This was pre mocap, so everything was keyframed by hand and interpolated using software. Source: used to be a 3DSv3/ Lightwave enthusiast back in the day. Maya was out of reach for me. Kids don't know how good they have it these days.

Dang I just rewatched a fan made version not too long ago!

I remember being so hyped that they were making a new reboot series, then we got whatever the fuck that crap is that they called reboot.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I didn't know they rebooted Reboot.

It was some awful weird show where live action teens go into the mainframe and become these robot guys. Nothing to do with the original show except one episode where they had Bob. But everyone hated it

TIL that there were a bunch of weird censoring decisions made about the original Reboot: https://youtu.be/IULUImZfK-A

I would very much like to know why "hockey" was verboten. The video proposed one reason, but I'm not sure I'm convinced.

Oh yeah, most modern reboots are a drop in quality. Doesn't mean I won't seize the opportunity to make a pun!

Also, speaking of apparent drops in quality ... Scott Adams turned out to be pretty offensive, but I still appreciate your username.

Watched this the other day. Convinced me to give the whole series a try.

"Hey Al, they're remastering our series." "WHAT?"

These folks are doing fantastic work. If you're a Canuck, find the Reboot Rewind folks on your social media of choice, they're going around doing screenings of their doc (and some of the D1 footage I think) in Canadian cities.

The Web invaded Mainframe
Sprite and virus battled side by side,
Attempting to reclaim the city
from the rift which opened wide.

But Megabyte betrayed Bob and
he threw him deep inside the pit.
The pit was closed and Bob was hosed
and all that he could say was "Nooo!"

 

Without Bob to protect us
we thought we would have no barrier,
From he who would infect us
except Enzo, which was scarier,
The city shivered terrified
from fear of the Infector's touch...

 

"I guess your fear was verified, I wasn't a protector much."

 

(I guess our fear was verified, he wasn't a protector much)
(I guess our fear was verified, he wasn't a protector much)
(I guess our fear was verified, he wasn't a protector-ector much)

 

It wasn't Enzo's fault at first
he only was a little Sprite,
At best he was the worst but then
he slowly learned to do it right,

And just as he was getting skilled
a Game came down he couldn't win,
I thought for sure they'd both been killed,
first Bob then Enzo, not again!

 

(And just as he was getting skilled a Game came down he couldn't win)
(She thought for sure they'd both been killed, first Bob then Enzo, not again!)

 

I went from Game to Game
I aged, I grew and lost my innocence,
I soon became enraged by each
and ev'ry bad experience,

The Sprite you knew was gone
I had become a grim aggressor man,
I knew from that point on
that I was truly Bob's successor man.

 

(The Sprite we knew was gone, he had become a grim aggressor man)
(He knew from that point on that he was truly Bob's successor man)

 

I met up with the Webriders
and took the form of Interface,
I joined my gun with pirate swords
and sailed the seas of cyberspace,

And when at last the pair of us
were fin'lly reunited guys,
Our shouts of joy did blare because
we really were delighted guys.

 

We soon made tracks to Mainframe
so our friends could reunite with us,
We made it back and Megabyte
was waiting there to fight with us.

When Bob went face to face
to face to face with Hexadecimal...

 

...his chances for survival shrank from small to infin'tesimal.

 

(His chances for survival shrank from small to infin'tesimal)
(His chances for survival shrank from small to infin'tesimal)
(His chances for survival shrank from small to infin'tesi-esi-mal)

 

Bob helped to defragment my head
while Matrix fought with Megabyte,
I thought he'd wind up dead
but Matrix put up a terrific fight.

I'd dreamed of this each lonely night
of doing in that virus trash,
But just as I had won the fight
he engineered a system crash!

 

(You dreamed of this each lonely night of doing in that virus trash)
(But just as you had won the fight he engineered a system crash)

 

What Megabyte had hoped to do
was cause his death to crack us up,
I gambled on the User to ReBoot
and thereby back us up.

It worked! We all were born anew
and rid of things barbaric,
And now we're back together,
Ev'rything's alphanumeric!

 

(It worked, we all were born anew and rid of things barbaric)
(And now we're back together, ev'rything's alphanumeric)

 

And now we're back together,
EVERYTHING IS ALPHANUMERIC!!

Is this any good? No one knows for sure, but I intend to find out.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Only watched the first season, but it's very fun, very corny, and full of tech puns. I'd say it's aged decently well though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

It gets much better after season one. ABC turned on them, the treacherous dogs, and they switched to Cartoon Network, who were much more lenient in what they could get away with.

Dude this show is a classic. Stick with it, shit gets wild in season 3 if I recall.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I know, I saw every episode at least 10 times. I even had the official Reboot merch sweater back in the day. It was one of my favorite sweaters and I wore it till the print came off.

To this day whenever I talk to my brothers and we ask each other a question we don't know we'll say: "No one knows for sure, but I intend to find out. Reboot!"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm jealous that you get to experience this show for the first time. Season 3 is incredible.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I saw the show many times, it was a joke based on the intro.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I'm sorry this flew over so many heads here, it was well played.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

The live action sequel of ReBoot made for Netflix, ReBoot: The Guardian Code, is a wild one. Imagine Video Game High School crossed over with Power Rangers but is actually the plot of Tron.

Seriously, super cheesy. I’m embarrassed knowing it exist let alone having watched at least two episodes.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

I saw it more as a half-assed live-action Code Lyoko
