Apollo Gauntlet is a strange and comedically charged adventure that takes audiences on a journey through a mystical world filled with magic, monsters, and the occasional lackadaisical hero. In this Adult Swim series, audiences are introduced to the tough, but not-so-bright hero, Paul Cassidy. After suffering a tragic accident that left him in a hospital bed and a wheelchair, Cassidy’s life is changed forever. But when he wakes up in a strange, alternate dimension filled with food, farm animals, bizarre villains, and powerful relics that are both magical and deadly in equal measures, Paul realizes that he might just have a chance to become a hero.

As he explores this strange new land, Paul picks up a powerful robotic gauntlet, which gives him incredible strength and agility. With this newfound power, he sets out on a noble quest to save the world and rid it of evil. However, his quest is hindered by his lack of intelligence and his impulsive nature. Fortunately for him, he has a new sidekick in the form of the talking cat, Sprx. Together, they must navigate the treacherous lands, battle monsters, and stop villains from carrying out their nefarious plans.

One of the unique features of this show is the way it blends animation and live-action footage. This blend of animation and live-action footage played in fast motion sets it apart from other animated series. The show is quirky, bizarre, and filled with surreal humor. It is never afraid to embrace the absurd, which adds to its overall charm.

The characters in Apollo Gauntlet are a delight. Paul Cassidy is a lovable hero with a big heart, but he lacks common sense. Myles Langlois voiced this character perfectly, and his comedic timing adds to the hilarity of the show. Meanwhile, Sprx, voiced by Tom Kenny, is brilliant in his portrayal of the quick-witted cat who may be the only one keeping Paul alive. He has a sassy nature and a penchant for sarcasm; this endears him to audiences.

Then there are the villains. Each villain in Apollo Gauntlet has their unique flair, whether it is a giant, tentacled octopus monster who enjoys intense ballet dancing, or a knife-wielding pig who speaks like a posh gentleman. The villains are the perfect mix of bizarre, terrifying, and hilarious.

The animation in Apollo Gauntlet is stunning. The series features a minimalistic animation style that is reminiscent of classic 1980s cartoons. The show’s animation style mirrors past classics like ThunderCats or He-Man with its deliberately stilted character movements and sharp edges. The animation is a blend of 2D animation and stop-motion, bringing a unique texture and style to the show.

The story of Apollo Gauntlet is both engaging and packed with humor. The series possesses a distinct sense of self-awareness, never taking itself too seriously while still delivering an entertaining and compelling narrative. Despite the show's odd and sometimes surreal antics, Apollo Gauntlet manages to ground itself in heartfelt moments between the show’s characters.

Overall, Apollo Gauntlet is a delightful and irreverent show that is perfect for those who enjoy quirky humor with a dash of the other-worldly. It is a production that showcases some of Adult Swim’s most iconic qualities – irreverent humor, outlandish characters, and a willingness to take risks. At its core, Apollo Gauntlet is a show that celebrates the unlikely hero, and its creators have masterfully crafted a world filled with both danger and humor. Fans of fantasy, sci-fi, animation, and slapstick comedy will undoubtedly enjoy this show.
