      mind-blown that the mad-max parody episode end up becoming mad-max fury road and the writer working on it.

      Same here; it's pretty incredible... and 20 freakin years after the fact too. Crazy.

    Hexadecimal remains my favorite villain in animation. Shirley Milner's delivery played no small part in that. She was simply perfect for the role.

    • @BullSession
      @BullSession  6 років тому +6

      Yup; she's in contention with Tony Jay for the best of the voice cast.

    • @MidoseitoAkage
      @MidoseitoAkage 2 роки тому

      Megabyte is my favorite vilain along with Hexadecimal.

    • @michaelandreipalon359
      @michaelandreipalon359 Рік тому +2

      Shocking that Shirley never got more notable voice roles afterwards (though she did well as Sister Yolanda from the English dub of Black Lagoon).

      That was a great little touch.

  • @dagger1580
    @dagger1580 3 роки тому +14

    Season 2 really made Megabyte into one of the best tv villains of all time! I'll never forget seeing the season 2 finale when he sent bob to the web! it was shocking not too many kids shows at the time got rid of the main character and allowed the villain to win and reboot did it brilliantly

    • @truckercowboyed2638
      @truckercowboyed2638 3 місяці тому

      And ultimately it ended with the real possibility that megabyte would actually win it all...since season 4 ended in a cliffhanger

    Been watching your videos the last few weeks due to following the train wreck that is "The Guardian Code." Been enjoying it, but as much as I love ReBoot it's not quite enough to get me to-

    • @BullSession

      Yup! Trying to turn the guardian code into a positive experience for myself through revisiting all these classics. Glad to have you aboard, captain Kuchiki.

  • @JurassicRod
    @JurassicRod 6 років тому +17

    I'm glad you're covering Beast Wars too. Mainframe Entertainment owned me in the late 90s. It's all i would think about all day at school. What would happen next in the cartoons, what new ReBoot and Beast Wars toys I would find at the weekend whilst shopping. I too watched Web World Wars as it first aired. My god the gap between that and season 3 felt eternal as a child!

    • @BullSession
      @BullSession  6 років тому +2

      It really did seem to take forever. I remember actually being surprised it ended up coming back when it did

    • @JurassicRod
      @JurassicRod 6 років тому

      Initially int he UK they repeated the last few episodes of season 2 before airing season 3 so when I initially saw ReBoot was back on and tuned in I was so disappointed it was just repeats. Thank god a few episodes later I was blown away by the first episode of season 3. Right from the get go it was so much more cinematic in it's shots and with the improved CGI too it just seemed amazing.

  • @Hecubusx
    @Hecubusx 6 років тому +15

    Mainframe Studio was so ahead of its time.

    • @BullSession
      @BullSession  6 років тому +2

      It really was. Now-a-days though it's more like behind the times...

  • @AmethystinePython
    @AmethystinePython 6 років тому +13

    HOLY CRAP, you absolutely blew my mind with the Fury Road / Bad Bob connection! Why are there not more people freaking out about that part?! That's so cool!
    I really liked these videos, even though I knew basically all this stuff beforehand. It's just great to hear someone talking about the show in general, since almost no one I know now ever watched it.

    • @BullSession
      @BullSession  6 років тому

      I know, that blew my mind as well!
      It's true, there's almost nobody in my life who's familiar with ReBoot in any way other than vague recollection. In some ways, The Guardian Code has done some good in that all us 20somethings that remember and loved ReBoot and getting to reminisce about it online.

    • @AmethystinePython
      @AmethystinePython 6 років тому +2

      Or, you know, 30somethings. >__> I was ten when the show came out, which was kind of the perfect time, in a way. The show got darker and more mature as I turned 11, and I was 13 when season 3 kicked off, with its much-improved visuals and sudden desperation at the loss of Bob. Heck, Reboot even played into my discovery of Bond (which continues to be a franchise I cherish), with the Firewall episode.
      Goldeneye007 was released in August, and I watched the film it was based on, then played the game, then Firewall was broadcast in September. I taped all the episodes back then, so when I rewatched it later, after catching most of the old Bond films on TV that fall, it suddenly made a lot more sense, and I realized the cultural cache Bond held, I suppose.
      Anyway, my point was that Reboot's shift into the 'lost in the net' and the journey through the Web and the dark, dramatic return to Mainframe occurred parallel to my own development of appreciation for deeper, more serious storylines. Or Reboot might have even been one of the key things that made me appreciate that sort of material in general. (I'm probably giving it too much credit, though, I'm sure I was consuming other more
      mature media somewhere).

