  • This is a video consisting of a compilation of scenes featuring one unsettling villain from my memories, the evil ex-leader of the Hyper Force, Mandarin (voiced by James Hong), from the show Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go! His slow degeneration from grace to savagery made him an interesting villain to witness. Hope you enjoy him as a much as I did.

    I honestly wish the show continued because I always hopeed the original Mandarin would return and face off against his clone. I mean the clone has Mandarin's memories and acts as if they happened to him, though I could easily see the Mandarin clone attempting to kill off his original while the original mocks him for being a pale imitation.

  • @tayojones9460

    Honestly, Mandarin was at his best in his debut. He beat the monkey team effortlessly and stood up to Skeleton King, if briefly. Then he came back as a hulking brute, and was not as interesting, until he was "replaced" by the clone, who proved to be just as dangerous. Kinda wish he went the starscream route, and plotted behind King's back (though he would be smarter than scream and not loudly proclaim his plans in front of Skeleton king). Despite my nitpicks on how the character was developed later on in the series, this was still a great highlight video for the fallen leader of the Hyper Force.

      I agree that he was at his best in his debut, but I never really minded the brute form. To me it showed that he was willing to go to any length to get his revenge. But I hated the fucking clone! I just couldn't stand looking at the damned thing, knowing it wasn't the real Mandarin, and that the real Mandarin was either dead or rotting in some prison. What bothered me even more was that everyone was treating him like he was the original. I understand they probably didn't know about the switch, but it would have been interesting if they had figured it out.

      I follow Ciro Nieli on FB, and while he does seem interested on at least finishing the last season like it deserves, he hates Disney and would probably prefer to do it with another network. That is if Disney is willing to give up the rights to the show and return them to him as the creator.

      on the other hand they may have just retconned the whole thing and just chose to ignore the giant brute form never happened.

    5:39 Mandarin: A man who had been bested by a group he had immense spite for and a kid who he wanted to follow in his lead. He wasn't a moral monkey, but he was an honorable and respectful one, trying to convince Chiro that he deserves better even when his loss was closing in. Even filled with hatred and spite, he showed the one thing you rarely come out of a villain. Compassion, enough to allow Chiro one final time to believe in his philosophy. Sure he did it once and kinda spiraled into madness, but that moment from his is the best to come from that weird robotic chimp and has brought attention to this show. This has been slenderface123, and you just read a short essay in the comment section of a cartoon montage.

    That scene at 8:31 rubs me the wrong way.
    All the tension between Mandarin and the Monkey Team comes from the fact that _he_ was once its leader, and _he_ would have a serious grudge against its new leader. Surely the Skeleton King had the means to remodel his life force into that frame.
    But instead, a false Mandarin is shown to the real one is his last living moments. From then on, the Hyperforce faces something that _literally isn’t_ the Mandarin they once knew.

    • @GauthamSwaminathan
      @GauthamSwaminathan 2 роки тому +4

      I have a theory that the clone is the original, and the beefy Mandarin is a clone. First of all, the clone Mandarin frequently used power primate abilities like monkey mind scream and levitation, but Antauri said that the power primate couldn’t be replicated in clones. The big Mandarin never had any power primate abilities, more fitting of a clone. The big Mandarin was in charge of cloning chiro, which makes no sense as Mandarin is a warrior. It makes more sense that as a clone, he would be suited to run a cloning experiment. The clone Mandarin is organic, as seen when he decays in episode 52 with Valeena and Chiro in the dark one dimension. Plus, why would Skeleton King take Mandarin, the strongest monkey, make him weaker and big, and then just replace him with a clone who resembles the old Mandarin. I think the big Mandarin was a placeholder until Mandarin was finished being prepared by Skeleton King.

    While James Hong does a decent job, and can does well in some areas, I think he might have been miscast as Mandarin, because his hammy and sometimes awkward performance isn't really suitable for this old, sinister, fallen hero type character who isn't really supposed to be comedic, at least mostly. They should have gotten somebody else like Sam Witwer instead, even if he didn't voice Darth Maul until several years later, but that's just an example of the type of guy they should have gotten to voice him.
