    Codename: Kids Next Door is one of the most exciting shows of early Cartoon Network. A mysterious treehouse hidden from adults is the headquarters for five friends known as Kids Next Door. These 10-year-olds take on adults to get out of going to the dentist or summer camp by using "2x4 Technology." They build and design elaborate contraptions using anything they can get their hands on: bubble gum, old wood, and spare tires. Each kid has a specialty and works with the team to win silly battles with adults.

      I haven't gotten to that part of the video yet, but does AlphaJay address the implication that delightfulization might've permanently locked the ages of the DC? The DC are still children, even though Sector Z is implied to be missing for a while, and Numbuh Zero somehow knew about them (though that might've been recommissioning "filling him in"). Meaning that they're not only brainwashed children, but could actually be brainwashed PERMANENT children.

I do look like a young teenager still and sound even younger ngl). But even irl, teens still hate adults and vise versa.

    You enjoyed that Toiletnater speech so much you showed it twice (not that I'm complaining haha)
    Great retrospective and interesting video, it's interesting that the show had so much interconnecting story and lore to it compared to a lot of other series at the time. Like Billy and Mandy and Courage the Cowardly Dog and other shows airing at the time had reoccurring characters but KND always felt like it was building a full world in a way and things weren't often just brought up and forgotten about. In a way it set the stage for more modern shows like Adventure Time, Gravity Falls and other cartoons with stronger connecting tissue between episodes, even if it wasn't perhaps as serialised as those could be (though it seems the continuation may go further in that direction if it ever comes to be)

    As much as I LOVE this show, I prefer if they don't make a sequel. every time an audience feels nostalgic for an old show/movie they once loved, the reboot ends up being a thousand times worse. KND will always have a special place in my heart, but all great things must come to an end.

  • @CREATIVEART100

    Not only did KND give us the reveal like that Mr. Boss is Numbah 86's father and Father is Numbah 1's Uncle, but they also gave us the reveal of the Toiletnator being Numbah 4's uncle (in the KND comics). It really cemented that the evil villains they fight against are all in the same general area, and if it's a small town, could easily be just these kids fighting their asshole family members. I think it's beautiful, not to mention my LOVE of the Henrietta Von Marzipan storyline. It really dived into Numbah 5's care for other children and willingness to help kids, even if the kids themselves are the villain. Really showing the power of redemption and love. This show was my childhood, man!

      Agreed. In the words of Mr. Warburton, "a thousand times no!" Kids Next Door is for *kids* the first episode is literally about villifying the very concept of an "adult swim." I may be an adult myself, but it was so formative for me while growing up, teaching me that I could stand up for myself when the adults in my life were belittling me, that just because someone is older than you doesn't necessarily make them "right". Kids Next Door should *always* be for kids. Kids *need* the Kids Next Door, in my opinion.

It was like this since I was a kid, so for well, well over a decade. I don’t know why they changed it, and I wish I could have asked them for a copy of one of their old menus because it brings me nostalgia to this day.

It was such an amazing depiction of how we saw the world, from how we saw all kids who were like a year older than us being basically adults, to allways being in a fight with the actual adults. The cherry on top was the weapons and just how over the top it was, I remember even building some of these weapons as I believed they actually would work the same way as depicted.

    There is no better animated series than Codename: Kids Next Door, in my opinion. The message of the whole series is one that nobody ever seems to talk about, nobody seems to remember, and nobody seems to understand. The KND within the context of the show fight against "adult tyranny," right? Well, we know what they fight against, but what do they fight FOR? That's the true message of the show. The KND fights for the preservation of, not only childhood, but the preservation of the inner child. To me, that's a FANTASTIC message, and one that every single person on this planet should take to heart. The epitome of that message is in Operation: ZERO, and is really delved into through the final season. It's something that we all need to remember, especially in times like today. I think Mr. Warburton really wanted this show to be for adults but had to spread his message through us when we were kids. It's really a shame that, while people do remember the show, they also brush it off. Why don't more people see the genius of the show and the truth to the message that we all need to understand??? Folks, we gotta be sure that more people start to remember the Kids Next Door. I don't care if we need to bust out the Recomissioning device to do it, just get more adult eyes back onto it. I'm not going to act like a cartoon is the saving grace for our chaotic world, but it might be inspiration enough to help it find its innocence again. I thank Mr. Wartburton for such a great show, and I'll remember it and its message for the rest of my life.

