      To be fair, it’s not all that bad that Generator Rex ended where it did. The story was wrapped up, the main plot threads resolved, many characters got through their arc. At least it ended in a decent place instead of being milked over and over again, coming up with continuously more hare-brained plot directions to justify the story continuing. If anything, the main crime is simply that it’s fallen into obscurity and isn’t known by those who did not watch it when it aired (if I hadn’t watched it then, I never would’ve heard about it)

    "Breach" is often most people's favorite episode of Season 1. Its a great episode and introduces a great character. I feel this show was...deep for Cartoon Network at the time. Maybe too deep and they cared more about the sales than the actual potential it possessed. It was definitely a more preteen show than a show that was aimed for 7-10 year olds which is what CN was concentrating on at the time. They wanted easy money and this show wasn't making them easy money. Which is a shame because it was a very detailed and entertaining show.

    The point with agent Six losing his memories is that it wasn't an accident. Rex brother was the one who created the machine to be used on Rex. After it "failed" Six lost exactly six years, about the same time Rex has been using his powers. It's implied it wasn't actually built to cure his amnesia, but instead to erase all the bad memories from Rex's brain since his original accident and giving him back only his childhood ones, restoring his trust into his older brother and allowing him to convince Rex to leave Providence with him. Even the way Six acts as his memories fade is the same way as Rex acts during the finale, because it was speciffically built to replicate that exact process.
    Of course Cesar didn't expect Six to volunteer to test the machine, but once he saw a chance to make Six stop being a family member to Rex (and thus, getting rid of one reason for him to stay on Providence) he let the events run their course. Remember, back then he didn't trust Providence, and never liked the way Six continuously kept Rex (his only family alive) away from him.

    • @JH24821

      Wow, that's a very good point. I never thought about it from that perspective. It does seem odd that Ceasar's invention would "fail" like that, especially if he was going to use it on his brother. Your theory also supports Ceasar's actions in season 3 as he would have been better able to watch over Rex.
      It's a good thing Six and White Knight never found out if Ceasar really wanted to take Rex away from Providence. Six already had the urge to "kill" Ceasar after everything went wrong with his memory machine.

    this show is so underappreciated, and i loved it to bits when i was younger. but what it lacked was cartoon network's target audience appeal. in comparison to ben 10, i think it felt too clinical. lots of white was used in the environments, compared to ben 10's differing alien planets and lush green earth environments, or dark backgrounds that let the green in the omnitrix and the bright colours of the aliens stand out. also, cool, cartoonish, funny monsters are more sellable to young boys than crazy, gross monsters. people fell in love with kid ben 10 first and got to know his arrogant, playful side before delving into the serious stuff, whilst rex even appears older than ben in character design and is more like the cool, jock cousin of ben 10.

    Generator Rex was so cool! It’s actually based on a comic book from Image Comics back in 1999 that had a very short run, by the same creators before they were known as Man Of Action. The book was called M. Rex and Rex was a blonde in it. When Generator Rex’s first episode aired a watched and thought “holy crap this seems oddly familiar” so I dug through my comic boxes and lo and behold I was right! It was one of the coolest revelations I’ve ever had in all my years of being a fan of animation and comics.

With them still in the picture it could continue with Van Kliess and gang would keep scheming and probably return Evos, VK infecting them to build an army. But for what reason we do not know. Then we have the Five, Black knight said the could get back their power so there that. And the there’s Rex still saving the day. What happens after you save the world. Will he let fame get to him. And how do people react to him since there were Evos who like being Evos.

