He is just a little kid after all, so why not leave him alone in a room with a deadly weapon and the most annoying of all companions: Snarf? Suddenly the Thundercats are attacked by mutants from Plundarr, and Jaga locks Lion-O up in the room with the sword. Then Jaga tells all the other Thundercats that they're going to some strange new home where they'll finally have to put some damn clothes on and beat people with the fancy new weapons he just magicked into their hands. Apparently Lion-O will be able to look through the handguard of the sword and see stuff. Especially this "sight beyond sight" mystic mumbo jumbo the old man's going on about. Don't worry, it's not a literal eyeball, and I'm sure this will be important and explained later. Then Jaga, the only clothed Thundercat and some kind of feline Jedi, tells Lion-O he's Lord of the Thundercats now and shows him the Sword of Omens, which has the Eye of Thundera embedded in the hilt. Despite the fact that they are completely covered in fur, the whole naked thing makes me extremely uncomfortable. In case you don't already know, they are all anthropomorphized types of cats. Now that we're past the opening sequence, we get a nice shot of the home planet of the Thundercats, creatively named "Thundera," breaking up, and most of the thundercats are naked. It comes across as a bit of a mish-mash of stuff when you're unfamiliar with the characters, but I'm sure that, in time, the epilepsy-inducing opening sequence will make a little more sense. Wow, that theme song is definitely from the eighties. Now I'm a little worried about all of the messed-up things they're going to put on this show, and I already know that Snarf might be the most annoying thing ever drawn by overseas animators and given an even more annoying voice. Let me tell you, Wheaton's clips are waaaaaay more entertaining that the ones with the superfans. We were just watching the special feature on the DVD, which includes interviews with a couple of "superfans" and Wil Wheaton. If that's going to ruin your childhood memories, well.I'm a little worried about you, and maybe we should take you to that doctor that lets you draw pictures of your feelings.īack to the reviews, though. I am watching this with the eyes of an adult, and part of the fun is pointing out the idiosyncrasies and lapses in logic and continuity. I have no deep-seated love of this show, and if it's something sacred to you, navigate away now, because it's not sacred to me. He has fun reviewing the Dukes of Hazzard, a show he enjoys. I am actually doing this at the suggestion of my husband, who did watch the show in syndication as a child and liked it, and reviewing it also seemed like fun. Also, in 1985, I was four and probably shouldn't have been watching Thundercats anyway. To be perfectly honest, I did not watch Thundercats as a child for two reasons: I was a girl (still am, actually) and I was a little too young to pay attention to what show was on at what time in 1985-1989. Welcome to my blog where I review Thundercats episodes.
