Why oh why did they screw this up so badly. I can only hope they make a lot of changes like they did when they first introduced Reboot back in the 90's

You be the judge but this is going to ruin my childhood if they go with this design. I am all up for change but this is ridiculous.

This can be perfect as long as they do not try and pitch it at adults. :)

This is an OLD footage that was made years ago. More than 4 years infact! However, a press release did state that the franchise won't be what fans remember

http://www.rainmaker.com/?/site/news/83

The world of ReBoot will need an upgrade for a new generation — and yes, that includes the characters: Bob, Enzo, Dot, Phong, Hexadecimal, Megabyte and the whole gang are unlikely to be featured players any longer.

“I don’t think too many people would remember what a Dot Matrix is anymore,” said Hefferon.

That’s not to say your old favourites are gone forever. Hefferon says a mix of old and new is the most likely outcome.

“I think there’s always opportunities to bring characters back for fun cameo appearances,” he said.

“We’’re very big fans of the characters, the world, but now trying to say how do those characters and worlds fit today for a new generation of kids who don’t know anything about the previous ReBoot.”


Rainmaker and Mainframe are shooting for a “cross-family” approach, with gags and references that “will be a lot of fun for the existing ReBoot fans,” said Hefferon.

However, ReBoot will continue to be a kids’ show. And kids these days are more familiar with clouds, mobile technology and online gaming than with the single-player, human vs. computer-style games we saw in the original ReBoot. In 1994, families were just starting to have internet connections in their homes. Today, kids are practically born with an iPhone in hand.
With that in mind, the new show won’t just be a show. Hefferon said they’re planning a cross-platform experience that kids can engage with even when the show isn’t on. That means an app, interaction on social media with characters, earning points for participating online during broadcasts or viewers designing their own computerized characters.

“The ReBoot world has grown beyond a mainframe,” said Hefferon.

Though much will be new about ReBoot, the creators still want to harness the original show’s affinity for turning kids on to technology.

Though after reading this press release, I am not looking forward to it, but let's see. Here are their latest works

If they go too far afield from the original style it will be a failure. And honestly it's depressing to think that they might really mess up a show I liked a great deal. :(

Haha, one of the best things that made reboot so badass was the references to computing and even star trek and other shows and games.
4:10...Reference to ace ventura and star trek TNG! :D

Transcending age groups with appeal to kids, tweens and teens, ReBoot: the Guardian Code is an adventure-comedy series about four teens (Austin, Parker, Grey and Tamra) who discover that they’re next-gen Guardians with a mission to save the world, by defending it in cyberspace. The Internet revolutionized the world, but it also left it vulnerable to attack. With the help of VERA, the last surviving cyberbeing from the original Guardian Program, our heroes stream into cyberspace where they use their awesome code-based powers to battle viruses that have been unleashed by a ruthless hacker. Known only as the Sourcerer, he seeks to rule the world by controlling cyberspace. Original fans of the show will be happy to hear that Megabyte will be back and he’s getting a major upgrade. ReBoot will showcase leading edge technologies and bring coding into the mainstream for kids.

This sounds awful actually. It does not look like it's going to appeal to reboot fans.I think many fans wanted to see how Reboot would end.

This is such a badass cliffhanger.

Tony Jay passed away so it would be quite difficult for them to end that show. They ended that series through a comic I believe but I am not 100% certain on that. Also, they screwed up the faces if you look at their mouths they look a bit funny compared to the original season 1-3 and some of the voices sound funny too as well.

I knew it was going to be a bad one because most companies do a terrible job in rebooting (pardon the pun) everything

Just like STD these idiots are trying to bring in new fans who have no clue what the original series was about and what is more insulting is that the original writers and producers and voice actors are not being asked to put in their effort into this.

I died inside by seeing some of the photos here looks EXTREMELY Cringeworthy ! and not in a good way either. Why do these idiots bring in people who have no clue what the series is about? Honestly, what were they smoking??

OMG, what the hell is going on here? This isn't Reboot. I'm not recognizing any of this nonsense. :facepalm:
The original writers want to revive the old series but mainframe aka rainmaker management has other plans and think that this formula is relevant to today's crowd and will bring them money. :lol:

No, just no. This type of thinking never works. :facepalm:
Well, this is what was said and I am not joking. This is what the stupid ass executive producer said named Michael Hefferon

“For the year before I came up with what the new concept, I talked with people. I talked with broadcasters around the world. The one [resounding] thing — and I hate to break it to the fans — was nobody wanted the reboot of what [the show originally] was. Nobody was willing to buy it.”

I’ve always questioned that claim, but the obvious answer to keeping the show as it was (beyond bringing the original co-creators on board), was to go straight to Netflix if no traditional networks wanted it.
I can't believe netflix paid for this piece of garbage? But hey, rainmaker is laughing their ass off. Their ratchet and clank movie was superb though. Sadly that didn't do too well in the box office.

Those networks execs are idiots.

To whom it may concern,


Please forward this onto Michael Hefferon and the The Guardian code team.

I have grave concerns about the content of the Guardian's code as it looks and feels nothing like the original Reboot series, judging from the photos on facebook and twitter. I find it even more disappointing and insulting (from my point of view) that the original fanbase are being alienated and isolated by not allowing input from the original writers and voice actors, soundtrack composers.

I am unaware if Mr Hefferon and his team are unaware about the negative feedback that the guardian code is receiving among a number of fans but the feedback of the show is more negative rather than positive.

I dont think Mr Hefferon and his team did their research otherwise it will suffer the same fate as Star Trek Discovery as CBS has alienated a lot of its original fanbase. I am all open for new ideas but not by completely alienated the fans


Thanks

This is just treating their audience as if they watch MTV/TLC. What the fuck did they do to this show?
