Carmen Sandiego Reboot... The rant...

I really want to hear Samuel L. Jackson ask about the whereabouts of Carmen Sandiego.
You know Carmen Sandiego? The series of games, gameshow and animated series that taught children abiut history and geography while attempting to catch the master thief clad in red. Netflix made a reboot.
I was obviously afraid of it yes, mostly  because of Noelle Stevenson's cultural appropriation of She-Ra.
So far I'm 3 and 1/2 episodes in and I'm liking what I'm seeing. I'm not much of a fan of the art style to be honest and it's some of the changes they made to the universe bother me little. Mainly the whole "heroic Carmen" thing.

But the experience so far has been pretty great I mean it has a educational segments it has some cool action and most importantly it respects the property, it respects the previous versions. Something that Noelle Stevenson's Cultural appropriation of She-Ra should have learned from. They even have a scene where they have the new Carmen with the previous Carmen stuck in an elevator as the theme of Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego? plays. The dialogue between Rita Moreno and Gina Rodriguez was a spiritual passing of the torch; not to mention that the new Carmen steals a red coat and hat from the character Cookie Booker who was voiced by the previous Carmen's VA (Rita Moreno)

Some people are knocking the educational section which is basically an info dump, which pretty much has been done exactly the same way in all the TV incarnations of Carmen Sandiego. Could it be done better? Sure but the problem is, it would stop being something Carmen Sandiego-like.

The best part of this reboot is: I have no idea who's the showrunner. They are not forcing a Carmen/Ivy romance to appease Tumblr. They are NOT interested in the spotlight, instead they are letting the show speak for itself...

The show is obviously made for younger children, but the amount of passion and love in the project, us one of the best bones thrown at us...
