Cut content from this video: before the bit about how the 2019 cartoon embraces the franchise's history, I said "Plus, in some ways, you could even say that the “To Steal or Not to Steal” interactive special with branching dialogue trees is basically a new computer game that you can play on your television." but cut it for time & pacing. I also recorded the line "No offence to the 90s cartoon, but I think I would much rather watch the new one than listen to a half hour of Squidward and Robin bombarding me with geography trivia at the pace of a bouncing rabbit." because I watched the first episode of the 90s Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego and didn't really enjoy it, but I couldn't find a place in my script for it and didn't want to seem too disparaging.
I would’ve loved to have seen that, I saw the 90s first episode after seeing everything that Netflix’s show had to offer, I noticed Squidward and Robin’s voices, and I have to say Netflix is better, and it should’ve lasted longer
Of course there's a cabal but there's also good people fighting the good fight and it's not nessisarily rich people it's people who can be evil or can use there evil effectively
I like the fact she wears bright red yet she is never caught.
It's literally a glow in the dark
@@rift_right3259 vile's outfits even more so lol
That's why police is able to recognize her, she doesn't really care about being noticed or not
Plus, it's really fashionable
Well she was caught in the finale and in the beggining of the Interactive movie so yeah
@@kenny7761 she's only caught when you manage to somehow throw her off her game.
It rarely happens, but we do see that Chase Devinaux is the only one who ever actually do so...and only at the most inopportune times.
I always felt that the '90s cartoon depiction of Carmen Sandiego was very hard to root against in the way she carried herself. While she was the main antagonist, she was hardly what you'd call "evil". She was on the wrong side of the law, but had a code of honor that I always loved. Her words were smooth as silk. Carmen was trying to teach us a little something that went beyond geography. There are anit-heroes, and Carmen Sandiego was the anti-villain.
In the 90s cartoon the carmen sandiego there is more of a bad guy or bad gal but in the netflix series she's a good guy
Go TVtropes and read about "magnificent bastard".Because i think it fits Carmen more as an archetype.
Or, maybe watch OSP's video on Magnificient Bastards(the Trope that @@user-mh4hp6uq6h mentioned). It literally uses 90s Carmen as an example!
Yah she never hurt anyone and left clues like come get me before I do my crime.
Changing to the Barbie look for Carmen in the Netflix series makes sense in a functional manner within the context of the story as she is shown needing to be agile, flexible and light. The muscular physique actually fitted better if Carmen was taking the role as the foundational boss of a criminal organization like in the originals. 🤔
OMG I AGREE!
Also, the old one was probably at least a few decades older? She already had a career for ACME prior to her crime days, so she wouldn't be looking too young, unlike the new one who is probably in her late 20s at most.
The older style also happened to be when shoulder pads were fashionable. Thus giving a more blocky muscular look matched societies view of the fem-fatal
Not only that, didn't coach Brunt essentially replace the role of the big buff lady criminal boss?
Not to mention, the strongest character in that entire show, is coach brunt. All the male characters with few exceptions tend to focus on tricks and outsmarting rather than "big buff guy"
@@ralexcraft990 most of the time...V.I.L.E's been more about the outwitting thing than the big buff bouncer type...not that Carmen didn't have bouncers, but she whether she started out as a top level Interpol nuissance before going to A.C.M.E.'s star detective turned "best frienemy" because she used to Czech into the Monaco Agency daily and then reformed V.I.L.E. later (under A.C.M.E's guidance according to some fanfics) since she's a quadruple agent that flipped her lid that same night she pulled her own name out of when flying the coop.
There's also this one rule Carmen has about joining anybody in a romantic relationship or anybody working for her at V.I.L.E...they must have a punny name or their relationship must cause a pun about something.
Carmen is probably aware of the fact she's the most popular edutainment videogame character of all time...and is also likely aware that with the Time retooling, her show is the only game show to last longer than five seasons on PBS, seven seasons, five for geography, two for history...and if she's aware that she's in a show based on her games...it shouldn't take a Data Boost to know that romantically she likes The Chase.
