Jackie Chan Adventures

It's got Jackie Chan. It's got adventures. How is that not the most dignified and awesome of titles?

Well, I see that now, but as a kid I thought it sounded silly...

Hak Foo was good times as well. Those over-the-top move screams. Plus he was voiced by John DiMaggio.

If the show had continued, I would've liked to see what the Enforcers would be doing after their Heel–Face Turn.

I like to think they stayed as far away from anything magic-related as they possibly could. They'd probably had enough of that crap and all it involved. Especially the "stuck working for the bad guy of the season" part

Yeah, that sounds like the most likely scenario. But still, it would've been nice to see the Enforcers befriend their old enemies, Jackie Chan and co.

There was the episode where they join Uncle's shop as workers and are good guys for a while until they can't resist stealing this gigantic opal.

I remember that one

There was also that one time when they tried to act law-abiding for their nephews' sake, but they gave into their thieving impulses again.

Though of course, let's not forget how the Enforcers helped Uncle and Tohru with releasing Shendu to fight Drago. And Hak Foo even joined the rumble himself.

There was an episode on Chinese New Year I missed, blasted luck.

Fortunately, just as I found out Jackie Chan's retired from action films, I found it. It's a great episode.

Now I need to find the episode where Jade travels back and meets younger Uncle and Jackie.

Was that the one with the rabbit talisman or something?

I think it involved the Rabbit Talisman getting zapped by some kind of time machine, sending Jade and others back to 1976.

Yeah, that's the one. Little baby Valmont was in it too.

That reminds me of the episode where Daolon Wong turns Valmont back into a kid.

That was a good one too. Also, Wong was a dick

Yeah. He was especially a dick to Finn, Ratso, Chow, and Hak Foo.

And yet the show put the short end of stick on valmot, seen is badass decay was....sad.

But when it come to villian nothing being Tarakudo

There's a lesson on there somewhere.

Never work for the supernatural forces of darkness?

if you're talking about the Enforcers, wasn't it most of the time they didn't exactly want to be there, it was just they knew bad things would happen if they didn't do what the bad guy said.

I mean, they were criminals and all, but if they'd had the chance they probably would've bailed the minute the dragon statue started talking.

They were pretty cool with working for Shendu the first time around, but then at that point they were being promised mountains of gold.

And then Shendu died and came back and basically went "work for me or you're all charbroiled," and their luck with bosses went downhill from there.

Their willingness and enjoyment for being with the bad guys sort of fluctuated. But, it turned out all right for them in the end.

I loved this show but there was one glaring plot whole I could never really look past: they never even attempted to explain how Shendu managed to escape being sealed. He was very clearly originally sealed along with his siblings, it was made very clear the gates were the only way out, and that his had not been opened turned into a very important plot point.

Guess it depends on whether or not the ghost form is what he was originally.

It wasn't.

Perhaps Shendu got some help from the outside? Like maybe he contacted a wizard on Earth, and asked to free him from the Netherworld.
