Cartoon Clipshow: 100 - Thundercats 

I have always had a special place in my heart for Thundercats, I was thoroughly addicted to watching each and every episode every morning before school. The idea of continuing story lines really sucked me in, I guess preparing me for an adult addiction to soaps. The series was quite dark for a cartoon, the Thundercats constantly fighting Mumm-ra and his demonic concoctions. The only cartoon I have seen that has a similar feel is Sailormoon which has a totally different story line. A few of my friends compared it to He-man and She-ra but I always thought that Thundercats had much more depth and was much darker. All in all Thundercats should be rerun till the cows come home.

Totally JEALOUS that you met Larry Kenney.

Love how He-man looks like a dwarf next to Lion O, also sick burn on LJN.

Rob, whatever your future leads you, be proud of your accomplishments on your show, for we need more shows like yours on RU-vid, and your 100th episode is your best. BTW, I too met and got an autograph from Larry Kenney and he's really a great guy.

Props for the major Snarf respect!

Congrats to reaching 100 reviews

Great review. I've watched the original 'Thundercats' here, and there, but I was never invested in it as much as 'He-Man', and 'She-Ra'. While it did have it's share of flaws, (As most 80's cartoons do) at least it tried to keep things interesting as it progressed. A shame the 2011 reboot got cut short because it has ALOT of potential, and it could've fixed all the problems the original had. It's cool you that you met 'Lion-O', (Larry Kenney) I met 'April O'Neil'. (Judith Hoag)

Oh so that's why the 2011 reboot was gonna reveal snarf as the creator of the thundercats. Interesting.

The new Duck tales is awesome!!!

I agree that snarf doesn’t belong in that category. He’s very loyal, he’s a good friend, he’s brave not to mention the fact that he actually harnessed the power of the spirit of evil in one of the episodes he is really amazing.

Happy 100th Review!

Congrats on the 100th episode/review!

Please Netflix, save the Thundercats 2011 reboot.

Moon Star of Limbo, give me the might, the muscle, the menace of Mumm-Ra!!

No thank you brother for your humour and knowlegde.. may the new year bring you good fortune

I agree with you about snarf he is far from useless

Congrats on 100 episodes, Rob. You do a great job every video. Here's hoping for 100 more!

And Larry Kenney was in Both the 80's and 2011 Thundercats.

Congratulations on your 100th review, and what a good way to do this special occasion, by reviewing the very cartoon that led to what you are today. Thundercats is pretty enjoyable when I watched it back then, and I still hold a deep appreciation to this. The 2011 reboot is better in a lot of ways, but there are still some problems that I noticed and I am very sure they will get fixed if that series was not CANCELLED! As for the latest one.... well..... let's just say that we have devolved a whole lot since the 80s. Anyway thanks of all the reviews, and I am definitely looking forward for more. Cheers for 2019.

Congratulations on your 100 Episode RobTheWonderful your the best :D

That would've been very interesting if Thundercats explored earth's past to find out why their new home planet is called Third Earth. Pumyra is the Thundercats medical person (Everybody needs someone who can fix wouds) plus in one episode it shows that's she's fast too just not as fast as Cheetara.

Hello, what's this?

A great classic cartoon indeed.

As a kid one of my favorite toys was a thunder cats sword and glove. While I no longer care for the show, I can appreciate a look back at what once was a part of my life.

Aw man! I've just found you and I've become addicted to your videos, finding someone who loves 80s syndicated animation as much as myself! Don't ever quit! I love your work man!

Congrats on the 100th review man really enjoyed the review.

Here's something: in 2016 DC published a five issue limited series that had the Thundercats and He-Man and his allies team up against the combined forces of Mumm-ra and Skeletor. The art is beautiful and a blast to read! It is so awesome!!

Snarf was the only character I really hated in the series, I liked him better in the 2011 reboot.

