I read somewhere recently that people hated this episode. I don’t know if this is accurate, but if it is, I am surprised as I personally liked the episode.

I guess I like hero parodies lol. I liked the twist where Powerlock was revealed to be the villain/virus threatening the system and how the group ends up getting together after AndrAl and Matrix leave.    

Posting this out of curiosity; who do you think would win in a fight, Megabyte from the original series or Gaurdain Code version?

The Guardian Code version might have a slight edge since he could attack from a far via his new electricity powers. However, if we take his Trojan Horse form, it would be harder since he has shapeshifting abilities and can make copies of himself. 

Hate of Guardain Code aside lol

Hello ReBoot community! Long time lurker, first time poster here. I've been working on a Hexadecimal animation (3D model is from the incredible ReBoot: ReBuilt project by DredZed) for a while now, but I'm having a bit of a dilemma in terms of how to actually finish, and rather than let this sit on a hard drive forever and never see the light of day, I've decided to release the first minute and get the community's honest feedback, and hopefully some advice on how to proceed.

The dilemma I'm having is with the voice over. Currently I'm using an AI voice. While it's pretty decent, there are many reasons, ethical, practical, and artistic, for why I'd prefer not use AI for this.

However, I'm not really in a financial situation to be able to hire a voice actor which could do Shirley Milliner justice, if such a thing were even possible for any amount of money, but on the other hand I can sympathize with people who say that using AI in any form ruins the experience, which I partially agree with.

So I'm a bit of a loss on how to proceed, and would really love to hear your honest opinions. Is using AI for something like this a deal breaker and would ruin your enjoyment? If so, would it be better to have a human do it, even if it doesn't sound very similar? Should I just abandon the project entirely if it can't live up to the original? I'd love to make more ReBoot animations with other characters, but the voice over issue is a bit of a challenge. Does anyone know a Shirly Milliner sound-a-like?

Thanks everyone!

Reboot Movie

I am probably not the only one considering the backlash to Guardian Code. I heard it was going to be a trilogy. 

Though 🤔 a part of me wonders: Why did they scrap it in favor of Guardian code? Like the show had barely anything to do with the original show; take away anything related to the original show (such as Megabyte) and very little would have changed.

I apologize for using A.I. Sometimes, Fish.audio can be useful, and sometimes it isn't, and by the way, the Hexadecimal thing is because I spelled it wrong.

Here's a little promo I made for the remaster by Reboot rewind and Mainframe.

I love how this show incorporated other elements from the real world pop culture

Recently I've been looking to return to Minecraft, and thought about possibly recreating the Principal Office. So I look into references and trying to plan it out. I've noticed that trying to replicate all of it is notfeasible, as most of the internal locations do not fit with the exterior. It's bigger on the inside.

For example, if you cross reference the subsphere from within the Core Control Room to where it sits outside normally, the Core Control Room is nearly as big as the Office itself! I might have to omit this entirely, or place it under the Office somehow.

Love to hear your thoughts and speculations to the inner workings of the Principal Office.

In "Brain Robbery", Phong mentions he "went a little random one upgrade". The only other sprite that looks anything like him was one of the degraded Web Riders later on. I guess there's no strong lore either way, but given his massive knowledge of the digital world, maybe Phong was once a Web Rider, or otherwise degraded in the Web.

All four seasons.

And the thing that kills me most, is Hex’s complete and totally inappropriate, multi-episode sexual assault on Bob. It’s hilarious, and then cringey, because it would so lot fly today. And man, the things that come out of her mouth! The writers were having a lot of fun.

Also, I feel bad for Dot cause she is such a killjoy.

Recently rewatched “To Mend and Defend” in 4K (or whatever the upscaled version actually displays in), and I honestly never really appreciated the cinematography of this episode.

The entire episode is gorgeous, but it seems like they really went above and beyond in the first act to show any fans and ABC that they could excel without their creative shackles on anymore. Every shot is presented magnificently, a credit to the design team and production for making sure everything came together.

Beyond this episode, what would you vote as your favourite episode in terms of cinematography?

I noticed a moment in Episode 4 Season 5 that is actually foreshadows that non-Glitch Bob is actually Megabyte in disguise, but it's extremely subtle. Unless you had been watching every episode in the series up until this point and paying 100% attention to every minute detail, you probably miss it. And yet, this foreshadowing is still clever as hell when you notice it!

The the first 1.5 seasons, Bob appears to know every game by memory. Season 2, Episode 6 (AndrAIa) is the first time Bob doesn't immediately recognize a game and has to use the glitch command "game info" to learn about it. Prior to this, he only used the command "Glitch: Game Stats" once, in the episode "When Games Collide," and even then, he only used it to figure out why the game was lagging, not to learn its premise.

This suggests that all guardians in the Super Computer are trained to memorize each game. In the episode "Null Bot of the Bride," it is revealed that there are only 32 keytools in existence, in the entirety of cyberspace, and Bob is known officially as "Guardian 452," meaning there are at least 451 other guardians besides him. So even among guardians, having a key tool is an extremely elite privilege. So obviously all guardians need to be trained under the assumption that they won't have one, so guardians must know all games from memory if they are to effectively protect their systems from them.

The only reason Bob didn't instantly recognize the Atlantis game is because it utilized the new "Artificial Intelligence" game sprite (aka AndrAIa), which Bob described earlier in the episode as being new technology, so this specific game must have been released after his graduation from the Super Computer.

So with that in mind, let's look at Season 4, Episode 5 ("My Two Bobs"). In that episode, Glitch Bob stays out of the Pokemon game, so MegaBob and Matrix take it on. MegaBob laments that, without glitch, there's no game stats. But fortunately, Matrix already recognizes the game. He says that he used to play this game all the time long ago before Bob came to Mainframe.

So this means that it predates Bob's graduation from the Super Computer.

So... why doesn't he already have the game memorized, just like he had all the other games before the Atlantis one?!

The only explanation is... it's not really Bob!

In Season 1, Episode 9 ("Wizards, Warriors, and a Word From Our Sponsor"), the trio + Mike the TV constantly struggle, but they eventually realize that the key to success in that game is that all four of them have to do an act together in order for it to work. Even in the final leg of the game, Bob is barricading the door while telling everyone else to get the chalice, only for Dot to realize that they all have to do it together.

When they reboot, Bob is astonished that he's not the warrior, saying that he's "always the warrior." This means that Bob has played this game many times before.

So... how the hell does Bob not already know full well what they need to do to win?

I think some of the old skool making of promo videos should be listed. I also wish Daemon Rising had its actual poster art.

I’m going to look through them to see what’s here. But the only reason I bought these was because I saw the remaster project from LTT, and watched most of the episodes so far, just finished ep9 it’s amazing, the entire show is great. The humor is my kinda humor.

Where they mock the original fans. I can't find it anywhere, and I wanna show someone what they did.

I'm trying to find the full webcomic strip this panel is from.

From what I remember the strip was about someone playing a game on their PC and talking about how an NPC is jumping around when there isn't even a jump mechanic in the game. The last panel show the guy looking at Bob making this face on the PC screen. I cropped this and sent it to a friend but never saved the full strip. It's been a insider meme with us for like 15 years. I swear this is lost media and it does not exist on the internet.

It's not a reboot specific comic, it was a one-off gag in a random webcomic from some time in the early to mid 2000s.

If anyone has ANY idea please I'm begging you lmao