    • @AmethystinePython
      @AmethystinePython 6 років тому

      I'd also like to encourage you (as others already have) to check out 'Shadow Raiders', aka 'War Planets', the other-other Mainframe show from back then. It seemed even more emotionally relevant/potent than Reboot, often. -- Also, we all know about beast wars/beasties, but you know about Beast Machines, right?

  • @ShadowCatGambit
    @ShadowCatGambit 6 років тому +11

    I really like what you brought up about AndrAIa. It's one of those things that kids don't realize when we first watch it, but eventually we figure out exactly what happened. It's a moment of incredibly sharp writing that I admire so much. It demonstrates just how much creative effort the team put into the show. Another episode I admire for writing is Identity Crisis parts 1 and 2. I find that it's probably the best written story I've ever seen about believing in oneself.

    • @BullSession
      @BullSession  6 років тому +5

      I've watched through ReBoot something like 2 or 3 times since the DVDs came out, and this was the first time I noticed that detail about AndrAIa. Very sharp piece of writing, indeed.

    • @michaelandreipalon359
      @michaelandreipalon359 Рік тому +1

      There's also the moment between her and Enzo on S3E2 "Between A Raccoon & A Hard Place", where she just keeps on going with the steamroller (against the darn User varmint Rocky the Raccoon) despite Enzo's fear of her Icon not working properly.
      For a young sprite with a then unrequited crush on the kid who gave a lot to her, she sure is willing to take sacrifices so to keep the love of her life and the ones he holds there safe and sound... we don't see such characters that often in television and even movies, games, and books.

      One can almost argue. since it was so close in plot, to be inspiration for the movie Oblivion, But it may have just been a coincidence

  • @alexlemonds2838
    @alexlemonds2838 6 років тому +5

    Speaking of Tony Jay you should review Disney's Hunchback somewhere down the road so you can talk about his other most iconic role Claude Frollo. Hellfire, dark fire, now gypsy it's your turn...

  • @lieutenantyoshi5704
    @lieutenantyoshi5704 6 років тому +10

    Bad Bob was the most memorable episode for me and my favorite of season 2. I remember in the late 90's my friends arguing with each other whether Megabyte was a truck or a train in the episode, but reruns on Toonami finally ended that debate.

    • @BullSession
      @BullSession  6 років тому +2

      Megatrain would also have been pretty metal.

  • @Alfazil
    @Alfazil 6 років тому +27

    I loved the fact in that sentai Power Ranger styled episode, Phong's office was Jeff Tracy's office from Thunderbirds. Complete with secret launch routes to get to the machines.

      Oh that's awesome! I totally missed that.

  • @Enzo_Matrix92

    After all these years of rewatching the show...I just noticed little AndrAIa looks like she's really high with those bloodshot eyes.

    • @BullSession
      @BullSession  6 років тому +1

      hahaha yea I noticed that this time around too. Also that shot where Megabyte picks up Enzo by the neck his eyes are postively rose!

      Will always be Beasties to me :) Ah censorship but tbh I think forcing the staff to use show names that aren't quite so...on the nose made for more creative titles. E.g. War Planets vs. Shadow Raiders

    • @BullSession
      @BullSession  6 років тому +9

      Yea, I remember having my mind somewhat blown when I found out the show was called "Beast Wars" everywhere else. I always like to imagine an alternate universe where "Star Wars: Clone Wars" was called "Starries: Clonies" here in Canada

    Despite how dated Season 1 looked I think it looks better than season 4, which looked so over done that it approaches uncanny valley territory.

    • @BullSession

      This is something I'll definitely be adressing in my review of season 4.

  • @NebLleb
    @NebLleb 6 років тому +6

    Ah, yes. the season where my favourite episode, the Web World Wars arc, comes from!
    Seriously, the WWW arc has it all: great action, tense sequences, great writing, and a bleak, yet defiant cliffhanger.

    • @NebLleb
      @NebLleb 6 років тому +1

      And wait. Was the joke involving Bob calling out the Kirk and Picard spoofs about how they triggered an explosion inside the planet a reference to the premise of Star Trek: Generations?

    • @BullSession
      @BullSession  6 років тому

      It sure seemed like it to me; if not then the copyright flag I got for that clip was totally not worth it.

