The two of them being sent to “help the city with its spike in crime.” And them just rehabilitating and helping would be villains turn over a new leaf, would be a great run of issues.
@@SuicidalSummerSnowWoman It was definitely one of my favorite shows as a kid, and rewatching some clips now, it holds up pretty well. It lacks in the action choreography department, likely a limitation of the time, but it's not bad even then. And the character writing was pretty on point.
Static Shock and Batman Byeond were so good because they treated the viewers like intelligent people. They didn't give them 12 minutes of stimulation to satiate their short attention spans, they gave them stories they'd want to pay attention to.
The glory days, when the lessons of the episodes applied to real life and you took it with you to potentially become better than you already are.. they don't teach priceless things like that anymore
I'm 20 yrs old from India, I'm hindu and i read in bangali medium. I have a problem i just can't remember what 56 called in Bengali, so i always count from 50,51,52,53,54,55,56 and that's how i remember what those numbers called. I don't know what is wrong with me
Not to mention those were the days where the writers and developers really cared and had passion for their work. As much as I'm sure a lot of people love these new cartoons, it all feels like cheap ploys to get instant ratings by filling time slots with a lot of noise, flashy colors, and memes. Parents always talking about how tv will rot a kids brain, maybe with today's shows, but ones like Batman Beyond, Static Shock, the OG Batman Animated Series, and the Justice League? Those were entertainment shows that taught you a lot of life lessons.
If you're dyslexic, it's very important to know that you can do anything you want and it's not simply because you're dyslexic that you should be shoved on the side.
I agree. I'm dyslexic, but you wouldn't be able to tell, because reading is one of my favorite hobbies. I struggled alot at first, and was even held back in first grade, because of it. And to top it off, I'm lefthanded which made it worse when I was being forced to use my right hand.
This show was so ahead of it's time. I never even heard of dyslexia before I saw this episode, but it made it easy for kids to understand, and even though I'm not dyslexic, it was still really inspiring. "You're not dumb. Do the work."
The smartest people in the world don't learn well in traditional schools. Everyone learns differently, and that doesn't make you stupid. It just makes you unique. 🎉
Even so, people are afraid to be below average at something. Easier to lose that fear, especially the common ones if a woman can do better. Only gonna get older and slower, though good habits can slow the decline, or improve if you weren't in ideal/peak shape to begin with. Hopefully wiser (not prolonging arguments or detecting inexperience to not process info or dementia in others) and not too fat 😂 or sensitive if that's a trigger word. I also think of that line with batman to clayface, "You overplayed your part, yo." So don't continue setting yourself on fire to warm or help others' bad debts once you see they can't repay in general, or don't even acknowledge your sacrifice.
Static never judged Adam for his dyslexia, but knew he had it be blunt with him because his inability to read was impacting the mission. We need another show like Static Shock man.
I never watched this show much growing up but looking back at it now this show was probably one of the best kids shows out there. They don’t shy away from real life topics, there’s a really good episode on racism someone made a video about on here, and they don’t go about showing these things in a way where it feels forced just for the sake of showing it. It feels naturals like it would be irl and that’s a pretty great thing for a show to be able to pull off
Use to try to watch this on Saturdays when I was a young teen (assuming i didn’t have plans). It was one of those shows that was weekend morning only on network TV (can get access with antenna’s / bunny ears for free). I don’t even know if they do Saturday morning cartoons like that for kids anymore. Now to watch antenna or bunny ears you need that HDTV converter box. Also almost everyone has access to streaming services (there’s even a few free ones with commercials like crackle, FreeVee, etc). They should bring this show back though.
@@monroerobbins7551 Parents today baffle me because a lot of them are the first to cry about 'offensive' or 'non-child friendly' material, but they let their children watch things like Adventure Time where it sometimes feels like you're on an acid trip. Same thing with Teen Titans GO! and Regular Show. Batman Beyond, Batman Animated series, Static Shock, these were all shows that had a deep, significant meaning that taught us a lot about hardships and understanding other people from a completely different perspective we wouldn't normally consider. A literal 'walk a mile in someone else's shoes' if you will. I don't watch a lot of modern day cartoons, but of what I have seen, it almost feels like a large portion of the 'content' of these shows are just filled with memes and lame jokes with no context. Maybe I'm just too old to understand lol. (I'm 29)
“You said you can do it, it just takes work. Do the work.” This is beautiful and I’d argue applicable to almost every disability out there. Almost. There does of course come a limit but people are consistently surprised by what they’re capable of when they keep at something.

They have tried but apprently there is an issue with the estate of dwayne mcduffie who holds final say with his creation such as static and icon. Close we got was black lighting
@@zygas25 I mean I guess a black super hero with electric powers is great but static shock has so many cool side characters aswell, close but no static :(
@@kitsco9599 Isn't being dyslexic not being able to read well and has nothing to do with being able to type sentences. On a computer. With built-in autocorrect. Also the mic option to say what you want to type out. Crazy.
I never said anything about sentences what do you mean??? And yes dyslexia can effect how well they write sentences but I never said anything about someone not writing right becuase of dyslexia
@@darkmoonthedirewolf9231 That what is shown in this yt short in the scene where he sees a few words and then the words start facking changing into some randomly mashed together words that its nothing like dyslexia and more like hypnosis
I can’t imagine that feeling you get when people think your dumb but your far from it. And sometimes even explaining it doesn’t help, you stuck at a crossroads. It’s scary.