Solid - After finding this one decent enough, I remember trying to transition into Silverhawks. That one proved asking for far too much suspension of disbelief. Even at 10.

congrats on 100 episodes of cool cartoons!

The 2011 Thundercats is the first Thundercats cartoon I saw when I was little

Congrats on 100 episodes, man! Glad you made it this far. I've been a somewhat inconsistent viewer for quite awhile, and have come to enjoy the show more and more as it's gotten closer to this point. I'm really looking forward to whatever comes next. As for this specific hundredth episode compared to others I've seen, I think I liked this one better simply because it was the first in awhile that wasn't some mega special-effects-final-battle-crossover-o-thon, but rather a regular episode where you tell us what it was like to get this far with the show at the end. Thanks for that.

4:45. This was already covered in detail by the guy at retroblasting: there’s this medella effect that lion-o’s capsule malfunctioned but there is never any visual or spoken evidence for this. The only line is when Jaga mentions the long trip and about using the capsule. He says “some aging may occur” but the way it’s said is very general and sort of throwaway. Like this is just a side effect of it. However again none of the other cats’ pods react this way.

I loved the morality part at the end and the final laugh.

Congrats on reaching you 100th review Rob! Been a fan of your reviews since I've found your channel in 2016! Hope you'll be able to reach further next year!

Love you rob. This was a spectacular review

Thank you Rob for the great reviews! Peace and blessings

Happy 100th episode, man. And hey, it may have taken you 8 years, but it's all in the journey, not the destination.

I love you for this bro this is by far the best thundercat review ever no cap

I'm still on that theory that was somewhat confirmed in the reboot that Silver Hawks and Thundercats are the same universe and The Space cop was a branch of law enforcement that works with the Silverhawks.

Happy Holidays Rob I love your show keep up the good work, don't give up! :)

can confirm; Larry Kenney is awesome. and likes his scotch.

In the UK Thundercats Ho was released on VHS as a full length movie. The story works better as individual episodes though. As one long feature it gets a bit boring and just feels like episodes edited together rather than a proper movie.

Can't wait for Silver Hawks Screech starring Dustin Diamond.

I watched exodus when I was a kid and I remember most of the script to this day.

I whould like to see you reviewing a short-lived cartoon called “Beverly Hills Teens”.

Ever since your Obscure-a-thons, you have had a fan in me. Keep plugging away! Great review, btw. And here's hoping you'll have many more.

I can't believe he forgot to mention the Lunatak named Amuk, who Luna rides atop.

You earned a like, favorite, and subscription from me for rightfully defending Snarf.

Ey Rob, not everyone can brag about having made 100 episodes. I also believe that its not the destination, its the journey. Congratulations on your milestone and I hope you keep doing what you love, and more power to you, man. =)

Cartoon Network is rebooting ANOTHER action show as a comedy?!It didn't work out with Teen Titans,it din't work out with Power Puff Girls,WHAT THE HELL MAKES THEM THINK THIS TIME IS GOING TO BE ANY DIFFERENT?!?Seriously C.N,get this through your thick skulls:REBOOTING AN ACTION SHOW AS A COMEDY IS A STUPID IDEA AND IT NEVER WORKS OUT!!!!ITS GOING TO DO NOTHING BUT PISS PEOPLE OFF!!!

Awesome review!

Those little bearbots are like robo Ewoks

LOVED This Review and it inspires me to track down the original ThunderCats 80's Cartoon on DVD for my 30th Birthday

Thanks ! Snarf was a wonderful character, I don't know why he is so hated

This is a wonderful review, you are one of my favorite youtubers I enjoy watching. I wish you a good new year in 2019.

I'm glad I found your awesome channel, looking forward to whatever comes next

I've never made fun of Snarf, I remember the first time I saw him, I was Jazzed to see a Talking Quadraped, Something my Dog couldn't do.

It's funny you compared the episode "The Tower of Traps" to Dungeons and Dragons, I used that episode as inspiration for a D&D Campaign. My players really enjoyed it.

