Bender's Big Score - Final Fight

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.

[@fredrikkirderf2907]

[@LordTyph]

Um, when was this?

[@add8402]

@@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

[@LordTyph]

@@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?'

[@SnibsnBibs]

@@LordTyph Honestly, the sad thing is it probably would have been less dumb if they just used a bunch of jewl-encrusted golden deathstars. 😕

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

Well to be fair that describes Al Gore in a nut shell

[@W1ldestride]

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

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

[@tomprice-nicholson743]

@@Kyleplaysgames567 exactly the show I had in mind

[@MasterArchfiend]

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.

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.

[@kyrroti]

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?

1:40 what is the music box’s theme ?

[@MasterOfTruck]

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.

[@trinityy-7]

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

[@MasterOfTruck]

@@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]

@@MasterOfTruck that goes against the logic of hermes, well, having his brain hooked up *directly* to the fleet

[@MasterOfTruck]

@@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.

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.

[@allendepacheco3419]

I guess using the softest metal in the universe as it's plating isn't a good idea in the long run

[@FractalNinja]

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)
