Review: Apollo Gauntlet “Pilot”
We have our winner and it’s not even really close.
Spoilers Below
A cop from Earth is trapped in another world, but equipped with his talking gauntlets, Apollo Gauntlet is still able to fight bad guys all the moon-walking the fuck over them right afterwards.
Our Take
Apollo Gauntlet was already good back when it was a Rug Burn series, and now with a bigger budget, our titular hero is able to showcase his comedy flexes in a newer light and boy I couldn’t be happier. The gauntlets are funny, but Apollo has enough one-liners to make you want to watch this pilot over and over again just so you can catch them all. Fans of MacGruber would eat this shit up, and rightfully so, because it’s by far the best of the new Adult Swim pilots.







There's got to be some kind of twist that's going to happen with this. I don't know if they're setting up an April Fool's joke now or what's going on, but it seems too strange that they'd suddenly reverse on doing a fourth and fifth season after the show was already renewed and they were even just talking about working on those seasons like a couple months ago or something. Or maybe the two episodes yet to release will secretly somehow each be like a "season" in themselves?
