My Reboot review
Intro: This cartoon should have quit while it was ahead.
Reboot: This series is centered on a guardian name Bob from the
supercomputer he is sent to mainframe to protect it from viruses. On top of
that, he has to get inside games and beat them if he doesn’t it will destroy a
section of the city. This is one of those shows that sound simple but it’s not, in season
two it starts telling an ongoing story.
What I like about this series is that it gives us an idea of what it’s like inside of a computer, that’s impressive considering computers are not that advance in the ’90s. This show also made jokes and references to what’s popular during this time period and hardware for computers. I appreciate that this show shies away from its goofy nature and become more serious with every season (kind of.) because it helps this series reach its potential. There are also twists and turns that took me by surprise, plus world-building. For this being the first CGI show it looks good at the time now it doesn’t age well.
I don't have much to say about Bob he's basically the town hero of Mainframe.
Dot Matrix is the smart one of the group thanks to her father, we learn that her father was a scientist. That trait helps Bob defend mainframe from the viruses, plus she's a workaholic. What bugs me about her is she starts developing feelings for Bob but she doesn't tell him. I find it funny that the smartest character in this show can't express how she feels.
Enzo Matrix is Dot's little brother and he's a typical boy as far as he loves to play games, goofs around and looks up to Bob. Despite that he does want to help Bob fight the viruses but can't due to his age, however, he does help him win some of the games. I like what the creators have done with him in season three, but I can't get into details without spoiling it.
Mike the TV is annoying, part of the reason why is because he loves to say the price tag of 99.
Mouse is a wild card in this series. She's a hacker with a Southern accent. She also has history with Bob, her hacking ability are useful to both parties.
Phong is the mayor of mainframe and he's also a mentor to the main characters. However, he doesn't give them advice for free he will give you advice if you beat him in pong, I am not kidding about that. It's a good thing he doesn't do that if someone wants advice on a life-or-death situation.
Megabyte (the main villain.) is a power hunger and egotistical virus. However, he carries himself like he's a mobster. He's also dangerous with his claws super strength and being able to jump high. I can't get into what bugs me about him without going onto spoiler territory.
Hexadecimal (another baddie.) is dangerous due to how powerful she is and she's unstable. Despite her and Bob being adversaries they have a good rapport and I'm surprised with what the creators have done with her in season 4.
Hack and Slash are comic reliefs who work for Megabyte.
The problem I have with this series is I wish it ended in season 3 because I didn't like how this series ended. To be fair season 4 tried to answer some of the unanswered questions. Bob and Enzo are at odds with each other over how to deal with the viruses but that went nowhere. Overall, this was one of the best cartoons in the 90s, if you love cartoons then I would recommend this.
