[ReBoot: The Guardian Code]

(Anonymous) 2019-05-25 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't even get me started, I loved the original ReBoot with a burning passion.

(Anonymous) 2019-05-25 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I've seen the original and liked it but haven't seen the new one, is it that bad?

(Anonymous) 2019-05-25 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
ayrt

Well kinda like Mishey said, (below) it's nothing like the original. Rather than the characters being part of the mainframe, they're just gamers being put into cyberspace to fight a hacker. It's kinda not really a ripoff live action Digimon, more than a reimagined ReBoot.

I can't say much for the quality since I rage quit it as so as possible...

(Anonymous) 2019-05-25 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Weird. Why did they even name it the same thing then?

(Anonymous) 2019-05-25 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Well Megabytes in it, but thats about it...

... and Hexadecimal!

Because they had the rights and the CEO of Rainmaker wanted to remake a show he'd done before. Also they probably don't even have the original models anymore as the previous CEO of Rainmaker did a purge of all of Mainframe Entertainment's assets out of spite.

.. it almost sounds more like Tron?

(Anonymous) 2019-05-25 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Never seen Tron, tbh;;

OP

It did have a Tron-esque vibe, somewhat!

I don't think the people who are complaining care if it isn't terrible, it's that it isn't anything like the original

(Anonymous) 2019-05-25 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I was thrilled Reboot was getting rebooted when I first heard the news, because the concept was fun but the animation didn't age well at all. but then it turned out to be some other completely different show shoved into Reboot's body.

I expected lots of changes, but I also figured it would be a similar concept updated for the internet age. I found the new show really disappointing. What was even the point of calling it Reboot?

(Anonymous) 2019-05-25 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe you should watch the original series to understand why everyone hates this abomination.

Reboot was so amazing when I think about it, I've never seen a show transition from silly episodic episodes with no stakes to "killing" off its previously untouchable main hero and having the plucky young boy get his eye permanently sliced out before trapping him in a hellish abyss so seamlessly. The episode where Hexadecimal gets her mask taken off still makes me uncomfortable to this day.

The problem isn't whether Guardian Code is a good show in its own right.

It's the mercenary crassness of looking at a pre-existing show and going "hmm, we don't care about these characters or storylines or worldbuilding, or any of the things fans loved about it...so let's throw out all of that, and just capitalize on the branding/iconography/name-recognition to promote our own unrelated OCs."

That would be a slap in the face to any fandom. Doesn't help that Reboot was an amazing show, and was canceled with some serious plots still hanging, so there are still lots of us who would leap at the prospect of an actual sequel.

They basically turned it into some sort of cross between Digimon and Power Rangers. Fine if you're into either of those I guess but that's not what ReBoot was.

Also agreeing with anon somewhere in the reply chain up there, WATCH the original and you'll actually see why we're so pissed. No, the animation didn't age well but the scripts were pretty good.

(Anonymous) 2019-05-25 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I think it would have worked better if they at least changed up the avatars. Like have the "jock" use a female avatar or the "nerd" use a tank-y avatar. Instead everything about the show is so basic and stereotypical.

It's like watching an eighties cartoon.

You mean Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle?
