id love to see you cover code lyoko, but all of those shows sounds great
YESSSSS!!! Code Lyoko is one of my favorite shows of all time!
Also... heh, good luck with Chronicles. I've heard that show is not so good...
😬
22:33 because you count sheep to sleep. Astro-projection is kinda sleep themed.
Let me just tell you, read the wiki in prep for season 2, not that it help as thing get complicated quickly.
How about more older shows like Chaotic or Sonic X.
I think the Sheep talisman is linked to the idea of counting sheep when you're sleeping.
Yeah that was my thought, I can easily draw a logic line between astral projection and dream powers/sleep
The only 2 I can't figure out are the dog talisman's immortality and the pig's laser eyes.
He even referred to Jade astral projecting as “sleeping”
@@MrDj232For the dog, I think it's supposed to be the near endless amount of energy dogs have (as someone who's been around dogs her whole life, I can attest to this).
As for the laser eyes... Yeah, I have no idea. Maybe some messed up joke about bacon?
Also a possible reference to the book "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"
Uncle's parents when he was born: "Yep, that's an Uncle if I have ever seen one."
😭
This statement was followed by the baby slapping the father across the face with 2 fingers
Xiaolin Showdown and now Jackie Chan Adventures? Dude you are nailing it with the nostalgia trips.
Thank you, that is what I was hoping for😄
All that it is missing now is american dragon!
“I’m not sure how he got so good at martial arts”
He’s Jackie Chan.
Ok but he’s an archaeologist who happens to be named Jackie Chan in this timeline😭
@@Colby2D I mean Uncle has been implied to train him
@@Colby2D Being good at martial arts is like a multiverse constant for jackie chan
@@Colby2D He's Jackie Chan. It comes free with the name
@colby2D nah it’s the other way around, he’s Jackie Chan that just happens to be an archaeologist in this timeline
As someone who loves this show ONE MORE THING living in my mind forever
I can still recite "yu mo gui gwai fai di zhao"
There is also the classic "BAD DAY BAD DAY BAD DAY"!
I STILL use the quote "One more thing" like Uncle sometimes.
Ayaaaa
I tried so hard to look up what uncle was saying during the chi spell, thank you so much lol
It never occurred to me how right you are in saying Jade is basically the Scrappy Doo of this show. Jade proves a Scrappy Doo style character can work if written well, as she was often one of the better parts of the episodes
def helps that this show wasn't made in the 70s when severe restrictions were enforced on what was/wasn't allowed to be done and just a different time in general.
I'll counter with Scrappy was a good character in his first show he appeared in and the last show he appeared in. It's just Hannah Barbara ruined the Scooby-Doo formula and used Scrappy as a scape goat.
Yeah I generally actually liked the character while yes he was annoying at points but to be honest It barely affected
@@bigkirbyhj666 Yeah, the problem with him in those middle episodes is just that he's annoying and cocky, but rarely does anything useful. Jade is similar in that she is annoying and cocky sometimes, but she's also allowed enough agency to rescue Jackie sometimes, like in the season 1 finale.
@@LucianDevine the problem with those middle episodes are infact it's not Scooby-Doo in any way except for having shaggy and scooby.
1 hour video essay on Jackie Chan adventures to put in my headphones at work? Yes, please.
I’ve been debating whether to upload on Saturday or Monday mornings and some friends tell me Monday is good so they can listen at work, so this is cool to hear thank you lol
You read my mind!
@@Colby2Dcan second that most of this was listened to at work
The thing about Jakie Chan adventures, is that it's basically a Jakie Chan movie turned into an animated series. In most of his movies, Jakie happens to be a guy who knows kung fu that gets mixed up with some bad guy or crime syndicate, so him being an archeologist who knows martial arts, is par for the course.
Yeah it’s always a funny character to be kinda down to earth and just so happen to have these cool martial arts powers, makes him easy to root for
@@Colby2Dlol oop
Fun Fact: The mega-popular franchise being called "Gnome Cop" in-universe is in reference to the IRL biggest franchise at the time. They had to change a few letters for grammar, but "Gnome Cop" is basically "Pokemon" backwards.