    I was hardcore into Generator Rex while it was airing, and was part of the fandom via Tumblr. As far as I know, merch sales had a lot to do with the show not going further than a third season (and were likely responsible for its transfer to online availability only for a while until it was returned to CN's air schedule, though somewhat out of order). In comparison, even though Ben 10's ratings haven't always been as consistently solid, the toyline was apparently one of the best selling ones internationally for a while and that's probably why CN was eager to keep pouring money into that franchise. That said, folks who worked on GR have indicated they would have liked to do more if given the opportunity, but three seasons was what they were originally gunning for in terms of completion. (IIRC, they did also plan to cram more into those final episodes but ran short on time and minor bits had to be cut. One such bit showed how Bobo Haha escaped the worldwide cure, for example.)
    Anyway, thanks for making and posting this video. I've been feeling nostalgic for GR as of late, what with the 10th anniversary coming up on April 23. Always nice to see other people giving this show some love, even belatedly. It certainly deserves a hell of a lot more appreciation.

I mean: the plot, animation, settings, music, characters, diversity and development; not only it has fan service but also some maturity and relativity to the world. And some have taught the Avatar: the Last Air Bender series have those aspects. No, this is like second to that! Out of all the cartoons I watched in my time outside of Avatar: the Last Air Bender, this one is my first cartoon that I see that progresses out of the cartoons' comfort zone and evolves the world of cartoon making forever.

Brother was introduced in season 2 and although there were some misses in season 2 it was still a solid season. However, in Season 3 they really missed the mark with so many fillers and rushed. And there was a cliffhanger at the end. They also left several plot threads dangling. At least it got an ending, but it wasn’t as satisfying as it could have been.

The two of us were kinda considered the 'drawers' (yes, they called us that) in class bc... we drew a lot...yea...so i kinda had this competitive vibe whenever i see him and I would just draw too...bc i *must* draw better than him and draw what he's drawing to see who's better at drawing and blah,blah,blah....
    So anyway I remembered this one time when i saw him *not* draw ben 10....
    And i was like 0.o , wtf? What's happening?? Who are u and what have you done to Ryan ( aka.myclassmatewholovesben10somuchheneverstopsdrawigthem)?? Just... Whomst? *What* or *who* was he drawing then?? I gotta find out and when i do....
    So turns out he was drawing Rex.... that new show in cartoon network...
    And i was like, hmm..... yea, he *did* look.... kinda cool....
    (And 10 yr old me kinda instantly had this weird cruch on rex...ugh...he just looked so....anime-y)

That made me feel less crazy lol. I remember getting hate on social media years ago because of how passionate I was over this series. Which made no sense whatsoever because it was underrated and awesome. A part of me wants there to be a decent reboot only because the original series never got the attention it deserved. Then again, reboots do not have a good track record rn. So...maybe not anytime soon. I still miss Generator Rex sm lowkey 🥺 Cartoon Network has never been the same without it.

      They did specify that he was all most killed in accident until they used the nanites to save him so maybe they just left him with it and were trying to make a replacement batch when the accident happened

    Funny you brought up Breach as you did. That was the episode I just happened to catch one day when I was bored and actually watched the show. It got me to look past what I considered the standard action cartoon marketing, and weird protagonist. Once I did, it wasn't long until I got hooked.

    Could be the more mature themes like the regular body horror was offputting for the toy desiring demographic. Fewer kids watching means fewer kids wanting the toys, and less money the show makes. Meanwhile Ben 10 has so many merchandisable characters and didn’t stray too far from kid friendly. The early body horror aspects were dialled down immensely, especially in the alien transformation sequences.

    Well, Man of action did planed for Generator rex to get a season 4 because Van Kleiss and his group were still not cured.
    Also Rex coud always transform into 2 different gaint robots.
    1.his evo form where he has no control and will self destruct as a resort.
    2.his omega-1 form same thing but he has control and different design and way more powerful.

      Well partly yeah but the main "commercial" is the show itself basically.
      If the series gets big then more commercials and toys will be made but if it never gets too a big audience it doesn't really make sense to push products for it

    From what I remember they wanted a season 4 to end it but didn’t get it. Because they always had an ending in mind. But toys. So the ending did get rushed, and two seasons got compressed into one. But at least they stuck it out to give it an ending.
