![]() The actual plot of the episode (Tygra wanders into a cave that prematurely ages him, and a cure must be found to restore his youth before he dies) is decent. This episode introduces us to the Warrior Maidens, who did not get nearly enough screentime in this series. Here’s the thing… you crash land on a planet and start attracting all kinds of trouble, and you know what? Not everyone’s going to like you. That said, this episode really gives each character a moment to shine in the action department, introduces some of the character themes in the score that we came to love, and provides a great thematic contrast between how the Mutants built their new home (slave labor) and how the ThunderCats built theirs (enlisting the aid of new neighbors through goodwill and social symbiosis). Power Rangers: Ranking All 28 Seasons By Shamus Kelley I’ve never had neighbors that good (I almost just typed that as neighbots, and I’m now convinced this easy-to-make error is how the writers got the idea to make the Berbils robotic, because there is nothing about it in the series bible). They’re the perfect neighbors agreeable, low-maintenance, and always willing to lend a hand. Let’s face it, the Berbils were basically cutesy, pacifist Ewoks, but it’s kind of hard not to like them. The ThunderCats meet their new neighbors, a cute, peaceful species that seems robotic, but may not be because they have children and agriculture. “Exodus” is a fantastic prologue, but this episode sets the tone for the rest of the series, certainly the dynamics of the first season. Far as I can tell they didn’t mutate from animals or humans into the humanoid hybrids they are they’re just other species like the Thunderians) lose their exit strategy when the desert swallows their spacecraft, and are forced to forge an alliance with Mumm-Ra, the devil priest of Third Earth. The Mutants (I always hated that they were called that. THE UNHOLY ALLIANCE (Season 1, Episode 2) And all I can say is that the 80s were a very different time, a time when paranoid, killjoy parents and media watchdog groups insisted upon groupthink and ham-fisted “just say no” and stranger danger episodes, but bare breasts on a syndicated kids’ show were fine. Yeah, they’re cats and we didn’t see any genitals, but like… they’re actually naked. Seriously, though, the whole naked thing is not that big a deal and is certainly not of interest because it’s erotic (at least not to me, feel free to dissent in the comments), but because it’s is utterly amazing that the show got away with having all the main character buck-ass nude in the debut episode of an animated children’s show. Because it’s the episode of ThunderCats where everyone is naked, an episode that likely played a not-small role in creating a generation of furries. Because it’s a fun standalone science fiction short that manages to successfully introduce and properly characterize 11 characters in roughly 22 minutes. EXODUS (Season 1, Episode 1)īecause it’s the pilot. So, to spare you the time and pain of slogging through all the duds, here’s a list of the must-see eps from that 65-episode first season, the ones that really capture the spirit of the show at its best. ![]() Maybe it’s because I got all that disappointment out of my system and can now appreciate the show for what it is, but in sober judgment I’ve found that, while most episodes are kind of bad or even flat-out boring, every fifth or sixth episode hits the mark exquisitely as a fun, well-written, and entertaining half-hour of animation. Plus of late I seen a big problem in the sex based media ( porn films or manga etc.) of the fact of more and more lesbian crap is starting to be in more and more films or animation etc, even when it states is normal sex content i.e.While ThunderCats doesn’t live up to my rose-colored childhood memories, it is way better than I remember it being when I rewatched as a teenager. Later on she seems to remember this is cute little minx Wily Kit. Why at the first page is cheetara calling wily kit = Wily Kat? I have only one problem with this and that is, Wily Kit was my fav one although Cheetara was a close 2nd fav? I loved thundercats back when I was younger!
