I saw the Pilot movie ("The Beginning") from my friend who had taped it. WHOA! I was transported instantly back to my childhood. Watching the new series, I don't feel 19 anymore... I feel like I'm 5 years old again, sitting in front of the TV with my electronic/Light-Up He-Man sword and chanting "By The Power Of Greyskull..." all over again. It's a trip.
The new series is strikingly true to the original series, save for some minor differences (Trapjaw and Man-At-Arm's Robotic limbs, Tri-Klops' doomseeker, and Teela actually being involved for once beyond being a background character!). The storyline, so far has stayed true to its roots, whilst trying to establish itself as something different at the same time. It's a true work of beauty.
And with all the different age groups (The old-and-want-to-relive-childhood group [18-25], the I-remember-having-to-buy-my-kids-that-crap group [35-50], and the new I-watch-Dragonball-Z-and-like-this-show-too group [below 18]) watching this show, Cartoon Network's sure to have a ratings bonanza, with this and the new Transformers series in the timeslot immediately after this.
THANK YOU CARTOON NETWORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
