Episode 23: A Clockwork Megas
After Coop's' latest modification to Megas ends up accidentally creating a warp hole, the crew find themselves on an unknown planet inhabited by robots. While everything seems friendly enough at first, it becomes quickly clear that something darker is lurking in the shadows.
It's a good thing that
Megas XLR
is in no way trying to be a show that is immensely thought provoking, otherwise this episode would probably be stirring up a huge debate among viewers.
As you might expect from the title, this episode is heavily inspired by
A Clockwork Orange
, even referencing it a couple of times within the episode itself. And to that end you might be able to guess where exactly the plot ends up going by the time the last few moments hit.
Outside of that though, this episode is straight up a horror comedy, and MAN do they nail both aspects down great! Not only are alot of things that happen with the robots terrifying on their own(especially if you jive with works such as
Kamen Rider Zero-One
), but despite the lowered presence of comedic beats, every moment that's meant to be funny is REALLY funny.
And while I could easily see people interpreting the ending as meaning that Coop was in the wrong the whole time, I think the episode itself makes it especially clear that the inner workings of the unknown planet aren't exactly squeaky clean, regardless of the viewer's' own personal belief on how to handle criminals. But, I'm not interested in starting a debate here in my thread, so I'll leave it there, and I hope everyone else can too.
This was an overall great episode that really nailed the overall atmosphere, and that makes it a standout in my book.
