I remember watching this episode after school I use to run home to watch Thundercats, but this was the first time I seen the Sword Of Omens get beat I was shocked!.
This is one of the FEW times the sword is actually used AS A SWORD. The fact that actually have a SWORD-FIGHT (as opposed to blasting each other with light-beams) make it even rarer...
This was and still is one of my all time favorite episodes of thundercats. I loved King Arthur and the Knights of the round table as well as the story of Excalibur when I was growing up. When I first saw this episode it was like crazy exciting because here I had excalibur and thundercats with the sword of omens. I was actually cheering for excalibur in that swordfight. ☺☺😜😜
Panthro was basically like a big favourite uncle. He'd allow you the freedom to make your own judgements and when things don't work out, he'll call you a d!ck but say you know better now for the future.
@@PsychomachineryEBM Well he was still immature at this point. Remember physically he's and adult but he lost like 10 years or so due to the malfunction with his pod causing him to still age. This was actually an episode that aired during the anointment trials and thus was either set before or shortly after he became the True Lord.
Definitely a top ten episode this one. Awesome seeing ‘Arthur’ come in and school ‘Lord’ Lion-o and there are some moments of sheer brilliance. The glove slap, stepping on lion-o’s shoulder as he gets off his horse...back-handing Snarf in the face (we all wanted to do that) and best of all, the gorgeous freeze frame animation you see at 0.51 and during the jousting. We were so lucky to have this show when we were kids
@Smokey 420 Arthur was not killed by Lancelot. He was mortally wounded in battle with Mordred, then had Bedevere cast Excalibur back into the lake it came from, and was taken to the Isle of Avalon by Morgause and her sisters, there to sleep until he is again needed. Or so the legend goes.
For some reason this was my favorite episode. Probably because this was as close as Mummra ever got to kicking lion-Os ass. Sorry sometimes I just need to see the bad guy wins because you know he has enough power to do it....
Thats actually a cool idea, I never thought of it like that 🤔 I've watched it over again a few times, and whilst it's a cool idea for sure, I don't actually think that's what's happening. It very much, in my opinion, looks like Excalibur is genuinely blasted back the Eye of Thundera, and in the moment feels how powerful it is, and then once the Sword follows up with another energy blast which has Excalibur has to dodge, Excalibur realises how strong the Sword of Omens is and needs to end the fight, so uses that last dodge to circle around and line up the shot it needs - which is to stab it in the only exposed power source it has, which is the Eye. And it takes that short, stabs it, and wins. That's just my opinion though, and it feels more dramatic that way. Such an awesome episode though, season 1 of Thundercats had the best episodes by far in my opinion
There was one that was (arguably) even greater: *Durandal,* the holy sword of the original and greatest Paladin, Roland. (In terms of power comparison in fantasy, in Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Excalibur was anywhere from +3 to +5 while Durandal was the only +7 sword in the game!)
Earth's most powerful magic sword vs Thundera's most powerful magic sword. Naturally Excalibur won because it had the home turf advantage. Excalibur saw The Sword Of Omens as an alien invader without knowing it was on the side of righteousness.
I swear Thundercats may have been the most pro-masculine cartoon on television in the 1980s, outside of maybe GI Joe. I swear to God, half of Lion-O's battles/contest were more about honor than good vs. evil.
The fact that you consider honor a masculine trait, rather than it being a HUMAN one says a something about your way of thinking... IMO, many women seem deficient in character... Ask a woman is she would ever apologize for being wrong, see what she says....LOL
I like it after the battle when Excalibur knows what it's done and refuses to be pulled out the ground by mumm-ra because it is like the sword of omens
I recall seeing this and figured that the swords would merge as one at the end - combining the power. Two things I want to point out. 1 Since it was returned to the Lady of the Lake, I guess that means the real King Arthur has yet to return ( He won't live long upon arising again, one look at what is world has become, he'll die of heart failure immediately🏰🏚️😵💔⚰️). 2. Since, the Lake was so close, that means that the Thundercats most likely live in or near, what was once Britain.
Weirdly, if that's true then it's surprising that an ancient Egyptian pyramid is right there. I'm not a geography nerd but I thought Egypt was pretty far from the UK.
i know this is old comment but im going to reply any ways short answer NO, after he was mummified mumra was banished from our earth to 2nd earth and 3rd earth is 2nd earths future. as for talking to the lady of the lake in some myths its said you can speak with the lady from any lake or it was a simple over site on the writing staffs part and they didnt know.
@@Jason5818UI it that were true then the Sword of Omens would have won the fight. We saw them fighting at their best and Excalibur won. Therefore it proved it was more powerful
@@jduttskywalker nah by example superman is arguably the most powerful hero and he has kryptonite as a weakness and so he can be physically superior to his opponent but if they get kryptonite no matter how weak or stronger they are they can kill superman
I'd never trust an Arthur who had the voice of Mumm-Ra lol! This reminded me of that *Dungeons & Dragons* episode when Venger disguised himself as an heroic Knight; sure he was saying to about the children, "You owe them no mercy!" but he was saying it with the voice of *Optimus Prime!* That's got to be at least a -3 penalty on the saving throw to resist his charm!
Lion - o should have known when he saw that sword, that he had no change. The shear power of that beam would have force me to surrender the fight. Even as the sword of Omens beams was active, shear power of the Excaliber sworn was forcing him back. This was one of the best episodes that I ever seen.
I see what you mean, but it's a bit of an exaggeration to say "no chance'. The fight itself proved the Sword of Omens had a very strong chance, given that most of the fight was a stalemate. And the red beam from the Eye of Thundera that hits Excaliburs blade at the beginning of the fight does cause Lion-O to slide back yes, but it also stops Excalibur in its tracks too. So , again, I think it was done deliberately to show they were very evenly matched, otherwise there would be no dramatic tension or stakes for duel. You need to have both swords have a chance of beating the other for it to be exciting or tense.
@@ch_ard1369 Excalibur is bigger (longer and wider). It power is not the eye! It is the entire sword. The episode shows what Excalibur can do. It can literally destroy a castle and change the whole scenery. It has magic capabilities. The Sword of Omens is mainly a battle sword. It lacks the magical powers that Excalibur has. Even the Pharaoh episode proved it weakness.
@@ch_ard1369I had to watch it again. He was never pushed back from the power of the Sword Omens. Lionel is young and immature. That was part of the story line. He put his whole entire team in jeopardy. He had no knowledge of what he was up against. He let his emotions rule him, which almost caused his life and his crew. The Exculiver sword is the most powerful sword of the universe. It wasn't about who was going to win. It was more about Lionel's inability to lead the Thunder cats.

