Hey folks, remember ReBoot, the first fully-animated CGI action series about what goes on in your computer? Well forget all of it, because ReBoot: The Guardian Code throws that all out the window and leech on nostalgia to drive a mediocre series. TGC is a truly confusing experience that manages to botch everything that made the original ReBoot fantastic. Throwing out any continuity with the original, the new series follows 4 kids who were chosen based on their high mobile game scores to defend cyberspace from various evils. In an attempt to draw in prior fans, the series re-introduces the original villain Megabyte in image-only. The new Megabyte receives a visual upgrade which is rather boring, and although he promises to relay his vengeance, he instead acts as a cyber-slave for the evil human hacker "The Sourcerer". Relying on a confusing plethora of storylines ranging from debit cards not working when buying kale chips to launching nuclear missiles, the plotline seemingly struggles to pull together various story arcs until cramming conclusions together in the final episode of Season 1 (1x20, Black Hole). This is not the ReBoot you grew up with. Don't waste your time.

Its good but I want more episodes of the cartoon with mainframe. create a series in that universe from that series where a character or two gets into a tangle with the a remnant of virus daemon and said character mysteriously gets gets stranded in mainframe, when they tried to leave through the codec. or were they duplicated? call it "Reboot The Escape From Cyberspace" or something
