Rocket Robin Hood Steals Again

[@TheRoflcer]

"We need Rocket Robin Hood to enter Dementia 5." Prince John: "So anyway, I started blasting."

[@trustno173]

I think Warlord of Saturn's design got changed because he looked too much like Ming the Merciless from Flash Gordon and perhaps Bakshi wasn't too eager to get sued.

[@BBBHuey]

Still, it would be amazing if we had Rocket Robin Hood, Spider-Man AND Flash Gordon share the same universe.

[@anthonylarocque7975]

Friar Tuck eating is literally the only thing I could ever remember from this cartoon.

[@dyl_pickle16-mta48]

I unironically like Rocket Robin Hood's aesthetic. The medieval ages paired with (what the '60s thought would be) futuristic technology is a neat concept.

[@WillKeaton]

On the topic of those bumpers that got reused, I clearly remember the one about Prince John that said he planned to "Destroy and Conquer the Universe!" possibly in that order. Destroy the universe, then rule over the thing that you destroyed.

[@DaimosZ]

Clearly the rubble of the planets you conquered makes for good fortification, like the Abbe at Monte Cassino in 1944.

[@legoking6165]

To be fair, the idea of Robin hood in space is a pretty cool idea. I really wish this concept had been executed better.

[@Scorpio2074]

Definitely more creative than last year's Robyn Hood...

[@ThePageofRage]

They did, it was called Firefly

[@legoking6165]

@@ThePageofRage Oh yeah.

[@KasumiKenshirou]

@@legoking6165 Firefly was a ripoff of the anime Outlaw Star.

[@BBBHuey]

Hanna-Barbera, who made Space Ghost and other space superheroes, would probably have done a better job. Hell, they even managed to turn a whale like Moby Dick into a superhero.

[@cganimefan1267]

I just thought of a way that they could have made Rocket Robin imagery showing up in Spider-Man make sense. In the Spider-Man episodes, they could have had the Rocket Robin stuff be illusions created by Mysterio. Mysterio had appeared in previous Spider-Man episodes, so they had animation of him that they could have used.

[@ShinGallon]

It's funny to look at how shows made in the days before home video were different. They didn't expect audiences to watch the show back to back, in order, or probably even to see all the episodes (let alone make fun of them on KZbin decades later), so reusing footage/plots was a lot easier to get away with. That, coupled with the lack of budget and the fact that they legit probably didn't care, is why so many cartoons of the time were like this.

[@CsBTransition]

Even further on, Freakazoid used the Candlejack camp bit twice and I didn’t notice until the DVDs.

[@KasumiKenshirou]

I think at this point kids would've noticed, but they just didn't care and were probably merely worried about technically meeting their required number of episodes. Edit: When I wrote "they just didn't care", I was referring to the people that made the show, not the kids. Although I imagine the kids also stopped caring about this show and stopped watching it by this point.

[@ExtremeWreck]

@@KasumiKenshirou I can definitely see kids having gotten bored of Rocket Robin Hood by the 30th episode.

[@j.j.hayden9461]

Infinada's laugh sounds like he's just stoned and finding something amusing about a mundane piece of furniture.

[@cheezemonkeyeater]

"That's the future of philanthropy for you." Huh. It's a lot like the present of philanthropy, just with less subtlety.

[@lotus-prince]

"You brainless mortals are such idiots" reminds me of that rant from Plan 9 from Outer Space.

And then he steals from himself to balance it out.

[@brianhebert6152]

I'm pretty sure you're describing Wario's modus operandi

[@vgtrp]

I wonder if anyone watching this show in the 60's noticed the same filler footage used over and over again, and if they did, I'm sure they got sick of it real quick. Also after seeing this, Filmation's cut corners don't look as bad.

[@PaidProgramming-th6tp]

I noticed the reuse of animations when I was a kid watching 60s cartoons in the 90s. Reminds me of great parodies of the genre like Space Ghost Coast to Coast and Sealab that really made a point to reuse animations as much as possible for fun.

[@KasumiKenshirou]

Of course they noticed. Either that or they didn't notice that it was a "new" episode and just thought it was a rerun and didn't bother watching it.

[@csmead209]

Definitely gave filmation a bump from D tier to C tier. To be fair, He-Man, from what I've heard, was more watched for the dialogue. If you wanted good animation, you watched ThunderCats

[@peterang78]

You know, despite how flawed and absurd Rocket Robin Hood is, I do like the concept and some of the background and character design look pretty interesting. I really wouldn’t mind for a reboot of this series, similar in vain of the He-man 2002 and Thundercats 2011 series.

[@trooper9249]

As much as our media landscape is overrun with remakes and reboots, I love the idea of rebooting/remaking old, obscure properties that no one remembers. Why not remake Rocket Robin Hood as a slick, modern animated series?

[@Commanderziff]

How the heck does Rocket Robinhood have a complete box set, yet I can't find more then a half dozen episodes of Space Cats on youtube? Does anyone else remember Space Cats from Saturday morning in the 90's?

[@midwestmonster9886]

You know the sad part is? When he adds original animation, it takes me a second to realize it's not in the actual show.

[@bloodrunsclear]

I'm guessing some network executive asked a bunch of kids what they liked about the show, and most of them just murmured 'I remember there was a funny round man who ate a lot of food or something...'

[@Masterge77]

Robin Hood steals from Robin Hood and gives to Robin Hood.

[@GarrettCRW]

It’s something of a low-information cliche to look at an unremastered DVD of a TV show and complain “it looks like a VHS!”, but this footage of Rocket Robin Hood is distressingly close to VHS quality.

[@Wnick1996]

Infiniata just wants to be a Spiderman villian, doesn't he. Maybe Insomniac will give him a cameo in the next Spiderman game

[@wstine79]

Time to pour out a bowl of Rocket Robin Hood Cereal (which tastes an an awful lot like Spider-Man cereal) and watch the latest Phelous video.

The real Dementia-Five would be to have an episode of Robin and Little John in the retirement home and they are assumed to be off their meds when they keep talking about how half the universe was blown up by a weird insectoid wizard from a dimension behind a cat's head. :P

[@thegoldenaquarius96]

Well, there is one thing I believe we can all agree upon: the Wabuu version of the Dementia 5 episode is the best one.

[@Geospasmic]

As someone who grew up watching Space Ghost Coast To Coast, I can imagine a version of this show that was 100% recycled footage and still fun and interesting, but that would have required new writing, and they didnt seem to have the budget for that.

Oxynite is actually used in diving equipment. It doesn't explode galaxies.

With how many times stuff got reused I bet the poor animators felt like their brains were going to dementia 5.

[@varashamus7633]

The 'Stone Elephant' thing is actually very simple. Like the difference between the American Opossum and the Australian Possum. Elephants are the grey mammals with long trunks and flappy ears. Stone Elephants are small Kaiju that are a Rhino / Dragon hybrid.

"Rocket Robin Hood is nobody's favorite cartoon." At one point in my childhood, it used to be my favorite cartoon... Teletoon would air it back in the 2000's abd i would watch it for whatever reason.

[@TONYGILLEY]

Other than the Revolt in Dementia Five, I hope you cover some more '67 Spider-Man episodes from season 3 where I believe they pulled a few cut/pasted jobs from seasons 1 & 2 in order to make some odd-looking monstrosities that passed for episodes. Hilariously fitting that the final episode of the series was a partial clip show.