I actually really enjoy her new Barbie-like design. It gives her more room to use her head rather than brute force, because she can’t solve everything through physical means (although she does that too).
Despite her build in the old series, she always used her head first...the bouncer stuff was left to Eartha Brute, Otto "Gnash" Readmore and Top Grunge in the past.
@@timepilotcluefinder94 well sure, she was always cool like that. Both of her designs are pretty fun :>
@@felixsfriendthatgavehimthe2108 I really prefer her classic red/gold look over the modern red/black, but I do like the idea here that her more common brunette or black hair is a wig under the fedora and that the auburn first given in 1985 Dossier is the true hair color (despite re-releases and updates making it seem like brunette is the real one...or black on three occasions.)
I'll say that the random trivia lessons are actually on point. History nerds love telling other history nerds about random factoids
Love julias “dull” facts
Carmen was never exactly evil in the 90's cartoon. She always saved Zack and Ivy and actually seemed to be upset when she thought they were going to get hurt. She even scolded what's his face when he betrayed the Acme agents and almost killed Zack and Ivy. She loved the thrill of the heist and the detectives getting hurt isn't exactly a part of that. It was always a game for her.
Lee Jordan...as in Hal's villainous cousin.
oh thank god more people are talking about this show..
ikr??? it's SO underrated
ikr like I stopped watching it when it was finished but now it’s like trending now

@@richardthang5266 what’s the name? This sounds amazing
I was unsatisfied with the finale too. Things seemed to happen so quickly and then resolved just a quickly. Carmen being brainwashed and turned against her morals didn't seem like a high stake, even though it should have been; because of how quickly everything happened. They could have introduced that plot point a few episodes earlier, then elaborated on how Zack, Ivy, Player and ACME helps Carmen get back to her senses again. But other than that, i think the series was fantastic.
Carmen was a kind of protagonist you don't often see in children's animated shows - smart, witty and cunning rather than the usual bubby, optimistic and blindly brave. Her character design didn't bother me much because she had to be flexible enough to do all the stuff she did, and not make much noise - something I'm not sure she'd be able to do if she was larger and more muscular. We still saw characters like Ivy, who had a more curvy body, and Chief Brunt who was definitely larger and more muscular, so it's definitely not the crew trying to yassify the women.
I have to agree. thought that's probably because the seasons became so ridiculously short. each season being 8 to 10 episodes and season 3 being a mear 5 episodes is crazy. I was shocked frankly. It felt worried about carmen getting brain washed but the moment I reminded myself this was the lasttwo episodes I was relaxed again.
It was good, but it could have been so much better with more episodes.
If I remember correctly, the show was originally going to be 5 seasons, and, if so, Carmen likely would have remained brainwashed for much of season 5. I don't know when the last season was cut or why, but it would explain why they rushed that storyline so much. Personally would have loved a season all about her friends struggling to keep up with her and find a way to bring her back.
I only really had two real gripes with the series. One you brought up: that she doesn't inform ACME about VILE for an unknown reason. I think it could have been fixed in a satisfying way fairly simply, and not changed much, while adding interesting content. Unfortunately the second problem I have with the series is one that might not have been something they could have changed, and that is the length of some of the seasons and the series as a whole. I am disappointed that it isn't continuing and that we haven't had an announcement for a sequel series of some kind.
I think they could have done that first part well by building up the idea of a Carmen v. ACME narrative. Perhaps there was a time where Carmen and ACME did actually try to work together, but due to fundamental differences on how each party operates and Carmen's idea of using thievery, things simply didn't pan out. It'd be a great idea to use to also explore possible flaws in both Carmen and ACME, both of them being stubborn in believing that each of their own methods of fighting VILE are best. Carmen thinks that ACME are just a bunch of overtly-legalist glorified police officers who are too constrained by regulation and their own shortsightedness to see just how problematic VILE is, and ACME sees Carmen as a wannabe vigilante who commits the exact same crimes as VILE and does more harm than good.
