Been rewatching Code Lyoko, again

[waystobuild-blog]

Taelia: So... Patrick, how did your talk with Jeremie go? Patrick: Badly. He wants to copyright the name. Sissi: Well Franz said that we're the Lyoko Warriors now, so he can get over himself. Nicholas: Well what if we called ourselves Lyoko Warriorz with a z? Herb: Idiot.

I forgot about context in my previous ask. The newest chapter of the a Code Lyoko fangame came out that had a dream/alternate timeline where the team was Herb, Sissi, Odd, Nicholas and Ulrich and I thought about your CL power swap idea.

I would like to inform you that Sissi gets virtualized and her avatar looks like this.

She uses Chakrams as weapons.

Oh she looks dope!

Who's your favorite underrated code lyoko character and why is it Sissi

Actually, hilariously, I just wind up pitying Sissi more than anything, which is not what you want for your mean girl archetype. Meanwhile, Herb and Nicholas are so weird and ineffectual I can't help but find them endearing.

Still rewatching Code Lyoko, I'm on episode 19 now!

Some things I'm remembering or just realizing that I wanted to share:

Yumi had a little brother right? I've yet to see him shown or mentioned. Suspicious.

(I am falling asleep late at night while rewatching tho...)

The returns to the past make XANA more powerful (but they don't know that yet) and they actually had a few they didn't need to time travel for in my opinion so they just enjoy the benefits of time traveling and gaining a days worth of future knowledge right? Makes that episode I remember of them getting mad at Ulrich for using it to win the lottery to help Yumi's family even weirder to me. Part of the reason they got upset was that it was "cheating" even tho no one supposedly won if Ulrich didn't do that....but knowing the answers to an exam, pop quiz, homework, getting one over on another person they wouldn't have been able to before, etc. they don't blink an eye at that kind of more apparent cheating. But winning cash money was a problem?

Could just be Dumb Kid Syndrome 🙄

That girl, Taelia/Talia, Jeremie was convinced was Aelita with amnesia was a missed opportunity for later episodes when Aelita does appear. How interesting would it have been if this snarky lookalike and apparent orphan started drama because she wanted to believe she and Aelita were related, likely twins, due to similar appearances and coloring. But instead she's never seen or heard from again after her 1st appearance. Why? It's not like she left after a day. And Wiki fandom says she's never spotted or mentioned again.

Theo the new guy gets reappearances but is never important. And Odd had to uselessly ruin Sissi's chance at happiness with notUlrich who was just as cute just because he wanted to avoid Theo and Herb having a rivalry over Sissi? Ridiculous. He doesn't actually give a shit about Herb and he could easily find a different way to help Theo if he really didn't want to stay up late to scare Herb away from tattling to Jim again.

It's a shame he never regains interest in Sissi after that from what we're shown thanks to Odd. Theo/Sissi could've been so cute! And got Sissi to stop obsessing on Ulrich.

Jeremie...is wrong alot for being the group Einstein. He also might lowkey be a sociopath or something the way that the wellbeing of others, friends included, seems to always be secondary to his obsession over Aelita.

The background characters be looking like they up to interesting things sometimes.

Like these guys:

Not sure if she's into it or not but he's certainly doing his best to make her heart go dokidoki 💓😆 lmao

Lil bro over there like:

Rewatching shows can be so fun. Like Code Lyoko!

Very 1st episode of season 1 and Sissi just...awoke and chose violence for real. Like I remembered the scene but it's just...😂 I know Sissi could be bitchy, she was typical arrogant mean girl for awhile...but they had her very 1st scene and appearance be her just straight up going ham on that one red headed little girl reporter for the school.

FOR NO REASON.

She really said her name is now Sissi the Bitchy McBitchenstein Esquire the 3rd. 🤣

She didn't have to make that little girl cry. But she did. She didn't have to insult her 25 times in a single conversation. But she wanted too.

She wasn't sorry about it either. And she'd do it again.

Sissi was straight up wildin right out the gate on this show.

Crazy.

A challenge given to me as a request. It was fun to do! Credit to Epsilon on Discord for an awesome idea on his take of possessed Herb that I got to draw ^^

Herve VS Jeremie in The Robots

I don't see anybody pointing out the parallels between Herve and Jeremie in "The Robots". Which is interesting, because a few clear contrasts are drawn between the two, and a couple of them are actually a bit sad.

We start the episode in Mrs. Hertz's class, where her lecture about titanium leads to her reminding everyone about the robot competition after school. When Ulrich and Odd ask Jeremie if he's finished his model, they get a smile and a thumbs up in return. When Sissi asks Herve the same question, he confirms and invites her to see his "masterpiece" once classes are finished. He sounds supremely confident. Jeremie seems to treat this as a fun hobby (since we know he's already got his hands full with XANA), while Herve (as we know) has built his model specifically to make Jeremie's lose.

