What is the absolute worst reboot of the last decade?

What is the absolute worst reboot of the last decade?

Would you call that the worst? It certainly failed the hardest, with even shows like the CGI Carebears and Strawberry Shortcake lasting longer, but I would say those shows had less potential than Rainbow Brite....I dunno, is it worse to have had a bit of potential only to squander it or to be completely mediocre from the get go?

Thundercats 2011 was worse becuase how promising the first episodes were.

...

It's worse to have had 1 decent season which got its potential squandered and then instantly go back to spamming 7 more seasons worth of garbage.

Than to have had a mediocre show from the get to go which only lasts a maximum of 2-4 seasons.

I'd have to say that show. Because unlike TTGO, PPG, Korra, Thundercats, Ultimate Spiderman, Tron Uprising and a few others.
That show had only 1 solid mediocre season which was suppose to get far far better(at the level of Wakfu and TLA, at least), but the moment season 2 hit, it turned into something worse than Zombie Simpsons by continuing for 8 seasons and a movie.

I think it's worse to have had the potential to lift itself up after 20-30 years worth of garbage, but to get quickly snatched away by some angry power-tripping executive that loves sabotaging everything in the name of control for another 10-20 years.

if they had the original PPG team on what and what not to do.

My personal definition of "worst" when it comes to a reboot is one that fails to:

>Live up to the original
>Improve upon the original
>Differentiate itself from the original

When I say differentiate, I mean in regards to TT --> TTG how they're such drastically different shows, that it's like comparing a Bruce Timm DC cartoon to Super Best Friends Forever.

Even if something like nuPPG hits all of those marks, at the VERY least you can give it higher points in art quality than Rainbow Brite (Which is fucking saying something) whose animation is so bad, they actually had to re-use and flip an animation cycle in the goddamn intro.

I nominate Xiaolin Chronicles (a sequel/reboot hybrid). Outside of actually getting greenlit and aired, it was an absolute failure across the board.

>Chase Young's love interest is a female clone he made from himself
>Ping-Pong is Scrappy-Doo version of Omi
>Chase Young lays a fucking egg and spends the episode being a protective mother

It literally feels like scripts from fanfic.net were pulled to write some of the episodes and characters.

...

Wait, why is the cat girl black!?

>but to get quickly snatched away by some angry power-tripping executive that loves sabotaging everything in the name of control for another 10-20 years.
I'm gonna assume you're talking about the Lauren Faust Show, but I have no idea what the exec part is in reference to because I thought when the show became a hit, they gave the crew a lot more attention and respect? Compared to when they started and they were basically making the whole show in a closet because they didn't care since it wasn't Transformers.

the fact that I rarely see someone talking about this here in Sup Forums despite how bad it is makes me think everyone made a vow to pretend this shit never happened

God, this. What a fucking disaster. The people making it don't get what made the original great and probably never even watched the original, they use stale memes and inappropriate jokes (twerking? really? they're kindergartners), and there's an embarrassing number of animation errors.

Do kids even like it? Are the toys even selling? And how's their campaign to wipe the original from the public's memory going?

New episodes air on Boomerang now, which is CW's method of saying "Sorry, your show sucks, we moved it on the old stuff channel, we'll air there the last episodes you made and then you pick up your things in a cardboard box and leave to never be seen again"

>when the show became a hit, they gave the crew a lot more attention and respect?
Only for Season 2. By the end of that season, Rob Renzetti quit so the execs could start doing stuff like Cadance and Twilicorn.

I constantly forget that this and Code Lyoko got rebootquels

Thunderc...

okay, this is worse.

The thundercats reboot was disappointing because it started out with such promise. For ppg, everyone was like, "yeah this looks like shit."

/thread

What're you talki' 'bout. It captures all the charm of the original.

I watched the first episode of Rainbow Brite at the very least

How many episodes did it last exactly?

this is so embarrassingly awful that I wish everybody else was dead.

Teen Titans Go!, not just for what it is itself but because it provided the template that all of the other awful reboots sprang from.

If you don't have TTG, you don't have the new Powerpuff Girls and Cartoon Network is much less likely to switch to the bomb format for other shows since so much of its lineup isn't locked into one show.

dose this count?

>shit cartoon gets shit reboot
And nothing was lost

...

They never had real freedom. Faust and co are just betas with Stockholm syndrome which enjoy lying to themselves and to everyone else.
85% of the pitch bible was trashed.

In reality their "freedom" was "It's too cutesy, make it edgier. It's too edgy, make it cuter, it's too cute make it edgier." great fucking freedom, am I right?
But the freedom they had on how they wrote around the limitations ended after the first season when some random executive said "fuck off, my money, my show. You get to do what I tell you or you buzz off". The writers had their scripts trashed and replaced by the executive's versions. Every single time.

This guy is begging to be bullied IRL.

My gut instinct is nuPPG but

I forgot this existed. Yeah might have to go with that.

That's not the second season where they made George buff, and mixed up Magnolia and Ursula's names

I still don't think they were that bad.

>dat early late 90s/2000s cgi

Congratulations. You watched 1/3 of the series.