It'd make for a great story development to have this conflict come to a head in later seasons, as both Carmen's team and ACME have to put their differences aside to work together to stop VILE.
I think it was for two reasons. One of them is a spoiler sooo…
One: The head director of ACME killed Carmen’s father so Carmen probably didn’t feel safe or obligated working with ACME.
Or Two: The way Carmen works and the way ACME works clash a lot. Carmen probably would have felt restricted if she did any thing the “ACME” way. And ACME (while Chase and Julia did actually go along with her at times) probably would have gone against their own code if they followed Carmen’s lead.
@@redballoon9007 for the first one, Carmen didn't know that originally Hell she thought she was abandoned until VILE found her, for the second one Carmen is shown quite clearly to disagree with ACME's methods so I agree
I had a problem with the episode structure that for me tended to make me question the whole time 'is this girl actually good at thievery or not' and that is that at the start of each and every episode she will fail a heist or step of a heist get a clue from that then win in the final battle, this would be fine except for two points. One many of the times she failed are comparatively easier to pull off then the final heists and two that this pattern is so constant that it will give up key points that could be used to better the story in order to stick to the pattern. But on the whole it was well written I just wish they could keep Carmen's ability constant rather then the formula
@@michellekeppler982 I didn’t have this problem often actually- I know that Carmen wasn’t perfect and that she’d win in the end. It was a just the matter of how. Although the season three finale was when I liked the show the least. I feel like Carmen should have struggled more during the heist and her knowing about the trap the whole time was kinda unlikely.
That's why I fell in love with this show. I know I didn't watch the original series growing up since I wasn't even born yet, but this adaptation introduced me to the franchise in a big way. I've seen a lot of people give this show grief just because Carmen isn't a villain anymore. But as you said, this felt like the right direction. I enjoy the fact that Carmen has more of a character, with an engaging backstory. I also love the unique art style of the show. Something about it is so special and really pleasing to the eye.
This became one of my absolute favorite shows, to be honest. I just wish it could have lasted longer but, it's totally fine! My only complaint is that the ending felt rushed and didn't feel all that satisfying. But overall, it was a great series. :)
I'll admit the finale isn't perfect, but I want to appreciate what we got, rather than let what ifs spoil what I'd otherwise enjoy.
Edit: Also, as a trans lesbian, I've no problems with Carmen's design. I often try to imitate her movements when the show is on my mind.
I'm surprised the show never made a reference to Maurice LeBlanc's gentleman burglar, Arsene Lupin
At the time it would have brought itself a huge can of worms, if you mention Lupin in a story like this then you would have to reference Sherlock Holmes and the people who run the estate that has the Holmes license has a notorious history with over protection of the Holmes copyright thinking every story is protected by copyright when it isn't the case
@@SetoShadowVT They could also just reference Lupin since it’s completely independant from Holmes or use Leblanc’s ultimate parade against the Doyle estate when he was writing the LupinxHolmes crossover aka Herlock Sholmes.
Whats that?
@@Katnip50 Are you talking about Arsene Lupin ?
I loved this series. My biggest complaint is the series finally because the scene with the Vile faculty being caught seemed to easy. All they really had to do was ask Carmen where they are and then just arrest them(She could have just told them from the beginning before they moved locations). There should have been more of a fight, the only one putting up a fight was Brunt and even she was taken down to easily(a net shouldn't have taken her down that easily).
I think Carmen didn't tell ACME about VILE in the first place is because she just didn't trust them ,probably thinking they will arrest her when she was no longer useful (+she knew Chase worked with ACME and given that he is so adamant about catching her ,maybe she assumed that the other agents are the same ).And VILE blew up the island before Carmen and ACME started working together.About the faculty's capture ,i agree it should've been mote interesting ,but if you think about it Brunt is the only faculty member that can actually fight and the only other members of VILE we saw were Tigress and Mimebomb (he is not much of a fighter)so probably they were the only ones on site ,like i agree it could've been better especially since we saw that VILE has plenty of goons ,but it is what it is
This series is so underrated. One of the only remakes of existing content I actually liked. I compare it to Kim Possible all the time, and low key actually think it's better. This series was exciting to watch even fillers. I adored almost every character (especially Julia) and Quote "La Femme Rouge/ Madam Rouge" in an angry French voice as often as possible. We deserve another season of this fine show. >.