Wow I didn’t even think of gnomekop as pokemong! I was just like robo cop but a gnome? That is so funny
The best part is that the G is silent.
@@Colby2D*Pokemon
You know those "Who would win in a fight, X or Y?" conversations? My friends and I have this rule that, if Jackie Chan is one of the people involved, his chances of winning go up exponentially based on the amount of furniture in the room where the fight happens.
That is such a funny note, like "batman with prep time", "jackie chan with furniture"
It’s very funny how close this show is to original Dragon Ball. The martial arts focus, gathering a set of mystic items to summon a dragon, even Jackie Chan acts and looks like older Goku (except with normal hair). Very cool to think about.
It often gets compared to Xiaolin showdown, but when this came out, dragon ball may have been one of the few big comparisons to make
But this time the dragon's evil!
Ox for strength, check.
Rabbit speed, Rooster flight, explosive blasts from Dragon, Dog to survive things that should ABSOLUTELY have killed you.
Yeah we got the full package, even for late OG Dragonball. Hell, with the Dog and Horse, you could do the Piccolo arm regen potentially
In the Brazillian dub, Jackie shares his voice with Goku (and spongebob)
jack chan adventures almost feels like an interlude form the good timeline
where western animation went more like anime and became action/ comedy focused
instead of whatever the cocomelon happened to cartoon network rest in piece
I know the kid's WB had Yu Gi Oh and the OG run of Pokemon, but Jackie Chan Adventures was by far my favorite show of the whole lineup. Absolutely goated cartoon and to this day I have an unwavering and genuine appreciation for Jackie Chan and his career.
Yeah I wish I watched it more I think I only caught it while waiting for those two!
@@Colby2D It's still a good watch as an adult! I rewatched maybe six years back now and since then I've just been waiting on a UA-camr to do a 5 hour deep dive lmao.
Who hasn't sometimes quoted Uncle or Jackie with "One more thing..." or "Bad Day"
Men in black was really
Good too
One of the things that I love most about the Jackie Chan cartoon, even when future seasons goes off the rail in terms of finding item of the day, is that the characters from previous episodes actually returns and it’s nice to see all of the chemistry from the dynamic when they return
And one more thing, how I really like Uncles and Torhu relationships delvelops, and Torhu relationship with the family progress in future episodes
Yeah the characters definitely have been growing on me especially tohru, him talking about how he misses Jade while dusting a vase is so funny to me
The Sheep Talisman lets the user astral project in their dreams because people count sheep to fall asleep.
Jackie Chan adventures was so great because of how simple it was. It took full advantage of being a cartoon while respecting the audience and having good characters.
Yeah the animation looked great, and had a nice balance of realistic action and magic
That elevator gag has to be my favorite. I really want to know more about how much the bad guys get paid. Especially since the whole organization seems to occasionally have money problems. Do they have insurance?
I know section 13 has a good dental plan but I doubt Dark Hand has any benefits lol
They do have insurance but it is worded to not cover injuries related to archeologists. The people taking the job assume that is a non issue.
@@Colby2DIIRC, Valmont's shtick is that he *does* take good care of his people. And he's all the more dangerous for it. The few times he's not like that, it bites him *hard.*
You think he ever has to introduce himself with "Uncle Chan... No relation."
I like that the wiki doesn’t even say “Uncle Chan” just “Uncle” lol
I can't help but love how enthusiastic you are about JC using a shield properly. 10/10 based choreography
Lol I’m just a guy who loves shields😭
@@Colby2D it's honestly a really creative way to fight that i never gave enough credit to. They could have made the whole thing have a bunch of typical a action film -style martial arts weapons. Instead they have Jackie CHAD winning with a shield.
A lot fewer people dislike Scrappy Doo now that he killed Velma in Velma. He's a hero
Lol yeah I heard about that, I was like “why is scrappy doo trending?”
A part of me wants to believe the Velma show is all a part of a big convoluted plot to get people to realize they've been so hard on Scrappy.
