would be left of older Raimundo.
@@bananadog8018 Can still feel sorry for him despite what he "potentially" would do if he actually succeeded. Same with any other failure villain in fiction. Like you obviously don't want Jessie, James, and Meowth to succeed, but that doesn't mean you can't sympathize with everything they go through.
Not only that, but Jack was practically assaulted for the monks to get a promotion. They ripped out his hair and stole his underwear. I'm not excusing his future self killing the monks, but to be fair, Omi was probably the only one Jack genuinely cared about as a friend. So after he "Disappeared" Jack probably had no moral anchor and became fully corrupted.
I loved how cartoon could be at the same time funny but some episodes especially end of series were dark and serious. I also liked that characteres where changing clothes and detaile like spicer make up after crying or getting wet.
It’s truly ironic that Jack Spicer is the one that actually wiped out Raimundo, Clay and Kimiko, something that Chase Young, Wuya, and Hannibal Bean never did. As Master Fung said, no one should ever be underestimated.
In the most brutal way possible clay got blasted to death it looked like kimiko was either pulled apart or crushed to death and Raymundo was stomped to death in my opinion some of the darkest things cartoon Network implied and showed
@@justincounts6001 yep, It shows that jack can truly be evil when given the chance. You would think he would've also have wuya, Hannibal and chase be by his side but he didn't allow them at all. That's why the moral from the previous season of never underestimate your opponent truly applies here.
I seemed that whenever someone underestimated Jack, he pulls a win. Steals all the Wu to create Mala Mala Jong, and conquered the world and defeat villains that were considered better than him.
I want another future jack episode, it was such a cool twist and my favorite moment of the series. The guy everyone was a jerk to and noone wanted to be friends with turned out to have the potential to become the ultimate villan. That was epic! I need another future jack episode, and maybe a potential future where we see a good heroic jack as well
Like people once said. “A weakling can be turn into a powerful being” (Really wish Raimundo tell the story longer on how Jack become “The Emperor of Darkness”?)
18:19 wow, Cartoon Network really had balls for this one. I just now realize how brutal this scene actually was, bet Omi would've dealt with ptsd afterwards if they continued the show. This and that one scene in Scooby doo mystery incorporated where Hot dog water was gunned down I think are the most brutal scenes that crossed the line in kids shows. I don't think they were bad, it just shows that there are more extreme consequences you suffer for some actions, too bad cartoons nowadays get watered down.
Agreed but this show was aired on KidsWB alongside shows like Mucha Lucha, the DCAU Justice League, and Static Shock and not on Cartoon Network (at least not during its original run)!
@@willnack5315I wouldn't say ALL cartoon shows nowadays are that soft. Heck there have been plenty that still go above what is allowed for standards and all that, be it on cable or streaming. They just... do things their own way in comparison.
I feel bad for Omi. I know how it feels to look for your first family and not be able to find them. You have to accept where you are now and it can be hard.
"What If... Jack Spicer Won?" from Time After Time Part 1 episode is scary. In fact, I can't imagine what would happen if Jack Spicer and Ultron became a fusion together... 😨
Future jack may be lame but is a heck of a lot darker since both good jack and clay got vaporized, kimiko got ripped apart and raimundo got repeatedly stomped on.
He actually succeeded in ruling the world thanks to Omi’s freeze time travel… I would’ve loved to see how he succeeded in not only defeating the Shaolin Monks , but wuya, chase young and Hannibal.
@@Hugo-MTX96 Disney bought the series from WB, but had too rename some of the Shen Gong Wu as those names weren't included in the transfer. The only actress to return to was Tara Strong. All other characters were replaced with Canadian actors who somewhat sound the same for some characters, but it wasn't the same. Also they had a skeleton crew of actors, meaning one actor plays three or four or more characters.
Seeing Master Fung be used as some performer for Jack's amusement was just sad growing up. We can see him with zero hope and his body is so frail. Yet he's doing flips while on devastated autopilot mentality.
How about when Dude-Bot kills himself? The series got away with it because he's a robot, but the Heart of Zhong can basically bring inanimate objects to life e.g. Mala Mala Zhong, Raksha. Dude-Bot was essentially alive.
That was after the showdown with Omi and Chase. Omi won but he felt right then and there that Chase might’ve allowed him to win on purpose. Clay questioned Omi on behalf of his comment because he thought it was strange that Chase would do such a thing. Then Raimundo said it was not like you (referring to Omi) ever did anything for Chase (like help him in anything). But earlier in that same episode, Omi did help Chase by freeing him from the Sphere of Yune that Jack Spicer trapped him in because he did not like the fact Jack was ruling and in control of Chase’s army of minions (because of the sphere of yune, that allows the user to possess a person’s possessions). Omi freed Chase as he felt things were better when Chase was in power. During the episode, Jack constantly and relentlessly attacked the Xiaolin warriors with Chase’s minions to steal there shen gon wu whereas Chase had no such desire and would not make constant attacks like Jack. This is why when Raimundo had said what he said, Omi had the reaction he had because he knew that he did do something for Chase and that was help free Chase. In fact, earlier in the episode, Omi made mentioning of things being better with Chase instead of Jack being the leader and Raimundo checked what Omi said by reminding him that Chase was an enemy (basically implying that what Omi reasoned was nonsensical). Hope that clears up your confusion
She's also a primordial sea goddess not a Dragon. It's probably a reference to the D&D Tiamat, which is an end-game level monster and a multi-headed Dragon with little connection to the Babylionan Myth.
Not really. 'Avatar' was made 2 years after this show was premiered. So it may or may not be possible. Also, it was in the 2000s. And the 2000s were sort of well-known for copying each other. It took me awhile to realize or notice that.
Avatar is not the first show in animated history to feature a group of adolescent heroes that have the ability to manipulate the 4 elements. This show came out in 2003 while ATLA came out in 2005. The show "W.I.T.C.H" did the same in 2004. A lot of TV networks at the time were copying each other or developed the same ideas around the same time a great example would Disney's "The American Dragon" and CN's "The Life & Times of Juniper Lee".
I forgot to include Raimundo fear episode
11:41-11:42-11:43-11:44-11:45 Whoa!
Are we just going to ignore the fact that Omi canonically watched his friends get murdered?
Yes we are.
And by their lamest Antagonist.
Future them not the present them
Damn.
lamest? Jack is very intelligent in time seems like he can outsmarted everyone@@misterOrca4

