ReBoot Returns: Mainframe/Rainmaker are just pissing me off...
 

There bringing Reboot back.

There bringing it back after Tony Jay died, all of the writers and original animators were gradually fired, and their own company went into freefall without them, and there not going to resolve the cliffhanger of the final movie to "rebrand" the franchise with new movies

I didn't know there was enough demand for a ReBoot return for it to actually happen.

I know. Outside of a largely cult fanbase, the franchise did'nt initially make a dent. MF hit it big time financially with Beast Wars.

Reboot was repeated endlessly during the older days of Toonami, and then there was the TV Movies created from the high ratings those reruns provided it.

As much as it sucks that Tony Jaye can't reprise Megabyte, I wouldn't want the ReBoot franchise to end just because an actor died. That'd be like saying Avatar or Samurai Jack needs to end because Mako is dead.

That said, I'm more disappointed that they seem to be implying an actual continuity reboot (pardon the pun) rather than any closure on the cliffhanger the last TV movie left the franchise at.

As for a completely fresh creative team working on the series...that sucks, but I'd rather see what they can do or at least get a look at their resumes, first.

Anyhow, a part of me is glad that ReBoot isn't dead...but a part of me is very worried that they're gonna screw it up, too.

Excellent, I loved this show back then.

They never even released dvd sets did they?

What are they basing like any numbers on? Internet chatter?

They released sets of season 3 and the TV movies, but they're looooong out of print.

But maybe if they bring it back, they won't be.

I did kinda like it when it first came on, but then again, i wasn't really a big fan of it.

I'm sure they can either find a replacement for Tony Jay. Or worst case scenario, they have a new villain.

I loved ReBoot though I never really expected it to be brought back in any form other then reruns. I would love to see it come back but... yeah I'm on the list of people worried they'll screw it up completely. >_<

I agree, very worried it'll be screwed up and utter crap. It's too bad because ReBoot was my favorite show. I was so upset when they cancelled it and left us hanging!!

I'm glad it's supposed to make a return, but concerned about it being screwed up.:ohwell:

What!? I had no idea this show even had a fan base. I used to watch it ocasionally but I thought it was dumb. Ha, shows how much I know

Anyway cool news about the upcoming triology

Well, I for one always liked Reboot. And I wanna see where it heads...If for nothing else than to get the reprint dvds when they come out (you know they'll come back, just like tmnt movies and dvd sets)

Man, I used to love this how!!! I didnt think it would ever come back.

yeah totally

I have to say, a part of me is really looking forward to this.
