    Favorite of all time. Exosquad. Mech armor, space warfare, synthetic humans, space pirates, insurgency, spies, politics, slavery and freedom from it, reproductive rights, clones and resurrection- yes this was all in a kid’s cartoon and it was awesome. That was two seasons. Sadly they canceled it before season 3 where they were hinting at ALIENS.

    Anyone else remember “The Pirates of Dark Water”?

    I think someone else mentioned it already, but Swat Kats was also great

    One of the first (to young me) serial cartoons that had an ongoing plot week to week.

      Finally, a current discussion about Reboot to bring this up in.

      Okay, so Matrix from the later seasons was absolutely just a parody of Cable from X-Men, right? With the gun, and the sleeveless armor, and the gold eye?

        Yeah, it’s been a while so I looked up the character’s arc and it does seem that he is inspired from Cable and/or Solid Snake (who actually debuted in Metal Gear in 1987).

    Tabaluga. It never really caught on outside of Germany but I definitely remember watching a decent cartoon series of it in the late 90’s.

    I used to love the Gummi Bears when I was a kid, but every time I’ve mentioned the show, no one sees to know what I’m talking about. 🤷‍♂️

    Edit:

    This one too. It was kinda like a mix of G.I. Joe & Transformers.

      A just saw a YouTube video about this, David the gnome, and the wuzzles. The absolute raw voice talent they had on those shows is something we will likely be privy to again.

      When we first saw Mask someone thought T-bob’s name was Cheeseball, so forever would it be amongst us kids.

      That Gummy bears theme song was like crack. I tried rewatching it now, and it doesn’t have thst same magic anymore. Around that time Voltron was on and Go Bots was around too.

      My dad actually liked that show more than we did I think. When Rugrats had Stu Pickles obsessed with the Dummy Bears cartoon it reminded me of my dad. My dad wasn’t that crazy about it but that bit of characterization made the show more endearing to me.
