Now I'll teach you about a harsh reality about reboots from the Inspector Gadget school of cartoons.

Inspector Gadget is an 80s cartoon co-produced by the States, Canada and France about a bumbling cyborg police officer with an endless supply of gadgets, paying homage to the Pink Panther's Inspector Clouseau in terms of character. With Gadget's niece Penny and her dog Brain, the trio attempt to stop the nefarious villain and head of MAD, Dr Claw, who on the scale of villains comes between Dreamstone's Zordrak and He-Man's Skeletor in terms of level of intimidation and competence, mainly for being unseen to the viewer and having a dark grizzly voice much like a long term smoker.
Inspector Gadget is formulaic to the point where you can explain any episode using this synopsis.
1. The Episode starts with something normal, usually Gadget spending time with Penny and Brain.
2. Chief Quimby then informs Gadget about a mission usually appearing out of nowhere.
3. The mission then explodes in Quimby's face regardless if he tries to avoid it or not.
4. Gadget goes on the mission but usually ends up mistaking MAD Agents for friendly locals.
5. Penny is solving the case behind Gadget's back while Brain watches over Gadget so he doesn't kill himself but Brain seems to take all the slapstick.
6. The case is solved usually by Gadget's dumb luck.
7. Dr Claw curses Gadget.
That pretty much sums up all 86 episodes with very little variation. But despite being this formulaic it still maintained a level of unpredictability in how the case was solved much like how in Scooby Doo it's never the one with the most obvious motive, and that charm made it well loved in it's era but I can't say much for the sequels.
Gadget Boy & the Gadgetinis need their own pages and don't get me started on the live action films so lets come to 2015 and look at the reboot.
While it keeps the formula intact there are some problems; Penny is now a teenager but her character feels dumber as a result, Dr Claw remains unseen but his level of competency is now the same as Dr Eggman; it's in CGI or the franchise killer as I call it and finally the new character Talon is annoying.
All I can say to the modern one is this. You had one job, the formula was easy to remember and you still messed up, there's no reason for Talon to exist nor should the focus be entirely on his personal battle with Penny which goes nowhere, but I digress, I can't expect the values of today replicating what was good 30 years ago and if it wasn't a reboot it would be okay but since it is a reboot it can only be judged as one.
But like the sad treatment done to Knuckles the Echidna, I can't forgive them for *Cringe* modernizing the theme music and *nearly vomits* changing the Gadget car. That felt dirty to say.
So overall the original Inspector Gadget is charming despite being formulaic but the reboot took said formula and misread the recipe and created something which is okay but mediocre compared to it's original counterpart.
