MUMM-RA - All The Transformations (1985-88)

[@Elementaliti]

This is quite possibly the greatest villain ever written. Without a doubt it is one of the best voice acting performances ever.

[@mathematicalmuscleman]

Agreed!!

Not exactly the same line of dialog all the time.

[@1cruzian]

I know. Same dialog..same effect.. but watched it expecting something different

[@nothosaur]

After the 10th time... MummRa: "Ancient spirits of evil..." Evil sprits: "All right, all right...we know. Shut up, we're doing it."

[@wellesradio]

I think that’s why they started doing that dance. “You know, this is getting boring, guys.” “What do you suggest we do? We’re stuck here.” “We could take up a hobby.” “Like what? We never move unless this idiot calls on us to do his transform show thing.” “Hey, guys, speaking of which. Since we’re talking of “show” and all that. That reminds me of something I was thinking about. A hobby we could maybe take up.” “What is it?” “It’s just an idea I’ve been toying with.” “Let’s hear it. We got nothing better to do.” “Ok. Here goes....We could start our own dance troupe. The first ever all-statue dancing troupe.👯‍♀️ We could use this guy as an excuse to practice. He does it often enough that we’ll get good in no time. Then we ditch this place and make our own destiny!” “I’m in.” “So am I!” “That’s sounds pretty cool. I say we do it!” “ANCIENT SPIRITS OF EVIIIIILLL.....!”

@Jack Burton not all anime is bad lol. Watch some before talking dumbass

[@biscaynebrodie4990]

Same here

[@Hammern28]

I prefer old school anime when dwelling into that area. Now it is mostly stupid animations styles with kid characters who always seem to get super powerful the more they shout in dialogues that are utter shit. I find that 80's and some 90's stuff, had the best creativity, character ideas with some super creepy personality traits. Mumm-ra is one of the creepier characters, and one of my favs.

[@sugzinho]

but seriously when i was 6 this shit was fucking terrifying

[@mjrbm82]

soo right

[@MGSBigBoss77]

People were in their teen years and found this terrifying, seriously! Then think of the parents who the kids ran to and said they wanted Thundercat toys cos of that hit show, lol.

[@mookie714]

I like that one time he switched it up to "this ancient body"

[@AudaCity3371]

30 ++ yrs since I first heard that, and it still gives me the shivers.

[@onekilltwisk]

Shit. I missed that. At what time in the video..?

[@PreacherTHC]

Are you sure? Sure it's not when he said "Ancient spirits of evil transform this decayed form into Mumm-Ra the ever-living" with the slight inflection at the end?

[@Somnogenesis]

Holy shit. So much concentrated badassery, I need a lie down after watching that. And in all seriousness, Mumm-Ra the Ever-Living scared the ever-living crap out of me as a kid. Absolutely magnificent, undiluted evil. Huge kudos for putting this compilation together - and it lets you see how they got pretty creative with the stock footage, rarely doing the exact same sequence twice.

[@PeteDator]

That´s how I wake up every morning...

[@Rackleflackl001]

Fascinating how in the early ones the evil statues just laser-eyed him into his ever-living, while later on they got a bit more creative with the statues jumping around and dousing him with different types of energy. Guess ancient evil spirits get a bit bored and start becoming creative

[@tavarciare]

Rackleflackl yeah they get tired of being stoned

[@Ben-Oni-BT]

They decided to get more lit.

[@dregoth22]

In later episodes, he got a power boost, in one case he was enlarged like 100m tall,

[@coreaccount4376]

You are a bad man who made a bad comment. When I watched this video AFTER reading your reckless comment I nearly died laughing. I have a family.

[@fsmoura]

They should have stuck with the traditional one, which is much more realistic.

[@MrKevart66]

The greatest and most gloriously evil cartoon villain of all time! No way they could get away having a character this intense and scary these days.

[@TORAN2381]

He's arguably one of the best 80's cartoon villains of all time, because him along with Monstar another great villain used to scare the shit out of me when they do their transformations from back in the day.

[@0g0dn0]

TORAN2381 Monstar’s transformation sequence was badass too, it was almost better, even, but at the end of the day Mumm-ra was terrifying in his final form and Monstar, arguably, was not. He went into the transformation looking like a feral beast man ready to tear out your spine and he came out looking like a giant action figure, he actually became less scary the more powerful he was.

[@2atp]

I loved this show growing up, we still call our mother Mumm-Ra as a term of endearment to this day.

[@Hammern28]

Probably the most epic animated villain ever created.

[@eredior8674]

It's bc he was evil to the core. He hasn't any other goal that to make pure evil and disturb everyones lives.

[@RetroMaticGamer]

Erediör Well, sorta - he was driven by greed. His goal was to amass power for its own sake. Once he discovered any source of power besides his own, he had to have it, as was the case with the Eye of Thundera. I'd still agree that you don't get more evil than selling your soul for that kind of eternal self-serving power-mongering.

[@eredior8674]

Retro-Matic Gamer Exactly, it's like the US Goverment in movies and in some cases in real life.

[@wreathofpalmaria]

+Erediör more like North Korea.

Mumra's transformation and those horns in the background used to scare the ever living shit out of me when i was kid and I loved every minute of it lol.

[@MGillDesign]

It's weird, when I was a kid, I wasn't scared of Mumm Ra. Now, as an adult, I realize how evil this was, as he was summoning and getting his strength from demonic spirits.

[@303Thatoneguy]

It’s scary when you realize it’s post apocalyptic earth and Mum ra is the last human.

[@BrotherWulfe]

@@303Thatoneguy some form of human I guess

[@lamaahruloma4270]

There are real people summoning and getting their strenght fromm demonic spirits. It's no joke or fun. I am a doctor of medicine from Prague and the city and country around is weird. I had thousands of crazy cases with similar people and about 130-200 were really strange and beyond my education in the sciences. I was capable to make only hypothesis but never official. It has completely changed my worldview. Yes, it is true. I don't know if demons or spirits exist, but there are many unknown things in our science.

[@mathewhorodner2000]

I thought he sounded tired.

[@0g0dn0]

It is a good one, but the main sequence has shit flying apart in a maelstrom of evil with Mumm-ra at its center and there is nothing more badass than that. I knew they were just recycling animation, but how do you improve upon perfection?

Those which are still impressive, for no matter who, are the really great ones, like Unicron meeting Megatron, a large chunk of the never ending story, BraveStarr, Monstars transformation scene, much of Ulysses 31,...

[@Psyniigianni]

Mumm-ra had one of the most cold blooded transformations along with Monstar from Silver Hawks. Mumm-ra would gain 200% body mass at 6% bodyfat and all while being old as dirt 😂. I use to love this cartoons, that why I have all the seasons on DVDs.

[@SuperRodimusPrime]

Frank Brazil Whether or not the show was American made wasn't even the issue. You tried to talk shit about America for having a show like this. You pretty much implied that a show like this is the reason for America being what it is. The problem with your statement is that, as I said, this show aired in multiple countries. It's aired in Japan, Mexico, Canada (which is where I'm from), and several other countries. Trying to use a show like this to make blanket statements about a country is both childish, and ignorant.
