I tried to do that too but it was so strange. For a cartoon that was pretty much on the cutting edge for it's time it really didn't age all that well. I was pretty young back then so my memory might be inflated. But I just remember it looking much better. Hopefully the new one will retain the feel of the original but with modern day techniques. All we've really seen so far is a bunch of stills so we won't know till we see it in action.

The big kid in me still loves it, especially that first season! I think I have only seen the entire series once though. When it originally aired my dad got stationed in Japan (I'm a military brat) so I only got to see the first season before we left in '93. I think I might have rented the discs from Netflix to finally watch it all, but that was almost twenty years ago! Yeesh I'm getting old!

Yup, the show was supposed to air around the same time wave 1 came out. The only good thing about it being pushed back is that it has given me more time to finish rewatching the original series.

mostly because it was held back because of A. the pandemic and b. the writer/actors strike. it was originally supposed to be during the summer.

I was thinking the same thing. We're on wave 2 two of ML and it even has a couple of spoilers and we haven't seen anything like a trailer or another teaser. Zero promotion from this thing that was supposed to get back the old fandom and mesmerize the new fandom. Where's the hype?

In the end Disney will do its frustrating Disney thing and it's just going to be another product that was supposed to be much better. I don't expect it to completely bomb but I'm guessing it'll be quite a bit less than we as fans expect.

Yeah, we haven't even gotten a trailer yet

It's kind of funny how there's been all this promotion and the toys have been in my local Target since at least Fall, but there still has been zero publicly revealed footage or even a confirmed release date as far as I know. Looking forward to the show, but it feels like forever since there's been actual news.

Always iffy about Comic tie-ins as there canon can be dubious
