[@tarantinoland.automobiles]

I always thought that Kadeem's death was related to what Haziz told him in World Race. Especially when Haziz says "Our people need not what is yours, but you. They need you to lead them". Kadeem failed to protect his people by continuing on the road he traveled. I also have reason to believe that not the false wheel, but the Racing Drones where what Haziz was referring to as "The Greatest Danger". Haziz also says to Kadeem "That is the greatest danger, to see only what you want to see, and not what is true." I think what Kadeem wanted to see was that fighting the Drones was a greater priority than returning home to his people. He even says in Acceleracers "My people will have to wait, because this cannot". I think that Haziz was trying to warn Kadeem of the Drones in attempt to lead him from the Dangerous Road, to go back home. But unfortunately for Kadeem, he failed to see what Haziz told him.

[@gremotorsports]

What would have been better in the sequel is if Kadeem came back to help and got scared either for himself or by vert crashing/losing the Deora II. Kadeem has second thoughts then thinks back to the haziz talk while vert is moping/depressed that he lost his baby. Then Kadeem realizes that he must be alive for his people and gives his car to vert who modifies it to his taste and adding the jet things to the underside but with a scene where he debates on keeping the spike tires but in some near death action driving scene the tires come back to save him. And vert thanks Kadeem because he couldn't have done it without them. Maybe an ending race "irl" where vert convinced tesla to create a track with all the new tech from the realms located right next to Kadeem's village drawing in major business and growing the village into a city.(Not sure about track next to the village but I don't like the part about having a track in "irl")

[@zori1k]

I know this is over a year old, but I was just about to make a comment on this one thing! It seems so many people forgot Haziz told Kadeem there was "danger on the road you travel". And Kadeem turning into a racing drone was the true danger for him.. Not the fake wheel or that giant dinosaur statue.

[@GoldStrayPlays]

Kadeem's transformation is extremely dark if you think about it. Just think of what he had to go through in order to go from human to machine. Kadeem's stomach was opened and replaced with wires. The internal organs were probably gotten rid of. His eyes were somehow turned green or something. He has wires coming from his heart and then the drone symbol in his head. Then his arm and both legs were replaced with drone parts. It's awful to just imagine what he went through

This series was one of the things in my childhood that opened me up to more interesting and real themes. What’s funny is that I didn’t expect my brother and I to go through a similar experience like between Kurt and Wylde. Getting on fighting terms, yet we both watched and loved Hot Wheels.

I think his death was also a good transition pice between the Acceleracers characters and the World Race. While most of them participated in it, it only gets mentioned in the first episode as the prequel but the conflicts and deeper story only impact Acceleracrs here and there (like the callback of Kurt being her ally). So bringing him into it as the old World Race character while everyone else had transformed into their Acceleracers version was a good transition. Also it served as a first example of how dangerous the realm are. Again connecting the other WR characters that all got lost already to the new accelerators that now have the very real fear of also not making it to the end.

[@thesquatch9821]

The destruction off all HW35 cars also symbolizes the change. All the other HW35 drivers considered the new realms harmless as HW35, but were soon proven wrong.

[@MandatoryFruit]

Super late comment, but I would like to add that Kadeem's death was a super integral moment for Vert as well. Throughout the rest of the entire series Vert only actually finishes what, like four races? Aside from his race against Gelorum of course. Watching Kadeem fall to his demise clearly had a huge impact on Vert to the point where any failure in a race made him legitimately depressed. A trait he did not have during the World Race. Vert became so obsessed with winning after he failed to save Kadeem that it lead to him making most of the mistakes that he did. Which is an incredibly human response to grief.

I find it interesting that the demise of Kadeem is followed immediately by the destruction of the Deora II and Slingshot. It's like the creators of Acceleracers were trying to show symbolically that the old Hot Wheels (Highway 35) was dead and something new was beginning.

[@fluffywolfo3663]

I like the artstyle of Wheel of Fire more (seriously what is _with_ Taro's redesign in acceleracers) but I like Acceleracers more overall, just cause it's just a much better-constructed story. You nailed down a lot of what makes it better - there's actual stakes, a villain, and these characters can lose or get _hurt_.

[@fluffywolfo3663]

@GT012345tube yeah, you’re right. I think I was thinking of an overarching villain with more presence through the show, but I didn’t type that for some reason. My bad.

[@nateracing]

Eh I agree, but they were just redesigning it, just like how Omniverse Ben 10 just doesn't sit well with me (in terms of design). But I would also add that the score in Highway 35 was utterly phenomenal, far better of that in Acceleracers (for both nostalgia and intensity)

[@dr_rl123]

Damn dude, good as heck video! I always thought Kadeem's death was very interesting, it was like a message. The best part of this video was the difference between Vert and Kadeem in World Race. This made me realize alot of things, Kadeem didn't have time to mess around and participate in team disputes. He wants to help his people, but he has priorities. If he doesn't stop the Racing Drones, it'll mean everyone in the world will suffer. By the time Acceleracers has occurred, we know that Dr. Tezla has made a team with other drivers (dan dresdan, alec wood, and banjee castillo) And that when our main characters got to Tezla's Cube... Kadeem was the only one. This is implying Kadeem must have seen so many things happen to his fellow team, Tezla's team was probably much more friendly than say the Teku and Metal Maniacs. Kadeem has seen so many of his friends be lost in the realms or possibly die, that he knew when the main character drivers appeared... he wanted to prevent anything else. This is where it gets unfair for Kadeem. What he saw was 2 teams still arguing and having conflicts despite the drones being a much bigger havoc. He knew he didn't have time to mess around, and seeing his friends STILL argue with each other was probably hard on him. I can theorize that this is probably why he acted as the "leader." of Ignition. Kadeem wanted everyone to be on the same boat, and help everyone get together through the realm. If you compare the Storm and Swamp realm, they really didn't argue often (or possibly even once) at the Storm realm.. then you have the Swamp Realm where there's several exchanges between both teams. When Kadeem was lost in the Storm Realm, the situation got possibly worse. They still argued and it's possible that Vert was the only one who truly understood. (Hence why he kept talking about Kadeem, though Taro and Lani talked about him at Speed of Silence) Vert wanted to help his friend, Kadeem was *one* the reason of how Vert learned not to care JUST for himself. But enough about Vert, that's for another day lol It's really a shame how dirty they did Kadeem, but it wasn't bad writing at all. It helps show how serious the situation is perfectly. And as the movies progress, the drivers mature enough to realize to settle their differences and be stronger. That's pretty much what I think, sorry for rambling but I really liked this video. (I do think the Microphone quality was really quiet and mumbly though which sucks) Can't wait for more, man!

