I have noticed that the animated shows from the past also came with character building themes that made that generation wanted to be the best that they can. Solving crime, fighting bad guys, helping the poor, sharing, etc. These days the themes are so dumb, kids only learn how to be annoying most of the time.
The Power of just POSING! Give a menacing look and a pose, and all villains are rendered impotent, and ready to surrender to the police, no matter how long they may have chased you around, and attempted to kill you! @__@
Or its 2019 and most people who used to watch this cartoon most likely have the Internet and probably already new most of these facts so we are making a 💩 video to get some views by using a misleading title.
Was born in the early 2000s and my mom watched these when she was younger and she bought the DVDs of Thundercats to make sure I didn’t miss out on anything. Glad she did that.
Snarf doesn't suck. For example, he's the protagonist of one of the best messages in the show: "you can be relevant even though you don't have great powers". The episode is called ‘’Snarf Takes up the Challenge". In the story, Snarf doesn't believe he can actually save all the Thundercats from Mumm-ra, because he doesn't have great intelligence, fight skills or strength, but he explores his talents (talking to creatures) and set free Lion-O and the others from Mumm-ha's hands. He stops being Lion-O's nanny since this become an adult. Several times the show shows us that Snarf is brave and takes action to protect the Thundercat's values.
I'm almost certain that early on Mumm-ra tells Lion-o that he remembers when "this was the first Earth." So right there he's saying that's he ancient and that this entire cartoon is about ten seconds from a stranded astronaut falling to his knees on the beach and crying "YOU MANIACS! YOU BLEW IT UP!"
He does, but it's to the Mutants who ask how he came to know of the Eye of Thundera. He mentions that he's known of it for thousands of years "from a time when this was still First Earth"
I honestly never saw Snarf as annoying. I actually always loved Snarf. In fact, my all time favorite episode is when Mum-Ra captures all the Thundercats and Snarf goes on a mission to not only find out what happened but to rescue the Thundercats from Mum-Ra.
Although we're weren't supposed to root for Mumm Ra, with eternal life and seemingly infinite powers at his disposal, he should have been able to easily pick off the Thundercats. Of course, there wouldn't be a cartoon, but as an adult I've noticed that's a big flaw in the show's whole premise.
@@Hypestrike1 well, the sword of omens was pretty much a sentient magical being equalling mumm ra all on its own. But my point was the thundercats crash landed on a planet that was already in a natural homogenous stasis and proceeded to forcibly take it over as immigrants and supplant the natural denizens already living there for thousands of years. They were essentially the conquistadors or early American settlers all over again. Mumm Ra would've peacably slept for thousands of more years if they hadn't invaded and the mutants were the natural inhabitants of the Earth in that cartoon. Granted, they didn't have much of a choice but when you think about it, they weren't really the good guys either.
What of the Warrior Women? What of the under see humans guarding the great plug? What of the other sapients not explicitly stated to be of non-Earth Origin and given their general lack of advanced technology seem unlikely to be such? How does an (apparently) undead wizard from ancient Egypt who was not even Pharaoh even begin to qualify other than by right of might?
The most interesting thing about the show to me is that it had a villain that had already won before the show started. The whole reason why Earth is in the state it's in is because of Mumm-Ra. He is the ruler of the planet. Not a ruler in the typical way one means, but ruler in the sense that the planet went according to Mumm-Ra's will, weather the inhabitants were aware of it or not. Compare that to the likes of Megatron, Cobra Commander, and so on.
@@doriangreen3231 no bc dark sied has never actually won. He’s never turned earth into apokolypse before in main canon. But mumm-ra literally got everything he wanted. He’s completely turned earth into what he envisioned
@@crosstudio Sure, but Megatron's goal is to reap the Earth's energy to overpower the autobots and destroy them..... Which he's never been able to do in G1.

I flipping loved Thundercats. It stands out as the best and I super loved Transformers and He-man too. How they looked, the voices and all the characters make this show shine the brightest *IMO*
As an 80’s kid, Thundercats was life. Had all the toys. Was Lion-O for Halloween. Repeatedly watched the OG cartoon movie on VHS. Still have the #1 comic from Marvel/Star. And as an adult, I still say “Good riddance to bad rubbish! Snarf snarf!” (Classic Snarf line)
One of the best scenes I remember fondly of the thundercats is one where the head of the new lions den falls over Snarf, Snarf was still alive and wounded and started to fade away and when Lion O saw this lifted the entire head alone, it gives me goosebumps still today.