In the UK this was one of those shows that got passed around syndication on different channels. So the show would air for like a month on BBC then after a while the next season would pop up on Cartoon Network but then it would stop, and the previous seasons would start airing on Disney/Jetix.
That’s interesting, I think it was similar in the US, it was on kids wb, Cartoon Network, and toon Disney/jetix
Astral projection leaves your body uncounscious, sleeping you could say, and you count sheeps to fall asleep
Thank you, that makes much more sense than what I was thinking. The other one people are confused on is the pig talisman, but I think people have come to the conclusion it’s referencing the saying “in a pigs eye”
"I see theyve never watched mucha lucha"
Epic foreshadowing there.
Now that's a show I remember that and Yin Yang Yo
Mucha lucha should be sometime this summer lol
@@Colby2D what about Yin Yang Yo? Thinking of trying that show?
Jackie stealing Chau's (Chao?) glasses and jacket and then CHASING THEIR CAR AS THEY FLEE is insanity oh my god I need to rewatch this.
Evil Jackie was really a problem
Yeah don't know how to spell his name without looking it up either. But I thought he and the other two, Finn and Ratso, were great. And how they were constant through out the series, getting turned into different things for other villains to be their henchmen. Lol
This was one of my favorite shows as a kid. Still holds up all these years later.
The sheep makes you fall asleep and the pig turns the target into crispy bacon.
The heat beam eye blast was bacon! Of course😅
Damn. This MoFo don't miss.
I appreciate it🥺
For those who didn't grow up with this on the air, this show was a reason wake up early on a Saturday morning.
They really had me setting an alarm on Saturdays
The masks especially fascinated AND scared me as a child. They were super cool but kid me was frightened of getting it stuck to my face lmao
If you’re talking about the Oni masks, honestly it was pretty creepy
@@Colby2D yeah I am talking about those! But I'll say I did alsp particularly love them, and they sparked an interest in Youkai and other Japanese mythical creatures for me at a young age ^^
This choice was a PERFECT selection to follow up on the Xiolan Showdown series
Thank you😄 it was a fun shift to go from one to the other
36:31 One of my favorite characters from this show; every second he's on-screen is just gold; from his actually being stronger than the protagonists in most fights, to the hilarious way he names his attacks, and especially his interactions with the talismans and other magical elements of the show, just too perfect lol
I like him naming his attacks like it’s half tai chi half him just being the wild card lol
Hak foo was so extra lol.
Damn i couldve sworn he was in it a lot more than 1 episode.
I think he returns in future seasons
@@cdogthehedgehog6923 They've got another 4 seasons to go through; he definitely makes a few more appearances
I just spoke uncle's line after he knocked out captain black. That's official, that's a core memory
He was so real in that scene
Time
Valmont in this show, Like everyone looks relatively fitting in show and theres Valmont with his fate/stay night design and hair vents
Omg😭 I can totally see it. I feel like Finn could also look like a couple specific anime characters maybe
Out of all legendary martial artists that are also entertainers Jackie Chan seems to be the perfect fit for a children's cartoon based on his likeness unlike most just because he has a naturally bubbly personality that feels just perfect for a lighthearted action cartoon
Yeah he’s definitely the right amount of silly where the action movies from the early 2000s were a good combo of badass and funny
it surely is a breath of fresh air
now it seems that every single cartoon must be either the most jaded/ sarcastic/ 4chanpilled shit possible
a rip-off of family guy
or a rip-off of cocomelon
with literally nothing in between
nah, rambo and robocop are better for kids /s
10:58 Aw, glossed over one of the funniest recurring gags of this show; Tohru saying "I hate fish" in just the most deadpan voice lmao
That’s so funny, I wasn’t even thinking of that line, I do love that scene though lol
This was the Best cartoon Ever. Needs a complete series dvd set.
Jackie Chan is a cartoon character irl
i wish. he kinda sucks irl
dude is too goated he got that toon force in him
Jackie Chan Adventures was such a jam, definitely couldn't exist at any other point in time, the 2000's were weird.
Saying Jackie Chan has a "background" in the Hong Kong film industry is wild.
