WAIT... Remember Generator Rex?

Generator Rex steps up what an action cartoon can be during the major shifting of focus for Cartoon Network. With the on going success of Ben 10, can the same creators strike gold twice? Today, we take a look at Generator Rex to see what the show was all about, what happened to it and why I enjoyed it so much!

Thanks so much for watching! Were you a fan of Generator Rex? Do you think it can make a comeback?

[DonniedrakoE]

Generator Rex is one of those shows where you do desperately wish there was more of, only yo realize it ended as perfectly as it could. It probably will always be underrated but never outclassed.

I remember being such a huge fan of this show as an child although I don’t remember many episodes from It. The only one I remember perfectly was the crossover with Ben 10.

[YungandRekless]

Such an underrated show that NOBODY ever talks about or remembers. The art direction was waaay better than Ben 10: Alien Force/Ultimate Alien which was airing at the time

[senorlechuga]

For a kids show this was quite intense, and I gotta say I really miss darker cartoons like this one

[Stelassin]

If this show came out today with more darker/adult tones, it would definitely be up there with the likes of Invincible. The whole nanite concept is super interesting

[kuroazrem]

I actually never thought the show was cancelled given the fact the ending seemed proper to me. The only dissapointing thing was not seeing Circe and Rex getting together.

Generator Rex is definitely one of CN's Most Underrated Shows hands down and it'sa shame they didn't treat it well . It's on of Man of Action's Best Work since OG Ben 10.

[revinevan]

This show had everything: An interesting plot, Great characters, Intense action, Kick-Ass Theme song, and ended in a pretty much perfect way. I will never understand why no one talks about it much. (Outside of maybe the Heroes United crossover)

I used to LOVE Generator Rex growing up! It reminded me of Ben 10 and Teen Titans. It had a spookiness to it that really drew me in as a kid :)

[bipolarbear]

I think it being cancelled when it was, is a blessing in disguise. I like that it was a definitive ending.

[Animeologists]

This show was a large chunk of my childhood, damn thanks for unlocking that memory for me

[musikalora]

Gen Rex's pilot episode is one of the best I've ever seen in a cartoon show. The premise and the characters will get you hooked right off the bat. I hope this show makes a comeback. Generator Rex is so underrated!

[filipvadas]

If I remember correctly, one of the major problems with this show for Cartoon Network was the lack of potential variety in the merch for kids, so the show was infinately less profitable for them in comparison to the likes of Ben 10 which was, and still is to an extent, a merch printing machine

Still, credit where its due to CN for at least letting the show end on its own terms instead of cancelling it on a cliffhanger or in the middle of a major story arc

Kid me: Wow this show is awesome!
Adult me: Wow this show is awesome!

This is hands down one of the most underrated shows ever. If it was released in today's day and age on like Adult Swim or Amazon Prime without limitations it would be hella successful.

I'm so glad to have grown in an era where Cartoon Network was badass/awesome. The home of the best shows. Samurai Jack, Ben 10, Generator Rex, Teen Titans, Symbionic Titan, Megas XLR, Secret Saturdays...all simply awesome

[TheRealLastJedi]

Love how animations like this were so good like it truly made watching them something special where as today the drawings of most shows just looks so lazy

[dracul]

"The names Rex, now thrill me."
That line has stuck with me for years! This is one of my all time favorites and it sucks that they cut it when they did

[Jonathan_McConnell]

This show was so funny, but actually very deep when talking about the question “who is family?” Very thought provoking.

[haruhirogrimgar]

Generator Rex sits in a similar spot of Invincible to me. A comic adaptation set in its own continuity with its own heroes, villains, & settings. And both absolutely rocked because of it and the improvements made during the adaptation stages.


I hope we continue to get more stories and shows like them.

[lonewalker]

This was honestly that one show for me which I had no interest in at first but after going for a few episodes, it legt... kinda grew on me. Was hooked forever since and have never forgotten of it's existence. Always appreciate covers over this amazing gem of a show!