Art like this was something special. Our hero never hated anyone even though his world was full of hate. Taught us morale values and how love a misunderstood tragedy. Everybody is just person, a human being. Even most of the villains.
took me a long time to realize i had dyslexia, i didnt know what that was when i was younger, and because of that i had a lot of difficulties in school. its no wonder i hate reading so much
hard work and encouragement, everybody can succeed with those. The only dumb ones are the people that give up or the ones that don't put in the work. My dad taught me that, he also said, "never let anybody tell you that you cannot accomplish something, you have nothing to prove to anybody except yourself, go out and be someone that you can be proud of."
Static shock was so good at bringing light to real world problems in a good way and representing them without being obnoxious which shows nowadays fail to do EX. Proud family louder and prouder
I remember I knew someone that could read big words with ease but small words was really difficult but for me it was the other way around & it took me a long time to read a 45c book on my own bc of my dyslexia & ADD I found history books more interesting than fantasy or just any fiction bc for me it’s just easier to fallow along with
All mental illness exists on a spectrum. Some people like Ansel Adams likely had ADHD but were never diagnosed as such. Yet Adams still had a successful life.
@@rollihd714with the addition of not being able to sit still as a kid, that is probably adhd. That’s one of the most common things pointed out about kids who get an adhd diagnosis later
This episode hit me hard at the time i thought I was alone that no one els had this problem. It helped me talk to my dad and that got me the help. This show was amazing
Back when series wanted to not only show action and tell interesting stories but also wanted to give messages that everyone can learn from and understand. Static was a great show
Static shock was such a great show that tackled a lot of hard issues: Homelessness, depression, gang violence, racism, bullying and violence at schools
Static Shock was an amazing show with its characters but it was also amazing because it was one of the shows that Tackled a lot of serious problems that made me learn, love and respect ✊
As someone who’s dyslexic I’ve always felt dumb for not being able to read or right this episode made me feel better about my problem I actually got better over the years thanks to this episode
As a dyslexic these kind of episodes are great but they always made me feel I will always have to work harder than everyone else. Modern episodes should show the strengths of dyslexia like I have really good visual brain and see a much bigger picture than most people I know. these are just some examples but they are more.
I couldn't imagine having Dyslexia, so seeing how it can look to someone with it helps me understand. Yeah, that would be frustrating to deal with. Static is such an OG show, I miss it sometimes
Bro this shit is fake as fuck dyslexia isnt a hypnosis thing it would be accurate if he red it slowly instead of facking COMBINING THE FACKING WORDS WITH YOUR MIND like fr wtf is that shit
The Static has tought some of the most important lessons about descimination i think i've ever seen. They were able to tackle topics that would otherwise be poorly portrayed or overlooked with a mature tact that is not really seen these days.
As a dyslexic person this episode was huge for me as a kid. I pushed even harder to make sure it wouldn’t hold me back. Now it doesn’t bother me as much as it used to. But every now and then it flares up worse than normal and bothers the HELL outta me.
Watching these clips makes me wonder just how many of the issues they touched on personally affected the staff, directly or indirectly. It's so refreshing (and a little depressing) looking back on these and realizing that yes, you can approach serious subject matter in a meaningful way and still make it entertaining while also not getting overly preachy or judgmental etc. Like how did we go from this, to the CW or even what Disney has been doing lately.
What's crazy is how a regular teenage boy not only decides to actually fight crime, but in doing so he genuinely improved himself as a regular human being in ways a lot of teenagers don't at that age.
This and so many other scenes are why I am UPSET that they NEVER Rebooted Static. It did more than bridge cultures, but spoke about Social Issues that we rarely talk about in Media like Homelessness and Dyslexia
As someone who is dyslexic I’d say the parts where he was trying to read weren’t made by someone with dyslexia if it was they have the worse case of dyslexia I’ve ever heard of
This is one of those scenes in the show that teaches you something while you were a kid and how to be a good person because of it, there have been plenty of scenes and scenarios that fit that case, those make this show very important and educational
I love how towards the end of the episode they show one of the ways he figures on how to cope with it. He was reading off instructions that was telling him to rotate something and he figured since the lettering was too long for clockwise it must be counterclockwise.
I was diagnosed with mild dyslexia when I was 6, but I never knew until I was 15/16 because no one ever told me. My mom knew, but never told me. All I knew was once a year to a few years, I would be taken aside and be given a few tests involving short stories and sounding out crazy words, and I would leave my main classroom for a few hours every day to go to another classroom with different kids. I was taught techniques to help with my reading and writing, which helped me get much better results on my spelling tests. I just always thought I was slow or a late bloomer and eventually I would get it. I didn't make the connection even when I read on my progress report I had a learning disability, something I knew nothing about. I didn't even know what dyslexia was until that one episode on Shake It Up (I watched this episode of Static when I was around 8, but dyslexia sounded like a big word I couldn't fully understand back then). The word started popping up in my health text book along with a list of famous people who were dyslexic, then told my mom about them and how I thought it was cool they were still so successful. Then she went quiet for a moment before telling me I was mildly dyslexic since I was 6. It was then everything clicked. Everything made sense in that moment. I finally had an answer I didn't know I needed.