I should’ve said past or history lol, didn’t mean to undermine it
@@Colby2D it's not factually wrong but it just doesn't feel right.
@@TBDF12not even dude, it's literally the correct phrase to use, and the connotations of someone having a background in something is no small thing. If you think it doesn't feel right, that's on you.
I think the sheep talisman ability is based on the idea that you count sheep to go to sleep
I think I tried it once because my grandma told me to as a kid, it didn’t work😭
"Its weird that they dont mention that jade was defending the kid from the bully" this hasn't mattered in public school within my lifetime. Teachers have been punishing both the instigator and the defender for as long as I was in school and definitely since.
True, was the same for me
I was gonna explain the sheep meaning, but I saw that was taken care of. I think I can explain pig, though. It may come from the expression "pig's eye," which means strong disagreement or saying something cannot happen. And we get that in a pig having laser eyes as well as a pun in the heat beam laser eyes.
And good to find someone that isn't hating on Scrappy. I never hated Scrappy or Jade and find them fun, adventurous characters willing to be proactive in what they do.
Looking forward to seeing season 2!
Thanks! I’ve never heard the pigs eye expression before, that’s really interesting
THIS SHOW IS AMAZING
As another note,
Something I noticed as a child was the backgrounds. They are SO unique. I love it!
Fun Fact: In one Jackie Chan movie Jackie gets hit into a Street Fighter arcade machine, gets electrocuted, which causes him to temporarily change his clothes to Chun Li's outfit and fights like her.
I call it the "Chan Li" moment.
YES, THIS WAS MY CHULDHOOD, id forgotten what it was called, thank you for making this video
I’m glad you found it, it’s a fun show and I plan to cover the others from that morning block of Kids WB. And thank you SO MUCH for the huge super thanks!! I really appreciate it more than I can properly express here, but it really does help a lot
@@Colby2Dwait, this is just the first season, my favorite season is the one with all the shadow masks
Oh yeah they have the oni masks too! I definitely plan to cover more in the near future!
@@Colby2D i cant wait! Which shadows are your favorite? Mine are the tiny little doods
@@AxekyI don’t remember which mask does what, but tarakudo stands out to me the most!
These character designs are so wild. I forgot how good this show was.
The head shapes and complexions are very unique and I vibe with it lol
I work with a few archaeologists and i often say when i learn thats their job, I don't only work with them just a few, i say that when i think of archaeology i think of jackie chan and it throws them for a loop.
the speech in episode 11 about his job is why i always think of him honestly.
That’s really funny, I never associated him with archaeology despite this show.
@@Colby2D It's only because of that speech that it sticks with me so strongly honestly.
just like i only specifically remember entomologists are people who study bugs because of a scene in star trek deep space nine.
Absolutely endlessly adore this show. Ever season is a banger.
I’m definitely looking forward to checking out more beyond the first 2 seasons sometime
i learned the meaning of the word redundant from this show when one of the goons has two talismans but they are the horse and dog so he says "immortality AND regeneration thats redundant" basically they do the same thing so he feels cheated.
That's pretty funny! I felt that way with pokemon I learned so many random words and things from it
Just because you can’t die, doesn’t mean you still can’t feel pain. In some cases, people ask for the sweet release of death when they can’t handle living in perpetual agony anymore.
It’s just like Finn said in the episode you’re referring to, “Immortality hurts”.
So my question of the video is "What did we learn from this video?" And the answer is and must always be "MAGIC MUST DEFEAT MAGIC!"
The 12 talismans powers
Rooster Talisman: Levitation
Pig Talisman: Heat Beam Eyes
Dog Talisman: Immortality/Youthfulness
Dragon Talisman: Combustion (Fire Blasts)
Monkey Talisman: ShapeShift a person or object into any animal the wielder thinks of.
Rabbit Talisman: Super Speed
Ox Talisman: Super Strength
Tiger Talisman (when split into 2 pieces): Splits good and evil halves of the wielder
Horse Talisman: Healing
Snake Talisman: Invisibility
Rat Talisman: Reanimates inanimate objects (Motion to the motionless)
Sheep Talisman: Astral Projection (Wielder goes to sleep while their astral self has an out of body experience)
It always surprises me the art style of this show didn’t have a last impact in animation.
