    Back in 1994 when K-Mart was going out of business, they had huge sales on Toys. Exo Squad toys were really cheap. My mom normally couldn't afford anything being a single mom but that Christmas she had bought almost ALL of the Exo Squad toys. I played with those things for years! Such a fun memory.

      Having watched "Robotech" in the mid 80's I was used to lead characters dying, especially the last two chapters of the main saga. Exotic Squad was way ahead of its time in terms of subject matter. I think this show could've lasted longer had it not been designed to a push a toy line. This cartoon would do quite well today on a streaming platform.

    I used to record ExoSquad when it got moved to the super early slot. Then when it got moved back to the later time around 11 I was able to watch it. The later part of the show was getting really interesting right before it got cancelled. The pirates and exo squad trying to work together. And Phaeton turning into a puddle. Good stuff.

    *EXO-SQUAD* was a really good show. I hated that like many of my favorites over the years, it ended just as it revealed a twist, apparently Alien Invaders, a third faction, came into the fray. An opponent that would have become important in a Third Season that didn't come to pass. Years later, at least I got to see a more complete tale told in *FALLING SKIES,* which _'borrowed'_ certain elements from *EXO-SQUAD's* storytelling for it's live action terrestrial warfare.

    One of my favorite 90's cartoons.. Great stuff, 2 Seasons of epicness.. The animation style and pacing very much reminded me of X-men, and it had the same serious undertones and had a sci-fi war setting that just worked. Great intro theme and enough entertainment for wanting to view it all over again.

  • @sethraelthebard5459
    @sethraelthebard5459 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Exo-Squad was basically World War II in space. A great many of the battles, operations, and instances had real-life parallels to the second world war, including the reasons for the conflict, the characters, and the story arcs. Among them are the initial invasion of the Neo-Sapien, which mirrored the Nazi invasion of Poland in 1939, the initial disastrous counterattack by the Exofleet which represented the Battle of Dunkirk. The numerous covert operations between the Exofleet and the Earth Resistance which mimicked the French Resistance and their underground war. The battle near the end of the series where General Shiva managed to retake Venus which was a parallel to the Battle of the Bulge.
    Of course, numerous characters also had real-life counterparts. Phaeton was of course a representation of Adolf Hitler, whose idea of a Master race with him as ultimate ruler eventually led to his downfall. The collaborators of Earth's government were comparable to the Vichy government of France. General Winfield could be compared to Eisenhower, with Jonas Simbacca as his abrasive counterpart of MacArthur. J.T. Marsh could be compared to Jimmy Dolittle and his crack team of raiding pilots. There are many other examples. Exo-Squad was as much historical fiction and drama as it was a "kids" tv show. It is a crying shame this show doesn't get more recognition. It would be awesome if Exo-Squad could get a modern revival.

    This was my favorite cartoon growing up, due to its fairly serious space-opera subject matter and serialized story. That said, I'm not sure I actually recommend newcomers watch it since there are just better serious animated shows out there nowadays (things like GITS:Standalone Complex or Gundam SEED). In particular, ExoSquad's writing was pretty mediocre in places (the overall stories and arcs were great, but derpy kids stuff like the fat guy always burping felt out of place), and the art style suffered a bit due to having been designed as toys. Still, it really was the best of its era, edging out X-Men, and Batman The Animated Series (which themselves were a step up over 80s stuff like Transformers/GI Joe).

You know Phaeton was just as genocidal towards humanity like Demona was from Gargoyles. Exo Squad was also part of The Universal Action Hour with Monster Force during the 1994-95 season and in the 1995-96 season was part of The USA Action Extreme Team with Wild C.A.T.S, Savage Dragon, and Street Fighter. Do you think that you can also do Monster Force which was a forgotten gem that was Universal's early attempt to bring their monsters together before The Dark Universe?

Think of the success of of programmes like Babylon 5, Battle Star Galactica (2003) and of course The Expanse. But it's gotta be a well planed out story and well written. Babylon 5's entire five seasons were written an d planned out before production took place (If memory serves me correct). The Expanse is based of a series of successful books. Battlestar Galactica 2003 series had a great story overall but sometimes some episodes felt like hit and miss.

    Before anime replaced most my interest in American made toons (kid of the 80s), this was one of the more maturely written kids shows which dealt with grown up stuff like war and death. Not everyone lives to the end which was a shocker as only shows like Robotech touched on that subject matter. Funny enough their was an attempt to combine the franchises. I still have a few toys from that campaign though I never bought the exo squad stuff I did grab all the robotech relabels.

    This show was never aired where I lived. Target had the toys, and I bought them because I liked Mechs and stuff like that, but I didn't have any clue what the story was actually about.

    This series' is a real gem, I'm not the right age group to have seen it on tele but I just love the adult nature of the dialogue and it's overall style combine to make it pretty unique amongst the many more predictable offerings within this genre.
    I'm definitely a fanboy for this one.

    Thought this shoe was boring as a kid. I got older and rewatched it found it this show was deep. They should remake it.

    I used to watch this right after school and during summer it aired right after “Ronin Warriors”!

    The toys for this series were amazing, never even got to see the show. We bought them just because they were so cool, but I don't think the show was on in my area

    Exosquad is not a cartoon it’s animated series
