Its 4am this is my mental illness I can talk about whatever I want but i want to talk about him hhh I think what really irks me the most about Reboot Utonium is the fact that he wasn't able to be stern and firm to his kids and actually I kinda see like he's afraid of them?

I probably talked about this before but I noticed and have a feeling that Reboot Prof probably feared his kids. Listen, I have no doubt that both version loves his kids very much, and I'm just judging this by unfortunately watching a few reboot episodes, and I just have a feeling that he feared his kids will realise that they have powers over him and they can simply yeet him so he starts to be soft in terms of ruling them around and such. I do not see him being firm and stern yet rational to them, he gave in into whatever they want at times even though they shouldn't be.

OG Prof also never raised his voice to his kids unless it's necessary and he never even dare to touch them because he knows well aggression is not the right way to solve things but seeing Reboot Prof tugging and pulling the girls (ex: in one ep about the evil pillow where Buttercup said he's overreacting and he just tug buttercup and yelled at her face? That's not something OG Prof would do he is still very soft to his kids) lowkey makes me mad at how the reboot bartadized his character.

Honestly Im looking forward for the new reboot with Craig. I just hope they get his character right. As usual, I am biased because he is my fav, I know he is kind of considered to be a supporting character but he's just as important as the girls. and people might think his personality and overall design is simple and basic (black and white palette, square, typical 50s dad personality) but what people don't realize is his own design actually contrasts the girls a lot yet it matches them perfectly. Round kids, Rectangle dad. Colorful clothes, monochrome wardrobe. Curve lines, straight lines, I just love how both designs just clashes but it just makes sense. This is just mwa mwa poetic cinema

As for personality wise, like I said his personality is basic typical 50s dad but i just feel that his character is kinda special in a way because I grew up watching cartoons and from what I can say he is a lot special than other dad characters during the late 90s-early 00s cartoon era because most of the dad characters during that era are either stupid or if they're happen to be geniuses, neglectful and he matches none of it. He is smart yet humble, stern yet kind and he loves and supports his kids very much.

I think that's why I personally don't like his reboot version at all, they turned him into the opposite person of the man I loved.
