So we have a sneeker peeker at the next season of Xiaolin Showdown! Or, they're calling it Xiaolin Chronicles I guess. Whatever, let's do a mini-review here. And I am really just too giddy to let myself get upset at anything, but no restrictions on you all. So, first thing's first, the art style is a little bit different than the old show. Omi's design CAN'T really change, seeing as he's a circle for a head with a few dots for eyes and then a body underneath it. Jack Spicer's got a new look. He's a lot more angular (particularly his chin. No more baby-face), his goggles are smaller, the hair is a little more suave, and they got rid of his red eyes. New outfit, too, though I'm going to give it the benefit of the doubt and think that perhaps it was for the desert climate there (they've given him different outfits sometimes in the past, so it's possible). There's a lot more dark green (his vest, his not-fingerless gloves, and his jacket's gray now instead of black). But if not, I will be a little disappointed, since I loved the old black jacket and the new eyes are going to take some serious getting used to, but I think I can manage. ...He doesn't have his helicopter backpack there, either... It's probably something that's explained in the episode, sure. Yeah. Let's move on before I get rustled. **And before anyone says anything, that's not going to be Jack's voice. They got Danny Cooksey back. Tara Strong was just covering for him as a placeholder so they could get the preview out. I mean, that is LITERALLY Timmy Turner's voice. Chase Young is... pretty. Like, prettier now.He doesn't have his green-tinted hair, pointed ears, or serpent eyes. And he's using more eyeliner looks like. Or something, the one that goes over your eye, I don't know make-up. The colors on his armor are duller, and they made his arms thicker. **I don't know what's going on with Chase's VA. So feel free to rage about that. So that stuff's out of the way. So, the Shen Gong Wu. I don't know what's going on with that. The Monkey Staff's shooting ghosts and the Orb of Tornami's a torpedo or something, I don't know. They had that gimmick before when they had the characters call out their elements after the name, so it's not like that's betraying the old show. Alright, let's go Xiaolin Showdo- ...CGI. It's... not the best I've seen. By far. The faces look like they were taken from Code Lyoko. Not something bad necessarily, but it still looks outdated by 9 years. I don't really think the inclusion of the CGI showdown bits were necessary. And I do miss the seizure-flashing of frames from the episode spliced together with the new settings that introduced a showdown with the Chinese flute playing. Final thoughts: No one's ever happy when things get changed about a show. Buuut... it could be worse... I'm hoping to see more clips before next year. Maybe see some scenery that isn't a desert. The thing to focus on is that one of my favorite shows is coming back. As long as it still recaptures the same spirit and sense of adventure that made the old show so great, I'll be happy. |

>CGI showdowns Why. Why. This is my only real complaint, and even then its more because I enjoyed the regular animation ones. Of course, I can see why they would change them a bit, given the threat of epilepsy that the original intros to Xiaolin showdowns created, but even then they could have just edited the intros to them. |

I was looking this up and found this. - Due to the series' production being managed in Canada, it is law that any voice actor working for a television show must be a citizen of Canada in order to work. Since Tara Strong, the voice of Omi and Jennifer Hale, the voice of Katnappe are the only Canadians, every other character will receive new voice actors. Jennifer Hale will take over as the new voice for Kimiko Tohomiko, however. - As the original Xiaolin Showdown was created by Warner Bros., they hold the rights to all Shen Gong Wu names. With this, every Shen Gong Wu will receive slightly modified names. i.e. Orb of Tornami will be renamed Orb of Torpedo |

Yeah, I remember reading about that a while ago. Shame. I seriously hope they get a great actor to do Jack Spicer justice. |
