Apollo Gauntlet is an American adult animatedtelevision series created and written by Canadian animator Myles Langlois, which is an adaptation of his independent web series of the same name,[1] released in 2012 on Rug Burn, a YouTube network born from a partnership between Titmouse, Inc. and 6 Point Harness.[2][3] It follows the eponymous superhero as he fights evil in a futuristic medieval society.
July 9 (2017-07-09) – August 13, 2017 (2017-08-13)
Produced for Adult Swim by the companies 6 Point Harness (its first television series as a production label for Mondo Media), Mosaic and Williams Street, its pilot episode was aired on December 4, 2016, while the series aired from July 9 to August 13, 2017.[4] The series was not picked up for a second season.[5]
Apollo Gauntlet is the pseudonym of Paul Cassidy, a police officer from Winnipeg, Manitoba who gets sent to a futuristic medieval society by Dr. Benign. His namesake derives from the pair of sentient talking gauntlets he wears along with his magical suit. In this society, Apollo Gauntlet fights evil while trying to capture Dr. Benign.[6]
Apollo Gauntlet began airing on Adult Swim in July 2017.[6] The pilot aired in December 4, 2016,[14] and was previously released on Adult Swim's official website in August 2016, along with the pilots for several prospective television series, including Brian Wysol's Hot Streets. Viewers could rate each pilot by clicking one of five buttons corresponding to their reactions.[15]
Daniel Kurland of the Den of Geek called the plainness of its animation style unique, identifying influences from the He-Man animated series and other animated fares from the 1960s and '70s. Kurland wrote that its setting would allow many stories to be told and that the "rogues' gallery of creatures" prevalent in the pilot were indicative of many more "exciting" creatures.[1]The A.V. Club's William Hughes called both Apollo and Hot Streets "very Adult Swim–esque", writing that they felt in tandem with Adult Swim's "core aesthetic of cheap-looking, surrealist animation mixed with self-aware dialogue, delivered with a distinctive slacker vibe".[16]
