The Plastic Blaster is a good episode of Ralph Bakshi's The Mighty Heroes
tavm31 May 2007
Warning: Spoilers
In the late '60s when Terrytoons was a part of CBS, Ralph Bakshi got a big break when he pitched a cartoon series that spoofed superhero groups. The Mighty Heroes was the result. The lineup consisted of Strong Man, Rope Man, Tornado Man, Cukoo Man, and Diaper Man. In this episode, the villain is called The Raven who with the help of his flying friends rob a jewelry store. He also has a gun which has the power to liquefy anyone still. While the MH manage to grab the gun, they keep clumsily aiming it at themselves allowing The Raven to get everyone captured except Diaper Man who follows his friends to the villain's hideout. Eventually, good prevails...It takes a while but the laughs do come at the climatic fights at the end. Loved Diaper Man's use of his baby bottle in defeating The Raven or the Rope Man saying, "I'm tied up." after getting such with his rope skin. Bakshi probably provided Terrytoons with one last hurrah before the cartoon studio closed for good a few years later. He never forgot his roots either since about 20 years after he developed Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures...
