I love how a "fleet of (solid gold) death stars" was chosen as the kind of crazy over the top obstacle that was perfect for the climax of this overtly satirical movie, only for actual star wars to eventually use essentially the exact same scenario and treat it completely seriously without a hint of self-awareness several years later. The writers of Futurama really were ahead of their time.
@@LordTyph The plot of Rise of Skywalker ended up being that Palpatine survived somehow and had a secret army full of ships that were all equivalent to a death star in power each, so it ended up being functionally a fleet of death stars
@@add8402 Ah, yeah, I remember hearing about that. Just surprised on the 'golden death star' bit and I was like 'jesus christ, how did Disney screw it up this time?'
It’s usually an anime trope, so it just hits that little happy nerd neuron when it happens in western cartoons. It’s just a fantastic way to get you hyped for the last big moment while also serving as a sort of goodbye as it is usually the last time you’ll hear that theme with new content. Not the case with Futurama of course, but that’s usually how the trope goes, using the theme that was meant to get your attention and get you hyped to say that this is the end.
The fact that a final battle with solid gold death stars fighting Al gore’s head, mobster robots, a hanukah zombie, kwanza robot, the Helen globetrotters, and a head of some Jamaican dude controlling an army of spaceships while singing is more grounded and better than most of the Star Wars sequel final battle just summarizes how amazing Futurama is
@@ENFIKEFEPOKETCEven that's technically incorrect (the best kind of incorrect!) if you want to be pedantic. He's still got a body, it's just separate from his head at the moment (IIRC, it's getting fixed up after being crushed).
This is my favorite action moment on the series, and my favorite animated space battle. Also Mark Hamil is the Hanukkah zombie which explains the Tie fighter
I love how Hermès is actually a bad commander, if those scammers had any form of support ships, or even tactics, the ‘good guys’ wouldn’t have won. However the scammers were literally treating it like a game.
this scene was cool af as a kid and even though it's played for satire comedy, it still gives me goosebumps when they strap hermes head onto the machine and the futurama theme starts to kick up a notch, you couldn't get more good then that. that's why despite the absurdity of the situation, it still was epic and rewarded with such unlike the recent star wars film that did the exact same thing yet tried to play it off as purposefully serious and sh*t which actually made me cringe.
Love just how climactic this feels, all these characters coming together to fight one final battle against evil, had Bender's Big Score been the end to the series, it would have been a great way to end it. Hopefully the final episode is as incredible as Bender's Big Score was.
War thunder players be like The guy who rallies the team: Hermes The guys who uses the bi-plane: mafia bots The dude who uses his special missile on the last health of the target: forgot his name Finally me: 0:01
Those scammer aliens spent all that money on building Death Stars covered out of the weakest metal in existence that they never bothered to install shield generators to protect them, not to mention the addition of support ships and small fighter craft to take out enemy vessels-something the Empire would've done.
Guys tell me I'm not crazy I swear I've heard that fairy tune somewhere (1:37). At first I thought it was the outro of Gangsters Paradise because Coolio but now I'm not sure. Anyone has a clue?
i very much understand that this was supposed to be hermes "time to shine", but in reality leela (or anyone else for that matter) couldve done exactly what he did. leela couldnt "coordinate those many ships" at once but only because she was trying to on an individual basis and divided into teams. all hermes did was command all of them to fly in a single delta formation and concentrate firepower, which isnt exactly something exceptional that only he could achieve. as epic as this scene is to watch, that small detail always bothered the hell out of me.
actually incorrect, each ship will have different speed/acceleration/turning rate, making it require a greater than average brainpower to be able to actually keep them all in line with each other
@@trinityy-7 that isnt something you have to consider when all you do is order them to fly in a specific formation. speed control is completely up the specific pilot of their respective ship.
@@trinityy-7 thats literally why i said my original comment. hermes being the savior is redundant because its unnecessary. pilots today do the same thing as they have since like WWII. they dont need a computer telling them exactly what speed they need to travel, they base their speed off of who they follow when flying in formation because the leader dictates the pace. everyone else simply adjusts accordingly as needed.
@@MasterOfTruck dude did you not see the part all the way up until he was plugged in?? they were unable to be coordinated in the slightest until hermes stepped in.
Omfg this fight makes no sense. You use a machine gun to destroy a death star? I can appreciate the absurd but what the fuck were the writers thinking?
I mean, it's a solid gold death star. Flashy, yes, but not really durable. Like, at ALL. I mean, a bunch of basketballs exploded another one, and I can believe it.
Well, he does have robot accuracy. Maybe he shot a spot so much with a laser machine gun it went through the death star and hit something vital like dark matter storage (or a whale oil tank)

The ability of this show to make something so goofy, so badass is unbelievably impressive.

I love it when shows have extended theme songs play in cool/deciding moments

No no, Hermes is not headless, he's only head. Bodyless maybe.

