Ay y'all. So when it comes to realistic and "realistic" I think it is more apt to say that the pots and pans robots are more Believable than realistic. Like I look at pots and Pan bot and believe this could exist.
They took the giant robot genre and ran with it. It thrived on the episodic nature of contemporary cartoons. It's a giant robot by beating the snot out of stuff. It is awesome!!!
Just putting some extra tidbits out because I thought they were neat: Megas XLR was not actually supposed to be made. It was one of a number of cartoons featured in a voting competition, and would have cost WAY more to make than the others. Yeah... the people spoke, and we only got as many episodes as we did out of obligation. Like, aside from the intro theme, literally EVERY other piece of music was from a stock music collection. On that note, the two pieces I think you'll be most excited to listen to are "Viper Room Rumble" (the song that plays at the end of each episode where Coop states the "lesson" he learned (and also... I wanna say Sports Center? I SWEAR I'd heard the song be used on ESPN, because again, stock music), and "Short Hair" (the song that plays whenever it's time to bring the pain). There's 2 versions, one of which has lyrics!
Yeah other than one executive the powers at be hated the show and wanted it gone despite it getting great ratings. They never even bothered to make toys from the show despite it being an easy one to monetize that way. Honestly it's a shame they never just stuck it on adult swim since they could have easily made their money back from ad revenue alone.
The theme song is a banger tho. And besides every cartoon uses stock music. Living here in Jersey fighting villains from afar You've got to find first gear in your giant robot car YOU DIG GIANT ROBOTS I DIG GIANT ROBOTS WE DIG GIANT ROBOTS CHICKS DIG GIANT ROBOTS * Epic guitar solo * Nice
Another thing that i love about Megas XLR are definitively the monster of the week. They are so over the top, so cheesy and ao in your face you can't help but to love it. Like the Elvis Head who ran the space thunderdome. "Send. In. Everyone." "Which one?" "EVERYONE!!!!"
Imo, Multiversus captured the pacifist nature of Iron Giant way better when his "attacks" are mostly indirect actions that references the movie. Like spinning a car around, or chewing on metal. He refrains from using his attack mode weapons until his rage meter fills. (Even then, he still doesn't like using it at all, reacting with shock when putting it away.) Plus his interactions with Superman, and wearing a big metal "S" on his chest are so damn wholesome. The devs coulda just gave him punches, kicks and missiles, but they portray him as a protector using his powers for good, just like his idol.
To this day it honestly surprises me that Hollywood has not tried to make a zoid's movie. Chaotic century would make a great Trilogy. While the zoid series about Ligar Zero and the contest fights could be a great stand alone.
17:45 One of my favorite examples is the one where Coop gets in a game of chicken against the main Big Bad, and as the Big Bad is gloating because Coop's friend Jamie made Megas dodge first, his proximity warning goes off, whereupon he just crashes into the building that set off the warning. The building's sign says "Jersey City Gunpowder, Shrapnel, and Ball Bearing Factory," but if you want to read it all, you need to either master speedreading or have the means to pause at the scene with the sign, as it only stays fully and clearly visible for about 1 second before the Big Bad crashes into the building, causing a massive explosion that blocks out the sign. Just the idea of such a building, such a factory existing is so dumb, and yet it is also so perfect.
You just reminded me of the Rise of the TMNT episode wherein after they find out they've got DNA from the universe's Jackie Chan/Bruce Lee analogue, they end up in a brawl in New York's fish and ladder district.
That Building actually shows up SEVERAL times in the series, but the sign on top changes. It's the same one that they used for the "Homework Factory" and at one point it's just tagged as "Conveniently Empty Building"... If I remember well at one point it just says "Oh God, not again, have mercy!" or something... Not to mention how Coop Repeatedly Blows up PoP TV Infrastructure like That one satellite, and they Keep referencing how they JUST got back on air as he blows it up AGAIN. In whatever following Episode it regularly happens that Coop is annoyed that he can't get a Signal for that Station either, Not realizing that it's his fault... These little details are just SO Gods damn perfect!
