Things Only Adults Notice In Thundercats

[@Looper]

What other things have you noticed in animated shows from the past?

[@NickVanos]

I have noticed that the animated shows from the past also came with character building themes that made that generation wanted to be the best that they can. Solving crime, fighting bad guys, helping the poor, sharing, etc. These days the themes are so dumb, kids only learn how to be annoying most of the time.

[@TheACcam]

The most interesting thing about the show to me is that it had a villain that had already won before the show started. The whole reason why Earth is in the state it's in is because of Mumm-Ra. He is the ruler of the planet. Not a ruler in the typical way one means, but ruler in the sense that the planet went according to Mumm-Ra's will, weather the inhabitants were aware of it or not. Compare that to the likes of Megatron, Cobra Commander, and so on.

Snarf doesn't suck. For example, he's the protagonist of one of the best messages in the show: "you can be relevant even though you don't have great powers". The episode is called ‘’Snarf Takes up the Challenge". In the story, Snarf doesn't believe he can actually save all the Thundercats from Mumm-ra, because he doesn't have great intelligence, fight skills or strength, but he explores his talents (talking to creatures) and set free Lion-O and the others from Mumm-ha's hands. He stops being Lion-O's nanny since this become an adult. Several times the show shows us that Snarf is brave and takes action to protect the Thundercat's values.

Although we're weren't supposed to root for Mumm Ra, with eternal life and seemingly infinite powers at his disposal, he should have been able to easily pick off the Thundercats. Of course, there wouldn't be a cartoon, but as an adult I've noticed that's a big flaw in the show's whole premise.

@@Hypestrike1 well, the sword of omens was pretty much a sentient magical being equalling mumm ra all on its own. But my point was the thundercats crash landed on a planet that was already in a natural homogenous stasis and proceeded to forcibly take it over as immigrants and supplant the natural denizens already living there for thousands of years. They were essentially the conquistadors or early American settlers all over again. Mumm Ra would've peacably slept for thousands of more years if they hadn't invaded and the mutants were the natural inhabitants of the Earth in that cartoon. Granted, they didn't have much of a choice but when you think about it, they weren't really the good guys either.

both as a kid growing up and as a teenager rewatching it during the early days of Toonami, I noticed all of that as a fan, I could have easily pointed out more than you did, like how Thundercats explicitly stated that gold has absolutely no value outside of what people ascribe to it (Thundercats being one of the few kids cartoons to point out how money has an arbitrary value) or how there's a whole colony of Amazons, excuse me Warrior Maidens, who have managed to thrive in spite of being exclusively female there are other things that could be pointed out besides those also, it's easy to take a dump on Snarf, but "Snarf Takes Up The Challenge" basically kills those arguments now Snarfer on the hand has no redeeming qualities, he's just a younger, more annoying version of Snarf

Gold is an excellent conductor, and very resistant to corrosion. If they mentioned that, we could have actually learned science in that episode. On Napoleon's dueling pistols, some strategic parts and accessories were gold-plated so they would never rust.

Here is something I realized as an adult: I don't see how Liono's body could keep growing without food while improperly suspended. If he somehow did get nutrients it seems highly unlikely he would leave suspended animation with the muscular body he has.

[@alanstringer.]

I paused the video to look for this comment. I wish I could just go to sleep and wake up ripped!

[@KindlingKatalyst]

Yeah that's a goid point. However, gorillas look like that without 'working out' like human men do. And male lions are pretty ripped as well, despite doing little of the hunting. I assume both are due to high resting testosterone. Humans had a steep drop in testosterone during our evolutionary history compared to other apes because cooperation (instead of aggression) became increasingly advantageous, leading to large civilizations and collaborative inventions. So biologically a thundercat could just be more like a muscular lion/gorilla, and perhaps their society was also more contentious. They codified a king into law, sure. So biologically it seems at least plausuble, but the sticking point remains that he should have had an IV or a feeding tube in his nose.

Man, I totally thought this was about certain jokes or wayward glances between Cheetara and Tigra. Though, to be fair, Lion-O being like 12 was a constant plot point, due to him being quick to anger and impatient. Also, despite his flaws, Snarf actually bailed them out of some shit, more than a few times, thereby proving himself a valuable member of the group.