@@qolspony you're making stuff up now and talking rubbish. Firstly, Excalibur isn't bigger than SoO. They're depicted as being basically the same size. Secondly, Excalibur didn't destroy an entire castle and change the scenery. The castle itself changed due to the magic of the evil sorcerer/villain being defeated. Nothing was destroyed.

So saying the SoO is mainly a battle sword and lacks magical powers of Excalibur is not just ridiculous, it's completely factually wrong. It sounds as if you haven't actually watched any other episodes of the show to say something as stupid as that.
@@qolspony it depends at what point you're talking about - when it's liono wielding the sword and he fires a beam from the Eye, no it doesn't push Excalibur and mummra back - but it does stop Excaliburs blade in its tracks. You see mummras arms shaking and hear him struggling as he struggles to push it forward but he can't. This is when you see liono slide back in the mud. So they stalemate each other at that point. The time Excalibur does get pushed back by the SoO is at the end of the battle and they are in the air, when it does the same energy blast from the Eye again - you see Excalibur get stopped in its tracks, then it gets thrown back through the air a considerable distance. Wasn't making any comment about the moral of the episode, which was fairly clear even as a child that it's about liono being too impulsive and quick to anger, they literally state what the moral is at the end of the episode.
Man that bring back a lot of memories from my childhood back in 1985 Lionel sword of omens versus Excalibur sword back in ancient times where there's no technology exist is like two ninjas going at it only one Ninja can whoop the other ninjas butt that sound funny hope all the ThunderCats I love I got a crush on cheetara she is one pretty cheetah she run like lightning but she ever getting a foot race of Superman she'll lose that battle the Superman can fly around the world in 30 seconds he can out muscle anybody and he can walk around the world in less than 10 seconds he can bench press 2 million tons with ease well that's how strong Superman is and he got a great sense of kindness and a great sense of humor I knew that voice sound familiar that's the voice of Mama that evil mummy
There is an earlier episode where Mumm-ra makes a comment that he existed back in a time before the planet was called third earth, when it was known as first earth. So that was a hint right there. It's never explicitly stated in the show, but some have theorized Mumm-ra was an evil human priest from ancient egypt who worshipped the ancient evil egyptian gods(set, anubis, etc.)and then thousands of years passed while mumm-ra slept as a mummy in his sarcophagus, and at some point ww3 happened and destroyed most human life and civilization and technology. The few humans who survived went back to the stone age for the most part(except for a few pockets of humans such as Dr. dometone who either retained technology or regained it after ww3)and the planet earth was much different when the Thundercats arrived at the time the earth was known as third earth(the third era of some kind, which makes you wonder what second earth was like).

I’m sure there’s a part of the Arthurian Legend which says that Excalibur cannon be used for evil, much the same as “The Mystic Sword of Omens?” In fact that is when Arthur breaks Excalibur , when he uses it to fight Lancelot?
My theory is that Excalibur was deceived. Because Mumm-Ra shape-shifted into King Arthur. In fact, right after Mumm-Ra returned to his original appearance, and Excalibur turned against him.
Are there any other cartoons like thundercats from this era I mean, cartoons that were also partly japanese projects I know that this, Silverhawks, and Ulysses 31 were both cartoons that have japanese influence
You know these swords have a bone to pick with each other when they literally fly out of their wielders' hands and *duel mid-air.*
I wonder what happened 🤔 why would the Sword of omens Fight Excalibur 🤔 like that!
I have never watched thus one
Especially when Thunder Cutter and the Sword of Omens flat out refused to fight each other.
Wat Episode is this I know it’s the first season but Episode number
I remember watching this episode after school I use to run home to watch Thundercats, but this was the first time I seen the Sword Of Omens get beat I was shocked!.