I lived in France in the 80s. On Wednesdays we had Thundercats, Robotech and Fist of the North Star all on the same day one after the other. The holy trinity!!!
Here is something I realized as an adult: I don't see how Liono's body could keep growing without food while improperly suspended. If he somehow did get nutrients it seems highly unlikely he would leave suspended animation with the muscular body he has.
Yeah that's a goid point. However, gorillas look like that without 'working out' like human men do. And male lions are pretty ripped as well, despite doing little of the hunting. I assume both are due to high resting testosterone. Humans had a steep drop in testosterone during our evolutionary history compared to other apes because cooperation (instead of aggression) became increasingly advantageous, leading to large civilizations and collaborative inventions. So biologically a thundercat could just be more like a muscular lion/gorilla, and perhaps their society was also more contentious. They codified a king into law, sure. So biologically it seems at least plausuble, but the sticking point remains that he should have had an IV or a feeding tube in his nose.
Yea, I left an actual comment, where he actually bailed them all out of some shit more than a few times, thereby proving himself a valuable member of the group.
So Thundercats is actually a story about the last human on Earth fighting a valiant and heroic fight to protect his home from myriad alien invaders. Inspiring.
You 2 must be kidding. Are you devil worshippers?! The Thundercats series were a bit of galactic historic fact. Nope, that ugly looking monster is actually of reptilian/vampire origin. Be very careful of what you invoke…
I always took it that 3rd Earth was in reference to the Earth being the 3rd planet from the sun, like how in Star Trek they call planets Rigel 4. How they knew to call it Earth? Who knows.
Original meaning of the world earth is ground, the very ground we walk on. Then the idea of planet dawned on the human race, so earth became Earth, the Planet Earth. So take this as in the native tongue of Thundercats, they called their home planet Earth too; and when they landed on a new planet, it's logical they call the new planet Earth too.
@@siewheilou399 LOL maybe the Thundercats' word for planet is earth, so it's like saying we are living on 3rd planet (from the sun) now. Interesting. Of course, the Thundercats wouldn't be speaking English, but Thundarian, and it gets translated for us as viewers.
I always thought names like Rigel 4 and Rigel 3 were referring to how many other Rigel-named planets there were and why they federation people didn't just come up with other names. Eg, this one is called Rigel. The next one, instead of saying it's Rigel 2, should be... Voldem...well, we can't say that name.
@@pershop4950 Rigel would be the name of the star system/solar system. Rigel 1 would be the first planet closest to the central star in the Rigel system. It may have its own name as a planet as well. Our planet is Earth (really called Terra) but Earth is also called Sol 3 because we are in the Sol system and our sun's name is Sol and we are the third planet away from Sol.
A few years ago DC did a comic mini series with a Thunder Cats and He-Man cross over that was surprisingly excellent. I appreciate that they assumed the reader would be familiar with the properties instead of spending three issues explaining who the characters are.
Man, I totally thought this was about certain jokes or wayward glances between Cheetara and Tigra. Though, to be fair, Lion-O being like 12 was a constant plot point, due to him being quick to anger and impatient. Also, despite his flaws, Snarf actually bailed them out of some shit, more than a few times, thereby proving himself a valuable member of the group.
both as a kid growing up and as a teenager rewatching it during the early days of Toonami, I noticed all of that as a fan, I could have easily pointed out more than you did, like how Thundercats explicitly stated that gold has absolutely no value outside of what people ascribe to it (Thundercats being one of the few kids cartoons to point out how money has an arbitrary value) or how there's a whole colony of Amazons, excuse me Warrior Maidens, who have managed to thrive in spite of being exclusively female there are other things that could be pointed out besides those also, it's easy to take a dump on Snarf, but "Snarf Takes Up The Challenge" basically kills those arguments now Snarfer on the hand has no redeeming qualities, he's just a younger, more annoying version of Snarf
Gold is an excellent conductor, and very resistant to corrosion. If they mentioned that, we could have actually learned science in that episode. On Napoleon's dueling pistols, some strategic parts and accessories were gold-plated so they would never rust.
