[@melvinm.261]

You're not wrong, but at the same time, you can't blame fans for having little faith in reboots since more often than not, companies put little to no effort in reboots with the only goal they have in mind is to make money at no cost.

[@bakeranita6040]

Ducktales was good because they had new stories to tell like Della's backstory, webby and Mrs. Beakley's backstories, and new backstories for characters like daisy, Jose and Ponchito and the duck family as a whole. Most other reboots are just concerned about staying as close to the original as possible in regards to storytelling(you never can stay the same-people and taste change). So it will always feel old hat if you are hearing the same stories

[@kingbash6466]

My favorite cartoon reboots/revivals are stuff like Ducktales 2017, TMNT 2012, and Transformers Prime. They still remain recognizable as the previous original series, however, they're able to elevate their stories in major ways that not only helps them stand out, but also provides a level of quality that couldn't be possible during the eras when their predecessors were previously created.

Hulu's Animaniacs can be Decent on its own, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a downgrade from the original show in some way. Especially when it comes to the cast of characters. The reboot switching between The Warner Siblings and Pinky and The Brain just got repetitive.

It undoubtedly still had its high points throughout but it's easy to see why the perception turned the way it did (even more so with how we now have Tiny Toons Looniversity, which seemed to do right on a lot of where this went wrong).

And it helps in a way that TTL is already established to be in an alternate universe instead of trying to be as faithful as possible. I still hate the twins change that they made, but making it more of its own thing helps it stand out more when being handled by completely different staff than the Ruegger-made original Tiny Toons as well.

Revivals need to hit a narrow goldilocks zone to be good. They need to capture the old spirit and magic of the original; if they don't then it'll just seem like nostalgia pandering and riding on the coattails of established beloved characters. At the same time, they need to inject fresh, new ideas in order to avoid becoming stale and outdated. The modern Ducktails did a fantastic job of hitting that sweet spot.

Ngl I think the Total Drama reboot was pretty good (minus one particular episode that you've probably seen floating around), it had my personal second favorite cast behind the original since a lot of them feel realistic and go through decent development. It's a shame that Chris's iconic voice had to change, but considering what happened with his original VA, it's understandable and you do get used to his new voice after a while. I like that they gave Chef more of a role after he was underused in the last couple seasons. I have high hopes for the second season since they're using all of the cast again which will hopefully give more development time for the ones who were eliminated early last time.

I watched Tiny Toons Looniversity and I think it’s really good so far. The only criticism I have is that they didn’t give much roles to the fan favorite characters like Fifi and Furrball. I just hope that more episodes would bring them a bigger purpose, but overall, considering that I only seen a handful of episodes of the Animaniacs reboot, Looniversity is better than that show.

Even though it is an anime, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure technically had a reboot. The original OVAs, and the infamously lost Phantom Blood movie covered stuff that was redone in the 2012 anime with parts 1 and 3. Also Baki. I hate Netflix's decisions regarding Baki.

Futurama *feels* frozen in a time-thing somehow. Like, Momazon and Explovid? Getting cancelled jokes? All of that felt relevant four years ago.

[@pablocasas5906]

In Futurama's defense, writing and animation takes time, I think an episode of The Simpsons takes more than 7 months to make. I can imagine Futurama's revival season started being written more than a year ago and the writers just wanted to incorporate topical subjects, but the thing is that in our modern Internet age news, social issues and trends change faster than they used to do back in the 2000s. Futurama's first revival had the same issues, which in turn is also a common complaint that The Simpsons have faced since season 15 onwards

DuckTales 2017 *needed* a fourth season, like badly so. They introduced waaay too much stuff that they just left hanging wide open _cough_ Negaduck _cough_

[@pigglesgoomshby7249]

The Negaduck thing stings so much because it was a lose-lose situation when it came to him, original storyboards show he was gonna be the twist villain in the second part of the DW two parter, but one of the co-creators said none of the writers felt he was done justice within a single episode, so it was either omit him entirely and make Bulba the villain in both episodes, or force Negaduck in there only to get an unsatisfying conclusion

[@eatatjoes6751]

I heard about the Negaduck thing and it's a huge waste of good foreshadowing.

[@historiaestmagistravitae.7051]

The problem is that they failed to introduce Negaduck, because when the third season was being filmed, the voice actor of Negaduck, Jim Cummings, had trials with his ex-wife, so he could not be present, and that is why Negaduck did not even appear in the third season.

