Mentor? I thought it was Mentok?



This is classic.

Highlights:

0:02 - His battle-cry is his own name. Imagine Spiderman shouting "SPIDERMAAAAAAAAN!!" Every time he goes to battle.

0:10 - Mentok's 'secret' base could've been actually 'secret' if it weren't for THE HUGE 'M' ON THE DOOR.

0:20 - The fact that Birdman didn't know that his worst enemy lives right next door to him despite THE HUGE 'M' ON THE DOOR.

0:35 - "And how better than by controlling the mind of his most trusted friend, Avenger the eagle?" Gee, I dunno, maybe by CONTROLLING BIRDMAN?

1:20 - The fact that Birdman and Avenger are almost as big as the volcanoes.

1:28 - Birdman and Mentok recaps the events that had happened ONE MINUTE AGO, and then continue to describe their actions AS THEY DO IT. God, get a narrator!

2:13 - Mentok didn't understand how Avenger escaped, even though Birdman just loudly explains it a moment ago.

2:29 - See, if only he did this in the first place, this plan could've worked.

2:31 - Birdman's wings are gone.

3:32 - If Mentok can take minds, why does he even need to make demands? He can just make them do it with his powers. And why does Birdman have to send the message? What, no phone?

4:52 - I love how the writers just made up the 'Missile Technician' character on the spot just to throw the lever. The best part is how the guy seems to be aware of this fact! Just look at his face.

6:16 - Birdman hits us with his awesome Battlecry yet again.

Okay, to be fair, this cartoon was made in the sixties, so we really can't expect The Dark Knight or anything. However, it IS pretty fun to point out the flaws of a cartoon, and that's how I usually watch any other cartoons, and just because it's not perfect, doesn't make it suck.

Oh, you bet I'm gonna do more!
