Not going to do a "was it good" thread, because it was.But how long did it STAY good? What was the point where it overstayed its welcome?
When the oni masks were introduced. So season 3 I think is where things started going downhill.
Tohru turning good wasn't a jumping-the-shark moment, but it boded ill. There just wasn't a whole lot for him to DO, but they kept him around even after shuffling to new villains.
>>152056093For me it never did overstay its welcome. But it did get repetitive really quick after S1 talisman being recycled with magic doors. Masks. Animals. Demon artifacts etc. The main cast is just too likable for me and that made me overlook all the and any faults of the show.
>>152056093it was gradual, and the worse it got, the shorter the seasons got, so it really never dragged. but at the same time, I don't feel like rewatching it the way I do, say, Mighty Max or the 90s Marvel animated shows.
>>152056093When this fucking guy was introduced.
>>152056328Oyyyyyyyyyyyyy, that fuggin guy...
>>152056093You cum for Jade Chan
>>152056272More or less my opinions. It never got old for me as a show as much as the pattern it was going for got old. Animals make sense, put their energies back into stones. The doors as a concept for me personally was cool enough to hold it own. The masks and artifacts is where I kinda got bored of them collecting things just for the sake of collecting things. I think talismans and the animal worked well because they use the powers from the last episodes to help them in the current one. Hell sometimes the villains "win" and get their own powers. I feel later on exclusively only the heroes won. Thinking on it I liked Xiaolin Showdown for the same reasons, past episodes mattered and the heroes did not always win. It wasn't a fight per episode (there generally is) but heroes/villains can be sneaky and get away more without causing direct conflict. I think Xiaolin did better than Jackie because it kept the characters to a min with sides that aren't directly good or evil. Hell at one point there was a villain who couldn't care less about the artifacts. With Jackie there was purely two sides, even side characters who in theory have their own goals can easily be lump to a side. Happy year of the horse by the way, my Chinese Zodiac. My only complaint about Jackie is the pig power was eye lasers which make little sense and felt too close to the dragon's power. I know it exist basically for a joke but personally I would make it so pig gave heighten senses. Hawk-like vision, pig-like smell, dog-like hearing, the works. It is the only real criticism I can give the show. Not a fan of the tiger's power but at least it made sense to me acting as the glue to keep the powers under control.
>>152056093I'd say it was good until they finish the demon arc at around episode 10 of season 2. Then there are a whole 20 episodes of FODDER that become unbearable quick until that season ends. Then season 3 tries to restart season 1. So season 1 is good, season 2 is good until it literally runs out of plot 1/3rd of the way, then it's unbearable. Then season 3 picks it back up, so if you don't mind a "we do the same thing again!" Then you could count season 3 as good. Otherwise the show stops being good 1/3rd of way into season 2. Which is a pity because there was so much they could have expanded on in season 2. Like the alternate reality episode where they gather a team to stop Shen Du, that's 2 episodes. Could've been 6 or more easily. There's also a time travel episode, and an episode when they revive one of the ancient heroes that imprisoned the demons. Could have instead make a whole season out of that, where they get stuck in the past and need to aid the original heroes in fulfilling their fates. Instead, nope, half an episode about that and the rest is FODDER.
>>152056168The Masks were from Season Four; Season 3 was Daolon Wong and the animals so it was basically Jackie vs. David Lo Pan. Though, yeah, the Masks was where the show dropped off for me as well.
I don't know.
>>152056328He simply couldn't measure up.
>>152056093
>>152056328Yeah, this guy was a let down. Around the same time Xiaolin Showdown introduced Chase Young who had the same shtick but better so it only made Drago look even worse.
>>152056093As much as I like Jade, for me I love Xu Lin a lot more and I wish she was appeared in more episodes and even helping Jade and the crew.
What's the best way to watch it? It doesn't seem to have had a HD release.
>>152057055busy night?
The problem is that it focused on Jackie and not a real hero like El Toro Fuerte
>>152056328I had.. suppressed that memory..
>>152057157before >>152057055after
>>152057245Where's the Jade Chan art?>>152057059On the one hand, Chase Young > DragoOn the other hand, Jackie Chan Adventures > Xiaolin ShowdownIf only Chase had been in the other show...
>>152056328it was this. The oni mask arc was watchable, still, imo, but this is where it veered into feeling like fanfiction deviantart OC bullshit
>>152057251What a cool motherfucker
>>152057157what if they tickled her feet while she was all strapped down wouldn't that be awful haha
I hate how the streaming releases look like garbage due to the botched deinterlacing and the DVD releases so far have also been shit. Latest from Millcreek had the worst video quality thus far.
>>152056093Honestly once the magic level got to the point where Jackie's martial arts started feeling redundant. Yes he usually bought time and used his skills to implement the magical solution, but he started feeling like a supporting character in his own show in terms of usefullness.
>>152057507>I'm seeing double!>4 lolis!
>>152057597>those 3 boys have good taste
>>152057300Most everything about this guy is cool. Cool design, cool powers, cool voice.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAiWbtTwY24
>>152057597you're a big girl
>>152058390Tohru
>watch this show as a little kid>wanna fuck jade>watch this show as an adult>still wanna fuck jadeIt's cruel the way fictional characters work. IRL she would have aged alongside me.
>>152056093Season 5
>>152058775It's a shame zooms don't understand this concept
>>152058775
>>152058864I do.
>>152059512Good, now if only the rest did...
