there were barely any geographic facts.

Carmen's voice is pure sex

What went wrong is the low amount of rule 34. That's a fucking travesty and I'm honestly dissapointed in everyone for not making more. What the fuck is wrong with you all

10 seconds of geographic facts is better than none at all

Being not good at drawing.

What a stupid question.

we aren't shilling this show enough

This. I would love to pay someone to commission some art but I'm poor as fuck

I'm gonna look into commissioning some porn when I get some money in, not sure who

I did my best with my retarded edits. Sadly I can't draw.

I can draw somewhat, I'm just not good with dynamic poses

There's a new Carmen show? Anyway, from my vague memories as a kid playing the game, Carmen is supposed to be this globe-trotting femme fatale master thief, correct me if I'm wrong. How's/what's her character like in the new show?

EVERY. TIME.

getting real tired of people asking how the show is

just watch it and decide for yourself moron

all the people who watched all 9 episodes liked it

>what went wrong: only 9 episodes
S2 was already confirmed.

Nice reading comprehension brainlet. I asked about her character, not the show. I'll still watch it.

Character is changed to be more of a Robin Hood style spy character, the show is good though, but you should probably watch it as it's own thing rather than in connection to the old lore.
There is a fun Easter egg to the 90s cartoon though.

Just watch the first episode and you will have your answer, it's not that difficult
Actually replying to your question would be spoiler

Be the porn you want to see in the world.

I don't want it confirmed I want it NOW

Not enough episodes

It discarded the very thing that Carmen Sandiego always grounded itself upon in exchange for serialized drama.
Educational factoids
It's like if Mia: Just in Time were to be stretched out without much of the mathematics but focuses more on the gems and time travel.

Attached: MiaJustinTime.jpg (800x500, 126K)

Yeah, but season 2 is just the episodes they already had done but didn't want to release to artificially inflate the number of seasons they have.

People are really liking it though, I can see it getting a third season.

That's how Netflix rolls. I don't know, they did the same thing with Voltron and it ended up having a pretty decent episode count.

I guess they could do a better job of couching the story itself in geography facts and stuff. I mean Do a bit of a DaVinci Code thing and add some flavor to the things that are stolen and how Carmen gets to them.

Something like this. Apparently, they won't even allow seasons longer than 13-ish episodes.

Disconcerting.

All in all I'm very pleased with the show. I was hoping she'd be more grey and not with the good or bad guys but she's really just a rogue good gal.

There was no cheeky Where's Wally? Reference.

Plus it's a show with a lot of dangerous, criminal ladies. Of course part of the appeal here is to fantasize about them bullying one's dick.

You think VILE will ever target Player? Anyway, what was Player doing being in contact with Cookie?

I'm surprised they didn't try in the first place after taking her phone, though I doubt they could properly track him

Hopefully, seems like a good way to raise the stakes.

He did age.

"But user, can't you see? She's the bitch. And no one likes her!"

I honestly would appreciate more non-VILE villains. Maybe some sort of scavengers looking for treasure that VILE is also looking for and ends up in a wary alliance with Carmen against them but are also willing to betray her when their needs fit it.

That it's clearly going into 'Villains only' territory for her targets. Why can't we get an innocent kid Carmen that gradually turns into the world's greatest thief that gives zero shits about who she's stealing from and more about how important/insane the theft is.

The problem is that they kinda set her up to be Carmen's Malfoy. But that only works when she has the upper hand in most situations she shows up in to make it more satisfying when she does eventually get beat.

If she's a constant loser, it just doesn't work. I feel like VILE has to win sometimes. The only halfway decent operatives seem to be Paper Star and fucking Mime Bomb, who did fulfill his part of the mission.

Attached: 1450008445996.jpg (490x852, 162K)

Damn, so they did give her that latin ass, you just have to find it.

Like, she tries to do it the "right way", Robin Hood style, but shes really driven by a desire and thrill in stealing.