    I grew up watching and falling in love with this show. I had a huge imagination and this show helped fuel that imagination even more. I rewatched as much as I could with TH-cam and I watched the ending, which before made me think "That's it?", to now me crying from the nostalgia and emotional ending that it was meant to be. I really loved this show along with Flapjack, Chowder, the original Ben 10 and the original Teen Titans. Those shows helped build me into the person I am today and I could not be more thankful for that.

It's a powerful and important message for kids i think.

    I don't wanna see a reboot of KND. But a continuation that takes things in a new direction? Something that could age up the tone just a little bit to fit with what shows can get away with nowadays? That could be really good. The movie has this amazing theme, intentional or not, about generations and abuse. While not directly shown, and I'm sure not done on purpose, the whole movie follows the abuse Zero and Father suffered at the hands of Grandfather. Father never got past that abuse and just wanted the approval of his father, and his brother rebelled and went against his father, overthrowing his reign and starting his own family. But in the end, he refused to keep fighting, to continue in that cycle, by doing the best thing he could to defeat Grandfather. He became a better father. And while the struggles didn't end, the next generation will always clash with the new, his son eventually stopped it all and saved the world. Idk what Galatic Kids Next Door could be exactly, but the creator wants to do it, and that's a lot better than any other reboot or continuation we've seen on the network.

      They should do it from a teens perspective next. By showing how annoying the KND is and every time the little kids are defeated they just whisper to themselves and hide in their “secret club house”.
      Or how tyrannical adults are and every attempt to win freedom is blocked by adults or interfered with by the KND.

  • @ShyDeathKitten666
    @ShyDeathKitten666 3 ปีที่แล้ว +387

    I'll tell you exactly why the Galactic Kids Next Door wasn't greenlit.
    It was an action show.
    Since KND ended and the new era of CN started, action became less and less of a focus for them.
    With the "success" of trash like Teen Titans GO, CN could put out low effort and cheap content that sold easy merchandise.
    Action Cartoons just sadly don't "turn a buck" for the investors anymore, hence why you only see Action Cartoons on streaming services; Anime is the only real "action" you see on CN anymore on Toonami.
    Most of the newer CN shows are all just trying to copy Teen Titans GO, because it'll mean the newer shows can last longer and make more money via mech.
    I don't think CN is ever going to pick up GKND, but with streaming services like HBO, maybe it could find life over there.
    If Adventure Time is getting a sequel series on HBO, then I'm sure that'd be a perfect fit for GKND.

    • @camer4459
      @camer4459 3 ปีที่แล้ว +35

      I 100% agree, maybe even adultswim could pick it up (as some of the animatics of GKND show the kids swearing, so it might even have a more adult theme to it). I just hope it gets a chance somewhere someday; the concept is so intriguing and had so much support from all the fans. If Samari Jack can get an ending after 13 years, then maybe there's still hope for it, if there's enough interest for it.

    One thing I found interesting was how none of the operatives' parents were villains. The only real parents of an operative who were villains that I can actually think of are 274's (who would be Chad after the Season 2 finale), and Mr. Boss (86's father). Both times the parents were shown to care deeply about their children (such as Chad's parents only wanting what's best for him, and Mr. Boss kept it secret from her) It just seemed like a nice touch to show that the parents actually cared about their children.

    tbh I would actually like to see galactic: KND to air on adult swim or something, giving the creator possibly more thinking space and broader ideas to use and to touch on that otherwise CN would never let fly because they would rather make PG reboots. They could take the samurai Jack route and being more toned up to an older audience since you know, the main characters from KND would eventually grow up, possibly shown to be tweens or even teens and so on and how the G:KND teaser we have gotten gave us info of how the story would’ve been headed, with the whole G:KND essentially declaring war on the KND on earth and how this could affect the characters and drive the story.
    But then again I would understand the original creator, writers, voice actors ect. would rather move on from KND and just now want to work on G:KND.
    codename: KND will always be a classic and a great cartoon for many.
