Watch Susie become even more of a bland cardboard cutout.
The 2020 Rugrats reboot stars Susie as the new main character, who gets in trouble when Angelica has an evil white corporation steal her 1st grade science fair project that just happened to be the cure for cancer! Now Tommy and the gang must fight white, cishet capitalism with his lovable friends Chuckie, Jill, and Lil! (Note: Phil has been retconned to be a transgender girl, Jill, after he accidentally wore Lil's dress and liked it)

....All before bedtime!

I literally cannot imagine a Rugrats without the awful, disgusting animation style of Klasky-Csupo. It just can't be done for me.
Look, it was kinda enjoyable as a kid, but it was far too odd to be airing in the current enviornment. This is going to suck a thousand baby dicks, and I will try to ignore it as much as possible.

Rugrats felt very precarious as-is, even for a 90's cartoon where pretty much anything goes. I always felt a little wrong watching babies shove things into their diapers, even as a child myself. The writing and humor were great, but the premise was very off. I absolutely cannot imagine it working outside of it's original run. If I were employed at Nick I'd run screaming from the project because I know I'd be called a pedophile from even being a lowly grunt on the project. It really was a product of it's time and it should stay that way, for many, many reasons.

Rugrats was one of the most over-rated Nickelodeon show of all time. That and Hey Arnold.

First off, how dare you say that about Hey Arnold.

Anyway, the early seasons of Rugrats were okay. It was one of the shows I looked forward to as a kid although I don't know if it's held up over the years. The show started going downhill when they added Dill. Susie was actually alright even though she was just a token black character added even earlier to boost ratings. She probably worked out better than Dill because she was a good foil for Angelica, whereas Dill was just a drooling idiot newborn. Then they gave Chuckie an Asian step-sister and the show basically died.

Come to think of it Rugrats had a lot of diversity for a 90s cartoon. Tommy was half-Jewish and Phil and Lil's mom was clearly a closeted lesbian.

I'm pretty sure Rugrats is responsible for 90% of diaper fetishists in the same way Disney's Robin Hood is responsible for 90% of furries.

Rugrats was good before the extra characters were added in. The 90's cartoons were their best material. Including that and their sitcoms. Rugrats was one of the cartoons that I honestly looked forward to watching. It went to shit once The Angry Beavers came in. Rocko's Modern Life was their best show though.
I even liked the special they did where they went to the future and they were older. (The movie, not the show.)
And the voice of Chuckie died so what's the point of this?

Pleace your bets: will the live action movie go the "live-action grown-ups, CGI babies" route or the "live action babies but their mouths move when they talk" route?

Personally I'm hoping for the former because that would be horrifying whereas the latter would just be another baby geniuses.

All the babies are played by Jason Alexander wearing a diaper.

If they're planning on rebooting/restarting anything made by Gabor Csupo, I'd prefer Duckman with the original cast.
Fuck that, Duckman either wouldn't make it through development in [Current year] or would be so neutered it may as well be another property all together.

I'm going real babies, but with 'Alita battle angel' style animation overlaid on their heads for some real horror.
