Absolutely love this cartoon used to come home after school and sit cross legged eating a bowl of cereal before I did my homework Such a Classic, wish I can get the set
This isn't the only time you see the Mask's face, but it's the only time he looks like that. In other episodes, he's explicitly called Murtis, who was originally introduced as an unmasked villain a few episodes before (in "Murtis Steals The Silver Arrows"). Probably because of that, the Mask is the only villain with multiple outfits: the brownish robe he has here, the same purplish robe as Daedelus and Willamina, and a unique costume consisting of a short brown tunic with a long purple cape (as seen in "Return of the Mask" and "The Nemean Lion"). In the latter outfit, he even has his own counterpart to Herc's ring sequence, where he puts the mask on and the screen flashes as he charges up.
The dumbest example of that was an episode - I forget the title, but it's on RU-vid somewhere - where the Mask makes a bunch of masks and tricks a bunch of villagers into putting them on, making them invulnerable to the danger that was approaching the village, but unable to remove them without a special key that only the Mask has, which he then tried to extort them for. *But he didn't lock his own mask*, so Hercules beat him easily.
Hercules has become one of my favorite superheroes. What an awesome theme song. As an adult I'm now reliving and healing my childhood - this time with superheroes included!! 😉💪🔥❤️💞
I know its supposed to be a mask with awesome powers but the sound effect here 0:22 really makes it sound like this guy is just an idiot putting an ordinary bucket on his head. Dont misunderstand, im only teasing and the cartoon is great. Its just an unfortunate choice of foley that had me chuckling.
The Iron Mask was much scarier in the black & white version I reviewed several days ago. Now; you would think Hercules would be smart in future episode and just trip up Murtis like Tewt did in the finish instead of punching him with the mask on; but nooooo. Me Hercules, I bring the pain. Zeus built me strong, forget to give me brain.
So the guy made a mask and just because Hercules couldn’t beat him Hercules got all butt hurt and had to resort to having Newton ant Toot bail him out from being a loser.
Hsha. Spock is a Vulcan. This is the Mask of Vulcan from Greece. Whoever wears it gain invincibility . The only weakness is once it has been taken off, you’re vulnerable.
