If I remember my original lore correctly (and this was all stuff that was made in the mid to late 1990s designed to make you learn things), she worked for ACME before switching over to V.I.L.E., which in the original media, was largely full of bumbling, tongue-in-cheek villains to make Carmen's superiority stand out further (when you got a blonde bimbo and the freaking McCreary Twins as your henchmen, that says a lot). Not everything needs to be "darker and edgier", especially since this is geared for the same age demographic the original series was for back in the 1990s.
Wait... you're telling me this isn't designed for education, but a straight up action cartoon? Then, what's the point?

Is this going to be “interactive” like Minecraft Storymode and Bandersnatch?

It feels like a mash up of the 90's Carmen Sandiego cartoon and Kim Possible. Eh, that works for me.

It's about time they made a full show out of Erin Esurance.

Didn't we call that Sly Cooper?

So besides the look and a few names, this isn't Carmen Sandiego at all.

As someone who was madly in love with Carmen Sandiego at age 11, I will give it a chance.
But she better have goofy gimmick-henchmen.

I'm down. After everyone and their grandma Ruth was wrong about She-Ra on first blush, and it's not like it's going to cost me more than like a half hour's time, I'll at least check out the first episode and give it a shot. "Thief who only steals from other thieves" Didn't we call that Sly Cooper? That needs to return, damn it. |

I much rather have preferd them continue off of this...with the hints that Carmen is their mother and plus IMO the animation here still holds up well and the shitty flash animation isn't a blip on this quality.
Gotta love modern reboots though..make a hero out of A WOMAN WHO STOLE THE GAWD DAMN STATUE OF LIBERTY!

No Rockapella makes me far sadder than it probably should.

Based upon the intro, we're getting some "doing evil for the sake of EVIL!" type of villains to make Carmen more of a sympathetic figure. Oh, you meant her partners. Yeah... They're gonna get short-handed. |

Eh, I think it looks fine. Yeah, I get the issue with her being the protagonist and not an antagonist, but I think it's interesting enough for a fresh spin. Also, apparently a lot of MLP: FiM Staff are involved and I've learned to trust them over the years.  Could use Vic the Slick though |
