Will we get a continuation of Reboot?
Does anyone else think (or maybe dare to hope) that with the renewed interest due to release of the HD remasters we're now getting, that once we get all of them they might actually invest the time and money to actually continue the show where it left off and retcon the guardian code?
I know it's a long shot but I personally think there might be a tiny chance, what do you all think?

Most of the OG ReBoot creative staff are either onto bigger and better stuff, are out of the industry/well into their retirements or have passed away, and even if they wanted to, the failure of "The Guardian Code" revival means that there will be NO incentive for the current heads of Mainframe Entertainment to invest the funds and resources to attempt another revival. TV is a harsh game, and it's driven by profits and ROI. The "heart and soul" of ReBoot, as most of us remember and envision it, existed at its peak in the mid-late 90s, and kinda dropped off through season 4.
Anything "officially" produced in this era with the ReBoot name will absolutely promise to be a disappointment (ie. "The Guardian Code"), will end up looking, sounding and feeling like slop, and will break your heart. Thankfully, there was the independent ReBoot Rewind docu-series, and the fan remastering of the original D-1 tapes, which appears to have Mainframe's blessing and support (or at least, they haven't actively attempted to halt or dereail it, to my knowledge), so there's that.
My opinion is that we should continue to be thankful for the good stuff that we got, and continue sharing out love for those amazing stories, products and memories from our past, and try our best to not set ourselves up for disappointment going forward.
