So, I've been hearing that Disney XD will be airing a Max Steel reboot series sometime in Spring of this year.

The show sounds beyond awful. Here's the story: "The show follows 16-year-old Maxwell McGrath and his alien "war machine" partner, Steel. Maxwell McGrath learns he has the power to generate "turbo mode," in which he struggles to contain until meeting Steel, an alien war machine. Steel gives Maxwell the ability to harness his power while merging his own to create one unified super force. "

It's just dumb.

I'm not sure if many of you remember the original "Max Steel" series (which ran on Kids' WB for its first two seasons from 2000-2001, then the third aired on Cartoon Network from 2001-2002), but if any of you do, you'll know that the original Max Steel storyline was completely different: The main character was Josh McGrath (not Maxwell McGrath), a 19-year-old sports star, who was accidentally infused with nanotechnology. This, in turn, gave him nanotech-charged powers, thus creating Max Steel.
The original series centered mostly around fighting terrorists and super-enhanced humans; whereas the new series is focused on mutants and monsters.

Max Steel was never the smartest of kids' shows, but now they're just dumbing it way down.

Two years after the series ended, a direct-to-DVD movie was made ("Endangered Species"), which followed the continuity of the TV series. Ever since 2004, direct-to-DVD movies have been released throughout Latin America (with English versions being released online years later), and eventually, the movies changed the Max Steel storyline. They didn't change much, the biggest difference is that Josh McGrath never existed; only Max Steel. Everything else was essentially the same, though, they did start fighting mutants and monsters.
I'm guessing they wanted the new Max Steel series to follow closer to the Max Steel movies, as opposed to the original TV series.

I guess they think that, since Max Steel never really caught on here in the U.S., a reboot wouldn't hurt. I guess they're right, a reboot wouldn't hurt. But why change the storyline, characters, villains, and everything completely? Even the Batman, James Bond, and Spider-Man reboots didn't change things this drastically.

You can probably guess that I'm a fan of the original "Max Steel" series, and I am.
I was a fan when it started, and I still am today. I was looking forward to the reboot, until I read what it was about.
I think it's an awful idea. They should've rebooted Max Steel with the original storyline.

What do you think?