You have a point about the Warrior Maidens. Eventually I wondered where little Warrior Maidens came from. They never explained that, and maybe it was a missed opportunity. Also, they were the only humans on Third Earth besides Mumm-Ra.
When I was a kid, this shows theme opening always got me so hyped up. I'm in the UK and I always remember it being on a Thursday on CBBC with Philip Schofield in the broom cupboard.
@@EgadsNo Albeit the cartoon ran from 1985 to 1989 season 1 consisted of 65 episodes and season 2 was originally suppose to be 60 episodes but was broken down and extended to 3 seasons consisting of 20 episodes each! So that is why and how we got 4 seasons!
I’d forgotten it was all Jaga’s fault...how could he have known that hurdling the equivalent of 1000 nuclear warheads into a volcano would have catastrophic effects...😏
@@Robidu1973 Indeed. As in the episode when Snarf is offered to retire and return to the nearest Snarf colony it nearly breaks my heart at seeing how heartbroken both he and Lion-Oh seem.
In one episode when Mumrah had all Thunder Cars kidnapped and nearly mummified Snarf overcame all fears and saved them all, and Lion o boldly told Mumrah he underestimated the bravest of all Thunder Cats, Snarf, as bravery is not about having no fear but overcoming them.
I'd love to see a Mumm-Ra origin story where he destroys First Earth and constantly battles his good counterpart Mumm-Rana over control of Second Earth.
Everyone who watched all the episodes AND the movie set between the two seasons know this stuff. You aren't telling us anything Thundercats fans don't know.
That was honestly, interesting. I grew up in the 80's watching that cartoon and didn't know that some of these facts were how the shows background went. Pretty cool.
That moment when u consider Mum-Rah is only the villain by perspective. Like he’s the last human and earth has been over run by aliens and the planet looks terrible. Mother Earth destroyed. I’d be mad too.
Thundercats had elements of Star Wars and Superman, mixed with classic 80s Japanese animation. Intriguing storylines, amazing voice work, and memorable good and evil characters make Thundercats the quintessential 80s cartoon.
That's because they were done by Japanese/Korean studios and therefore are essentially anime. Then they started wanting to save money and began using American or other lesser country animation studios and the quality suffered greatly.
If you have time check out the short lived remake of this series it's actually good they gave back stories to the other cats. Can't say the same for the new thunder cats it looks awful.
Hiphop Forlife Huh? You can’t even string together a grammatically correct sentence yet as a child he was able to process and retain information from 30+ years ago. I wonder who the genetically inferior person is in this situation....
I love Snarf and I never thought he was annoying. I think many viewers don't consider that as Liono's nanny, and knowing he's literally a "big kid" he's expressing concern for his success because he's been with him from Day 1 since he was a child and mentally he's still a child. Snarf is very aware of that, so he worries.
Orange Unitard, iron on Eye of Thundara decal, cut the leg off of a semi-transparent pare of orange tights........ Of course other than the unitard I think most of it is her skin/fur coloring so if you are any good with body paint. Then you just need a staff, broom handle should work well enough.
Travis Smith I would prefer her classic outfit with yellow full body tights, an orange cross back strap leotard or one piece swimsuit, the Thunder Cats decal, orange boots, the wig, makeup, and orange gloves with fur and claw details. As for the staff the broom handle could work of painted and cut properly. Right now I haven’t the funds for it. But thank you, though.
This was always my favorite cartoon as a kid. I didn't think He-man / Masters of the Universe, Transformers, or really any other cartoon that existed when I was growing up held up in plot, sometimes characters, and especially the quality of the animation. It was pretty clear - long before I knew anything about animation and the process of making it / things like studio funding, that Thundercats must have had a larger budget than normal for the time, because they used fairly advanced cinematography techniques (like depth of field) that you didn't really see in cartoons of that time - at least not very often. Thundercats had it throughout. I just liked cats, and I thought the plot-lines were cool. It's also one of the only ones that still seems relatively watchable - still has a sense of purpose - after watching it as an adult. I can't say that about much other childhood entertainment.
