The High Cost of Making Villians more Heroic (Netflix Carmen Sandiego)

It's just a vlog type thing with an open question for the comment section.

I agree with a loy of this video, but fucks sake, one girl sounds like she's speaking through dental headgear, and the other was so monotone she almost put me to sleep.

Newsflash: nerds don't have a lot of confidence or practice, and end up sounding like that.

explain for those of us who cant afford $48 bucks a month for a youtube subscription retard

Tell me about Noonie! Why does she spoonfeed anons?

I'm not gonna watch it but I assume it's just
>female villains arent allowed to be villains and must have a sympathetic backstory or angle or their villainous traits removed entirely
Which I agree is a problem, especially with Disney Reboots, but really doesnt bother me with Carmen Sandiego.

>>female villains arent allowed to be villains

but Carmen Sandiego has several female villains ????

I'm not watching the video so maybe they acknowledge that half of Carmens villains in the netflix reboot are women, or maybe they dont, I'm not gonna check.
A better topic to bring up would be Disneys rebooted 101 Dalmatians giving Cruella a tragic backstory to explain her hatred of dalmatians

I think they're talking about villains as main characters in general being misunderstood somewhat anti-heroes, like they did with Maleficent, the wicked witch of the west or what they try to do with Harley from time to time.
I think it's more a trend that happens to a lot of modern villains, both male and female so I don't mind it that much.

Then we aren't going to watch your video faggot. I really don't care

Then I guess I don't give a fuck about it.

In Carmen Sandiego's case, making her an anti-hero isn't really a new thing. In the 90s cartoon, she was a former detective who was so good at her job that she got bored and wanted something more challenging. She was constantly flip-flopping between stealing shit to see if the heroes could solve her riddles and giving them hints to help them catch other villains. She was mostly harmless as long as the heroes were smart enough to keep playing with her.

There is also the fact that Carmen has always fallen into the "gentleman thief" archetype since her conception, which is far more likely to be antagonistic rather than outright villainous.

She was outright villainous in her conception, during the original computer games and game shows. The 90s cartoon was where they first tried to make her sympathetic.

i watched this at weekend. The start is pretty slow, but it gets much better after a couple of episodes
I honestly expected nothing from the show, but I can't believe i actually liked the reboot
...and finally, some love for gingers in a show

As a person who never watched or played the Carmen games, I did enjoy the show but I found to be routing for Chase more than Carmen because he was struggling more than the hero.

I hope that was intentional. Chase is pretty fun.

Chase can be a badass. Heroic Will Power: He's able to initially resist V.I.L.E.'s mind-reading machine by loudly singing the French National Anthem; and even when he can’t resist any longer, he's able to use Exact Words to bypass giving them what they want.
Hidden Depths: Despite his recklessness, he's far from incompetent as shown under the proper circumstances. He's able to resist V.I.L.E.'s mind-reading machine initially and is smart enough to activate his A.C.M.E. pen after Carmen frees him so the Chief will see him in danger, ping his location and send a rescue party.

So what you're saying that he intentionally acts like an idiot (for essentially no good reason) or are you saying that he has moments of lucidity?

He is impulsive and to quake to make conclusions. Why he seems to be an idiot.