Yeah it looks so much better than I remember and the animation has aged perfectly
So when you were talking about how to activate the talisman in episode 4, i don't have the definite answer but i believe i do know
I don't remember every episode, but in a later season, the bad guy henchmen have the snake talisman, while they're driving away in a truck. One of them has the idea to put it in the cassette player (or something similar, i don't remember) and it turns the truck invisible (but not the people). This leads me to believe that applying pressure to the talisman is simply enough to activate the powers, and it turned the statue of liberty invisible because the toes gave it enough pressure
Also not even spoiler worthy in case anyone wonders. Assuming my memory is correct, its like a 10 second gag that doesn't have any major impact on the episode
That makes sense! Other talisman like the horse would only activate when the holder sneezes so I just kinda assume some talisman have random activations
This man gives us the content we want. SUBBED!
I really appreciate it man
Would definitely love a 2 hour video about season 2!
1:13 "...using the shield as a shield." No notes. This is perfect.
Shields gonna shield what can I say😭
huh... Idk I feel like I remember them saying all the names of the henchmen in the show.
Green guy is Ratso, redhead is Finn, and sunglasses is Chow.
Now you know.
I may not have heard them mention them much throughout the seasons, but it’s kinda funny how little they say their names.
@@Colby2D Maybe I need to rewatch... oh no, what a horrible fate. (actually been waiting years for an excuse to rewatch it)
Lmao! I was hoping you'd do this one next. Another childhood favorite.
Thank you I’m glad you’re here!
Crossover between Jackie Chan adventures and Mike Tyson mysteries that would be the bomb
It would be, but who wins in a fight?
Wow, I remember loving this show as a kid, but I didn't realize just how good the action animation was until now!
Me too, I think all the kids wb shows look so much better than I give credit for
Wow 16 veiws in 2 minutes, you really popped off
Lol thank you, I was very sad I couldn’t get this uploaded on the weekend so I’m happy people are still checking it out
22:41 the astral projecting sheep thing is because it is common to "count sheep" to help you fall asleep, which is also the state someone astral projecting would externally appear as doing. Pkus fluffy wool = clouds, and clouds also connect to sleeping
That’s a good point, and now I want to go back to sleep that sounds so comfy
One of the things that made this show popular is that it came out right around the time Pokemon was huge and collect-a-thons were really big at the time, both in Pokemon and Nintendo 64 platformers like Banjo-Kazooie. So the built in premise of the show, unintentionally, made it mirror Pokemon's success in "collecting them all" and getting badges. Only with the show, it was talismans and secret doors and boss fights and such. That's why I loved the show so much as a kid; the hook was perfect, at the time.
That’s a great point. The talismans are a great little collectible too for this, and the later seasons definitely wanted to keep it going like with the oni mask of the week instead of talismans
Have fun with the rest of the series, and I only wish I could experience it all for the first time again.
Thank you! I’ll probably cover season 2 next weekend, not sure if I’ll go over the rest after that, or maybe combine the later seasons into one big recap
This should have a netflix live action remake but the cartoon bits replace the live action as a topsyturvey nod lol also sheep is astralprojecting im guessing cause when people have trouble sleeping they may dream of Sheep jumping fence.
Better do live action then transition to animation during events that can't be acted in real life. Make it funny by making the thugs woke women but Jade roasts and always beats them.
I think there’s a cgi show that came out a few years ago, I’ll need to look into it
@@Jaiden_Anime_Shuns there's this one Korean ( I think I may be racist tho) superheroine show who's name I can't remember but her doing anime stuff in live action was godly hilarious, which is why i think Jackie Adventures could pull it off
@@Colby2D lmfao that's wild to hear, I never would expect a CGI rehash of it
This was the shit back in the day 🥲
this show is still popular in India, mainly in South India, I am from Chennai, this show was dubbed in Tamil and was a rage back then, It will always be my favourite animated show ever
That is so cool to hear, thank you for sharing your story, I love that we can all connect with this even being far away from each other
This content is GOATed with the sauce. Really hope you'll do more video essays about JCA. Its was one of my favorite shows as a kid, and I havent been able to find it on any streaming sites, so im absolutely down for more of this format.
