'THE GARDEN OF DELIGHTS' THUNDERCATS RETRO TOON REVIEW | Double Toasted

[@starbrand3726]

Also, in the first episode, the Thundercats walked around completely naked. They didn't get clothes until just before crashing on Third Earth.

[@anthonyleach7608]

After all these years the ThunderCats theme song is still fire

[@thelodownshow313]

Agreed

[@billlyons7024]

That guitar riff they play over the credits is also pretty insane.

[@quincyblaze101]

Matter of fact majority of the cartoons from the 80's and early 90's had the best themes.

[@keldorthebluemack]

This and Masters of the Universe you literally get chills after watching the intros when you haven't watched in years

[@Paranormal718]

Thunder Cats were before my time, but my uncles put me on when I was mad young. Rented some episodes from Blockbuster and I couldn't front...chills inducing with that opening. Up there with Batman: The Animated Series (my personal favorite), X Men and the Amazing Spider-Man.

[@ashtonturner2862]

80s cartoons were on another level for sure.

[@krisj827]

Facts

[@WetWater10]

The Thundercats logo had no business being that cool

[@alwaysemployed656]

All the merchandise were amazing, because of the logo. The board games, books, posters, puzzles, coloring books all had stunning looking cover art. The action figures were very tacky and cheaply made. I remember my Lion-O AA-Battery ring to light his eyes broke after several days of use.

Thundercats, Herculoids, Centurions, Birdman, G force, Swat Cats pre Toonami days on Cartoon Network. Them and Nickelodeon were killing it back in the day Edit: Silverhawks, Voltron, Space Ghost and Ronin/Samurai Warriors too

I saw these on Cartoon Network back in the day. Thundercats and Superman crossed over in the comics too!

[@billlyons7024]

Ok so here is some undiscussed Thundercats lore that I think I picked up on. The planet they are on is called "Third Earth", but I believe it is our Earth in the future. Mumm Ra actually drops some hints here and there about how he was there since it was "First Earth". So maybe Mumm Ra is an Egyptian mummy? That's my head cannon anyway.

[@THEWRESTLERSWRESTLER]

Ur RIGHT. Mumm Ra IS based off of n Egyptian mummy. InFACT Thundercats itself has borrowed ALOT of its elements from African sprituality. Da cats lier is based off of Egyptian sphinx. Da eye of Thundera is based off of horus. Da powers dat Lion-o gets from da sword r powers dat da early Egyptians had wen they had opened there 3rd eye. Also da idea dat Mumm Ra recharged himself in his pyramid is not 2 far fetched. Da Egyptians did use 2 draw lightnin from da sky tru da pyramids. Xplains y battery's were found in pyramids.

[@brianoconnell6459]

Oh yeah, if you want it to be particularly creepy, the first episode, everyone was NAKED. They added some seamlines to make it look like they were wearing unitards, but no, no. That's like humans wearing flesh colored unitards and the first thing that comes to mind is they're naked.

[@Rhiorrha]

Just like actual cats: internal genitals.

[@THEWRESTLERSWRESTLER]

N THERE IT IS. I KNEW SUM1 WOULD bring up da fact dat they were butt azz NAKED in da 1st episode lol

[@krisj827]

I love Thundercats to this day. I want DT to do more cartoon reviews on this show.

[@tron9683]

As much as I loved Thundercats, the show did NOT age well at all. It's a shame that the show didn't keep the same quality as the opening, which is still amazing over 30 years later.

[@JerseyNYC83]

A lot of the 80s cartoons didn’t keep the same animation quality throughout the show after the opening. G.I. Joe and Transformers were a good example of great openings but subpar animation in the actual episode.

[@didgya]

I was going to say the same lol. I've noticed that even sillier cartoons like He Man aged much better imo ☺️

[@JerseyNYC83]

@@didgya He-Man and She-Ra’s animations were fluid but they reused the same shots in every episode

[@taco1958]

We still need that Blade 2 retro review yall the best movie channel ever ...keep it up

[@dramakingnyc937]

... Technically it's called "The Sword of Omens"..... "The Eye of Thundera" gets placed on the center of the sword giving it additional powers.

Oh, he was messed up BAD, there. He lost all kinds of weight, his clothes were hanging off him, he had black circles under his eyes. Man, that dude looked like he was messing with smack. He's the poster boy for Third Earth's rehab clinic. Oddly enough he's the only one who's ever in there.

[@Falcovsleon21]

This wouldn't be the last time Tygra got high on experimental substances. The short lived 2011 reboot also had him act out of character due to a substance that got slipped into his drink.

[@bearerofbadnews1375]

The hypothetical reboot Thundercats roar the Tygra in that non existent show was a straight man to the team’s nonsense. That version really needed a drink and experimental substances.

[@brianoconnell6459]

The show came out around the same time as Cartoon All Stars To The Rescue, or at least within a year or two, when they were cramming anti drug messages into everything, Saved By The Bell's "I'm so excited" ep that's still a meme, Dinosaurs' anti drug ep where they asked "Can we start being funny again?" (never funny to begin with), and so on.

[@Rhiorrha]

Ok, your name...is it a coincidence or did you have art in couple niche comics in the 90's? From Antarctic Press?

Regan’s War on Drugs was the reason for episodes like this.

Reagan was right. Don’t do Drugs! Just say no!

[@bearerofbadnews1375]

Thundercats is strange but a classic. The 2011 series had a lot of potential unfortunately it was cancelled. And the repackaging of it in Lego Chima. Then nothing else came from thudercats since then and u think there is well you were probably hallucinating.

[@billlyons7024]

Yeah I liked the 2011 series and was bummed when it got cancelled, especially since it was on a cliffhanger.

YUP. Rankin Bass had a hand in this show. Hell, in the remake, they use "Rankinbass" as a magic word.

Rankin Bass was responsible for this and Silverhawks as well. Kinda crazy, the folks who made your favorite Christmas cartoons also made this.

Bravestarr episode ''The Price'' was about as real as it culd get for an 80s cartoon dealing with drug issues

[@Rhiorrha]

I hope they cover the drug episode of Bravestarr, "The Price". The kid DIES in that episode.

[@randall-thehorrorwriter]

The cartoon Bravestar did this so good that it pretty much got the show cancelled. Kids were doing an actual drug I think it was called Crystal Twist, and Marshal Bravestar wasn't there in time to save him. Yeah, a kid died from an overdose on an afternoon kids cartoon. I feel it was more impactful because it was a kid that died showing kids that they will not live forever.

[@cecilwindbush6047]
