>>444Sorry if I replied so late, but I agree with your statements. But I will form a quick counterargument that some people would make about your opinion on the backgrounds of the reboot.
Many would probably say that having high quality backgrounds won't matter because of how fast the reboot's pace is. On top of that, some people may say that you're nitpicking every last detail of the original so you can give it a much lower rating.
Now I don't really believe in that counterargument but I decided to write it out for you so can debate it.
As for standalone viewing I can agree that this episode is not very good.
I also did rewatch the original's first episode just for reference and I can see how it does things way better the reboot. Like it being actually funny (mostly part 2 of the episode).
Overall thou I can understand your arguments on why my ratings for the original are null. I just wanted to give the reboot a shot.