Thank you. And yeah it’s on UA-cam channel called throwback toons!
I used to really like Jackie Chan adventures and I even rewatched some episodes about a year ago. It's a little harder to enjoy the series when you hear about how Jackie treats his daughter, his infidelity, and his ties to communist China.
11:36 Also, I watched a video essay or documentary on youtube (I think) which claimed he didn't actually do all his stunts, just a lot of them. So basically, he's a liar and a hypocrite too.
I need to check out the documentary that seems interesting, and yeahh I was finding out more about the situation while editing this video, I didn’t know much about it before making this video
Bro, first Xiaolin Showdown now Jackie Chan's Adventures? You're reviving my entire childhood!!!
Aw im happy to hear that lol, that’s what I’m here for😄
Quickly becoming one of my favorite channels, keep up the good work! : )
Thank you that really means a lot🙂
Nostalgia!!!
Best Cartoon Show!!!
Woah, hold on there, brother. You JUST finished talking about Xiaolin Showdown, one of my childhood favorites. In 2024 no less. Now you're on to Jackie Chan Adventures? Keep this up and I'll just have to stick around long term.
Thank you, I hope to cover more shows you like in the future!
Great video brother. I was 9 or 10 when this came out and watched it after school because i loved JC my dad first showed me rumble in the bronx when i was maybe 7 and was hooked for life.
That is so awesome, I still need to check out rumble in the Bronx but I had a similar experience with my family and his movie The Tuxedo
@@Colby2D dude it's simply the best and i believe its free on tubi
Oh man, I remember watching this show when I was a kid, I loved it! It was what introduced me to Jackie Chan in the first place!
I didn't know people hated Jade though. I never had any strong feelings towards her.
Yeah I remember watching the suit and just thinking “oh it’s the guy from Jackie Chan” lol
Jackie Chan saying he is afraid every time he makes a big stunt is such an important lesson, showing it's okay to worry, but also to continue fighting.
Very true
I absolutely adore this show. Every few years or so I give it a rewatch. It's a show that I feel holds up really well. Fantastic stuff
It’s a fun show! Holds up better than I expected!
What great timing per usual, my man. Hope you had a good weekend and thanks again for the content! 🙏🏿
Thank you man I really appreciate it. Weekend was full of technical difficulties for this video but getting comments like yours makes it all worth it thank you
Of course! We appreciate your good vibes and the effort out into all ya do man 😊🙏🏿
@@Colby2Dalso! I figured the sheep was along the lines of like counting sheep, since there's tons of myths about astro projection while sleeping and dreams. Still a stretch tho lol
Thanks for organizing actual clips to relive the nostalgia - here after the showdown video keep up the good stuff
thank you for watching! I'm glad you appreciate the visuals because it can be a bit of a pain to try to time up the clips sometimes
can we talk about how toro was about to gut jade open, but later we welcome him to the team and turns to the nurturing protecting type? like i always found that shift in tone wild idk why
Yeah lol like I would still be salty if I was Jade but their friendship in season 2 is so sweet he’s basically her nanny lol
The henchmen look like Yakuza enemies, and it's a perfect fit.
Lol especially Finn the red haired one
🎉🥳🐲You did this series justice! I didn't know there were five seasons.I thought 3. This is such a entertaining show Jackie Chan is the GOAT And those elevator scenes are hilarious 🤣 Would you kindly cover more seasons pretty please ? The shading gives it a timeless comic book style 🐣🦔
Thank you, I just uploaded my video on season 2!
I'm a huge fan of Jackie Chan Adventures. Growing up I knew this show was going to be something that'll be enjoyed for decades. I highly recommend seeing all the seasons and giving your intake of those episodes. In the yin/yang tiger talisman episode where you see 2 Jackies, I was surprised you didn't mention films where there were two Jackies. So, I'm guessing you haven't seen them. They're worth watching. Very funny and entertaining. "Twin Dragons" has twin Jackies. "Forbidden Kingdom" has Jackie Chan playing multiple characters (plus Jet Li).
