232:- "Some areas may have advanced technologies likes". I use "some" here because they would specifically be contrasting with "others" in the later sentence. I also use the plural form "technologies" because the singular form would indicate the collective organisation and employment of knowledge, rather than individual developments, which this sentence seems to suggest.

399:- Change this to something like: "In a 2006 interview, Tartakovsky expressed relief that it was abandoned, commenting on he wanted a film that was faithful to his vision, which he thought Hollywood would not do. He also said that they would finish the story, and that there would be an animated film."

Overall, the article has some problems with its prose. It has a lot of information without citations, and some of the sources are self-published. The article is not nearly broad enough in its coverage, lacking coverage in a lot of areas, most noticably its reception and a synopsis. It is, however,

the story takes place fifty years after Jack was cast into the future. In despair from the years of fighting Aku and from Aku's destruction of the remaining time portals, Jack—who has not aged as a side effect of the time travel—is haunted by warped visions of himself, of his family, and of an

neutral, stable, and well-illustrated, but unfortunately, that is not enough to make up for this article's downfalls. I'll have to quick-fail this article due to its lacking scope and verifiability. If you feel like the issues here have been resolved, then you can nominate this article again.
576:
As a quick side-note, there was a biography released on Genndy
Tartakovsky not too long ago (April 2022), and there's probably a lot of good stuff for covering the production in there: "Genndy Tartakovsky: Sincerity in Animation" (2022) by Kwasu David Tembo (ISBN: 9781501356278).
358:
You should add the airing of the fifth season to this section; A "Conclusion and revival" section is not necessary. You might want to add when the show was made available for streaming, and on which platforms, as this currently doesn't cover it.
436:
The last subsection on the 2017 revival needs a lot of citations. Currently, it only has one non-primary source. The production of the fifth season also needs to be included in the "production" section, as it currently has no information on it.
551:
The
Scotsman and Demongo do not seem to be important characters, and have not been introduced earlier in the article (beside a brief mention of a scotsman in the "setting" section). Just write "Jack and two side characters as non-playable
479:
Overall, there just aren't enough reviews here. 1 for its initial release, and zero for the ones after? There are a lot out there for the fifth season, which should definitely be included here (there are seven reviews on

From a cursory glance of the sources, most of them seem okay (except for one I'll get to later). There are also two sections I've tagged that need citations. Anyhow, I'll get on with the actual content of the article.
378:
As mentioned earlier, I don't think this should be a section onto itself. Maybe a subsection of the previous one. I will still make comments about it here, though, as that is where this content currently resides.
208:
Is the main character's father the emperor? The parenthesis with voice acting credit seems to suggest so, but it might be good to explain that. E.g. " whose father, the emperor of Japan "
397:
Tartakovsky said in a 2006 interview that the live-action version of
Samurai Jack was thankfully abandoned, and that "we will finish the story, and there will be an animated film."
250:
What is "however" contrasting here? The first paragraph? You might want to write that as "Despite , there are a number of uninhabited regions depicted in this world, like "

filmfestivals.com (source for Annecy award) is a blog, i.e. self-published. Replace it a better source.