No Jade don't say-
>>152058775like gwen tennyson, there is an adult version
>>152059512but you are based, not so much the rest
>>152058775Meh. I still have fantasies of girls I knew way back in grade school. It's not a big deal. A lot of guys have those fantasies. However IRL I probably wouldn't want them. Many of them look unrecognizable now.
>>152057507Imagine the threesome
>>152057037"Hey kid, wanna /ll/?"
Look out!
>>152061766HUH!!?
>>152057283And this is how you do hot and cute.
>>152061766*drops onto your head*
>>152063118No, of course I didn't gain any fetishes from this episode. Why do you ask? That would be ridiculous and impossible.
JADE?
>>152057300I wished he was in season five instead of Drago.
>>152060646What did she say?
>>152058775Hot is hot
>>152063118
>>152061293All of my elementary school crushes have turned into roasties lol my 10 year high school reunion was very eye opening
>>152063133Anon did you gain a fetish from this episode?
>>152063285....maybe
HEY JACKIE
>>152056093S5
>>152063250If anything proves Jade didn't wear socks ...
>>152063037hmm
>>152063236FREE TIBET
>>152056093Season 1 was good but it got too formulaic after that when every season became the same exact magic macguffin collectathon as the first.
S3 > S4 > S2 main > S1 > S2 fillers > S5
>>152063274I don’t even think my class had a 10 year reunion
>>152063236DEATH TO AMERICA
>>152057597https://youtube.com/watch?v=9TKBrQ5DqKw
I liked the masks. That and the random 'monster of the week' episodes were the only episodes that had a new formula or added something interseting. I love the different ninja designs and powers.after it though, it was retread after retread.>talismans but animals>talismans but the Chinese zodiac demons.
>>152056093The second demon arc
>>152056728uooh Jade-chan
>>152063274I never even went to my high reunion. I hated public school. I was a social outcast amongst my peers. I was so happy when I graduated. But still have fantasies of the girls when they were younger. They were truly at their peak during those times.
>>152063118It would've been fun if Jade could've had at least a handful of Shadowkhan minions or something after this. Like just give her a few of them, give the good guys some mooks that the villains could smack around and show off again, like how Generator Rex had that organization.
>>152056328I liked season 4 the least but I thought it was neat they brought back a one-off villain to be a season villain
Damn I kinda want to watch this again now. Where is it streaming?
>>152068528tubi, apparently the quality isnt great though
>>152058884that makes anon's point though, you could easily swap their heads and it wouldn't make a difference. They have somehwat ageless faces.No excuse for the body tho, that's definitely p3do
>>152068574>Check it>Dat "quality"Well that sucks horsecocks.
>>152068528Most of the episodes are on Youtube for freeQuality isn't great either though
>>152056728you cum for chris chan
>Owned by SONY, the company whose relationship with animation is best summed up by looking at KPOP Demon Hunters, the smash-hit animated movie that SONY made and then disavowed so hard they gave it to NetflixWelp, that explains why you can't find decent quality versions of the eps.
>>152056093Cast the inevitable Netflix live action adaptation
>>152065089I didn't watch this show because it was kinda painful to have a crush on her and know it could never happen because she's a cartoon character.>>152065589kek
>>152069972
>>152056093i must confess for me this was the best celebrity cartoon ever made, but at same time the show started to lose the fun after season 2 because every season on the late show was the same thing:WE MUST FIND ALL RELICS BEFORE THE BAD GUYS''
>>152061293Uh, do you fantasize about any other adult women or only your memories of underage classmates?
>>152056093when xaolin showdown started getting really good I lost interest in jackie chan adventures
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6phLEEwAsIg
>>152070536XS was at it's best towards the beginning though. The monks got too overpowered, the Wu too specific and overpowered (remember the Golden Tiger Claws were originally so OP they had to be written out of the show for a while), and Jack became a joke other than the finale.
>>152072334>Jade if she Michelle Yeoh
>>152056328He was a total jobber. And those skate dudes were also boring.
>>152061293>had hard childhood crush on a girl through all my childhood and teenhood>literally almost 20 years later>cross a chubby old woman and feel like there's something odd about her>look behind discreetly ,can't get it why>walking a bit ahead, I cross an older guy and instantly recognize him>it's her dad>dots connects, I get a "no fucking way" in my mind>try again to look back>it's the same girl I had a mad crush for years>she looks like 15 years older than me while in fact she was younger than me>not sure if I feel shocked, happy about myself or miserable about the reality of this worldWhy is this world so grimdark? Bitch was a total cunt tho so I don't exactly feel pity.
>barely discussion about the show>just a single pedophile going rampant on his porn addiction Fuck this board. It's genuinely a good cartoon but can't be discussed because these degenerates
>>152073035Shut up, retard.
>>152073035There is plenty of talk "about the show". Seeing a couple of pictures of Jade doesn't need to drive you into insanity.
>>152073301>70% of the thread being just pedophilia >"a couple"Kys porn addict
>>152073424Alright, shut up retard.
>>152073035Mods won't do shit, sadly
>>152070135underrated
>>152073035Unfortunately that's what threads for this show have been for a while
>>152073435>MODS! THERE ARE SCREENSHOTS FROM JACKIE CHAN ADVENTURES IN THE JACKIE CHAN ADVENTURES THREAD! HEEEELP!
>>152073483>>152073435stop talking to yourself
>>152073431>massive idiot with a brain twisted by porn addiction calling others retards without any justification since only the bare truth was spoken Laughable.
>>152056093As long as you're fine with repetition it remains a fun show through S4.
>>152073010Karma at work.