In the German dub porkchop didn't watch his father drown, his father tried to drown him in a bathtub, then the "I took a bath, once" quote following it up. That impacted me so much as that's what made me realise how evil the world was actualy. There isn't a man dressed in black who will kidnap you if you don't listen to your parents. The real man dressed in black isn't some monster stranger, the monster could be anyone. That's what made me remember acceleracers and Rewatch it only to join the Fandom and enjoy your videos now.

[@tunnel77xx32]

Seeing his death as a kid and transformation into a racing drone was such a Woah moment growing up, and with the dark themes of pain, stress,fear, regret, and etc it made me realize that world isn't all rainbows and sunshine all time. There's times where there is storms too. So for that reason I'm glad they did what they did because it show what life is like in reality with nothing sugarcoating it. I think something else I would love to have seen besides a acceleration 5 is a prequel to it that took place after the world race. I would to love to see what happens to the original crew and what lead them where they are, how vert and Kurt join the teku, how nolo's brother tone was like, the story of what happened between Marky and Kurt as well.

So as much as I don't like it, especially since the big question is, "Did he ever save his people?" always comes up. I don't think I had a problem with it in the thematic storytelling but definetly in the lore story telling. Third: (really off topic) wait, big brain time, what if, Kadeem's city that he lived in, is a secret Silencerz base.

My theory is that, judging from the eye twitch the first time we the viewers see cyborg!Kadeem, and well as Kadeem still remembering some parts of who he was before (such as remembering some of his former friends), it's possible that his old personality as a human is struggling against the new personality from the Drones' cybernetics. A sort of cybernetic Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, if you will.

[@infinitypercival5958]

Too bad Taro's "guilt" doesn't affect the story at all. If you ask me, not giving Taro his own arc is the most wasted opportunity in the whole franchise.

I found another similarity between HW35 and The Acceleracers films. When racing on the ice track in HW35 the track is cut off so drivers had to go off the track. This is when Dan Dresden deploys the "eye in the sky" to find the best route through the maze of ice. This looks to be almost identical the the recon drones like the ones seen in the swamp realm which also seemed to find the Racing Drones the best route to take throughout the swamp realm.

I thought the community was dead I’m happy that there’s people that still remember Acceleracers

[@jamesharrison9458]

I could see kadeem going over the edge and vert failing to save him and maybe even him dying but when they turned him into a drone, that could've been done without, just like them ripping off Mark's arm and giving him a drone arm simply because kadeem was such a good guy it was really hard to believe they completely wiped away everything that made him, him. If anything what they could've done was hold him prisoner and torture him or just maybe put on a few replacement parts to try to turn him into a drone but he overcomes the brainwashing because it showed he still had his memories namely when he fought Kurt and won and saves everybody possibly by sacrificing himself it would've been better for him to go out a hero than a brainwashed bad guy or better yet gets rescued the same way they rescued Mark

Holy shit I am so happy so see other people sill like this show as much as me and that there is sill an active community around it. Great analysis btw, I an still saddened about Kadeem's death but I do think like you said it was a necessary evil. My most buring question tho is what happen to the others on Tezla's team? Alex "Hud" Wood, Dan Dresden, and Banjiee Castillo. I like to think they were rescued by the Silencers and started driving for them as it's show that they never really try to hurt the other drivers and in the case of the Neon Pipeline realm will actively seek to help them if they are in trouble.

[@tomwheeler1082]

Welcome back! Good to see you again!

[@skeel_8923]

This video made me pull a 180 on my opinion of what happened to Kadeem, great video!

[@NOLOAF-AR]

thank u so much! it’s what i strive to do :D

[@connorbutters8479]

it's kind of sad for kadeem to end up as a racing drone due to his relation with Vert and his responsibilities to his own people. Hell if it were Vert who was up front with Kadeem he probably would've tried to help, since they did seem to be good friends by the end of the world race.

[@angelwilliams8965]

Yeah. That's why I blame Kadeem's death on Taro.

I love that he used Sonic Unleashed arid sands for the background music

[@JaxJordan35]

[@abnerbabner9333]

So all this could be avoided if taro didnt say “im gna pass you”

[@Kimoxdo]

OH YEAH ACCELERACERS TIME

[@gb2138]

I genuinely thought I was one of the few people who still goes back and watches this stuff every now and than

[@frostVGC]

Imagine if they remastered these movies and made Acceleracers in the same animation style as world race

[@andre8669]

Glad to see you play Sonic Unleashed! Underrated soundtrack. Glad to have you back Noloaf!

[@NOLOAF-AR]

[@thejackbox]

Damn I loved acceleracers back then and I still do

[@141414]

Acceleracers is the reason I care more about the stories and characters than the visuals in the media I watch.

[@NOLOAF-AR]