@@kgmotte2363 Still, my personal favorite is an opening exchange between Coop and Jamie, where they are in the middle of being swarmed by dragon-like creatures. Jamie: "'Let's check this planet out. It looks harmless.' Great idea, Coop." Coop: "Hey, how was I supposed to know it was full of giant alien monsters?" Jamie: _"ISN'T IT ALWAYS!?"_
The main thing to know is that the buttons in Megas's controls literally change based on what Coop needs. And every time he presses the big red one, you know the rule of cool is about to kick in
All this talk about infrastructure being protected in a giant robot work reminds me of Daiguard, which is about a bunch of paper pushers at an insurance/defense contractor company inherit a mothballed giant robot project and have to balance using the robot and having to reimburse the damages. Its really good.
Gonna hate myself for this but to play devil advocate since there are other Iron giants in whatever alien robot army he's from the iron giant in ready player one might not be THE iron giant.
three things, first: the big red button megas have would totally have just been a "commercial break and we come back he's won off screen" button and that's why he's never allowed to press it, that or it's zetaflare i will stand by ready player one as being awesome for two reasons, it is its own justification for the references it makes, but it also fully understands what we are inevitably going to do with VR, like look at VR chat, slap combat on it, now add embedded tools for modding it from inside the game i love all of the pacific rims for the same reason i love starwars ships, the sheer variety, i prefer a world with both styles of giant robot over just one or the other because that feels the most "realistic", you're not going to have just one universal standard design philosophy for these robots, especially when america gets involved i do wish we could have seen america's first jaeger, their equivalent to cherno, i'm picturing something steam powered fired with coal soaked in oil that walks like a cowboy and fights with a giant hammer
The transformation theme somehow ended up as the sports segment theme on CNN Headline News and I've literally never found another person who knew what any of those things were or cared. This is exactly what I would do if I found a Voltron robot at the Pick-n-Pull, so, "this is made by people who *know*" could not be more accurate.
LUCAS- I agree about every giant robot you mention sans, gurran laggan, Simon is definitely a character in his own right compared to many pilots in robo media
I apologize if I came off ready for conflict, text sucks at conveying inflection and intent, sorry for assuming you were an absolute expert in robot shows. Yourself and Karl always express your aware of not specifically lore masters on every topic.
@@firepuppies4086 don't believe in me, believe in the you that believes in yourself! That show is my go to whenever I need a pick me up because it just embodies hope.
I remember reading excerpts from Ready Player One, and it looked more like a bibliography for a research paper than an actual work of fiction, due to how often the little bit i read was like "the Hasbro Transformers™ Optimus Prime Ultimate Edition!" Or some such bullshit.
Can't remember the name, but Sci Fi Channel used to show an old Japanese tv show with a giant robot named Giant Robot (how original) and its head was like the Sphinx. They also showed episodes of Gigantor every once and awhile.
Nah man, here in Come To Brazil it's all about Coop. Dubbed by one of the best and most popular VO artists in the country, known both for serious stuff like being the voice of Superman, but also Jim Carrey, Owen Wilson and Brendan Fraser, Optimus Prime (hey interesting one here), and comic relief characters in general (he's Freakazoid, Buzz Lightyear, Cosmo from OddParents, King Julien, it goes on), Coop even had his name translated as "Dude". Yeah, him being more of a comic relief than originally, while still being the main protagonist, worked wonders. There were also lots of references to our culture in the dubbing process, which helped to adapt it to the audience.
I loved that you did this episode on one of my favorite, bad@$$ cartoon mechs. Thank you! This was such a fun stroll down memory lane. I have a life-long love of mechs, which I'm not even ashamed to admit.
Magnas powers remind me of The Tick. I had a discussion about the ticks power and we settled on his power is to be as powerful as he needs to be to make the fight suspenseful. If hes fighting say a dog hes weaker and on par with the dog and the dogs bites will affect him however if hes fighting a giant robot he can deflect some bullets and lift impressive amounts.
Do you guys remember/have you seen... "Infra Man!" I remember the trailer, never saw the movie, but me and a mate had a lot of laughs with it. "Thunderbolt Fist!" "Rocket Feet!" Silly, old, movies.
another detail about pacific rim is a thing called the Miracle Mile where it’s the last line between the kaiju and the city’s so the jaegers are supposed to engage the kaiju there before they even get close to populated areas
i've got a bit of a personal theory for Future Trunks and why he keeps going back to a future that's completely destroyed. He usually uses a time machine to go back and forth, but let's just say for argument's sake, that he DID change "the future" .... So a new timeline has been created.... But what if he only knows the coordinates for his own original timeline? What if the reason he keeps going back to a destroyed world is because he doesn't know how to get to the new timeline's future, and he just keeps going back to their world and solving new problems that he'll never see the benefits to.
