I usually joked about the reason why you never saw Spider-Man’s webs not attach to buildings was that the webs were attached to the top of the TV screen.

Dementia 5 sounds like if we started adding Dragon Ball-style power levels to mental disorders.

I love how this turned into a "true crime" story for a minute

Didn’t realize Rocket Robin Hood of all shows would involve a story of  Ralph Bakshi trying to evade Canadian Police.

All my life, whenever my sister and I would waste food, my parents would always refer to us a "Friar Tuck." I vaguely knew that was a Robin Hood character but I never knew which version they were referencing. Until now.

Every time I learn something new about Ralph Bakshi, it's always something batshit. I thought his antics peaked when he punched the face of the producer on Cool World for changing so much of the story. But no. Turns out it's when he evaded the Canadian police after stealing animation cells.
God love him.

For a while, I kept hearing "Infinata" as "Empanada."

I love aggressive wholesomeness of Spider-Man admiring the night sky. “Fuck, I love these stars!”

The story of Ralph Bakshi going from animation to directing his own films is a fascinating one!

It's not often you see animated shows literally and almost completely recycle the same material for something else like this

I heard of stealing plots and animations but never before did I think I would see them straight up steal an entire episode and basically turn it into Spider-Man fan fiction

Now all we need is for Rocket Robin Hood to appear in the next Spide-verse movie.

Those aliens must be retro snobs.

“It’s analog! It has a warmer sound!”

I do like the red villains design. It’s real creepy and fun and slightly reminds me of an xenomorph . Granted I’m a sucker for old shoestring budget cartoons so I am biased

Could be just me, but Dementia Five seems more like an adventure for Doctor Strange than Spider-Man

I'm pretty sure it was called Dementia Five because they hoped you'd totally forget it before watching it again, but with Spiderman.

Once again the story behind the cartoon is more interesting that the actual cartoon.
PD If dimension 5 was all illusions, they could have revealed at the end that all was a plan of Misterio.

On the topic of the Rocket Robin Hood character bios they would reuse endlessly to pad out time, I always had a soft spot for Prince' John's, which stated that he wanted to "Destroy and Conquer the entire solar system." Aren't they mutually exclusive? I like to think that he wanted to do this in that specific order, first destroy the solar system, then conquer the destroyed rubble.

Backshi: "Well, I'm an international criminal. Better make a feature-length x-rated furry movie about life in the inner city, where I grew up."
Dude lived a life

Was not disappointed by the Hallow-weenie cameo! I miss that guy! 😥
