Jackie Chan Adventures

And animated things follow the Buzz Lightyear rule of believing they’re the real thing, which makes some of them unpredictable and more dangerous.

Plus they tend to have the abilities of what they’re model after, meaning even a children’s toy can be super powered.

So if someone carved a statue of Shendu and used the rat to bring it to life, would it have all of Shendu’s powers?

I’ve thought about it before and think it would depend either on person creating it or what counts as Shendu’s powers.

The Rat Talisman is the biggest Imagination-Based Superpower in the show, not as flashy as rabbit, ox or pig but definitely unpredictable. I don't recall Shendu demonstrating the power independent of the talismans, but as said any figure brought to life comes with their assumed powers. Imagine one of the full scale Transformer statues made for the movies.

There is a life size Gundam somewhere.

...wait, is this back, or are we just doing nostalgia? If the latter, hahaha, if the former, send me a link.

The latter.

I mean, I think most people agree that his Hong Kong work is better.

The problem of course is that the talisman doesn't confer control over what you bring to life with it.

RIP Julian Sands. Aka the original Valmont.

I will said the show capture chan as it peak pretty well, if you want to see how many saw jackie chan this series pretty much help.

I just heard about this. It's sad to hear. My condolences to his family.

Sands certainly fit a Valmont at the top of his game in the first few seasons, before involvement with magic reduced him to a shadow of his former self.

RIP.

Sands wound up working with Jackie for real on The Medallion shortly after his stint in JCA was up.

It’s shocking how he went missing in January and wasn’t found at all until now.

He was apparently a very good mountaineer who probably knew a lot of wilderness survival skills, maybe that's why they didn't want to officially declare his death until they were 100% sure?

I think that was just a formality. His family had already accepted he was gone after two weeks. Logically there’s only so long someone can last without food and water.

Wouldn't an experienced mountaineer know where to get that if he were lost in the mountains, though? That sort of thing is what I was getting at there.

Maybe but those can be traced, meaning if he had been gathering food and going to water sources at length he would’ve been found a lot sooner.

Point.

RIP, loved his performance.

Is there a way to watch the show legally? Is it not up on streaming?

I saw a Facebook memory that I’d been watching it on Netflix—ten years ago.

A quick search indicates Prime Video. I don’t have that.

Remember that time Ash Ketchum captured Jackie Chan in a Kids WB promo?