Oof, that bad, huh?

Short but sweet. I thought it had potential, but the odds were stacked against it.

Shit only three episodes?

What did you think of it?

Yep. Barely half an hour of content.

Thanks, Feeln.

...

>tfw your show only gets 3 episodes cause its on some network/streaming service nobody has or watches

>worst
You mean best.

The hype leading up to it here was fucking real too, everything seemed in place for it to be great and it just wasn't.

Seems like a good sign they didn't sell any toys, which says a lot for how badly they mangled the whole thing considering PPG is marketable as fuck just as a concept.

What happened to Wuya?

That's not Wuya, that's Chase Young's daughter/love interest. Her name is Shadow I think.

So what went wrong with this? Poor writing that doesn't hold up? From how much I remember the original X. Showdown wasn't The Last Airbender either.

>real world scenes are live action

What was the deal with this

it's like they made completely the opposite what made original successful

Normally reboots like to neuter scary things for "modern audiences", but this, they took Lurky who was a cute lil' plushie henchman and made him grotesque.

The original was already BUILT TO SELL TOYS.

Glad I never bothered watching it.

>when you waifu-fag a 5 year old girl so hard you make yourself a character to make it canon

Was Code Lyoko even good?
I just couldn't get over the artstyle.

Stealth Voltron is cool looking and no one will ever convince me otherwise.

At least I kind of like that each girl had their own shapes in their flying lines.

That's pretty much the only thing I'll praise this for.

The original?

I liked it I guess, but it was very much an "I just got home from school but MXC isn't on so it'll do" thing for me. I never really paid much attention. I think it gave me a thing for virtual waifus though. the recent popularity of stuff like kizuna ai has been a godsend in that department.

The reboot had better characters and writing. The original felt soulless, on side you had a bunch of perfectly cheerful and agreeable devoid of individuality (except for the red one who occasionally had to play the role of the lone dissenter).

The animation for the original was a billion times better though.

The ReBoot reboot, ironically and unfortunately.

It was decent and had great moments.
Also, like any other french animated kids show, it was full to the brim with fetish tier and sexually filled scenes and characters

Thanks for reminding me to look up porn of this.

Original Code Lyoko is great. Xana growing stronger and stronger each episode and the bleak situations were nice.

>mfw I remember they changed Xana's name to Xena in my country's dub because here xana is a slang therm for vagina

why

why would you draw these things

Going from using RTTP every episode to only using RTTP when a situation is so fucked up that there's no other option (as it makes the villain more powerful each time) was one of the best moves the show did in Season 2.

I watched Showdown as a kid and never once heard about this.
It must be terrible

>early xana had a plan to make everybodies phone ring in class so the teacher takes them away so they can't communicate later
>late xana starts fucking mind controlling people

Xana worked hard and deserved the buffs

...

Wtf. I know Lurky is a bad guy, but he's supposed to be cuddly looking.

It's like they took Rainbow Brite and turned into an edgy CN cartoon.

Why didn't they go down the mahou shoujo route for the Rainbow Brite reboot?

They don't even fucking RACE in all of the episodes. The very first episode is more like a Laff-A-Lympics episode than Wacky Races. Also it's not funny and there are very few racers in it.

That said, it wasn't the spectacular failure that was.

This is the only correct answer.

/thread

Those numbers tho

The core idea of Voltron Force wasn't *bad*, and the idea of the lions being able to combine in different formations was a fucking *great* idea.

But everything else about it was pretty bad.

>Cat-Nappy

I remember Sup Forums getting fucking crazy over that reboot a few years ago. I thought people liked it?

The absolute worst reboot of this decade will be ironic.

NuPPG proved without a doubt that the crew is what defines a good show rather than the concept.

wait, that was a thing?

3 episodes only. I for one liked it =/

I'm conflicted. I loved the original narcisistic fabulous Starlight, but I also love the new verbose stallion brohorse version.

Which version does the rest of Sup Forums like better?

>if they had the original PPG team on what and what not to do.
Hell I 'd rather have the Savino era style back.

>and respect
LMAO
When Hasnro figured out they had caught lightning in a bottle they took a stranglehold and begin to milk horses for all the money they could.

>Proffesionals got paid for this

This """""show""""" and Wabbit are why I don't ever want to see reboots of Duck Dodgers or MLAATR, even though I love them both.

I liked Starlight more when she was a sexy soccer mom with bangs as opposed to Twilight number 2 version 2

I honestly kind of liked it. Live Action Odd was pretty great. Jeremy and Sissi were alright. Everybody else is forgettable.

And?
>it's bad cause it made money
Fuck off pinko commie, seriously

> I know the executives meddled constantly and gave no creative freedom, against all available evidence including what the creators themselves said.

That is how dumb you sound.

> 85% of the pitch bible was trashed

Read the damn pitch bible, if you aren't too stupid to find the leak. That's basically what we got. Everything survived.

Renzetti never wanted to do that show, especially not long term for what Hasbro was willing to pay. Faust begged to get him for a season to get things off the ground.