The network axed it because they wanted to give the money to ben10 and teen titans. For whatever reason they didn't think it was worth keeping despite having really high ratings. So they wrote the show off as a loss in their taxes and as a result it can't ever be broadcast in the US again.
I saw Megas, I click I hope they talk about the DMV clip Edit: hell yeah! I wish Mecha was more popular so we at least got a second season. I always wish we got a VR mech game, it would be a great to flip switches and hit buttons in vr to get the click while you fight a giant slow moving enemy
Yeah they got mad that it was reaching an older audience despite the show doing well. Had they just moved it to adult swim it would probably still be getting shown today just like cowboy bebop and aqua teen hunger force
@@nubreed13 honestly I think it would of been a good lead in show to adult swim. Mature enough to where the older kids would enjoy it, but not so mature that the kids going to bed can't watch it.
@@darkmyro yeah the creators agreed with that. Unfortunately adult swim didn't exist when they made the pilot and barely existed when the show was cancelled so they never got offered the chance.
@@SymbioteMullet If it wasn't just a better version of the RX-78-2, I would guess Unicorn if they were going for spectacle. I mean that was sort of the point of this thing to begin with.
The thing about the logic ranking you gave, while it is mostly true. There are next to no characters in anime that can beat the flash or superman unless you reach the highest in anime logic like light novel rimaru. Honest honestly a large part of anime logic and comic logic overlap
I agree that Megas XLR can defeat most other mechas, but I seriously doubt that he can defeat Ideon(a robot that killed all life on his universe), Getter Emperor( a combining Mecha the size of planets, that when combined creates excess energy equivalent to the Big Bang, can control time and gets more powerful over time) and Mazinger Zero, the final form of Mazinger Z( the origin of the sub genre called Super robot) is so powerful that probably no one can defeat it, just one person can convice the conscience of Mazinger Zero(not the pilot), because normal Mazinger Z is a mech with a pilot but when he turns into Mazinger Zero, the mech gains a conscience.
I love this show. Guy Fieri driving a car mech is amazing. Never read Player One or watched the movie, my sister did get the book for me but I think I’ll need a couple packs of beer to get through it.
Yeah Ready Player One really is that kind of movie where like sure if you just wanna have fun going "oh hey it's that thing!" for an hour and a half at least it's short, but the minute you stop to think about it for a second, or heaven forbid read the book, it really falls apart. I mean just the conclusion of the movie on its own is kind of hilarious. The apparent lesson they wanna portray is that you shouldn't be a nerd all the time and you should appreciate real life more. But the only reason the Hero won was because he was such a shut-in nerd. Plus the reason why everyone is so obsessed with VR is because the real world is shit. And the story does nothing to actually address this so like there's no reason for anyone else in that world to stop using the Oasis. It's just so hilariously hypocritical. And I've only heard that the sequel book is even more terrible. The MC just becomes a rich asshole who abuses his absurd wealth to fuck with people it's so bad.
@@diamondking6432 they only broke out because they absorbed all the spiral energy that the field absorbed. The Megas XLR anti-belief ray just stops that outright. No storage, no waiting it out, no regaining the ability to believe anything, ever. Just zap, donezo
@@diamondking6432 the Megas XLR anti-belief ray doesn't conveniently store spiral energy, it just stops a target's ability to use it forever. It's just zap, donezo. Begular
Eh, Gurren Lagann is a poor example. I definitely think of Kamina and Yoko before the robot, probably because Simon is such a non-character that it seeps into everything he touches. Also, the buildings getting destroyed aren't random. 9/10 times it's a building belonging to Pop TV, as a jab at MTV for shitcanning the director's previous show.
I didn't really know anything myself about Gurran Lagann so I didn't realise, just had a friend who was a big fan and thought I'd mention it, but clearly it's a bit different than I'd inferred from our conversations about it. - Lucas
@@wikiweekends Yeah, it's an odd one. Like... the mecha designs are super unique, and somehow they've still ended up as background noise when I look back on the series. Oh, and since senpai has noticed me, shame on you guys for not putting The Big O in your compilation of rocket punches. Or is a pile bunker different enough from projectile fists and rocket assisted right hooks to demand a separate list? At the least I DEFINITELY feel they're more cinematic than the latter. Both of them have a windup, but then you get a SECOND windup before something gets mantis shrimped into oblivion.
