I’ll admit as a kid I never watched Phantom 2040 mostly due to his boring purple outfit. If he had a cooler costume I probably would’ve watched it because otherwise it’s crime fighting in a cyberpunk city, which I’m a fan of.

So have any of you watched it? Is it any good? I worry that being a saturday morning cartoon from the 90s means it’ll just be basic childish plots resolved within 20 minutes. I mean, Spider-Man Unlimited has Spider-Man getting trapped in a cyberpunk city of human/animal hybrids with a spider-suit made of nanomachines and yet the execution was mostly boring. So I expect Phantom 2040 probably isn’t worth watching.

Here’s the intro. I happened to notice the show because the entire series is currently streaming on Amazon Prime, YouTube, Roku, and Pluto. And there’s also a SNES game which I’ve heard good things about.

    Well that’s a weird coincidence, I just made a vague reference to this show to confuse a bunch of Zoomers in Discord since they weren’t alive yet. I remember the intro more than anything.
