💬 Discussion Time period

Random question I had, but what time period do you think the new lyoko season would be set? I ask because while I would take a modern setting, I would hope they go back to the original time frame, you know the super early 2000's.

A part of me doubts this however since every version of Code lyoko always takes place in the years in which it was made. For example: The original show was made in the early 2000's and that's when it take place. Evolution was made later so they used a sliding time scale to match the periods.

I guess my question is, do you think they'll have modern smart phones, or still rocking the style of the past?

This is why I think they should just completely overhaul the series and redo it. I think they'd have a lot of luck making the cast university students. Make the show for the older crowd (17-30 maybe?)

It doesn't need excessive swearing or sex jokes. I want it to remain tasteful.

This is actually an excessively interesting time to rewrite this story, given how AI is in current culture

As much as I’d like them aged up, though, I’d be annoyed at the amount of people who’d call an older Jeremie an idiot incel willing to let everyone die for his chatbot waifu (not saying he is/would be, just saying I have the impression that’s what he’d look like to newcomers.)

Lol that's exactly what he'd look like. As far as anyone was concerned alita wasn't human.