The story is of course the light vs. darkness. The future is post apocalyptic with humans being extinct. Earl Hammond pulled double duty with Jagga and Mumm-Ra.

I always took it that 3rd Earth was in reference to the Earth being the 3rd planet from the sun, like how in Star Trek they call planets Rigel 4. How they knew to call it Earth? Who knows.

[@siewheilou399]

Original meaning of the world earth is ground, the very ground we walk on. Then the idea of planet dawned on the human race, so earth became Earth, the Planet Earth. So take this as in the native tongue of Thundercats, they called their home planet Earth too; and when they landed on a new planet, it's logical they call the new planet Earth too.

[@dmangelsm1188]

@@siewheilou399 LOL maybe the Thundercats' word for planet is earth, so it's like saying we are living on 3rd planet (from the sun) now. Interesting. Of course, the Thundercats wouldn't be speaking English, but Thundarian, and it gets translated for us as viewers.

[@pershop4950]

I always thought names like Rigel 4 and Rigel 3 were referring to how many other Rigel-named planets there were and why they federation people didn't just come up with other names. Eg, this one is called Rigel. The next one, instead of saying it's Rigel 2, should be... Voldem...well, we can't say that name.

[@elimgarak7090]

@@pershop4950 Rigel would be the name of the star system/solar system. Rigel 1 would be the first planet closest to the central star in the Rigel system. It may have its own name as a planet as well. Our planet is Earth (really called Terra) but Earth is also called Sol 3 because we are in the Sol system and our sun's name is Sol and we are the third planet away from Sol.

In that sense, Rigel must be the name of the central star that is the sun in the Rigel system.

@chillchi They lumped in Orko and Snarf with Scrappy to make it seem like they had a point. I don't care what you name the show Scrappy was annoying. The entire reason the 1st live action Scooby made Scrappy the villain was because he had been voted the most annoying character ever on Scooby. When they renamed it with Scrappy in the title that only made the show worse. He was a whiny distraction for the team when he originally appeared. When they reformatted the show it was just him Shaggy and Scooby running from real ghosts and monsters.

This was always my favorite cartoon as a kid. I didn't think He-man / Masters of the Universe, Transformers, or really any other cartoon that existed when I was growing up held up in plot, sometimes characters, and especially the quality of the animation. It was pretty clear - long before I knew anything about animation and the process of making it / things like studio funding, that Thundercats must have had a larger budget than normal for the time, because they used fairly advanced cinematography techniques (like depth of field) that you didn't really see in cartoons of that time - at least not very often. Thundercats had it throughout. I just liked cats, and I thought the plot-lines were cool. It's also one of the only ones that still seems relatively watchable - still has a sense of purpose - after watching it as an adult. I can't say that about much other childhood entertainment.

[@Yoxiv]

It was pretty clear that Lion-O's skip through his teenage years was to give the young audience a similar power fantasy appeal like that of He-Man, of becoming a powerful warrior instantly. But where Adam would always revert after fighting as He-Man, Lion-O remained an adult full time. Of course as pointed out, the show did focus less and less on him still being a kid in a man's body, but it's pretty easy to see what the show makers were going for. And it's likely what played a part in the reboot's decision to have Lion-O be a teen, allowing him to have a more believable level of naivety as the show was aimed at both fans of the original and slightly older kids who wouldn't quite buy into the premise of the original series.

[@jessragan6714]

Why do you suppose Lion-O grew in suspended animation while Wilys Kat and Kit did not? I always presumed that Lion-O's capsule malfunctioned... maybe there was a leak in there or something.

[@Yoxiv]

@@jessragan6714 As I understand it, the capsules weren't perfect, and thus couldn't completely halt the aging of their occupants, just greatly delay it. In Lion-O's case, he somehow grew up faster than anyone would have expected, which I imagine may have implied some faulty tech, but it was never discussed beyond the reactions to Lion-O's adult form when everyone awakens after they arrive on Third Earth.