    @darkdremora4436 6 років тому +2

    You pretty much have to go and revisit the Seasons from the original series. It's the only way to remind you that the name _ReBoot_ was/is connected to a show that was/is phenomenal, and groundbreaking for its time... As opposed to the _Guardian Code_ which is just an abomination that doesn't even know which series it wants to rip off.

    • @BullSession
      @BullSession  6 років тому +1

      Yup! That's why I'm doing this.

  • @GeteMachine
    @GeteMachine 2 роки тому +2

    Hexadecimal's character and voice was always what I like to hypothetically imagine Harley Quinn or more likely now Punchline to be like essentially if she ever actually had become like the Joker herself and not just his henchwoman. Especially that underrated Mark Hamil tier laugh Hexidecimal's VA always nails. Its just such a loss to think that she never voiced a Batman or Disney villain character with it.

  • @Gorix17
    @Gorix17 5 років тому +3

    That Andraia bit made me feel horrible, poor thing. I love ReBoot season 2, but only ten episodes makes it feel too short, especially since Bob gets axed and I felt we needed a few more episodes with him as lead protagonist. He's just really cool and likeable. I also would have liked to see more of the Code Masters later on but the systems Enzo & Andraia explore still really made the universe feel big.

    • @BullSession
      @BullSession  5 років тому +2

      Haha, yea the Code Masters are never even mentioned again in the show after that one episode. They do show back up in the comic though.

    It was so weird when learned that about that episode and Mad Max. After I saw Fury Road, I remember noticing the similar to Bad Bob. But I had not seen any of the other Mad Max movies so I had assumed that both the film and the episode were based on one of the earlier film that was mostly just one long car chase.

    • @BullSession
      @BullSession  6 років тому +2

      Fury Road having been the first in the Mad Max series I saw, I thought exactly the same thing the first time I watched it.

  • @KnightRaymund

    Love Reboot. Love Beast Wars (Beasties). Great video. I'm glad Reboot went in this direction. Season 1 is good but the bigger stories that followed we just so good. The first and last arcs of season 3 are just the best.

    Since you brought up Transformers, I would like to say that this show handled getting rid of its main hero way better than The Transformers movie did. Bob is not defeated thanks to the carelessness of a friend. He's defeated because Megabyte finally got the better of him. Even after Bob returns, Megabyte beating him has clearly shaken up his confidence.
    Also even though Bob returned, forget kids shows, you rarely even see shows aimed at adults that do something as risky as writing their hero out of the series for the better part of a following season.

    I subscribed to you after your season 1 retrospective, and I'm kinda disappointed that UA-cam waited until MAY 8 to bring this video to my attention on my home page.
    Great work. Beast Wars is one of my favorite shows ever as well. In your future videos, I hope you'll be able to touch upon their trials of animating both ReBoot and Beast Wars at the same time, and how the varying budgets between Beast Wars and its other programs at the time meant that certain shows could have special touches, like shadows for the characters, where Beast Wars generally didn't.
    I remember when Beast Machines was announced, they made a big deal about the graphical upgrades, and how shadows would be used in that show.

      Unfortunately, UA-cam's algorithm tends to prioritize smaller channels like mine very low down on recomended pages, even for those who are subscribers. If you'd like to be notified of future releases like my upcoming Beast Wars Season 1 video (which should be out this Thursday or Friday), you can hit the notification bell and select "all uploads", though I do upload other content inbetween these retrospectives as well so if you think notifications for all that stuff might annoy you, you may just want to check back every now and then. So far I've been able to stick to a once every 2 weeks or so schedule for these longer videos.
      I haven't heard much about the inter-series budgeting beyond what you've just told me -- The Beast Wars Season 1 video is too far along at this point, but I'd definitely be interested in reading up more on that for a future video. Beast Machines may be a good time to talk about that, or maybe Beast Wars Seasons 2 or 3.

    Oh man, I remember Beast Wars! I had a VHS tape of that show that came with an action figure I got for Christmas. The tape had season 2 episodes in it, and I was always annoyed because it only had part 1 of the Fuzors arc and NOT PART 2. I eventually watched part 2 on TV, but I was always annoyed that the tape never included the second part of it.

      Yeah, that was annoying. I remember some tapes would even have episodes from unrelated shows. For example, I had a tape containing 90s Spider-Man episodes, but for some reason they also threw in episodes at the end of the tape from the crappy first season of Iron Man. It's like eating a big juicy burger, only to finish off with a pile of bland old broccoli.