Having her wrestle with the fact her motives are not as wholesome as she tells herself is actually a pretty deep and interesting arc as it enables the writers to explore her moral ambiguity yet still have her be a good person.
Devereaux calling her out on her noble Robin Hood act being a conceit for her doing what she does for gratification.

Explore her as a complex not entirely heroic hero, which is a whole lot more interesting than her being a straight villain or hero.

>Carmen, Brazil is the posterior capitol of the world. So you should fit right in!
>What's that supposed to mean, Player?

Trying to twist her into a teenage superhero killed the premise

What are you talking about? Mimes are fucking OP.

A good mime can create any weapon they want instantly, except its invisible. You try dodging a shot from an invisible rocket launcher, you won't know whats happening until you've already been blown up.

And that's not even getting into the strategic usage of invisible walls to block off attacks or prevent people chasing you from being able to catch you.

Mimes are fucking DANGEROUS.

You fucking know Carmen would easily turn the table on Player there. She'd find a way to turn him into a stuttering mess

How stupid can one be? Carmen Sandiego started as a video game series, which got picked up by PBS to be a game show, the show was legitimate and made intentionally ridiculously hard because they did not want to pay out prizes and so kids were forced to identify states/countries/provinces on an upside down map.

The size of her hips seems to vary a lot between scenes.

The premise is allowed to change, it's been 34 years. And her being the protagonist (which allows the viewers a better look into her internal thoughts and feelings) fits just fine with the conceit of this show, which is "Who is Carmen Sandiego?"

The incredibly long flashback sequence that more or less starts off the show is boring as shit, I couldn't get through it.

Just skip to episode 3

We call it a pleb filter, honey.

Honestly, I'd love to see the face on the bottom cropped to just itself and with the text removed. Because minus context, it looks like something else.

Thick Carmen is Best Carmen.

If you want porn of something draw it yourself or pay an artist to draw it for you. Wishing for it does nothing.

The show just started. It takes time. "Miraculous Ladybug" is three seasons in and we're still lacking Rule34 of a lot of the characters.

This artist loves those colors and giving the characters he draws mindbroken looking eyes.
Kinda hot sometimes, like those LWA lewds he did

Or just the [bones crunching], [groans, gasps] is just fine.

Really? I'm kinda surprised

Why would someone be stupid enough to watch a show for a porn? It's one thing to just look up the porn, but why would you sit through a show solely because it is tangentially related to something you fapped to?

Well, it's made by an artist working on the show who got permission to post his/her stuff.

I was thinking about that but honestly wasn't sure if they would actually notice/care. I really wanna draw Carmen/the other ladies (without having to sieve through fancaps.net/tv/index.php?1695

It isn't. These artists make a point to mention their own personal drawings do not reflect on the shows they work on.

Why isn’t she buxom like in my memories of the game that I played 18 years ago.

Well I feel like I'd be asking for a lot. Decent refs of all of Carmen outfits and any of the other female characters (especially the ones >106054128 linked)

Duh. They want to keep their jobs. It does however show that they are aware or even quietly endorsing certain views held in the fandom.
When guy draws Carmen in a racier swimsuit than seen within the show he's probably speaking to an older demographic.

Very much this

Yup. Nathalie, Nadja, Caline, Audrey, Rose, Juleka, Sabine, Gina, that stormy weather chick......all seriously lack Rule34.

Not really into bones breaking, lol.

No, but she was drawn well and knew how to rock the jacket and hat.

There isn't even a wikia page for this show, hard looking up the characters

Still has buxom in the reboot

You're not wrong, it's time consuming

Thanks user.

Of all people, I'm really struck by Cookie and Countess

The 'Australian' accents were far worse.

Oh no, she's fucking gorgeous

Pros:
Excellent art direction and choreography that props up average animation. The new origin story and character drama are engaging. Side characters are well integrated into the plot, rather than being one-note jokes. There is a steady escalation of threats and believable stakes. Care was taken with the dialogue and maintaining mood, extracting the best from its voice cast.

