Now THIS is Ratchet And Clank, much better than the movie. The movie should've had this kind of writing.

[@Supersonicblue1027]

Well the movie is an alternate universe same with this game, their apart of the infinitely expanding omniverse of ratchet and clank with rift apart's ratchet and clank being the originals. But you ain't wrong but when you think of it like I said then the movie can kinda start to be appreciated.

[@Bordpie]

That 'Backup gloves' gag had me laughing out loud. That's such a subtle, specific reference to how every Lombax is always wearing gloves for some reason. There was a lot of references and item models from previous games, but it also wasn't boring or expositional or super serious story edgy Ratchet from the Future series, I liked it a lot. I think if they make it into a series it doesn't have to be super cannon serious storyline like the game series, cartoons have a different pacing and it's interesting seeing the characters outside of the 'epic' storyline. Let the writers have some fun with it (if they even decide to do it), while keeping to original cannon as much as possible, that's how good stuff gets made when creativity flows.

Facts

[@jjjabbers]

This entire video was absolutely entertaining, and moreso than the 2016 movie AND Rift Apart. Ratchet and Clank actually had personalities that seem to best fit their characters, and through good pacing and humorous moments, it was a complete package of fun to watch. None of this has been present for a very long time in the series, and while I'm glad that both our main characters have grown past the minor childish acts they commit here, I'd still want them to carry the sort of dynamic that makes them both work. I'm real happy that this short movie exists, and I hope to see more of it.

[@CommonNeon]

This was very well done. And they gave Ratchet back his old personality. I really hope we get a series in the future.

[@derrickhaggard]

If it was his Going Commando personality I wouldn't mind it but this was selfish asshole Ratchet from the first game, Size Matters and a good chunk of Deadlocked. Hence why I like Ratchet from Going Commando, the Future games, and Rift Apart as he's yes snarky, and hot-tempered but he's mature and not a selfish asshole who gets mad when someone disagrees with him over the smallest thing.

[@avengersfan7735]

I agree that almost every character is pretty out of character in this. If there ever is going to be a Ratchet and Clank TV series it has to try harder than this.

[@xylopiano3]

Even Ratchet? I wouldn't say he's so much "stupid" in this as he is selfish. Like an anti-hero. But his personality still feels believable for a teenager or young adult (he's 19 according to Google), and he does eventually do the right thing, so I wouldn't say his personality is detrimental.

[@nu-agegamer3548]

He wasn't douchey after the first game, but he was stubborn, and sarcastic. In this one, it's non-canon but he seems to have his Future Series personality, a mix between his old one and new one, where if something keeps getting in his way he gets pissed, but is generally friendly.

[@blitzatom]

This feels like it would be a holo-vid show in their universe. I can already imagine how it would work. After the events of Rift Apart, Dr. Nefarious decides being a villain isn't all it's cracked up to be and becomes an actor. Ratchet, Clank and Quark join in for a show. Doesn't explain why the top of Clank's head is light blue, though. -or why his right arm isn't yellow-

[@derrickhaggard]

Yeah it does feel like that. Plus it would explain why Ratchet is acting like the self-centered asshole he was in the first game and a good chunk of Deadlock.

I honestly had low expectations for this, but i was pleasantly suprised how good it actually was. Characterization was spot on. Those who wrote this clearly love and cared about Ratchet and Clank, unlike those who wrote the lame ass movie. I am gonna miss Jim Ward.