Now for the unveilings, both of which take place in the geniuses' dorm rooms: -When Herve introduces Iron Sissi to human Sissi and Nicolas, we don't really get to see Nicolas's reaction, but Sissi immediately takes a hatred to it, demanding to know why Herve modeled "that horror" after her. Kinda sad, actually, knowing that the person you modeled your robot after despises it. When attempting to control Iron Sissi, Herve seems to have trouble, as he struggles to get a good handle on the controls and accidentally makes it take a swipe at Sissi. Once he gets it under control, Herve tries to reassure them (and himself) that everything will be fine, prompting Sissi to remind him that Jeremie always wins. She then threatens to kick Herve and Nicolas out of her gang if Herve doesn't win the contest, before leaving, slamming the door on her way out. (Now, that's not fair on Nicolas. What did he do?) -In contrast, when Jeremie unveils Kiwi 2, we get a much calmer scene. Again, the one the robot is modeled after (Kiwi) doesn't really take kindly to it, though it can be attributed to the dog being freaked out at the other him (which is true to real life). But the others love it, and Aelita finds it cute. When controlling Kiwi 2, Jeremie isn't struggling at all. He seems to be a master at this. He even executes a joke on Odd that also playfully pokes fun at Kiwi, something a friend would do. Unlike Herve, Jeremie doesn't try to reassure anyone that everything will be fine; his attitude does that for him, as we (the audience) come to realize that Jeremie probably always wins because he's just better at all this than Herve is. And unlike Sissi's ultimatum, Aelita just hopes XANA gives Jeremie enough time to win the contest, and Yumi softly closes the door behind her.

At the competition (the grand finale), Jim announces the two contestants, Iron Sissi and Kiwi 2. When the two have to shake hands, Jeremie's smile indicates that if he loses, he won't hold it against Herve at all. Again, it's clear he only does this because it's his hobby (either that, or he's oblivious). On the other hand, Herve is very reluctant. It's clear he's jealous of Jeremie for always winning. But the two do shake hands.

During the game, the two robots are actually equally competent. However, when Jim announces half-time, Herve walks off the stage by himself, while Jeremie is joined by Ulrich and Odd, who congratulate him on a job well done so far.

When it comes to the game ball, it seems Jeremie is going to win again, as Kiwi 2 snatches the ball first, but then we see Herve pressing a button on his control panel as he gives an evil-ish laugh, which makes Kiwi 2 explode. Jeremie is in shock, and Sissi cheers, as Herve steals the final point, not at all caring about the fact that what he just did is considered cheating.

However, his victory feels very hollow, and not in a "cheaters never prosper" philosophical kind of way. No one really cheers for Herve when he wins. Throughout the entire match, the audience only ever cheers for Jeremie and Kiwi 2, and Jim never officially announces Herve as the winner. Jim only announces the contest as over, before reminding some of his students that their gym class starts in five minutes.

Going further, Herve only ever cared about winning, no matter what it took, because if he won, he'd stay close to Sissi. But afterwards, Jeremie admits that he only cares about understanding why his robot suddenly blew up the way it did. He seems sad, yes, but mainly confused. He only confronts Herve when Milly and Tamiya reveal that Herve cheated.

A side note: Herve has to be blackmailed into helping Ulrich and Yumi dismantle XANA's robot, and the scene shows that Herve does care about the fact that he cheated, because he doesn't want Sissi to know that he didn't win legitimately.

One XANA attack and a RTTP later, we're back at the competition's game ball. Just like before, Herve presses his cheating button, but this time, knowing the projectile's path, Jeremie has Kiwi 2 dodge it, and thus giving Jeremie the win once again. Unlike Herve's victory, Jeremie's feels a lot more deserved, as the crowd goes wild, and Jim proudly announces Jeremie as the winner. This handshake, however, Herve refuses to participate in, acting like a "sore loser" (whether you forgive him or not, Yumi, Odd's right), storming off the stage like a petulant five-year-old. But you could say that this time, it was Herve's turn to be confused, not understanding how Jeremie seemed to read his mind and dodge his projectile, not knowing where his plan to cheat went awry.

Another side note: When Jeremie loses, he's comforted by his friends, who reassure him that winning isn't everything. When Herve loses, he's chewed out by Sissi, who calls him a "loser" and his robot ugly.

A very common contrast here is the fact that Jeremie has friends to support him, while Herve doesn't. Another contrast is character: Herve's main motive during this competition was to stay in Sissi's gang, and to do that, he needed to beat Jeremie, while Jeremie seemed to just want to have some fun during the midst of fighting XANA and working to free Aelita.

Make of all of this what you will. I just wanted to point it out. If you have any thoughts, please let me know.

What ever happened to Theo? I know he’s in the BG a lot but I’m curious how this dynamic could’ve worked if they didn’t have Yumi play soccer in the end

Nicolas's middle name is Sergey and Herb's is Antoine.

Only they know about each other's middle names, they think they're too embarrassing. Herb suggested telling Sissi but Nicolas soon shot down the idea.