Has anyone question why many of the characters use close quarters weapons when the primary races are of advanced civilizations? Example Monkeyian uses a spiked mace while Panthero uses numchucks
There was a comic series published that was kind of like that. lol Lion-O disappeared, and Mumm-Ra enslaved the remaining Thundercats. Cheetara was tossed in the dungeons for the Mutants to "play with", and the Thunder Kit and Thunder Kat were Mumm-Ra's slaves. It was pretty bad, even if everything was more or less implied.
@@lastwolflord That's probably what they did; they watched ThunderCats 1x01, liked it so much they binged some more & wanted to create a summary of it. Then someone else who had no idea what was going on coughed up an arbitrary lurid title for the video when they uploaded it.
@chillchi They lumped in Orko and Snarf with Scrappy to make it seem like they had a point. I don't care what you name the show Scrappy was annoying. The entire reason the 1st live action Scooby made Scrappy the villain was because he had been voted the most annoying character ever on Scooby. When they renamed it with Scrappy in the title that only made the show worse. He was a whiny distraction for the team when he originally appeared. When they reformatted the show it was just him Shaggy and Scooby running from real ghosts and monsters.
Snarf saved them like 4 major times. Orko was one of the most powerful beings in the HeMan universe. Whom also saved the day a few times. When Orko turned evil he had ERRRRRRRRRY ONE SHOOK! But the info of the video was cool.
The one thing I noticed the most as an adult is that its so obvious they only have like three or four people voicing all the characters, and if you marathon the show it starts to get kinda irritating.
Funnily enough, in the Spanish version, it's planet it's called "third planet" and not "third Earth" because it was the third planet of a solar system lighted by a little star, with enough potential to have live.
130 episodes total and it was a classic show that is just awesome. Larry Kenney, Lynn Lipton, Peter Newman, Earle Hyman, Earl Hammond, Bob McFadden were amazing in their respective roles. The story is of course the light vs. darkness. The future is post apocalyptic with humans being extinct. Earl Hammond pulled double duty with Jagga and Mumm-Ra.

@Stephanie Logan : I wouldn't kick her outta bed for scratching ;-)
Mumra’s whole character basically boils down to “GET OFF MY LAWN”
Snarf is never annoying. There were a few episodes where he was the one that saved the day. And don't forget, he is also their chef!
So what were the things that only adults noticed??
Yeah, I fell for that too lol
Well It’s not clear what Snarf is trying to do at 5:14
the sword of omen growing longer doesn't tell you anything, well thanks to Looper it does not for me
Click baiting
Just watched it. Please someone do a parody please please please lol

The BEST opening for any programme ever made EVER!!

RIP TIGGY :'(
As an 80’s kid, Thundercats was life. Had all the toys. Was Lion-O for Halloween. Repeatedly watched the OG cartoon movie on VHS. Still have the #1 comic from Marvel/Star. And as an adult, I still say “Good riddance to bad rubbish! Snarf snarf!” (Classic Snarf line)
One of the best scenes I remember fondly of the thundercats is one where the head of the new lions den falls over Snarf, Snarf was still alive and wounded and started to fade away and when Lion O saw this lifted the entire head alone, it gives me goosebumps still today.
What episode was that? I missed it😔
@@karissarasmussen567 I dont know, it was in the season where they go to another planet and they rename it as new thundera.
@@mosoti Ah ok thanks
@@mosoti that must've been an episode from one of the new age ThunderCats cartoon, not the original.
When I was in Cali in the 80s it was Robotech at 4:00 and Thundercats at 4:30 🤗
I lived in France in the 80s. On Wednesdays we had Thundercats, Robotech and Fist of the North Star all on the same day one after the other. The holy trinity!!!
Laurence Aguillard robotech ftw. I heard they are trying to put together a live action version.
Min mei
crgzero holy crud, I thought I was alone in remembering the mighty orbots. That was great
Trey Styles true!!!
"Of all the Thundercats characters he's the one with whom we share DNA." They encounter humans on Third earth all the time.