That was a really good review :) ! And also a interesting thing for me personally. I have not so many memories of the show, eccept for the beginning arc. But with your review and thoughts here, i guess the show was better than i could imagine before ;) so thank you very much. Also. I´ve seen the 2011 reboot. Sword of Omens.. give me awesomeness beyond awesomeness ;)

I’ve watched that cartoon back when it aired on tv originally, and the toy line came out after that cartoon started back in the 80’s originally💁🏻‍♂.

thanks for this great vid ma man

2:50 Maybe the destruction of Thundera happened so fast they didn't have time to get dressed and they were just wearing skin/fur coloured underwear? (I wanted to put a whole bunch of "laughing face" emojis here, but I'm watching this on a laptop) 35:20 Maybe these characters got entombed somehow when Thundera exploded and were in some kind of suspended animation until the planet reformed (I think one version of Supergirl's origin had a similar "THAT'S NOT HOW SCIENCE WORKS!" vibe)

My impression was always that Humans had advanced and moved on thousands of years ago (possibly post physical) leaving the galaxy behind to animals that they had uplifted or had naturally evolved to sentience, we see many near humans like cavemen and amazons but the only pure technologically advanced human we ever saw was the space cop, all the others were summoned from the past. I also suspected that 3rd Earth wasn't the original Earth but the 3rd home world humans had inhabited with the ancient ruins being more like amusement park theming. In fact going further perhaps humans had turned the whole galaxy into one big amusement park before abandoning it with historical zones created populated by primitive human societies as a living exhibt.

I rewatch that show and it’s still good as I remember it. Also, has everyone else forgotten that the sword is basically alive I mean Jaga said it in the pilot. And also when Lino travel back in time to see his dad, how come one of the species look like a normal cat but you know like an alien cat. I’m not questioning it. It’s just very strange to say the least. Still a really good show.

Congrats on your 100th episode, Rob! As I said before, I haven't seen either version of "Thundercats," but after watching your review of the original, I'll make sure to check it out at some point. I hope things get better for you in the near future and that you'll get to make more videos. Best of luck man!

For me and my friends, Panthro was the shit.

Keep up the great work!

I'm surprised you didn't mention the theme song. Yeah, everyone knows it, but you love your 80s theme songs.

Well, look at it! Sometimes RU-vid DOES suggest good and interesting videos! I watched Thundercats at a very young age, 10 or 11 (arguably the perfect age for the show), and was hooked. Loved everything about it and still do! The visuals were amazing, the artstyle was so cool and unlike anything I was watching at the time (even He-Man didn't come close, even though Filmation's stock animation was pretty great... and the D&D cartoon was pretty awesome too, but the main characters weren't larger than life like the Thundercats), the awesome (and like you said, METAL) characters and locations, the music, and that opening.. ggaaaaahhhh... Just fantastic. Animation after the intro wasn't as good and oftentimes outright disappointing, but some of the action compensated for that. I *wish* they did a proper reboot, with these same characters, this exact same artstyle. And OMG, yes, Lion-O's entire point is that he's a kid in an adult's body. I don't know why they wouldn't go back to that in the anime reboot. That other thing... we... don't talk about that. Anyways, pretty great stuff, man! Cheers!

Congrats on making it to 100 episodes Rob. Here’s hoping to another 100 episodes. Also, I hope that Thundercats 2011 can get revived; possibly on Netflix. Screw Thundercats Roar!

Thundercats still kick ass today.😀👍

Did I just saw Dr mindbender in thundercats.

Rob, for some reason this video isn't showing up on your main channel, but only on your playlist. Odd.

YES!!!!!!! ITS HERE!!!!!!!!!! ITS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The shows of the 80's may have been mostly toy commercials, but at least they were cool toy commercials. If only history was nicer to the Thundercats like it was to Transformers (save for those live-action movies, but that's another story). There was a lot in this show that the 2011 series could have used if it weren't cancelled, and I mean A LOT of things. Of course, any reboot of an 80's show that isn't Transformers or My Little Pony usually doesn't last very long.