To be fair, Cartoons back then were certainly a lot more imaginative. Compare that to the remake obsessed time period we live in now.
i give props to lion-o, he doesn't back down to anybody.

Best evil laugh in the history of bad guy's
That was a defeat for Thundercats as far as i can see. If Merlin didn't pull their asses out of the fire that would have been the end of it.
Yes. Home field advantage. If the battle had taken place on Thundera, the Sword of Omens would have prevailed.

There was one that was (arguably) even greater: *Durandal,* the holy sword of the original and greatest Paladin, Roland.

@@michaelpowell5266 Thinking about it, I would say Mum Ra if I had to choose. He has all the power of the spirits of evil. In the end it's Mum Ra.
'' then let your toy sword speak for you!''
Magical swords dogfighting, har har
now we needs he man
Shit... This was the last episode I ever saw as a kid. I literally thought all the thundercats were dead and that was it.
Man that bring back a lot of memories from my childhood back in 1985 Lionel sword of omens versus Excalibur sword back in ancient times where there's no technology exist is like two ninjas going at it only one Ninja can whoop the other ninjas butt that sound funny hope all the ThunderCats I love I got a crush on cheetara she is one pretty cheetah she run like lightning but she ever getting a foot race of Superman she'll lose that battle the Superman can fly around the world in 30 seconds he can out muscle anybody and he can walk around the world in less than 10 seconds he can bench press 2 million tons with ease well that's how strong Superman is and he got a great sense of kindness and a great sense of humor I knew that voice sound familiar that's the voice of Mama that evil mummy
The day when a good fight needed no reason to happen
I can't believe that he didn't know that mumm-ra
The cool thing this episode did was cement that this is Earth, far in the future.
There is an earlier episode where Mumm-ra makes a comment that he existed back in a time before the planet was called third earth, when it was known as first earth. So that was a hint right there. It's never explicitly stated in the show, but some have theorized Mumm-ra was an evil human priest from ancient egypt who worshipped the ancient evil egyptian gods(set, anubis, etc.)and then thousands of years passed while mumm-ra slept as a mummy in his sarcophagus, and at some point ww3 happened and destroyed most human life and civilization and technology. The few humans who survived went back to the stone age for the most part(except for a few pockets of humans such as Dr. dometone who either retained technology or regained it after ww3)and the planet earth was much different when the Thundercats arrived at the time the earth was known as third earth(the third era of some kind, which makes you wonder what second earth was like).
This is so awesome!! It has a sword fight...BETWEEN SWORDS!!!
0:41 - 0:43 “You insulted my honor....I demand satisfaction!!”

Stop doing satan's horns. Unless you want to end up in hell after passing away with the deciever satan for representing him . Denounce satan and his trademark horns and willingly accept God=Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior and personally confess your wrongdoings to Him and repent while there is time. We all must do it as sinners before it is too late.

What’s the name of this episode
Excalibur.
I’m sure there’s a part of the Arthurian Legend which says that Excalibur cannon be used for evil, much the same as “The Mystic Sword of Omens?” In fact that is when Arthur breaks Excalibur , when he uses it to fight Lancelot?
My theory is that Excalibur was deceived. Because Mumm-Ra shape-shifted into King Arthur. In fact, right after Mumm-Ra returned to his original appearance, and Excalibur turned against him.
Do you have the following seen when Merlin slapped Mumm-Ra and repaired the sword of omens??
Sorry, I don't. Wish I did . Love that part.
@@hernandez5472 ok. Thanks
Rakin Bass has done it again
Viejos tiempos!
Mummra went off on this episode
i am here to command YOU to fight for ME!! !!
Are there any other cartoons like thundercats from this era
I mean, cartoons that were also partly japanese projects
I know that this, Silverhawks, and Ulysses 31 were both cartoons that have japanese influence
yes , there is , Thundercats 2011.
But CN were idiots and cut it out for the sake of a LEGO cartoon
Silverhawks, by the same studio
The story and the characters design, was made by Americans. But the drawing to make the cartoon was made in Japan
Um dos melhores episódios
They took it outside....and then their blades took it even more to the outside on their own. . .man wtf did we use to watch when we were kids..... lol
Should've observed the 1000 Provisions of Excalibur.
That was a Japanese 70's anime moment at 0.53 min.
This was the shit back in the day
The two swords took it very personally.

The flying sword controlled by evil wins. Just like in real life
Does anybody know what the Lady of the Lake probably looked like?