I mean he literally tore an old lady in half. It was hard to feel sorry for him after that.

Future Jack killing off Future Clay Kimiko and Raimundo was hella dark
Dark but man despite being considered an adult I still come back to watch the series TMNT 2003 was a similar show
And it justified all of his failures.
This series was ahead of its time, I wish it's sequel series was not so dismissive in the fandom.
I loved how cartoon could be at the same time funny but some episodes especially end of series were dark and serious. I also liked that characteres where changing clothes and detaile like spicer make up after crying or getting wet.
17:05-17:45I think Chase's sacrifice was the most heartbreaking moment of the entire series,I don't blame good Jack for crying.
His sacrifice implies it was his destiny to join the Heylin side.
His destiny to betray Dashi and Guan.
I feel terrible for all of them
The thing I never understood was how Omi turning to evil gave Chase such a powerful boost and cut the earth in half.
it should have been explained in season 5 but it was canceled
I’ve been asking this same question for years lol
@Regulus Just like what Chase said… “True Power lies within.”
Omi's the Avatar. That's my only guess.
Hence why dashi was basically playing with omi in their xiaolin showdown, even with omi using the orb of tornami, dashi was going to win wu or no wu

Bad timeline Jack is essentially the bullied kid going postal, but taken to the extreme.
I feel bad for Omi. I know how it feels to look for your first family and not be able to find them. You have to accept where you are now and it can be hard.
13:44-Man seeing Raimundo tearing after leaving Omi really got me. 😢
I gotta rewatch this show, this was part of my childhood.

Jack Did Something That Neither Chase Wu Ya Or Hanniabl Could Do!

Season 2 finale was so great, Omi becoming Heylin and Jack becoming good were great moments in retrospect
Klowfang (I think that's how it's pronounced) sacrificing himself and being frozen in ice again was very heartbreaking
I kinda feel sad for Jack because he wants to be good at something
True
@@EVERYWHERE_MAN i don't think he is pure evil

Yeah and Kimiko getting ripped in half. Brutal.
Xialoin Showdown can get surprisingly dark, it's especially evident in seasons 2-3.
I missed this show. It was so funny, creative, and had a good story behind it. I just ignore the reboot because that was so bad.
there was a reboot?

Are we going to ignore the fact that Omi is an alternate version of avatar the last airbender
Moment, where Raimundo didn't get a Xiaolin belt and leaving upset, always making me sad. That's another reason why villains are born.
Man, Raimundo's back is fuuuucked up
Chase drinking the Lou Mang Lone soup broke my heart.

What’s bc mean?
2:54 I mean give Wuya credit, she may be evil but we know she would have kept her word.
5:39
That was DEFINITELY one of those "was I imagining that or did it really happen" moments, glad it was an actual thing nd i found it here
I almost forgot this show existed
Episode 1? Funny cartoon about the Asian arts.
Episode 52? *Soul-crushing drama-dy with way too many emotional moments.*

the last one is really dark man
It’s been 16 years since i last watched this
Goodbye Forever, Everyone. We will Miss You. :'-(
Raimundo gained wudai power even b4 he is a wudai warrior
But sometimes I think that was a misprint on the script
Sad moment never forget
Poor Everyone. Poor, Poor Everyone. :'-(
I forgot I ever watched this. I thought this was some fever dream.
I met the voice of Raimundo
14:42 the fact that if i heard correctly that Raimundo has over 8 brothers and sisters
😞I wonder what clays doing right YOU MAKE FUN IF ME 😡
Can we talk about the real sad moment was Xiaolin chronicles it’s so awful 😭
I’m finna rewatch this now miss this show
N yet Raimundo ends up becoming the Xiaolin Leader despite his betrayal
18:26 😢
1:02 Imagine if this was between SpongeBob and Krabs.
