A Xiaolin Retrospective: Kids WB's Hidden Gem

[@maxordman4100]

Great job and thank you for giving this cartoon more attention and recognition! I love this series so much and it definitely deserves more praise and recognition!

I was in the target audience at the time and I absolutely loved Xiaolin Showdown!! It had plot, it had magic, but most of all it had characters!! I loved the interpersonal dynamics a lot. It was also really neat how different Shen Gong Wu were vehicles for showing character traits/flaws or could be used to teach us lessons. Also I really enjoyed the art style - the fantastical arenas that the showdowns took place in being a huge highlight of most episodes! Great video!

Same here. I remember being so shocked when Wuya was finally human. Same with Chase Young too. Looked forward to each new episode every time. All these years later and still love it!

Same here, me and my brother loved this show.

The contrast between "Xiaolin Showdown" and "Avatar: The Last Airbender" is pretty interesting. The creators for "Avatar: The Last Airbender" were largely inspired by East Asian culture, but the creator of "Xiaolin Showdown" was actually raised in it.

ATLA was inspired by South Asian and East Asian culture

​@@michaelsingh2828It's still an interesting contrast.

Xiaolin Showdown even has a video game.

Me and my brother loved watching this show along with other lesser knowns like Nick’s Yakkity yak and Kappa mikey.

As much as I like Xiaolin Showdown, I thought Loonatics Unleashed was Kid's WB's hidden gem?