Davineux..
That hurt so bad..
honestly, this show started so great, and I loved every minute, but they were so shafted in the last two seasons with the rushed plot. I know there was the whole pandemic. I guess the critic in me would have rather waited until 2022 for the season 3 to even start. It had so much potential but got screwed in the end due to the pandemic. Oh well, I'm glad we still got what we did. I just feel we could have used this show as a massive launching point for a sizable franchise.
There’s a live action origin movie that apparently is still in production that was announced alongside the series. I’m not optimistic it’ll get as ballsy as your premise, but it would be cool to see.
Speaking of her being a hero For some reason I want Carmen to meet Spider-Man on a visit to New York. I know I know, black cat but they’re wouldn’t be any romance between them just banter
Thank you I always thought nostalgia critic take on 2019 series was kinda trash.
yeah society has kinda progressed beyond the need for hearing doug walker's opinions and nostalgia critic videos
shots fired
@@danelisslow3269 i mean he can still have them but we just dont need to hear them
@@Lavapasta I’m glad someone says it, I get annoyed by most of Doug’s reviews nowadays.
Damn, I like Doug’s stuff a lot
Aka I can't believe it's not sly Cooper.
alternatively, 'I can't believe it's not kim possible or mission impossible: the animated series"
It’s a much better Sly Cooper series than the one we were almost going to get.
Now I know why I love this show. It reminds me of Kim possible; I ADORED that show as a kid!
I have never watched that.
@@Katnip50 it’s about a highschool cheerleader who was also a secret agent with her guy buddy Ron. No secret identity hidden from her parents tho, they encourage her exploits bc they know she’s capable. Also Ron has a pet naked mole rat.

Am I the only one who binges the show?
I loved it
No, your are not, I do to.
People were gonna criticize it
But they genuinely made a great show
The twists and more make this more enjoyable to watch for both adults and kids
Being a hero was part of Carmen's background. The desire to watch stories from those days helps making it work.
I LOVE this show so much. The only thing i'd change is the finale, as it needed a LOT more time. Unfortunately that's just how cartoons seem to be treated nowadays by the major companies that produce them. I can't remember the last time an amazing cartoon wasn't cut short.
MY Little Pony Friendship is Magic had a good fulfilling ending IMO
I loved this show. And I’ll prob be rewatching it often.
Only issue I had was how rushed it was in the finale. Taking down Vile should have been another season. However, Netflix is notorious for canceling shows early and it wouldn’t have surprised me if they informed them last minute that this would be the final season.
I never saw the original version, thus this made sense to me.
Agreed. I'm almost done watching the Netflix version of the show and I decided to watch the first episode of the original show. It was OK imo.
I’m so mad I never guessed what Player was supposed to represent
It's the Sly Cooper TV series we never got
I absolutely love this show
Carmen Sandiego *was* a character in the 90's cartoon and not just a plot factor.. if you look carefully, she was pretty much shown as designed.. a thief hiding behind her heists.. she wasn't meant to be shown that often, but she was shown more than she should've been, considering her secretive personality.. the Netflix cartoon just takes it and flips it around.. i look forward to getting to it
and about the "Barbie" look, it seems appropriate she should have that form, as she hasn't had time to work out.. if you think about it, this could be a prequel series
You don’t lose muscle when you work out 🤨
@@YllidTheLoonyDog i know.. i was saying that's how she could've looked earlier on, in the same timeline, but before "Where on Earth"
Well done!
In the 90s series she wasn’t evil or exactly a villain but she was still a criminal. She was more an antivillain than a villain in the sense of the people working for vile.
She's just Robinhood for the 2019 show.
yooooo your videos are such high quilty manee you need more views
I think maybe my problem is that I keep making videos about anime cartoons and then flipping to western cartoons or video games or comics and vice versa, so that the subscribers I gain from one subject don't have any interest in any of the other stuff I cover- which is how I have over 13k subscribers but less than 1k views on the day my videos get published. Either that or youtube just doesn't put them in subscribers' feeds for whatever reason.
