If it was like the reboots I'd sue Cartoon Network. They ruined two parts of my childhood with TTG and the Powerpuff Reboot...*Cries.*

I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be alone on the suing party if CN screws up Jack.

There is no way. Why could get CN to want to bring back a show from over a decade ago? Isn't the voice actor for Aku dead?

I suppose it is fantastic that this series can get a conclusion, but how good would the newer animation available now be reconciled with the older style of animation? The new episodes might look too "new" compared to the episodes from the original series' run so it will be too obvious to viewers that the last season or so was slapped on much later.

Considering that a lot of the people who will watch this are the fans of the original series, we already know the last season is "slapped on much later."

Pretty sure Tartakovsky is still involved, not sure how they can screw it up. Maybe we'll get a conclusion movie out of this like he was always planning.

He doesn't need it, you know that man is basically invincible when he's shirtless. Armor's just gonna slow him down.

My only real worry is that Adult Swim won't exercise the restraint that the original show's creators did.

The charm of the original, at least for me, was that it was almost...tastefully violent? I guess that's the best way of putting it.

I'll probably watch it anyway, but the idea of a Samurai Jack with T&A and gore just kind of ruins the appeal for me.

I'm not saying that's whats going to happen, but Adult Swim is very hit or miss for me lately, but the idea of Samurai Jack ending up like Mr. Pickles just kills my inner child's rotting corpse.