Like the tree girls,the samurai dude etc
@@eltorrito5210 Yeah, And the scientists who live in the ocean. Safari Joe. Lots of humans. And don't forget Mumm-rana
"main" characters
@@Qaosbringer In that particular sentence he didn't say main characters. He did at the beginning of the video.
Exactly
This clearly means I was born as a fully formed adult.
Other adults notice in Thundercats: "Thundercats!"
Me: _...Cheetara_
Here is something I realized as an adult: I don't see how Liono's body could keep growing without food while improperly suspended. If he somehow did get nutrients it seems highly unlikely he would leave suspended animation with the muscular body he has.
I paused the video to look for this comment. I wish I could just go to sleep and wake up ripped!
Yeah that's a goid point. However, gorillas look like that without 'working out' like human men do. And male lions are pretty ripped as well, despite doing little of the hunting. I assume both are due to high resting testosterone. Humans had a steep drop in testosterone during our evolutionary history compared to other apes because cooperation (instead of aggression) became increasingly advantageous, leading to large civilizations and collaborative inventions. So biologically a thundercat could just be more like a muscular lion/gorilla, and perhaps their society was also more contentious. They codified a king into law, sure. So biologically it seems at least plausuble, but the sticking point remains that he should have had an IV or a feeding tube in his nose.
@ peter swinkels...ummmm it can happen cuz it's a cartoon thats not real
But it's strange that Wily Kit and Wily Kat, who were older than Lion-O, didn't grow older!
The theme song is an amazing music piece.
Oh, we slandering Snarf now? No sir, I do not concur.
TheGrandTurk 💯
Yea, I left an actual comment, where he actually bailed them all out of some shit more than a few times, thereby proving himself a valuable member of the group.
You have to admit IRL worrywarts tend to get a lot of shit tho. Doesn't mean they're not invaluable. But they get on people's nerves a lot.
I get slammin the Scappy Doo's & the 7-Zark-7's of the cartoon world but not Snarf. Snarf was always a favorite for me
*Looper"* _insults Snarf_
*Me:* _tears off shirt_
*Me:* "you fuckin wut m8?"
So Thundercats is actually a story about the last human on Earth fighting a valiant and heroic fight to protect his home from myriad alien invaders.
Inspiring.
There's a few other humans left on Third Earth but yeah. Mumm-Ra is the good guy.
You 2 must be kidding.
Are you devil worshippers?!
The Thundercats series were a bit of galactic historic fact.
Nope, that ugly looking monster is actually of reptilian/vampire origin.
Be very careful of what you invoke…
Even as a kid, it blew my mind that the entire cast of characters spent the first episode naked, except for cat fur.
Yes. I wasn't quite 9 years old, and I questioned that.
I always took it that 3rd Earth was in reference to the Earth being the 3rd planet from the sun, like how in Star Trek they call planets Rigel 4. How they knew to call it Earth? Who knows.
Original meaning of the world earth is ground, the very ground we walk on. Then the idea of planet dawned on the human race, so earth became Earth, the Planet Earth. So take this as in the native tongue of Thundercats, they called their home planet Earth too; and when they landed on a new planet, it's logical they call the new planet Earth too.
@@siewheilou399 LOL maybe the Thundercats' word for planet is earth, so it's like saying we are living on 3rd planet (from the sun) now. Interesting.
Of course, the Thundercats wouldn't be speaking English, but Thundarian, and it gets translated for us as viewers.
I always thought names like Rigel 4 and Rigel 3 were referring to how many other Rigel-named planets there were and why they federation people didn't just come up with other names. Eg, this one is called Rigel. The next one, instead of saying it's Rigel 2, should be... Voldem...well, we can't say that name.
@@pershop4950 Rigel would be the name of the star system/solar system. Rigel 1 would be the first planet closest to the central star in the Rigel system. It may have its own name as a planet as well. Our planet is Earth (really called Terra) but Earth is also called Sol 3 because we are in the Sol system and our sun's name is Sol and we are the third planet away from Sol.
In that sense, Rigel must be the name of the central star that is the sun in the Rigel system.
As a kid, I sure noticed She-Ra & her little white mini-skirt.
ThatguyNice yea and i remember getting a stiff when they showed her panties underneath as she jumped
A few years ago DC did a comic mini series with a Thunder Cats and He-Man cross over that was surprisingly excellent. I appreciate that they assumed the reader would be familiar with the properties instead of spending three issues explaining who the characters are.
