Thoughts on [2ACV08] - Raging Bender

[Reply #120 on:]

Hey, how about a new classic episode?  This one's been up for what, ~ 5 years?

[Reply #121 on:]

That's crazy talk!

PEEL wouldn't be PEEL if we were expected to give our thoughts on new classic episodes that actually, well, changed from time to time. New feature-length epics, perhaps ("All-new" ones even). But not new classic episodes. "The Box says 'no'."

[Reply #122 on:]

Ah, the all-mighty box.  Alrighty then...wait, the all-mighty box is talking to me...the all-mighty box says this thread will be dead very soon...

How long has this 'classic ep review-raging bender' been goingon for? how about a different ep for a while?

[Reply #124 on:]

Why do people persist in coming along and asking that?

[Reply #125 on:]

There are some that have not been enlightened to the objective fact that Raging Bender was the best Futurama episode of all time. As long as there is ignorance, there is those who will ask questions, and from that, there is hope.

[Reply #126 on:]

Ohhh, I see...
That explains it.
See you later   

[Reply #127 on:]

Ohhhkay.  Gotta go... *simpsonesque footsteps running, car door slamming, tires burning rubber*

Raging bender wasnt exactly in my top 10, but it was a memorable episode

[Reply #129 on:]

This one's such a classic.

[Reply #130 on:]

Ugh..Past Bianca...you idiot.

[Reply #132 on:]

I never re-watch this one.

Pft, you can go to girl hell. I'll be in boy hell. Much nicer.

I love this episode! The movie theatre moments are straight down hilarious, and all of Bender's wrestling moments were great too. Fnog is also a great character, with many funny lines! (

Also Destructor was really funny, MWAHAHWAHAHAWHAHA!!! Overall I'd give this episode an 8.5/10

I like Raging Bender.

But let's compare it to a similar episode shall we? A Leela of Her Own.

Both episodes involve a main character taking up a futuristic sport. In ALOHO (I which I pronnounce as "Allo-ho" in my head), Leela becomes a Blersnball player. It's a dreadfully boring episode that doesn't make the most of the setting. Even YLL at least made a slight attempt to use the setting properly.

Raging Bender on the other hand does. It's got robots fighting, Sexist fly aliens, and the cinema scene. Oh, and Brainslugs. If Futurama insists of have sport-focused plots, then this is how they should do them.

8/10

I also just realized that every episode I referenced in this post involves Abner Doubledeal.

[Reply #137 on:]

I consider the movie scene to be one of the best scenes on the show, simply hilarious... "Down in front!"

[Reply #138 on:]

I'm a big fan of this one.     9/10

So, how was the Spleef Nebula?

[Reply #139 on:]

8.5/10. This was a great episode. There's some aspects I didn't particularly like.

First, the episode is highly predictable. If you watch half-way through and see he's becoming a wrestler, then you know that somewhere along the line, he's going to be up against somebody really bigger than him. Destructor did the perfect job filling that role.

Also, the Leela training Bender subplot wasn't exactly spectacular. It was pretty good, but I didn't see much to enjoy from it. Not until the end at least.

Anyways, onto the things I loved:

Seeing the Brain Slugs for the first time in this ep was classic. I liked how they stayed around the entire ep. And the movie theater scenes were pretty much classic.

Seeing Bender become a wrestler sure was fun to watch, but part of me says they could have done a better job with those parts.

So all in all, I think this episode deserves the 8.5/10, or 9/10 for the polls.

[Reply #140 on:]

Technically, seeing the Brain Slugs for the first time happened in A Head in the Polls.

[Reply #141 on:]

Oh yeah. But it was the first (and only) time they had any kind of role in an episode.

[Reply #142 on:]

One of my favorite episodes. Perfect from start to finish

[Reply #143 on:]

Probably one of the weakest episodes of season 2. It's certainly not horrible, but it's not amazing either.

It's the best episode with Abner Doubledeal though, and Phnog was funny.

[Reply #144 on:]

This is tied with "Bender Gets Made" as my least favorite episode of season two. Like UrL said, it's not awful, but I definitely wouldn't say it's very good.
This one's only around a 6/10 for me.

[Reply #145 on:]

This episode is great. I thought it was really funny and I always enjoy watching it.

8.6/10 so 9/10 for polls.