@@Lavapasta you deserve more subs my friend your content is great keep it up! I'm no expert in youtube so I don't know what to say to you but I'm sure that you'll get better over time.
never been familiar with the Live action TV show, Computer Game or a board game, because as a kid, I only ever got the animated series here in the UK. I enjoyed watching the new series when I discovered it (some years later). While certainly some of the narrative could have been written better, I did feel it was nice to bring all the 3 main characters from the original show back.
It did feel a bit like the series could have been a prequel to the Original series given the way it ended. Apart from how in the original she doesn't know about her family heritage. That being said, there is certainly room in her future for her to become that villain again for what she sees as a greater just cause which acme might not be able to see.
My only big disappointment with the new series is that it ended so soon and it would have been nice to know after 3 seasons what happened next.
I thought the 2019 Carmen Sandiego Netflix was the original for a while until later I'm still new to the whole Carmen Sandiego but for some reason I feel a sense of nostalgia for certain parts of the theme song
i love this show, i wonder what new carmen sandiego show they will make in the future
hoping that they do
I love your videos, they are legendary
you are a legend
Why not try making a video every week ???
too much work, i would need a backlog first
Awesome video. Coincidentally, I recently played Carmen Sandiego: The Secret of the Stolen Drums on my PS2 and I simply LOVED playing that game. While Carmen is still more of an antagonist in that game, the fact that she continues to give clues to the main character makes me feel that Carmen has a bigger motive to these thefts than anyone could anticipate. While playing the game, I suspected more and more that Carmen was more than a superhero (or rather an anti-hero) than a criminal, suggesting that there is more to her than meets the eye. I also loved that art style in the game as well. It is quite fun actually and I highly recommend playing some time.
Now, I have to admit that I have not seen the cartoon of Carmen Sandiego, as I did not like the animation style, but from what you said in the video, it might suggests that Carmen may have been a Hero from the get go rather than a villain. She is a great character and I hope we will hear about this character (rather via tv series, movie or video games) very soon...Fingers crossed...
Cool video
Good vid👍🏽
the way carman sandiego looks in that show now makes kids watching you dont have to llok super strong to be super strong, at least in my opionion same with ivy
I honestly couldn’t agree with you more on the Netflix series
We went from a series where Carmen merely stole for fun and being the head of Vile to now going against Vile and being the hero. I can’t call this good but it is a weird interpretation of Carmen Sandiego. The series is in no way perfect but given its credit I am amazed that it was able to carry for four seasons as opposed to other Netflix shows that didn’t even get past one season or two.
And I do agree with the other is that the ending was rushed and anticlimactic and did not really feel very satisfying considering the brainwashing Carmen has went through. Another issue I had is that she wins too much against Vile, like literally there is never been any episodes where a Vile actually scores a victory with her, until the end when she’s brainwashed but that’s not enough. She’s always way too successful in foiling their plans even if it seems like she failed. Like it literally could not hurt to have one episode where Vile wins and steal a historical artifact and she loses. But nope every time they do attempt it she’s always successful. If you’re having your heroes win all the time it just makes the series boring.
And most of the characters in Carmen Sandiego was just flat and boring and did not have enough motivation so I did not root for Carmen in the series and taken down vile
As a hard-core lover of the 90s Carmen, this was an alright show but I'll never fully accept it because I fell in love with that badass Carmen that stole for the love of it
I didn't know Carmen Sandiego was a remake 😂
She should get a video game I honestly need more of her maybe something like sly cooper with platforming
Actually, there is a video called Carmen Sandiego: The Secret of the Stolen Drums for the PS2. While a bit old, especially since it is a PS2 game, the game is still quite fun. And it features EXACTLY the same platforming features you mentioned.
