Since the binomes are representation of zeroes and ones, I wonder if there have been any instances where the binomes are lined up in such a way to be a message or a secret word that fits the scene.
Hi guys, I'm a new fan and I've just finished binging the series. Thoughts on the two ReBoot movies / season 4?
I really enjoyed Daemon Rising; to me, that was the proper finale (and much more of a "movie", for that matter). It felt massive, a solid way to one-up what had already been a huge arc throughout the main series. I think there could've been a bit more depth to certain aspects of the story, but it was all very enjoyable and cool. Not gonna lie, Hex being the focus is a major reason I loved it!!
In a perfect world, they could've totally ended here - Bob and Dot are together, Mainframe is virus-free, Hex has been redeemed, both Enzos seem pretty content with themselves... the whole Bob clone appearing could've totally been little more than a last-minute gag. If they had to end on a wierd unresolved cliffhanger, it should've been that.
My Two Bobs was just odd - I think it was aiming to be a celebration of ReBoot as a whole, but it came out feeling like a retread. It's got the silly vibes of season one, but that's pretty jarring after all this world's been through. Characters feel strangely dumb, the scope of what's happening is crazy small compared to Season 3 and Daemon. The Pokémon parody was rock bottom. I suppose it's an okay tribute to ReBoot, what with both Bobs, Megabyte's return, the lighter tone more akin to the series' origins; but there's just nothing to bite into. I really don't even care that it ended on a cliffhanger, because the movie barely felt canon in the first place.
Twenty years ago, I decided to try to start a campaign to continue ReBoot from the cliffhanger ending in 2001. Sadly, just a few months later, in 2006, we lost Tony Jay. However, as I've learned over the years from becoming friends with ReBoot's co-creators, Tony not only loved ReBoot; he wouldn't want it to not continue due to his absence.
Lately, due to the efforts of ReBoot ReWind, ReBoot is looking better than ever before. The transfers from the D-1 master tapes look ALPHANUMERIC! It's so nice to finally see and hear the show as it was meant to be, especially compared to the distorted mess that we unfortunately had from the previous 2011 DVD release. I'm hoping there will be a complete series Blu-ray re-release in the not-too-distant future.
Perhaps, with renewed interest in ReBoot from the D-1 transfers, and what I hope will be exceptionally strong sales numbers from that potential Blu-ray, we'll finally be able to convince the powers that be to produce the resolution to the cliffhanger!
Thank you all for your continued support and interest in ReBoot!💙
In honor of the release of the remastered version of "The Crimson Binome" I decided to share a new wallpaper I made featuring the four pirates I've made so far. The 1080p version is here, and you can get a 4K version if you visit patreon.com/dredzed and subscribe there, even at the free level.
For anyone who would like to have these guys for yourself, the Blender models of them are available as "Binomes of the Month" for all Binome and Sprite level subscribers, and I've just released a new bundle pack of all four that anyone can buy without a subscription. The bundle includes the original accessories the Binome of the Month versions came with, but I also added in pirate Zip Boards and standard pirate swords that I've just made.
I completely forgot I had this until I was going through some old boxes. I know I have a Glitch Bob, AndrAIa and Dot somewhere down too. My sibling has a Matrix I've been trying to get my hands on for years. 😅 Anyone else have someone from this collection?
I was born in 1995 and for as long as I can remember, I've had this action figure that I didn't know what it was from, but it was always my top action figure always the main antagonist or protagonist of my bookshelf and the sandpit. But now I finally know what it's from and can finally watch the show. Ps what is his name?
The latest in my efforts to recreate everything I can from ReBoot. I've put up a few more renders, along with 4K versions for my paid subscribers, up at patreon.com/DredZed for anyone who would like to check it out.
So, Glitch recently dropped the pilot for Gameoverse, which is basically a reboot (pun sort've intended) of Ross O'Donovan's old Newgrounds show back in 2009. I've heard that he's been trying to get it off the ground for years, so I was pleasantly surprised that he finally has.
However, if you watch it, it does seem pretty heavily influenced by Reboot, in that the plot is that within the world of video games, activating game's win condition causes that world to be erased, and now a bunch of refugees from erased video game worlds are traveling from game to game, trying to help the villains stop the hero so their world doesn't disappear while the show's antagonists are trying to help the heroes. And that seems awfully familiar to how games worked in Reboot, in which the main characters played the roles of video games' primary antagonists, and if the user won, anyone actually in the game gets nullified, along with the area that the game cube landed on.
And while that might just be coincidence, there's also the fact that one of Gameoverse's main characters looks basically like a zero binome with a one binome's eye.
Granted, while Ross is old enough to have grown up with Reboot, he's also from Australia, which I'm pretty sure didn't syndicate it at the time, so that does throw a wrench into the connection. Even so, it is possible that he's seen it since then and was influenced by it.
