Top 10 Unnecessary TV Character Redesigns


these changes made the show worth
forgetting welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top ten unnecessary animated TV
character redesigns before we begin we
publish new content every day so be sure
to subscribe to our Channel and ring the
bell to get notified about our latest
videos while character redesigns can be
a welcome addition when necessary or
when done tastefully these shows came
across as an insult to fans of the
source material or the shows that came
before them number 10 Looney Tunes
loonatics unleashed
so one what’s up that not every Saturday
morning cartoon needs an edgy
gritty reboot Warner Brothers
the Looney Tunes of super-heroes sounds
okay on paper but it’s hardly a new
concept in the old cartoons bugs had
become super rabbit and Daffy Duck had
his duck Dodgers alter-ego with porky as
the eager young space cadet
what’s up knock this was just a sad
attempt at being an equivalent to Power
Rangers considering the number of
gadgets introduced every episode it
feels like pandering to kids just to
earn a toy line kudos to them for the
more creative and lighthearted second
season but the show still sucks though
not half as much as those character
designs you go bunny kick some Martian
butt number 9 Bob the Builder
Bob the Builder children’s cartoons of
this caliber don’t typically go through
significant changes because when you
mess with something like Bob the Builder
you’re making a big mistake Bob’s design
had the charm and personality that would
make any kid immediately recognize his
face Todd we proved it yes the new Bob
is so blind looking you can mistake him
for a background character if it weren’t
for the B on his helmet he doesn’t even
look as kid-friendly as the first Bob
and as you’d expect fans and critics did
not take this lightly and condemned the
show for its drastic changes can we fix
it maybe not what could possibly go
wrong number eight the entire cast
captain n the game master Simon you’ve
been our anchor in a long and terrible
storm I know you ever watch a cartoon
and find yourself saying that’s not what
they look like
trust us we were repeating those words
throughout captain n where to begin well
mother brain is not a goofy alien with
mascara and lipstick King Hippo is not
blue Simon Belmont is not a blond brawny
douchebag and last we checked the blue
bomber was you know blue I’ve still got
to rescue the princess speaking of
Arrakis look things got worse when the
show experienced licensing issues and
suffered a deep budget cut in season
three causing the characters to look
even more basic and dull oh the
complications of video game based
cartoons we’ve got to do this as a team
remember
a team of course number seven tom 4.0
Toonami show time hey it may not be a
show like the others on here but Toonami
is a special case because it’s awesome
you guys ready to make the magic happen
what’s not awesome though was the
awkward phase Tom went through before
the block went dark not only did the
block go through change by broadcasting
more kid-friendly shows but Tom changed
from a badass robot to looking more like
three two was this the sole cause for
two nominees low ratings maybe maybe not
but the lane changes we’re the last we
would see of Toonami until its reboot in
2012 it’s so nice to have the old Tom
back and he looks cooler than ever until
we meet again number six the entire cast
team Titans go I’m John him as Doug and
me as a robot there isn’t enough time to
talk about everything wrong with this
show from the random dancing the bland
rioting and loud noises but the obvious
crime here is the characters basic
appearances and lack of detail don’t
even get us started on the lack of any
character development or compelling
stories when the original Teen Titans
was on you could expect a relatable
story’s intense action drama and comedy
each Titan had problems and you wanted
to see them overcome them there was
something real something personal these
Titans are absent of all of that in
exchange for memes trends and utter
stupidity
when I say yummy you say pass get me get
me number 5 the entire cast Ben 10
omniverse I told you we’ve spent years
saving the world I just want to see some
of what I’ve been saving the Ben 10
series that came before this one managed
to keep a good balance between
simplicity and detailed characters
omniverse dumbs down more of the
animation and makes them look like they
came out of a scooby-doo special I’m
trying to get the hang of my powers
grandpa I don’t have time for
fly-fishing like what the hell is going
on with Gwen why does Ben have mini
muscles and is that really Kevin Levin
or one of the members of gorillas the
first Ben 10 was fine the way it was and
the constant redesigns only give us the
grounds and little else number for the
what sort of Cybertron hell have we
stepped into we know what the maximals
look like and those those are not the
maximals my trap is not a wagon it
wasn’t enough to make this entire show
look like a robot nightmare but all of
the maximals look like a new five nights
why not just go with the classic designs
they’re so awesome on their own and
these just have this creepy uncanny and
look to them any other transformer
series has better designs than this and
that’s including the Michael Bay film
franchise number three Porky Pig new
Looney Tunes you either don’t like
delivering babies there’s nothing more
wonderful in the world as we learned
from loonatics unleashed the Looney
Tunes never or rarely need a redesign be
a dear and uh a please pass me the
ketchup we’ll give the show credit in
not completely changing bugs appearance
but when we got sight of porky things
took a turn for the worst
this place doesn’t stay for a little one
just because he’s a pig doesn’t mean you
have to make him morbidly obese and
since when did he start wearing a
necktie the old porky was bubbly and
charming in his blue coat and red bowtie
if anything it made him one of the
cutest Looney Tunes why this dumb dizzy
and simplistic change was so important
we may never know my mind is already
damaged number two the choker the new
Batman adventures
so I wisely stocked up on potty phases
look we’re not saying this is the worst
Joker of all the Batman shows although
bats himself doesn’t come out much
what makes fans feel so much contempt
against these designs is because of the
ones that came before them in Batman the
animated series the Joker was much more
detailed with his blood-red smile and
vibrant colors the Joker in the new
adventures just felt cheap with his
outfit primarily being a solid purple
and a small touch of green you always a
tiny bit of inheritance tax and where’s
the creepy smile this Joker just debuted
in the wrong place at the wrong time
didn’t fifty million dollars before we
get to our atrocious top pick here are a
few dishonorable mentions number one he
men the New Adventures of Heymann I just
want to help fight the mutants Kaz
sneaking on the ship isn’t the way to
help out where’s the power of Grayskull
in this guy he-man is recognizable for
the barbarian armor luscious blonde hair
[Applause]
oh and we can’t forget those sweet
massive muscles so what do we get with
the New Adventures of he-man he’s
trimmed down where his pants has a
ponytail and turned into a lame living
action figure either that or GI Joe
huh even the power sword looks stupid
well hopefully his adversaries are still
just as menacing wait why does Skeletor
have eyeballs how does that work now
what can I do to make up for this
misunderstanding do you agree with our
pigs check out these other great clips