1:12 But isn't that like suggesting that because the book is titled "Where's Waldo," we should be seeing a bunch more Waldo? Or that we should be retitling Waitings for Godot and Guffman something else, as neither shows up? Like, the hook is exactly in the searching, the waiting, the unfindability of the titular character.
Not that I'm not on board with making CSD an anti-hero. Just sayin', the title doesn't actually *need* to suggest that we be watching a story that *features* CSD - just that we're watching a story *centered* on her...or rather, the space where she should be.
NGL I thought this show would be nauseating but I loved it
Aw shit, you actually sold me the show. I still think she's a dirty thief, but I'm down for a good heist show.
how long do you think the average cartoon should be
Was I the only one who cried during the finale?
I cried twice.
Wtf...A crime lady with a great willpower, charisma, smartness and cool outfit? I'm in
I call the change in the franchise the Sly Cooper effect doing wrong things for the right reason
And the books?
I wanted shadow hawkins in the show
He is right carmen sandiego steel and keep it at the house for one day and when the today is now a tomorrow carmen sandiego will secretly give it back
Me personally I grew up with the 90s Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego. And when this show came out on Netflix. I think that she’s somehow the granddaughter of Carmen Sandiego from the 90s cartoon. Because how would you explain the red hat and coat that she finds? Hmm… and the head of VILE is actually Carmen Sandiego herself. And the reason she created VILE was to find a successor who is truly worthy of continuing her work as Carmen Sandiego.
She just might not have known that of the possible candidates at VILE the true Successor would be her granddaughter.
not carmen being a hypocrite
leaving her 2 best friends work for the women who killed her dad and disappear
So... Is the live action Carmen Sandiego movie coming or not?
I hope to God it wouldn’t become a live action movie or series, these days live action fail so bad it’s nauseating 😓🤢
@@Highschoolgiril Yes I agree.
But then they should continue this show too with more episodes and more relationships.
Personally more red crackle ❤️❤️🌹🌹
@Highschoolgiril Agreed. If it did happen, I would hope that it convinces the people who don't care to watch animated shows to watch the Netflix version of the show instead though.
Regarding Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning, while they have exposed some coverups of wrongdoings by the USA, their actions also exposed sensitive things which threaten good relations between countries.
Is it noble? I don’t know.
Who?
I didn't find it so great. Not bad but not good.
my only complaints are what you said & I miss muscular Carmen, judge me if you want but that is my want, everything else about the show is mwah
I mostly agree because the old cartoon sets this up a bit. But Zach and Ivy are objectively worse.
She feels like a Kim possible copy.
None of us are good
Eh, disagree. You're basically arguing against the idea of subtlety. Your argument boils down to, the show has her name, thus she must be on the screen as much as possible. I would argue that as a spy, as a thief, as a mysterious antagonist, the 90's show nailed it by having her in the show plenty, but having her be the mystery that those watching focus on and try to solve.
I think that there's the case to be made that when your show's focus is supposed to be elegant and mysterious, there's something to be gained by not having them plastered all over the screen every moment.
You start out by admitting that fans will see the complete reversal of the core part of her personality as a betrayal, but your only response to that is, well yes, but they had to, because otherwise they couldn't have carpeted the show wall to wall with her. Which you present not just as a good choice, but the only valid choice. I disagree wholeheartedly, and I think you're saying that your basis is, the only form of storytelling you think is valid, is writing the idea for the show in giant capital letters in sharpie and shoving it in your audience's face.
You know, using AI, I made 38 actresses portray Carmen Sandiego. It's pretty cool!
There seems to be a pro police sentament in netflix carmen sndiego which doesnt sit quite right with me. And pro museum which is a big problem considering most artifavts we have are stolen goods that belong to the culture they were taken from. That wouldve beena much better approach toCarmen.
BOO
Your LYING
How is he lying about anything?
Smells like woke shit to me, and there is way too much of that out there.
I am not a fan of shows being too progressive or alt right but this series is neither. Yeah there’s girl power but they don’t tell- they show. There is representation but it’s the best kind where they show and don’t tell. I hope you consider giving it a try at least!
At least look up the fight scenes because they are awesome.