Man, I totally thought this was about certain jokes or wayward glances between Cheetara and Tigra. Though, to be fair, Lion-O being like 12 was a constant plot point, due to him being quick to anger and impatient. Also, despite his flaws, Snarf actually bailed them out of some shit, more than a few times, thereby proving himself a valuable member of the group.
both as a kid growing up and as a teenager rewatching it during the early days of Toonami, I noticed all of that
as a fan, I could have easily pointed out more than you did, like how Thundercats explicitly stated that gold has absolutely no value outside of what people ascribe to it (Thundercats being one of the few kids cartoons to point out how money has an arbitrary value) or how there's a whole colony of Amazons, excuse me Warrior Maidens, who have managed to thrive in spite of being exclusively female
there are other things that could be pointed out besides those
also, it's easy to take a dump on Snarf, but "Snarf Takes Up The Challenge" basically kills those arguments
now Snarfer on the hand has no redeeming qualities, he's just a younger, more annoying version of Snarf
Gold is an excellent conductor, and very resistant to corrosion. If they mentioned that, we could have actually learned science in that episode.
On Napoleon's dueling pistols, some strategic parts and accessories were gold-plated so they would never rust.
You have a point about the Warrior Maidens. Eventually I wondered where little Warrior Maidens came from. They never explained that, and maybe it was a missed opportunity.
Also, they were the only humans on Third Earth besides Mumm-Ra.
When I was a kid, this shows theme opening always got me so hyped up. I'm in the UK and I always remember it being on a Thursday on CBBC with Philip Schofield in the broom cupboard.
Now your going back. Philip and Gordon the Gopher😂🤣😂😂😂
The 80's was the best nothing will ever be like it!
You mean 90s
@@jeanlouis2068 The show ran from 1985-1989.
@@EgadsNo Albeit the cartoon ran from 1985 to 1989 season 1 consisted of 65 episodes and season 2 was originally suppose to be 60 episodes but was broken down and extended to 3 seasons consisting of 20 episodes each! So that is why and how we got 4 seasons!
There's actually an episode where Snarf saved all of the Thundercats in Mumm-Ra's pyramid.
I’d forgotten it was all Jaga’s fault...how could he have known that hurdling the equivalent of 1000 nuclear warheads into a volcano would have catastrophic effects...😏
Actually Snarf is more capable and cunning then what most give him credit for. He's also the show's emotional anchor.
On some occasions it's he who saves the day, that is, when all the other 'Cats are out of commission for whatever reason.
@@Robidu1973 Indeed.
As in the episode when Snarf is offered to retire and return to the nearest Snarf colony it nearly breaks my heart at seeing how heartbroken both he and Lion-Oh seem.
I always looked ar Snarf as "Comedy Relief". All great stories have that element!
In one episode when Mumrah had all Thunder Cars kidnapped and nearly mummified Snarf overcame all fears and saved them all, and Lion o boldly told Mumrah he underestimated the bravest of all Thunder Cats, Snarf, as bravery is not about having no fear but overcoming them.
Yup Snarf Was Cold In His Own Right Rite Ryte
I'd love to see a Mumm-Ra origin story where he destroys First Earth and constantly battles his good counterpart Mumm-Rana over control of Second Earth.
Everyone who watched all the episodes AND the movie set between the two seasons know this stuff. You aren't telling us anything Thundercats fans don't know.
So they had thunder cats , silver hawks , and tiger sharks , land air and sea covered
Haha, or all three in Centurions.
Anthony Sforza power extreme!!!!
Don't forget ninja turtles in the shadows
That was honestly, interesting. I grew up in the 80's watching that cartoon and didn't know that some of these facts were how the shows background went. Pretty cool.
"Ancient spirits of Evil, transform this decayed form, to _Mumm-Ra,_ the _EVER..._ *LIVING!"*
Someone had to say it.
That moment when u consider Mum-Rah is only the villain by perspective. Like he’s the last human and earth has been over run by aliens and the planet looks terrible. Mother Earth destroyed. I’d be mad too.
