Episode 19: S-Force S.O.S.
A walking parody of both
Devilman
and
Yatterman
managed to defeat and capture most of the S-Force. Jakks, being the only one still free, flees to Earth in order to enlist Coop in helping save his friends and bring down this new, evil tyrant that threatens the galaxy.
This episode is actually kinda important in that it showcases a shift in the general tone of the show going forward, not being much more serious and straightforward.
Now, that's not to say that
Megas XLR
is now a hardcore drama for adults only or anything like that; There's still very much alot of the lighthearted referential humor that the show is known for, but by comparison of almost the entire rest of the show? It takes itself pretty seriously. Showcasing things like Coop taking his hero job seriously and feeling bad when he accidentally blows stuff up that he didn't mean to.
Heck, the ending of the first S-Force episode is taken to its logical conclusion. The reason the S-Force became worse off and lost in the first place was due to Coop not realizing that his life style only makes him a better pilot due to just how hyper customized Megas is to him specifically. Doesn't exactly yield the same results for the Zorps and their pilots even if it can be fun.
Now, would I say that this episode is as good as the S-Force episode some season 1? No, but it still has good stuff going for it and serves a decent purpose in terms of the show's' overall narrative. Which is double important considering a few specific episodes that we'll get to down the line.
Also, boy, the guys behind
Megas XLR
sure do love
Macross
, don't they?
