@@phelous It's always fun to see you go over bizarre animated media! Also, you should do episodes in which you go over your top episodes of the 1987, 2003, & 2012 animated 'TMNT' TV series, and you should do episodes in which you review 'TMNT: Shredder's Revenge' and 'TMNT: The Cowabunga Collection'.
Man, can you imagine, if they've actually stolen an episode with Prince John or the Sheriff? And these guys would just show up in New York with no explanation, without even changing the backgrounds, so every time Spidey "talks" to them we see that he is in a city and they are in space. I don't know if I would've died out of embarrassment or laughter
The fact that you put this much dedication into watching a really obscure forgettable 60’s cartoon to find all that recycled animation is very impressive. I would also not be upset if you decided to do more videos poking fun of these forgotten low budget 60’s cartoons.
7:00 I mean spiders perceive things around them by sensing electrical fields which would include radio waves so this idea has some merit Ya know, if it were reworked a little bit
I guess they were starved for CanCon cartoons, especially since they had to wait a few years for Teletoon to appear and the rise of things like co-productions (like Nelvana's co-pros with Scottish Television during the late-90s) and the Canadian-American cartoons originally produced for PBS.
@@steamboatwill3.367 it's like they were ashamed of having the female character be actually useful so they had to remind the audience how stupid women are
They really could have dialed this relationship up to 11 by doing a crossover episode between Rocket Robinhood and Spiderman. Assuming they didn't do exactly that.
0:43 I might be wrong about this, but after reading the TV Tropes page and looking up an episode list for Rocket Robin Hood, it might be possible that Infinata came back for another Rocket Robin Hood episode, specifically one called "Return Trip".
Dr. Manta and Goron are the kind of weird deep cuts that I would love to see show up again in new Marvel stuff. Just slap them onto Moon Girl and let them run wild.
@@connorbeith3232 If I owned the rights to Dr. Manta and someone came up to me wanting to license him, I'd have them buy me a couple slices of pizza and call us square. He can't be worth much more than that.
The backgrounds in the later episodes of the 60s Spider-Man look like Rainbow Brite got drunk and colored the sky all different colors (which would have given Murky Dismal a headache in turn because it wasn't gloomy enough)
The only way I could think of Dr. Manta to be in the Marvel universe is that he and his island can be something from the Savage Land or something close to that. He fought against the X-Men and after losing a fight, retreated to somewhere near the waters of the Big Apple to recover his losses and since it's a big place, no one can ever hope to find him to cause any more trouble (or so he thought). He continues making experiments by kidnapping people at random and made life a living hell of the kidnapped he snatched away from different parts of the world to make his little island playhouse just for fun just so he can make himself king of the artificial island. How he does this is by brainwashing them, creating somewhat of a hybrid and replica of the Savage Land for familiarity and experimented on subjects hence Igor to make himself top dog. He has a tower that produces electrical radio waves to dupe the "citizens" that they're actually from that island. That is until Spiderman found out about said experiments and proceeds to take him out. One possible story I can make out if they ever wanna bring this dude back.
This is all just building up to the crossover where Rocket Robin Hood is told Spider-Man is a violent threat and tries to kill him. Then the Punisher kills Rocket Robin Hood and picks up the job, and the rest is history.
years ago, i probably would have never thought that the single channel i found for bootleg reviews (which never cover the bootlegs i'd actually come across), would also be my number one source of more accurate history on old cartoons than the couple of large sites which covers the same topics i sometimes use. curious that.
Another mystery on top of a mystery: This man went to all the trouble to invent or carry a radio specifically designed to contact Spider-Man and ONLY Spider-Man....but doesn't know that's who he's calling on the radio??
Any reason why this Dr Manta is a Robin Hood villain, let alone a Spiderman villain? Sure, he may be a better alien design than the Star Wars sequels, but he doesn't really fit the High Fantasy theme. I guess he's Space Opera-ish in the way he looks, but the bug theme doesn't match at all.
I guess a mantis doctor makes more sense as a Spider-Man villain then... whatever the heck the lord of Dementia Five was. Though him being a recurring villain in Rocket Robin Hood does make this about as questionable, even if part of that recurring was also stock footage.
I expect a 2020’s reboot of Rocket Robin Hood that removes the sexism, which spawns countless YT videos shrieking about a “culture war ruining our grandparents’ childhoods!”
I Will happily take any excuse to see Spider-Man in a Spaceship! This is a very fun whacky story! I love your channel! Please do more old Marvel cartoons reviews!
I was born in 1961 and can’t recall having heard of Rocket Robin Hood until Phelan covered the other ripped-off episode. My parents really kept the television off until my sister and I were both into our teens, so it’s not all that surprising. I don’t know how much the show was rerun in my part of Illinois. (Note that I never saw Star Trek during its original run.)
13:05 Also, Igor is missing an arm in this shot from the Spider-Man episode. I wasn't aware that arm existed on the same plane of reality as the robot beetle.
Honestly even though the villains are from another show, I wouldn't mind seeing more modern takes of them in a new spiderman movie or something so people could be like "wait... who the hell is Dr manta?"
Though you would have to use a decent amount of creativity to guarantee people wouldn’t confuse Dr.Manta with Black Manta from DC Comics beyond the fact that Dr manta is insectoid in nature while black manta is not
In the 1960s, Spider-Man kept getting warped into the same story stock footage(s) from rocket Robin hood. You could say Spider-Man entered the Rocket Robin-Verse!
Gotta say though, this almost makes me wanna watch Rocket Robin Hood because I dig the strange surrreal art and landscapes. It's like a drug trip for kids.
7:45 "Asteroid" was a much looser term back in the 1960s, as we didn’t know that they were tiny little rocks until we got a good look at them with space probes
Of course it's a perfect plan: Use your giant remote control robot beetles to capture squishy humans to mine for you. And if anybody gets in your way use a giant mountain breaking monster. Why I dont see any other way this could have been.
It’s a pipe dream and the odds are smaller than a molecule but…. I really hope one of the Animated Spiderverse sequels includes the version of 60s animated Spider-Man who occasionally does Rocket Robinhood plots. That would be something that would fit in Lord and Miller’s writing wheelhouse.
I want to see some more 60s Spider-Man reviews, like one of "Up from Nowhere", where they re-used assets from "Swing City" by reversing the stock footage and turning the villain into a supervillain from Atlantis who wanted to sink the city with a submarine.
the little pink dinosaur giraffe thing kinda looks like something ralph bakshi animated since it looks so similar to the little monsters he puts in his films and Wizards

It's like if Daredevil showed up in the Star Trek animated series.

And then have him meet Rocket Raccoon. And possibly Nova, the Human Rocket.

Superman: That asteroid is OVER THERE. OVER THERE needs to take Care of its problems.

These are such oddly specific reviews. I love it.