Hell yeah
Thundercats had elements of Star Wars and Superman, mixed with classic 80s Japanese animation. Intriguing storylines, amazing voice work, and memorable good and evil characters make Thundercats the quintessential 80s cartoon.
Snarf re-appeared years later as Jar Jar Binks.
1999 called, they want their bitching about Jar Jar Binks is cool period back, and STFU.
Really liked the animation in these 1980's shows. They started getting lazy in later years.
That's because they were done by Japanese/Korean studios and therefore are essentially anime. Then they started wanting to save money and began using American or other lesser country animation studios and the quality suffered greatly.
Carnage6X 🗣Woow❗️,😃thats Interesting ‼️🤔💭
blame them sending the animation work to so called america. looked like crap when they did it but when handled in japan it looked amazing i believe.
If you have time check out the short lived remake of this series it's actually good they gave back stories to the other cats. Can't say the same for the new thunder cats it looks awful.
@@maosama3695 Αwful puts it mildly////////////////
I think it was in Mumm-Ra's very first appearance that he declared that he had been around 'since the world was called First Earth.'

When you get morning wood:
"Why I, I've grown"

I got the moves like Jaga.

They aren't hidden in any way so.... anyone with functioning eyes noticed them.
I also noticed how they could breathe in space.
“Snarf Snarf!” Greatest line in the show.
Up there with yee
I love Snarf and I never thought he was annoying. I think many viewers don't consider that as Liono's nanny, and knowing he's literally a "big kid" he's expressing concern for his success because he's been with him from Day 1 since he was a child and mentally he's still a child. Snarf is very aware of that, so he worries.
no Ancient Spirts of evil was, Snarf sux ass & ruined the cartoon, he is the worst side kick of all time.
This actually changed the way I look at the world. I LOVED that show as a kid but had no idea why.
I love Cheetara’s outfit, I soooo want to replicate and wear it! I’d love to cosplay as her.
Orange Unitard, iron on Eye of Thundara decal, cut the leg off of a semi-transparent pare of orange tights........ Of course other than the unitard I think most of it is her skin/fur coloring so if you are any good with body paint. Then you just need a staff, broom handle should work well enough.
Travis Smith I would prefer her classic outfit with yellow full body tights, an orange cross back strap leotard or one piece swimsuit, the Thunder Cats decal, orange boots, the wig, makeup, and orange gloves with fur and claw details. As for the staff the broom handle could work of painted and cut properly. Right now I haven’t the funds for it. But thank you, though.
I loved He-Man, She-Ra, Bravestar, Robotech and Thundercats.
Yup! You can find all those songs on here
Bravestarr was the cartoon my mind harkened back to when I first read Stephen King’s The Gunslinger
G.I JOE !!!
@@QuartuvLarry The Dark Tower series was awesome. Bravestar reminds me of The Wolves of Cala.
They should have made a crossover with SilverHawks, would've been awesome

I loved silver hawks also
Always wanted to see that!
Different time lines as Earth was still populated with humans.
@@scorpion251970 I don't think so, never heard or read anything about it, despite the two series were animated by the same studio
This was always my favorite cartoon as a kid. I didn't think He-man / Masters of the Universe, Transformers, or really any other cartoon that existed when I was growing up held up in plot, sometimes characters, and especially the quality of the animation. It was pretty clear - long before I knew anything about animation and the process of making it / things like studio funding, that Thundercats must have had a larger budget than normal for the time, because they used fairly advanced cinematography techniques (like depth of field) that you didn't really see in cartoons of that time - at least not very often. Thundercats had it throughout.
I just liked cats, and I thought the plot-lines were cool. It's also one of the only ones that still seems relatively watchable - still has a sense of purpose - after watching it as an adult. I can't say that about much other childhood entertainment.
Has anyone question why many of the characters use close quarters weapons when the primary races are of advanced civilizations? Example Monkeyian uses a spiked mace while Panthero uses numchucks
Wait a minute doesn't Monkian shield shoot ?
" Ancient Spirits of Evil, transform this decayed form to Mumm-ra the Ever-Horny " 😅
There was a comic series published that was kind of like that. lol Lion-O disappeared, and Mumm-Ra enslaved the remaining Thundercats. Cheetara was tossed in the dungeons for the Mutants to "play with", and the Thunder Kit and Thunder Kat were Mumm-Ra's slaves. It was pretty bad, even if everything was more or less implied.
