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?'
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
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).
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.
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
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
@@hexagon8899 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.
@@hexagon8899 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)

@@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 fact he is cannoncally humming the theme song.
That's every fan though
He hums it in episode 2 when entering planet express for the first time. Only character to hum the tune, twice.

What is that music box tune the fairy missiles are playing?!?
*canonically
Who’s he????
I like how they own the entire planet through their scams and yet they still hang out in Planet Express despite it being a dump.
Counterpoint: It has a Chamber of Understanding and Angry Dome.
@@888fevertimeAddendum: It's the only place on earth with 10+ doomsday devices
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
"I can wire anything directly into anything! I'm the professor!"
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
The one time a bureaucrat was actually helpful
I love it when shows have extended theme songs play in cool/deciding moments
Like Gravity Falls
@@Kyleplaysgames567 exactly the show I had in mind

@@MasterArchfiend in New Getter Robo they play the theme song like every episode
The example that always comes to mind for me is Breaking Bad, they did it perfectly

And how shitty Star Wars got
No no, Hermes is not headless, he's only head. Bodyless maybe.
@@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).
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.
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.
“Finally! I get to save the Earth with deadly lasers, instead of deadly slide shows.” 😆
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
If you don't get chills when the main theme kicks in, you don't know futurama
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
Gold plastic syndrome strikes again
What about the Globetrotters destroyed one with basketballs
Future Tommy gun
@@luissera1296future basketballs
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.
0:44 this bit actually goes hard
It pops off right? Hum along and bop every time
@@cheradaninezakalwe2851 im talking about the synth beeping noises
Cant believe rise of skywalker ripped this off 😂 a cool black guy leading a whole fleet of civilian ships against the bad guys
I'm just now realizing the main soundtrack for Futurama is in Spotify as I am listening to it right now. 👏🤘
This probably was the most epic scene from futurama
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.
The Endgame of the Futurama universe
Indeed
I don't know why else when I watch the final battle of Avenger Ultimatum I remembered that part of Futuroma
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!
This movie had everything
0:19 I can wire anything directly into anything! *I’M THE PROFESSOR!*
Star wars be like:
The sequel
Futurama: "Not you!"
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.
Definitely the most badass scene in the entire series. Gives me chills everytime.
I will never not love any time. The theme song comes on during the show as part of the narrative.
I wish this fight was longer!
Coolio going out with a bang. RIP
Greatest scene in Futurama history maybe?
He's Champin for a Clampin.
I put this scene up there with Dr Who’s “No, sir - all 13!” in terms of epicness
0:22
professor: i am the professor
Me: eh wha?????
HE'S CHAMPIN' FOR A CLAMPIN'!
What memories i remember watching this in direct tv
KWAZAM!
1:37 Happy Quanza Mafafaqa
Favourite line of donbot
"No I do not"
Hermes was humming the Futurama theme song. Isn't that breaking the 4th wall?
RW:this was my fav part in the show😆
Buona Pasqua Giorgio Guida eh Giorgio Marco è bellissimo
Coloirised footage of Robute Guilliman directing the indomitus crusade in naval warfare.
The epic fight
Hope the Scammers saved the receipt for those things.
Wow the robo mafia and robot santa helped
1:40 what is the music box’s theme ?
1:16 HE’S CHAMPING FOR A CLAMPING!!
💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥🔫😠
I doubt that this is how burocrats work. He should have ask for atleast 25 forms first
Bro turned into a war thunder game
In space 😂
Kwazam!
They are 100% death stars from star wars
1:04 IN YOUR FACE FREAKS!!!!!
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Wait, Hermes is decapitated?
1:13 1 tommy gun destroys that whole thing.
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
Extra Ultra Ultimate Biggest Greatest Strongest Toughest Darkest Maximum 0:35
This final battle felt greater than the one in Endgame
Achilles vent?