Cons:
The animation is straightforward which, while competent, is the least interesting aspect of the visuals. The show becomes more episodic after Carmen leaves the island, to its detriment. The property's wanderlust means our time at each locale is short and shallow.

The biggest problem though is its unwillingness to divorce itself from its edutainment roots, which manifests as an awkward rattling off of factoids by Player in every episode post VILE island. It's redundant, it's useless, and it's not educational. No kid has ever learned how to be a rocket scientist by watching a cartoon character spout trivia, but they may get inspired by watching stuff like Star Trek.

>manifests as an awkward rattling off of factoids by Player in every episode

Yeah, I'm not fond of that either

The geography could add some improvement

Attached: Screenshot_26429.png (1920x1080, 1.26M)

It has a cookie cutter plot that will never evolve beyond Carmen being a full on heroine instead of becoming the charming and polite robber that steals for her own excitement no matter who gets involved. Flash animation has grown since the early 2000s but the movements are so stiff, absolutely everything lacks any real weight behind them. The good males are bumbling fools save for the cutesy Player while Chase in the past was a worthy opponent for Carmen. Sheena is clearly going to have 0 growth and while Carmen's potential in all lore is legendary to the point where you should give up going against her, Tigress will never be able to close that gap a tiny bit and will end up being a waste of a character, like she is now.

But, holy fuck, the visuals are amazing and the character design is top notch. Like we're talking the character design is elder god tier, easily the best designs in animated shows in the past decade and some of the best in entertainment. It's a shame all these vibrant designs is being wasted on a vanilla ass adaptation based on a universe that has so much more potential. Leaves me really disappointed at what could have been.

Attached: 13838382937.jpg (960x725, 98K)

The popular bitch archetype needs more love

>Chase in the past was a worthy opponent
Not at all. He was never close to Carmen's level, always getting tricked and being two steps behind. Though he does get a bit better as the show goes on. I hope they do some Yes Minister/Tom and Jerry thing where they let the perpetual loser have a few wins for the audience to cheer a bit (especially considering they are on the side of the law)

Chase has done more to to stop VILE than any other ACME agent. His dumb luck will save us.

It amazes how Chase survived the entire first two episodes

It's redundant, it's useless, and it's not educational.

No? Every child watching this will have learned/know something about the Magna Carta because the show's repetition and tying the factoids to the plot of the episode is memorable.

>plummets from a fucking building Dark Knight style and keeps on trucking

His fucking car gave up before his body

>all these reboot shows that are getting some grim setting or making them lore based
>Carmen's universe is packed with untapped potential, including herself
>make a kids show instead
Fucking Archie of all things got a darker and edgier show while Carmen Sandiego, a show that can actually benefit by being for an older audience, gets absolutely wasted. They are sitting on a lore goldmine.

Attached: 183836336273.png (720x1280, 295K)

There is very clearly an overarching narrative here, and building up of the lore by focusing on the secrets of Carmen's past as the central mystery. You act as though this is Dora the Explorer or something.

Also it's from Netflix yet doesn't have the sense to be bold. Which sucks because I like the artstyle and the characters

>tying the factoids to the plot of the episode is memorable

That's my point. If it's already tied into the plot, that makes Player's exposition dump redundant. It's trivia fired off in rapid succession that goes in one ear and out the next. They don't need to do it.

Any real learning happens after the show, when kids' interests are piqued and they go learn about it on their own.

Not once but TWICE

Except that's the exact same thing that the positive example you give ("but they may get inspired by watching stuff like Star Trek") does. They aren't learning anything from Star Trek, all the real learning happens after they watch it and get inspired.

I'm speaking very specifically about Player's exposition. That's the part that's unnecessary. Why are you trying to be obtuse?

They need to work the geography into the plot in a much more organic fashion.

Lovely outfit.

Yea that's a bit too much like exposition for educations sake.

Make the plots more congruent to the thievery. It is close but it falls a little short on that.