Don't forget Robot Santa. Dude was still awesome
“Finally! I get to save the Earth with deadly lasers, instead of deadly slide shows.” 😆

After the fight with Manbeatpig Al Gorr was ready zo take on anything
Man bear pig actually.
He is super serial, no one can defeat him
Pigmanbear
When al gore gets super cereal nothing can stop him
It was the only other time people took him super cereal.
The one time a bureaucrat was actually helpful
Bureaucrats were helpful once. Just not for the last few thousands of years
Hermes is always helpful. He’s arguably the most productive member of the group.
The writers suck up to bureaucracy every chance they get
This is my favorite action moment on the series, and my favorite animated space battle.
Also Mark Hamil is the Hanukkah zombie which explains the Tie fighter
Bender's big score feels like the climax of all Futurama in that time and this scene feels in a Endgame level
That's why out of all four Futurama movies, this one is my favorite just by this one scene alone
@@mortytheorgre1500 not just your favorite, is by far the best of all the four
It's the COMBACK FILM that set up the Revival of the series to continue to produce more seasons thanks to this film
I love this version of the theme song
It's the full version
I love when hermes starts bobbing his head to the beat and making the HM sound. It's so damn good you can't help but tune along to it.
1:47 That word will forever live rent-free in my head.
1:47: Rest in peace, Coolio
"He's champin' for a clampin'!"
Wow, the ‘solid gold’ Death Star the Robot Mafia took out musta been made outta gold plastic to crumble to a few dozen Tommy gun shots.
Gold isn't known for its toughness

What about the Globetrotters destroyed one with basketballs

This probably was the most epic scene from futurama
1:40 and that part was the most beautiful flower of the bouquet.
1:16 HE’S CHAMPING FOR A CLAMPING!!
💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥🔫😠
0:24 Roboute Guilliman in the indomitus crusade be like:
The Endgame of the Futurama universe
Indeed
Always thought it was nice of the Globetrotters to come in and help. Being that they have their own planet and all.
And also AL Gore despite being emperor of the Moon
I think everyone was pitching in due to being scammed and wanting revenge, Earth or not. That's why even Robot Santa pitched in.
They have the foresight to see that it was only a matter of time until the scammers spread outside of earth and the heart to help out an underdog
@@bdeamon1 They are truly kings of the cosmos.
I love how Hermès is actually a bad commander, if those scammers had any form of support ships, or even tactics, the ‘good guys’ wouldn’t have won.
However the scammers were literally treating it like a game.
Counterpoint: Hermes recognized the lack of support ships and capitalized on it.
Your comment doesnt really make sense, do you think Hermes would have used the same strategem against different kind of fleet/enemy? Why though?
Flak cannon and point defense turret goes brrrrr.
If the scammers had support ships, they'd beat damn near any force.
We still love you Kwanzaabot! #RipCoolio
Definitely the most badass scene in the entire series. Gives me chills everytime.
HE'S CHAMPIN' FOR A CLAMPIN'!
That same theme song we came to love and remember has never been more than that until now amazing.
The best part about Futurama is it never Ends
No, the best part is it had a perfect ending and doesn't need to be brought back to be cancelled half way through. Lol
And that it always comes back!
I don't know why else when I watch the final battle of Avenger Ultimatum I remembered that part of Futuroma
0:38 I’ve never noticed before, but you can see Nibbler to the Planet Express ship’s immediate left.
Huh. I never noticed that, either.
This movie had everything
Es por está escena por la cual considero que "El gran golpe de bender" es la mejor película de FUTURAMA entre las 4 que hay.
El lejano verde es muy buena también sería la segunda mejor por tener continuidad con la serie luego.
0:22
professor: i am the professor
Me: eh wha?????
Serves those scammers right.
I will never not love any time. The theme song comes on during the show as part of the narrative.
I remember seeing a ytpoop with a climax similar to this, right down to using this remix of the theme song.
I wish this fight was longer!
I put this scene up there with Dr Who’s “No, sir - all 13!” in terms of epicness
Don't mess with the planet Express crew 😎😎😎😎😎
Coolio going out with a bang. RIP
Star wars be like:
The sequel
Futurama: "Not you!"

gives me goosebumps when they strap hermes head onto the machine and the futurama
theme starts to kick up a notch, you couldn't get more good then that.

unlike the recent star wars film that did the exact same thing yet tried to play it off as purposefully
serious and sh*t which actually made me cringe.
He's Champin for a Clampin.
one of the coolest scenes in the series
It's all the professor fault from the beginning in the first place.
Greatest scene in Futurama history maybe?
I think using gold might have actually made them less durable.
What memories i remember watching this in direct tv
Vesper. It's hopeless! I can forward many ships! Aster. When i say I can help.
Favourite line of donbot
"No I do not"
The brilliant plan was to have the ships form a line and then all shoot the sphere.
Wow the robo mafia and robot santa helped
Hermes was humming the Futurama theme song. Isn't that breaking the 4th wall?
KWAZAM!

1:40 what is the music box’s theme ?
is a parody of the song "Gangsta Paradise" but altered with some different and missing notes.
Likely because Kwanza-Bot was voiced by Coolio, who originally performed that song.
1:13 1 tommy gun destroys that whole thing.
Those scammer aliens spent all that money on building Death Stars covered out of the weakest metal in existence that they never bothered to install shield generators to protect them, not to mention the addition of support ships and small fighter craft to take out enemy vessels-something the Empire would've done.
