Xiaolin Chronicles (2013–2015)
1/10
A Show That Doesn't Need to Exist
16 June 2021
Xiaolin Showdown is one of the greatest shows ever made. It's clever, funny and awesome. When they announced that a continuation was coming, I was excited. Unfortunately, after I saw the five or six episodes, I was so disappointed. The jokes were disgusting, renaming the Shen Gong Wu is as worst as the mispronunciations of Aang and Sokka's name. Thanks a lot, Shyamalan. The voice acting was lacking. Even with the great Tara Strong voicing Omi again wasn't enough to overshadow the new voice cast that didn't honor their successors. Christy Hui created such a legendary show and she dropped the ball with this nonexistent spin off. Ping Pong was a great character but come on. His element is wood? It could have been lightning or something cool. Xiaolin Showdown will always be superior though the series finale was a head scratcher. Instead of having one last epic Xiaolin Showdown, Omi goes back in time to stop Hannibal Bean from turning Chase Young evil. He succeeded but he eventually has to restore the timeline making the whole finale, well, a waste of "time." I don't know if Christy Hui got into a fight with Warner Brothers that led to this spin off but I want to redo the finale of Xiaolin Showdown into a movie and pretend Chronicles doesn't exist. Kinda like when Terminator Dark Fate wanted audiences to forget that Salvation and Genesys. Hopefully, I can save our childhood before its permanent. Overall, don't watch it. It's garbage and an insult to its predecessor.
