      @@Sea-Salt Unfortunately, there was a fairly bad rule Disney had for shows. Quite literally, the 65 Episode rule. It's mentioned here briefly, but you need to understand that EVERY SHOW that wasn't extremely, insanely popular got shut down as a result prior to Kim Possible, which was the last show subjected to it before it's fourth season. There are a few exceptions aside from the highly popular shows, but the rule was responsible for a fair number getting shuttered.
      And no, the rule wasn't as asinine as it sounds. It was based almost entirely on the rigid schedules of television programming. By the mid 2000s, it had loosened up a lot, what with online network streaming, video on demand, and dedicated channels.

    • @thelastholdout
      @thelastholdout 2 года назад +74

      Zurg was HILARIOUS in this iteration. The show had a genuinely great sense of humor overall. And it still had some genuine drama to it. What's not mentioned in this video is that the villainous plot in the first three episodes/movie was to steal the LGM's Unamind and use it to mind control the whole galaxy, and it WORKED. The only reason Buzz and his team were able to fight back was because they happened to not be on Star Command when it was hit by the Unamind ray, and the reveal that all of the Space Rangers on board were now mind controlled slaves of Zurg was TERRIFYING. It might be one of the best direct to video movies Disney ever released.

      ​@@thelastholdout Agreed! I didn't have the VHS but as soon as he started talking about and showing clips from those episodes a whole flood of memories and emotions came back. The drama and execution of it were excellent (at least for the time/as a kid, obviously there's plenty of common tropes involved), but like Zurg rewinding the memorial speech was *brutal*!
      As an aside, while watching this I couldn't help but think that this version and role of Buzz went on to influence Kronk's characterization in the Emperor's New Groove. Like the villain lady hitting on Buzz and him deflecting to the clams felt like such Kronk delivery.

Then Star Command was released as a show with Pizza Planet as a sponsor for the show, hence the presence of LGMs (who are Pizza Planet properties and not Buzz Lightyear, which is why they do not remember Buzz in TS1) with Buzz and Zurg being the only concepts the show adapted from the Film.

    Been watching clips of the show here and I think Zurg himself may be the best part of the show. He is very Skeletor-esque in his actions. How he laughes constantly as his plans go well and how he just revels in being evil for evil's sake. And at the same time the writers make him enough of a threat that he isn't just a joke. Even mixing it in brilliant way. A standout moment for me was when Zurg was not going to pay Warp for some mission he failed to complete. Warp grabs at Zurg and you hear a sound then they show the robot Hornets around them had armed and pointed their guns at Warp simply because he touched Zurg. Then you see Zurg just glaring down and says, "Do. Not. Touch. ME! I have a real thing about personal space." That instant shift form terrifying evil emperor to silly normal guy was always a great bit.

      And it’s the moral of the story, to boot! Booster and Mira told stories about Buzz being good at destroying robots, but power is not what makes a hero. The professor wanted to know if Buzz was a good person, and giving up the last lime sherbet was proof of that. True heroism is not about beating things up, but about being nice. It’s a pretty powerful message to send to kids, and it doubles as a punch line!

God loves the world so much, He gave His only Son so that whoever believes in Him will not perish, but have everlasting life. He is Lord of all creation, Maker of everything for by His will for His glory. I'll pray that you believe in Him before it's too late.

    That first bit about Aladdin finally clears up why the "Return of Jafar" started with a new character that everyone seemed to know already.

    • @victoriam.4927

    • @Compucles

      Magic is still considered to be a rare talent in their universe (although somewhat less so as time went by), so it was still surprising that a lowly desert bandit supposedly had such talent.
      Besides, if they had known Abis Maul previously, him having access to magic wouldn't have been a surprise at all, as managing to acquire various magical artifacts, creatures, and spells (first and foremost the lamp and bottle of two different genies) was the only reason he was ever actually a threat.
