How would a gender reversed version have been received?

It wasn't bad, per se. It just wasn't very good. The show just wasn't that interesting. And all of the good villains were underused.

>How would a gender reversed version have been received?
Pretty sure that's an alt. verse character in the show.

It took me a while to realize the stuff below his hand was just his legs and the boomerang.

so there's a girl that gets empowered by dressing up as a boy?

Yep, instead of Shezow it's Dudepow if I remember right.

Why don't you ask the exact opposite? Is it really worth talking about or is it just someone's fetish?

animation was too garbage for a cape show.
Also should have been 22 minutes episodes since most plots are rushed

maybe some people have watched all the good cartoons and are starting to see what's worth watching in the unremarkable pile?

also shezow isn't attractive.

A fondly remembered cartoon from the 90s?

Asian Doctor Who meets Asian Carmen Sandiego?
I see the Justice League of China is expanding their ranks.

It's legitimately a very bad show. Even have an LGBT friend who shlicks to all kinds of porn like trap stuff thought it was hot shit and only made because the creator has a fetish. We hardly ever agree on cartoons.

The japanese did it better 2bh

It was your standard Canadian cartoon. People only cared about this show because of traps

no that's not really a reversal, it's still someone in male clothes being empowered by female clothes.

It wasn't terrible, just poorly executed.

>I know what this baot thread REALLY is...

>baot
?

What is that?

Pretty much this. It wasn't a well written show.

...Also, The reverse of a girl dressing up as a male persona has been done alot. I don't think Cyber Six strictly counts because Six is using the male persona to hide herself through the Clark Kent Route rather than an empowerment route. Her crime fighting persona isn't the guy disguise; she's clearly presenting female in her black outfit.

Then you have Mulan in and of itself, numerous other cartoons including for some reason the old Nintendo cartoons which did this a couple times (yet Samus Aran was never in any of the shows) and doesn't Ninjago have the kid sister who disguises herself in a male costume to fight with the main dudes? Shit, even the Smurfs did it during Smurfette's introduction and it was what basically earned her the trust of everybody else in the village.

But in almost all of the "girl disguises herself as a boy" scenarios you typically have the character reveal the disguise by the end, which proves that she is capable as any man or whatever the message is. She-Zow's sole interesting point was that not only was the protag dressing up as a girl to be a hero instead of the inverse, the 'deception'/disguise isn't something that goes away or is revealed by the end.

Never go on the Internet high.

It was legitimately shitty. The animation was crappy, and the "she" puns all throughout made it too painful to watch.
>his friend finds out, laughs
>"Hahaha! That's SHE-larious!"
Bleugh. No thanks.

It was badly written and animated so people that were interested quickly lost interest. There just wasn't much going for it. It didn't even get any progressive love because it didn't even try to get noticed by them.

If you kept the same creative team and swapped genders the outcome would still be the same but there'd be a bit more interest in a reverse trap. But not enough to save it.
