Showdown Chase Vs Chronicles Chase

Hey all,

I am Halie, I am a huge fan of Xiaolin Showdown. My favorite character being Chase Young from the show. They now have Xiaolin Chronicles out which is a continuation of Showdown. However like other fans I have questions and even issues with the new series.

Chase Young. I accept his design had to be changed physically. but did they have to alter him mentally too? 

He oringally was a cocky, egotistical, honor-bound, elegant bad guy. When he was relaxing he could be seen in his awesome home inside the creepy mountain. He was a loner feeling that no one could be as good as him. He looked down at all. He had his eyes on Omi as he felt he was a threat and a threat as an ally instead of a foe is always a better idea. He seems to have a love of manipulating people and easily could pull off a dark prince role. This is how he is in showdown

He was reborn again in Chronicles. He still is cocky and egotistical, but he seems to have lost his honor-bound and elegant nature. He now is vain, focus on his looks, and a bit creepy with his interactions with Shadow, which she herself is creepy. He does odd things like diving his head into a bowl of water which he was watching others with still laughing or explains how much he loves how the robot altered his soup's taste. While I can see he still is a loner, he now has an offspring, Shadow, though the way they interact looks more like lovers than father and daughter.  His home now looks like a dreary cave with no effort to have the finer things in life like Chase was known for. Chase seems more like a wild animal in this new form than before.

Truth be told I totally dislike Shadow. I could see Chase having an offspring, but Shadow is not what I pictured for his offspring. And the fact he reproduced Asexually is kinda freaky.

Now I still love Chase Young in Xiaolin be it Showdown or Chronicles. I wish in the future they have Chase acting less creepy with Shadow, and be more of a father figure not like a lover type. (seriously before they showed that she is an incarnation of Chase's I thought she was a love interest for him) And I also wish that Chase would walk upstairs and show his place is as elegant as before and he does like the finer things in life and that he just has a downstairs that he uses for things like taking over the world stuff.


Not sure if anyone agrees with me. But please let me know. :D

  3. Chase to create Shadow but that's not his daughter, for it against a child in episode 19 season 1 of Xiaolin Chronicles

    1. to create another living being it to become it's parent. As for her hatred of the egg one could think either extreme sibling rivalry or she doesn't like it's effect on Chase and wants him to return to his senses Or she really wants to be taken serious.