Thank you, I’ll have to check those out, I haven’t seen them before!
Sheep are closely associated with sleep for a large number of reasons across many cultures, so I'm not surprised it's tied to Astral projection.
36:31
Literally Akuma lol
Patience on the monkey episode makes sense. Every time they used the talisman hastily, it caused more trouble than good. When Jade was patient and thought carefully she came up with a solution that didn't even need the talisman. I find it crazy that Jackie looks younger at 70 years old than he did during Jackiechan adventures
That makes sense, and yes I also think hak foo looks like akuma!
30:11 this part you mentioned is a nod to “Rumble in the Bronx”, when Jackie actually broke his foot and wore a cast during the water scene. The part where he broke his foot made it into the movie as well.
I thought that part looked familiar! I’ll have to check out the movie, thanks
Not only is this series great (well, my 10 year old self sees it that way), but the animation is top tier for America at the time. It's got its own aesthetic and is just plain charming.
Yeah it aged great too which isn’t always the case
Love this style of video, keep up the good shows!
Thank you very much🙂
I had the ps2 game of jackie chan adventures, and I had a blast everytime I played it. I'm loving seeing these shows from my childhood in their entireties and your takes on it.
Thanks for watching! And I was debating streaming the ps2 game sometime lol
I like that Jade's parents also call Uncle Uncle.
"Uncle is also YOUR Uncle?"
"Well, he really IS our cousin, but ..."
Also, there's a Chinese Opera episode, which has them sing authentically on stage. (Which is unfortunate, because l hate the way Chinese Opera has to be sung. It sounds like squealing to me.) This is a reference to how Jackie Chan worked in Chinese Opera before being an actor.
That is really interesting! I don't think I saw the opera episode but I saw the scene with Jade's parents as part of the season 2 video I'm finishing uploading!
@@Colby2D Yeah, you didn't see the Opera episode yet, then. I checked the episode list, it's in Season 3.
God I loved this show when I was a kid. Thank you for covering it. It was so fun watching you walk thru it's first season. I can't wait to see you cover the next season and beyond :D
Thanks!! I think I’m gonna cover season 2 next weekend! Have a video set for this weekend on totally spies first
El Toro was always one of my favorite characters
He was pretty great!
I love this and hope you do more essays on the next seasons of Jackie Chan Adventures
Thank you, I’ll definitely consider continuing jackie Chan in the near future
I loved this show growing up, and btw Mexico also has mummies :)
Nice video, love your essays!
Thanks for watching! And that’s true, I probably should’ve mentioned that when the villains were saying “this isn’t egypt” lol
Very detailed and awesome. Great work, and you earned a sub/like
This show was such a fever dream. No joke, this video unlocked a slew of childhood memories lol
Lol it’s very whacky in the most y2k way
Loved this show as a kid. Looking forward to seeing more of it on your next videos
Thank you! Season 2 is out now🙂
Absolutely crazy that you popped up in my recommendations with Xiolin Showdown and also covered Jackie Chan. Probably 2 or my favourite cartoons growing up. If you’re looking at other shows to cover I’d definitely recommend Ultimate Muscle
I’ve never seen ultimate muscle, but I feel like that would make a great video, it’s definitely very whacky! Thanks for watching
Now this was a show! I came for Jackie Chan, but I stayed for Uncle. I LOVED Uncle.
Uncle is pretty goated, him and tohru are probably the top 2 for me lol
@@Colby2D Tohru was pretty great, too. But Uncle never failed to crack me up.
This was one of my favorite shows growing up. I think the show still kinda holds up today! 😇
Yeah it definitely still holds up for me, great animation, good action, funny dialogue, not really dated with references or anything
Really liked the Xiaolin Showdown series and a couple other vids, and looking forward to more of Jackie Chan Adventures and whatever else you do in the future, so... Definitely earned the subscription.
Thank you very much!!
