YMMV / Rescue Heroes

• Adaptation Displacement: To some degree; some have trouble remembering the show was based on a toyline. Modern children who saw the show on Qubo were likely to be unaware of this as well, since the original line of toys has since been discontinued and merged with Imaginext.
• Anvilicious: The series doesn't even try to hide the fact that it intends to teach viewers how to stay safe in an emergency, though there are a few general life lessons sprinkled in as well. Fans generally tolerate this due to the delivery being more subtle in the bulk of the story while there is a dedicated segment at the end of each episode where the characters directly advise the audience on the earlier situations.
• Awesome Music:
  • From the Licensed Game Hurricane Havoc: Well, there's Jack, Jake Justice, and Wend-y Watt-ers...
  • The Global Response Team-era theme is pretty kickass as well.
• Broken Base: People who like the first season versus people who like the Global Response Team seasons, though almost all agree the latter two seasons are a marked improvement visually from the first season.
• Narm Charm: The fourth wall breaks at the end of each episode may put off most people if in another show, but the cast on Rescue Heroes deliver their lines so earnestly that people find it genuinely engaging.
• Not So Crazy Anymore: "Blackout" has a teenage girl begging her dad to get a cell phone because everyone in her class has one. When this episode first aired in the early 2000s, the idea of a teenager having a cell phone was generally seen as them being spoiled, so the viewer was not meant to sympathize with her. Now that it is uncommon to see a teenager who doesn't have a cell phone, it doesn't work so well and turns into Unintentionally Sympathetic.
• Special Effects Failure: The animation for the movie has not aged well. The 3D animation makes the humans look almost as plastic as their toys.
• What Do You Mean, It's for Kids?: This show promoted a toyline marketed at preschoolers, yet seemed to forget which target audience it was made for. A lot of the natural disasters and rescue operations are taken very seriously and many times the situations featured were very mature in tone. Even if things never got too dark and no one dies on any emergency, this show makes it clear disasters are nothing to take lightly. And we shouldn't get started on the Global Response Team era... (which by the by, was shown on Kids' WB!)
