Oh poo poo, and Adult Swim too. I wonder if they'll be looser with the graphic violence. On a related note, here's some more examples of what a quality show this was. ...and many more, but I've poo poo up the thread enough already.

It's a shame Samurai Jack just got taken off Netflix (because Cartoon Network is really weird about their old shows), because otherwise I would tell everyone to WATCH IT. I agree that the average quality of cartoons has gone up dramatically these past few years, but despite that Samurai Jack is still GOAT.

I wouldn't go that far, on rewatch it seems like for every two rad action episode of SJ there was one lame "comedy" episode that was a waste of 20 minutes.

The comedy episodes are great though. Aku's Fairy Tales is the funniest 20 minutes ever. The only, only episode of Samurai Jack I won't argue for is the very early one about the elephant people. Is that the actual pilot of the show? It's so awkward in comparison to everything else.

kefkafloyd posted:If they do what Avatar did, they'll cast Greg Baldwin, who was Mako's Broadway understudy. I hope they don't, as I never really cared for him as Iroh. Unless (and even if) it's supposed to be a direct continuation and not a remake or something, I'd rather they just got someone else entirely. That guy sucked as Iroh.

That episode explained why Jack has an infinite supply of identical straw hats, making it a vital part of the lore. raditts posted:Unless (and even if) it's supposed to be a direct continuation and not a remake or something, I'd rather they just got someone else entirely.

More seriously, even if some episodes were better than others I liked how Samurai Jack felt like the show that could do anything. Wild West Standoffs? Generic Medieval Village Quest? Anything. If I had to summarize in one word what made the show something special, it would be scale, from the huge army battles to how Jack's quest was implied to take place over decades.

I passed on jack when it first aired but I started watching it on hulu resently and it's a complete shock it's coming back. My favorite episode is the one where he fights himself.

ReBoot's reboot ReBoot: Guardians sounds terrible so I'm going to guess that that gets rebooted too. So it'll be ReBoot's reboot of ReBoot's reboot.
