Not strictly retarded, but unjustified, contrary to the rest of her canon, and probably stolen (har har) from Sly Cooper.
Thanks to current year +4 feminism, women can never be dumb, violent, weak, or evil. This will be extremely boring.

Carmen is, was, and always has been a villain. She was a force of nature who stole not simply because she was evil, but because it was fun. She stole national landmarks because it was the only thing she could have fun doing anymore, as this was the biggest challenge. One time, she stole the letter ñ from the entire fucking Spanish language. Hispanohablantes everywhere couldn’t tell you how old anything was without making reference to the opening of someone’s rectum, all because Carmen got bored one day and decided it’d be really funny if she stole a letter from a language. And she never, ever got caught for it, not for very long. What she does is selfish, causes mass hysteria, is arguably actively harmful to some, and to top it all off, her reasons for doing so are petulant and are mainly done to stoke her own ego. She is not some misunderstood good girl.

Remember when Carmen Sandiego was a flimsy framing device to learn about geography and world history? Because this shit really comes off as a tryhard excuse to 1) use nostalgia to get free promotion and audience awareness and 2) "reimagine" a known female character from the 80s or 90s because being female is about the only thing they care about and see as an opportunity to use to push more feminist drivel.

No, we let feminists write. Or rather, we let feminists write badly.
Catherine L. Moore, Shirley Jackson, Ursula K. Le Guin, Anne McCaffrey, Mary Shelley, Doris Lessing, Tanith Lee, C. J. Cherryh, Andre Norton are all heavyweights who mop the floor with the boys, even Kathy fucking Acker is still actually fun to read, and even Joanna Russ at her didactic feminist beat you over the head with the message worst, is still a good read, and doesn't Mary-Sue her women just because they're women, or fail to make them flawed just because she feels they're right.
Bad writing is just bad writing, and propaganda is always propaganda, it has nothing to do with ideology. Unless you're Marion Zimmer Bradley, who should have been burned at the stake.
God, I miss Ann Nocenti. She was to feminism in comics what Dwayne McDuffie was to black issues, someone who still had self-awareness and a sense of humour. These days they'd both be memoryholed for not sticking to the party line.
Oh well, at least we still got Christopher Priest! Back in the day he came off as a blowhard, but now it's like he's the last sane man.

We absolutely cannot have her be a villain at all. How about she steals from those thieves because they're just trash thieves? Why does she have to be a hero? I am noticing a larger and larger problem in SJW media where like they're terrified of actual villains. You know the ones who enjoy being bad and do actual bad things. Carmen's motivation makes little sense. If she disliked the thieves so much, it'd just be easier to be a snitch. Why the aversion to making her a straight up villain? A thief that steals from other thieves just made me roll my fucking eyes into the back of my head. Everyone knows stealing is wrong. Everyone knows murder is wrong. It just seems stupid. You didn't need anything to Carmen's character before, because shit, understanding someone's motivation for stealing famous shit is easy. Murder was never brought into the mix. Her being another generic, non-anti hero is fucking annoying. An anti hero has to have anti heroic traits. I realize it's a kids show but man, shit is so boring. Make her love thieving, make her not give a shit people could be hurt or even killed. Maybe have her limit be knocking people out and when other thieves murder its 'not her business'. But then make the org cross a line like stealing souls or some shit. Doing something she can't abide. At the end of the day, still have her be a thief. Make her still sell artifacts on the black market. Still enjoy flouting and being smarter than the agents hunting her. Still have her be an interesting character. But nope, just generic cartoon badass girl who is a dindu.
I know, it's a 'kids show'. But the thing is no kids will know Carmen Sandiego. They're going off name recognition for the same reason. Get internet buzz and hope it will cause a shitstorm like She-Ra. But it's just boring and sanitized. Its unchallenging, it's not even edutainment anymore.
Yes I am mad. I've grown tired of half-assed anti-hero villains.

It's sounds like they are trying to create a female Diabolik in a way.
And since she's not killing people, it ends up being like the Saban's animated series version of Diabolik, where it was essentially a master thief using his own handmade gadgets/tech and disguises to sabotage and steal from his brother's worldwide crime syndicate while avoiding Interpol.

Yes I am because I see a jackass who overreacted to an image that's 9 or so years old by now for the first time. This is worthy of investigation in a site overrun with newfags.
You also cannot deflect from the fact that you're choosing to attack me now instead of directly admitting to everyone by now that you were clueless about this image.

>Anyone who would save that trash and post it unironically is a fucking nigger.
Saving an image doesn't make you a nigger newfag, there are multiple reasons to save them even when they're outdated, or terrible.
>Kinda surprised you didn’t make your own version of it though, with your faovurite fantasy kino and Alien³. Then again, you never could make OC.
I've made OC before, probably more than you have, longer than you have too, and still am. I also don't think Alien 3 is even a good flick, and I stopped going to /tv/ for the past 3 years. However the fact that you actually know this meme ousts you also going to /tv/, since I've seen the same meme get posted on other boards before, and I knew it was part of the layout made before waifu faggotry took over the board. As such I can deduce you're a /tv/ lurking newfag as you didn't even say "The Prequels." you said "Alien 3" like the retard you are.
For your sake stop posting, I mean it stop and save yourself further embarrassment before the mods and other Anon's wake up and start laughing at you.
