    At Mongo City, Emperor Ming shows Dale Arden the frozen form of Flash Gordon and Dale agrees to marry Ming if he will free Flash. In the meantime Zarkov and Ergon work feverishly to repair the energy shield to protect Sky City from an impending attack by Ming's robot sky forces. Princess Aura frees Flash from his ice prison and the two, with the help of Queen Undina of Coralia, blast their way into the central control area of Mingo City's defense system. Vultan and Sarin's men ultimately repel Ming's full-scale rocket attack on sky city and proceed to occupy Mongo City. Flash bursts into the wedding ceremony of Ming and Dale and after an exciting sword fight, Flash forces Ming to flee in his rocketship. Prince Barin proclaims himself as regent of Mongo and the people rejoice in their new-found freedom. The chapter ends with Flash and Dale planning exploratory visits to other parts of Mongo and the eerie, sardonic laughter of Ming emanating from out space.

    Princess Aura was definitely *"the BEST-DRAWN character" in that series!* Something tells me, that *there were quite a few 'dads'* watching *Filmation's Flash Gordon* back in the 1970s.

      Surprisingly, I find Dale the least well-drawn female in the series! Even some of the warrior women that make up Aura's posse are prettier than Dale!

    20:28 Brave line for a circa-1980 sci-fi cartoon. In the highly-divisive reality of the 2020s, that's a painful poke in the side.

      That evil laugh and snarl of frustration was practically the trademark of VA Alan Oppenheimer ("Oilcan Harry" in "The New Adventures of Mighty Mouse", as well)

    Awesome show. I only wish they had a higher budget to work with so they could have had more sound effects and didn’t have to reuse shots. I’d love to see a new live-action movie based on this show. They could finally do it with the help of CGI.

  • @JCNDCIII

    Great episode! I wish there was a soundtrack for this series. FILMATION scored a new one specifically for Flash. All of their other 70's shows essentially used music from their Star Trek animated series. I have that soundtrack. I believe every score to be new to this series with the exception of this section: 02:57This cue was used in a lot of Tarzan and later Batman and the Super 7 shows.

      @The_Fat_Controller. Před měsícem +1

      There are several TV soundtracks I wish could be released, and _Flash Gordon_ is at the top of my list. I am sure the music tapes were destroyed or taped over, but the sheet music probably still exists where the music could be re-recorded. There are many tracks from _Underdog_ and some from _Hogan's Heroes_ and even a couple from _Gilligan's Island_ I would love to listen to just by themselves without dialogue or sound effects.

    Now that is what I like there, knowing exactly which characters that are actually interesting enough to become recurring characters and the characters that really aren't that great at all. Not really like the ones you see nowadays.

    • @floydjohnson7888
      @floydjohnson7888 Před rokem +1

      As TV was at the time, many a viewer was expecting such a clash between Aura and Dale. However, the typical TV "catfight" of the era was more about literally undressing one's opponent than metaphorically. In more recent years, screenwriters have "made amends" by giving female characters UFC-level fight sequences.

    This is great seeing this again. Between the FG serials from the 30s on local TV and this series, oh man, I was eating this UP. But adding Gremlin...WTF? That was as annoying as Scrappy Doo when HE was an addition to the cartoon.

    • @jamesarmstrong1811
      @jamesarmstrong1811 Před 2 lety +1

      I stopped watching when the gremlin was added,NBC censors thought the cartoon was just a bit risque (remember it was 1979,),if they showed it now,it would one of the top cartoons on the Toon network.