I hated ready player 1 for an entirely different reason. I only watched the movie, so the first challenge was different, but regardless, that's where I lost interest. The solution to beating the "race" which let's be real, it wasn't a race. It was an unwinnable obstacle course, but I digress. The way to beat this 'race' was to....explore the map. And NOBODY fucking tried that. Several years of people attempting this race, and nobody thought "what if it's not really a race?" That's just dumb. Ruined the whole concept for me. Not the mention the lack of hackers, mods, and other ways to cheat. Everyone played 'fair'? Bull shit

Follow up I love your videos so much and am thankfully y'all keep going!!
The correct answer is only if the script calls for it.
Megas XLR runs on a combination of the rule of cool and toon physics.
They took the giant robot genre and ran with it. It thrived on the episodic nature of contemporary cartoons. It's a giant robot by beating the snot out of stuff. It is awesome!!!
Karl and Lukas are doing Megas XLR!?!? Yess
They did everything else but megas
guillermo once said he didnt use any mecha refererances in pacific rim but you see gypsie danger do the "double deuce" which is a megas xlr move

Like the Elvis Head who ran the space thunderdome. "Send. In. Everyone."

But the only reason the Hero won was because he was such a shut-in nerd. Plus the reason why everyone is so obsessed with VR is because the real world is shit. And the story does nothing to actually address this so like there's no reason for anyone else in that world to stop using the Oasis. It's just so hilariously hypocritical.
And I've only heard that the sequel book is even more terrible. The MC just becomes a rich asshole who abuses his absurd wealth to fuck with people it's so bad.
They try to buy the kid off with the Millennium Falcon. That movie could have been better, but they couldn't get the rights to better sci-fi.

This show needs a reboot, Not a CGI reboot, Honest to god, cell shaded 2d Reboot
I like to refer to ready player one as a "smashing action figures together" movie.
Karl says mega could beat any mecha and say bs because Gurren Lagann is literally if you believe it you can do it
Yeah. But the Megas XLR has an anti-belief ray that prevents the target from believing anything
@@averywhitaker3513 that just sounds like the anti spirals thing where they put everyone into a pocket dimension WHICH THEY BROKE OUT OF
@@diamondking6432 they only broke out because they absorbed all the spiral energy that the field absorbed. The Megas XLR anti-belief ray just stops that outright. No storage, no waiting it out, no regaining the ability to believe anything, ever. Just zap, donezo
@@diamondking6432 the Megas XLR anti-belief ray doesn't conveniently store spiral energy, it just stops a target's ability to use it forever. It's just zap, donezo. Begular
Eh, Gurren Lagann is a poor example. I definitely think of Kamina and Yoko before the robot, probably because Simon is such a non-character that it seeps into everything he touches.
Also, the buildings getting destroyed aren't random. 9/10 times it's a building belonging to Pop TV, as a jab at MTV for shitcanning the director's previous show.
Kamina would overshadow anything in whatever media he is in... Just who the hell do you think he is?
I didn't really know anything myself about Gurran Lagann so I didn't realise, just had a friend who was a big fan and thought I'd mention it, but clearly it's a bit different than I'd inferred from our conversations about it.

@@wikiweekends Yeah, it's an odd one. Like... the mecha designs are super unique, and somehow they've still ended up as background noise when I look back on the series.
Oh, and since senpai has noticed me, shame on you guys for not putting The Big O in your compilation of rocket punches. Or is a pile bunker different enough from projectile fists and rocket assisted right hooks to demand a separate list? At the least I DEFINITELY feel they're more cinematic than the latter. Both of them have a windup, but then you get a SECOND windup before something gets mantis shrimped into oblivion.
I hated ready player 1 for an entirely different reason. I only watched the movie, so the first challenge was different, but regardless, that's where I lost interest. The solution to beating the "race" which let's be real, it wasn't a race. It was an unwinnable obstacle course, but I digress. The way to beat this 'race' was to....explore the map. And NOBODY fucking tried that. Several years of people attempting this race, and nobody thought "what if it's not really a race?" That's just dumb. Ruined the whole concept for me. Not the mention the lack of hackers, mods, and other ways to cheat. Everyone played 'fair'? Bull shit
