Jacky shan being the biggest for me, found almost all episodes and binged in a few days. I realized the show is actually very formulaic. Bad guys want to collect a number of artifacts, the good guys tries to collect them all before the bad guys and succeeded but then the bad guys get all the artifacts in the end and the good guys have to stop them. This was plot for season 1,3,4,5,6 and with 2 having the most episode but are all filler. I also watche 50 Code Lyoko but got bored, there almost 100 episodes

Obviously those shows weren’t meant to be binged but even then they are repetitive, however with jacky shan i have nostalgia and its still special to me

    I ended up rewatching a few episodes of Thundercats some years ago and it was… not great. Can’t remember too many specifics (I think for one thing the dialog was pretty bad) but it definitely wasn’t really appealing as an adult.

      Thundercats! Not great, for sure, but I remember that the same weaknesses were still there in the 80s

      Snarf was always insufferable. My idiot brother and I hated Snarf. Why was he not humanoid like the other Thundercats? Why was he a ripoff of Lost-In-Space’s Doctor Smith? Why did he have weird crocodilian qualities? “snarf snarf”

      Liono was just one dimensionally dumb. Kit and Kat were clearly there for the littler kids to relate to.

      Tigra and Panthro were solid dudes. Cheetara and Pumyra were the closest thing to making me question my sexuality at a tender age. Mumm-ra was great - he had a nice pyramid and flying wrappers. Mumm-ra’s henchmen have probably aged the worst.
