Aw what? That's kind of lame.

I gotta be honest, I prefer the over the top "I put my face on the moon just because I loving could" super villain Carmen San Diego who does whatever she wants instead of this Robin Hood nonsense.

Hey, telling the British Museum that this week you're taking the Benin Bronzes after you got the Elgin Marbles last week is pretty super-villainous.

I think it's one of those things that originally was so dumb, so tone deaf, that people will forever mock it.

2. Feature people being called "gumshoe"

In the old series Carmen wasn't a hero. She was someone who stole things for the challenge of it.

No, I remember in the animated series that featured those two teen gumshoes she was an ex gumshoe. She actually assisted the gumshoes occasionally.

IIRC she's generally the kind of villain who tends to avoid actually hurting people and treats it all as a big game, hence the whole edutainment setup. Most of her henchpeople are more brutish, but apparently she hires people like that on purpose out of pity.

Would be down for a series that's basically an origin story for the physics-defying thief.

She did help them a few times, usually when another baddie was causing trouble like in that 3-parter, but that doesn't mean she's a hero. She stole anything that got her interest. Basically it's all a game to her.

I didn't mean she was a hero. But they went into her back story in that series. She was an ex gumshoe who turned to thievery. I looked it up and in "Where on Earth Is Carmen Sandiego?" she was an ex agent of ACME who left and created VILE. It's the only place that wad canon,but this new series could be a prequel to that.

I kinda assumed since she seems to be a lot younger than she's usually portrayed as. Her coat's a bit too big.

I'm hoping for something like Lupin the Third, without the lechery. Lupin's not really a bad guy, he's just on the wrong side of Zenigata. Carmen could slot into this kind of gentlewoman thief role very easily.

See I had the "Problem" of not knowing of the game-show well into the internet age so I'd always get confused when Carmen Sandiego was mentioned and instead of getting The awesome cartoon's opening I'd get the gameshow's theme and be left awfully confused.

Netflix is calling the back half of s2 "season 2 part 2" on some parts of the site, and "season 3" on others.

I was convinced it had been cancelled and was just crapping out its episodes Sunday afternoons so they wouldn't lose the IP.