Hey Cartoonshi, sorry if this seems a bit out of nowhere, but I really loved this video. If you ever consider doing a follow-up/part 2, I'd really love to see you discuss other cartoon reboot/revivals. Mainly, "Voltron: Legendary Defenders" because I find it amusing just how hard they dropped the ball on that. Also, "Studio MIR," the animation team behind "Voltron" is also responsible for several reboots and revivals, with their most recent product being "My Adventures with Superman."

[@mockersjayparker813]

I would say for the Ben 10 reboot it got better as the seasons went on. From what I could gather there was just a lot of meddling with the first season but the team was allowed to do what they wanted with later seasons. I will say that it does give us a better 10 year old Ben and Gwen dynamic than the original at times.

3:50 most excellent points, however Ducktales has flaws that need a video to address theme like in what you did with Loud house.

[@jesseburgener442]

The Animaniacs reboot becomes more frustrating the more I look back at it. The trailer showed a lot of promise, and while the first season wasn't without its charm and humor, it missed the mark in a lot of places (the animation, the writing, characterization, etc.). Unfortunate that this would continue on into the later seasons to the point where the show literally ends with (Spoiler!) everyone presumably dying. It was a bizarre ending that kind of feels indicative of the problem with the show's new focus of humor: it's often morbid, gross, and mean-spirited.

[@DC-iu7gn]

I will never understand why with the reboot they say it is very mean-spirited even though the original series was always that mean-spirited, I said it before and I'll say it again, that does not take away the fact that in the original series he was literally the zone of comfort where the writings took revenge for everything, every time something happened to the writings in real life or the competition simply bothered them (the latter referring to all the parodies of Disney), they turned it into an episode where they took revenge of anything that they disliked, that's the same as the reboot but in this one they do it differently compared to the original series.

[@ChelCM03]

The quality of a reboot or revival always depends on how much effort was put into it, plain and simple. Were the writers relying on nostalgia to win audiences or did they actually try to give a fresh new take on a beloved property? Thats why Ducktales 2017 and Rise of the TMNT were so fire. Sure everyone was skeptical at first (especially with rottmnt) but the boldness and the creativity of the writers to do something new is what gained audiences, not just nostalgia. Unfortunately both Ducktales and RotTMNT were unjustly canceled because big studios don't care about fresh new ideas and taking risks and just want something to make a lot of money really easily.

[@Fan-O-Key]

DC Superhero Girls (2019), in my humble opinion, is an example of a reboot that can be better than original. The "original" webseries of the same name premiered back in 2015 was nothing a quantity over quality cashgrab that only existed to sell toys. DC Superhero Girls (2019), on the other hand, is more than that. Despite having some flaws, it is a huge glow-up from the webseries in almost if not every aspect. The characters in the reboot have actual distinctive designs, personalities, and motives/backgrounds. All the supposed heroes are heroes, and all the supposed villains are villains. The characters, including the main 6, have actual flaws/conflicts/insecurities, leaving much more room for them to grow and develop as characters as opposed to them being perfect do-gooders from the get-go. I also like that the heroes and some of the villains have normal lives outside of their superheroes/supervillains lives just to some balance. Also, i like that the reboot isn't afraid to have some dark, creepy, and sad moments on screen as well. All I'm saying is that DC Superhero Girls (2019) is a fun show that deserves more love for what it is. It's really a shame that it got cut short in 2 seasons. Thanks for listening to my TED talk.

[@pablocasas5906]

Something pretty cool when a reboot or revival of a old cartoon arrives is if the original VAs are able to reprise their roles. I know there's the issue if the VAs are too old but in some languages it kind of vary, I'm from Spanish Latin America and some of the shows you mentioned managed to do it in their dubs: Ducktales managed to bring back Scrooge's original VA; Animaniacs brought back the VAs for Yakko, Wakko and Pinky, but the Brain's VA couldn't because he disagreed with the payment WB. offered him In the Arnold movie they replace almost everyone from the main cast, though in the case of Helga's original VA she retired years ago; Rocko brought almost everyone, though sadly Rocko's original VA passed away years before the movie was announced; Zim also managed to bring back almost everyone, same with the Rugrats reboot For Clone High only Abe's original VA came back Futurama is a funny case because the original Neutral Spanish dub cast was replaced in its fist revival, but for this new one they brought back the original VAs, save for Zoidberg (who was the only one who remain in the first revival) whom VAs is now retired