@@markchristensen4991 Thundercats: The Return. Wilykit was washing the nekked Mumm Ra. I thought it was a great series.
So this is more like "Details about Thunder Cats that people can find out on Wikipedia".
Hell half of this vid was just episode 1.
@@lastwolflord That's probably what they did; they watched ThunderCats 1x01, liked it so much they binged some more & wanted to create a summary of it.
Then someone else who had no idea what was going on coughed up an arbitrary lurid title for the video when they uploaded it.
Snarf is always saving the day. I disliked this video how dare you criticising him
@chillchi They lumped in Orko and Snarf with Scrappy to make it seem like they had a point. I don't care what you name the show Scrappy was annoying. The entire reason the 1st live action Scooby made Scrappy the villain was because he had been voted the most annoying character ever on Scooby.
When they renamed it with Scrappy in the title that only made the show worse. He was a whiny distraction for the team when he originally appeared. When they reformatted the show it was just him Shaggy and Scooby running from real ghosts and monsters.
@chillchi my mistake I read it as saying Scrappy fit in the show, since his name's in the title.
Snarf saved them like 4 major times. Orko was one of the most powerful beings in the HeMan universe. Whom also saved the day a few times. When Orko turned evil he had ERRRRRRRRRY ONE SHOOK! But the info of the video was cool.
Why IS everyone hating on Snarf? Snarf is a Thundercat!!!!!!
If you don't believe me then ask the Lord of the Thundercats himself!!!!!!
The Sword of Omens has a vertical eye, like a cat.
I had a crush on Cheetara back in the day.
Whoever invented that Snarf character should be punished severely for crimes against humanity.
Cheetara and The female from Squadron Supreme(1980's) when I was a kid. I will just leave it at that.
Amen, brother.
No love for She-ra?
Jupp
Cheetara was my favorite character.
and it must be your drag name now?
so was she breeding all the male Thundercats or was she sneeking off the get some Mumm-Ra
@@EMMETTCULLENHALE oh she and the Tiger were an item
This along side Ulysses 31 & Defenders of the Earth & Jace & the wheeled Warriers were the best Toons

I think captain avatar and the crew of the space battleship yamato beg to differ.
There's some guy named "Venger" at the door. Wants to talk to you.
All cartoons of the 80s were the best.
I liked Visionaires as well. Or Robotech.
The one thing I noticed the most as an adult is that its so obvious they only have like three or four people voicing all the characters, and if you marathon the show it starts to get kinda irritating.
"Snarf is annoying" is definitely not something only adults notice about Thundercats.
That one dislike is a fan of the new Cartoon Network’s Thundercats.
Yeah and we all know these new CN remake shows are 💩
That Thundercats show was pretty good though.
There’s a new one?
It only lasted one season but I loved it. There’s room on third earth for both series.
Thundercats roar. It’s basically the teen titans go version.
“Sword of Omens, give me sight beyond sight!”
I thought the video was going to be about sexual innuendos or something like that hahaha
5:10, pause the video andcheck the tag and then the still
They didn't wanna say the show was a paid program for Viagra. Mumm Ra and the Mutants only wanted Lion-O's sword because they were impotent.
This way great and as a huge ThunderCats fan I appreciate appreciate! this so much this triggered so many suppress memories kudos😵💫😎😎💪🏽💪🏽
Funnily enough, in the Spanish version, it's planet it's called "third planet" and not "third Earth" because it was the third planet of a solar system lighted by a little star, with enough potential to have live.
This, my friends, should become a movie!
130 episodes total and it was a classic show that is just awesome. Larry Kenney, Lynn Lipton, Peter Newman, Earle Hyman, Earl Hammond, Bob McFadden were amazing in their respective roles. The story is of course the light vs. darkness. The future is post apocalyptic with humans being extinct. Earl Hammond pulled double duty with Jagga and Mumm-Ra.
Thanks for putting this together, what a fun blast from the past!
It was 2006 before I was rocked by the realization that Thundercats and Silverhawks were by the same people.
