It used to really bother me that he’d never make the sword full length until shit really hit the fan. Dude, you don’t need to fight with a dagger you have a full length sword!!

I'm halfway curious what you were trying to communicate with this word vomit. On the other hand it might just be a glitchy bot.

The intro to this show.... Good Lord it's just perfect.

Loads of the intros to those 80s shows had really great animation and also cool title songs. Silver Hawks, Galaxy Rangers, Bionic Six (only found the German intro), to name just a few.

Galaxy Rangers was my jam as a kid. I still rock out to that intro during my workout. Its as good as the Rocky soundtrack for giving me that last mile second-wind.

Love that realistic movement animation style too. Even the reboot got a little cartoony.

As a child, the ThunderCats of the 80's were the bomb. Rewatching it... it was awful. It was TV for ADD kids.

"We're going to to the place to do the thing!"

"Are we going to the place to do the thing?"

"Yes, we're going to the place to do the thing!"

"Where should we do the thing?"

"At the place!"

"We're at the place! Now do the Thing!"

Good grief it was hard to rewatch any of this as an adult.

The first episode and premise of the 2011 series was awesome. The animation felt very Avatar: Last Air Bender. The entire setup seemed like it could have been deeply entertaining and nuanced. And then it went to complete shit. They set the stage for some interesting story lines, then just proceeded to shit all over the place. The animation went downhill. The story was bland and uninteresting. Everything just went straight to garbage. I was so displeased.

The 2011 series was mishandled into cancelation.

I think ThunderCats holds up better than the original He-Man.

The character animation made me question the characters sexuality. They just look very gender fluid, like they're all bi. There was this one episode where Lion-o had to go through some trials and the first one was he had to get past/satisfy Panthro. I was very young when watching these episodes so it was hard to put these observations into a detailed narrative, but I felt like those two were going to make out at the end of the episode or something. I totally wanted to do Cheetara, though.

It's the same thing with He-Man. Watching the original cartoon as an adult, all the characters look gay as hell, like some gachi muscle bound leather gay club scene. A lot of the camera angles were very suspect too. Like the jump roll into the between the legs landing camera angle. Super gay cartoon.

Are you talking about the four or five trials he had to do WITHOUT using the Sword of Omens? I think he had to fight Panthro hand to hand combat in the first trial, race Cheetara in another, and the other two were competing against Tygra, Wily Kit and Wily Kat, and IIRC, he even makes a visit to Mumm-Ra?

If anyone is familiar with the Skrillex song Levels take a listen and tell me if I'm crazy. I would swear one of the repeated scrambled lyrics in that song is Lion-o's favorite exclamation "By Jaga". Second opinions would be appreciated.
