But I mean in the real, original Carmen Sandiego it actually did say that VILE started off as petty profiteers, and then Carmen took over and forced a higher purpose on them

Hence the heists all being these complex works of art intended to make a point, rather than having any practical value The 90s Where on Earth cartoon even specifically said Carmen was the world's greatest detective who had a chance to end VILE and then changed her mind

She had come to resent ACME's goal of bringing a crime-free utopia to the world and went rogue instead, turning VILE into this revolutionary prankster operation to show the world there's some things that can never be kept under lock and key

You can really see how the new show's canon is a distorted mirror of all this

It gives some context to the ACME-VILE-Carmen triangle

For the most part, I am not particularly attached to any major elements of Carmen Sandiego continuity.

The funny thing is that this cartoon is such an homage to all the old stuff This version of the Chief of ACME is totally their version of Lynn Thigpen playing the Chief on the old game show Only reimagined as Amanda Waller

Yeah - it's not really a continuity thing though, so much as it is a sort of goofy tribute. Like how Carmen's buddy is "Player" because the protagonist is offscreen behind a computer since it's you.

The actual nature of the setting in the 90s cartoon was really disturbing, like they actually canonically were all just figments inside a simulation of the world inside some kid's computer