I LOVED THUNDERCATS!!!!!....USED TO DREAM OF BECOMING 1!!!!.....:-))

It Could be worse it could be Kidd Video, that one didn't age well

Thanks I needed this. I'm nearly 110 eps into Thundercats and my experience has been mixed. I wasn't sure if this cartoon had some problems or if it was just me not liking it. After seeing this video I can see I wasn't off the mark about certain repeating storylines & underutilized characters. I'm not sure if I can call myself a Thundercats fan but I'll finish to the end which sounds interesting.

I look forward to your review of the 2011 version.

Hey Dude, did you hear that Adam Wingard of Godzilla vs Kong fame is making a Thundercats movie?

40:08 I find it funny the person who making it reboot he's a fan of the original it TV tropes true

Defending Snarf AND the Berbils? If I wasn't also unemployed I'd probably sign up to the Patreon just for that. It's nice to not be the only one. :) I've also met, and interviewed, Larry Kenney.

I always thought 3rd earth was self explanatory; 1st earth is B.C. 2nd earth is A.D. and 3rd earth is the show’s time period the “future”

Fat lot of good those public messages did anyway. Money well spent Congress.

So far, you made your own Raiders of the Story Arc version of ThunderCats. Unlike some other reviewer who gave up that review series a long time ago. *COUGH* Nostalgia Critic *COUGH* Anyways, Merry XMas and Happ New Year!

Oh you The Who voice the cat man. Well I met the guys who made Superman.

Hey Rob, have U heard of this other show also made by Rankinn/Bass called Tiger Sharks?

3:09 ...aaand, we're there.

I’m a newbie to this series. The complete series is on sale on iTunes now so I’m pondering if it’s worth it Nice review so far

Why on earth did they not call the mutant vehicle the "mutank"

17:51 a modern day city would not survive thousands of years of the elements. Without anyone to take care of the cities, they would be consumed by nature......steel oxidizes, glass would get brittle and break, plastics would crumble. That's why ancient places, like the Pyramids, Gobecklitepi, and so on are around for stone lasts for forever. The pyramids of Giza, and Sphinx, were seen in the second episode, though, when the mutants were flying their ship over the countryside.

Mum Ra...Is that Mojo Jo Jo from Powerpuff girls?

I can agree with some thing he said and disagree with some other things he said about this cartoon. First off I was 16 when this came out and even at that age I liked it because it wasn't just the same old thing all over again. As far as the animation goes I thought it was pretty good for it's time. The morals that were taught were very good for kids even when it was spelled out in the last scene. I do agree that on the DVD set Lion-o's anointment should have been 5 straight episodes like when it was aired. I also think the DVD set should have included the deleted scenes in the pilot episode Exodus because after watching the deleted scenes i think they could have added more to it. I think the show could have continued on because Rataro was never captured with the rest of the main Mutants as well as all of their armies so he could have been brought back leading the Mutants against the ThunderCats. Now only the planet of Thundera was destroyed so The Mutants could have been based on Plundar as they originally were before they went to third earth. Captain Shiner could have been brought back as well. Of course you'd also have to have Mumm-Ra. They could have had a story where Lion-o and the rest of the ThunderCats saves a bunch or refugees and one of them knows Lion-O from when he was a Child on the original planet and he takes her as his mate/wife. Maybe have the Rataro led Mutants help the Lunatacks escape Captain Braggs train and they go to New Thundera and build a new SkyTomb. As far as the 2011 reboot is concerned he made a mistake when talking about the detruction of thundera because it wasn't a planet it was a city on Third-Earth. It wasn't bad but i think it should have been either kept along the same lines as the original and fixed some of the mistakes that were made and developed the ThunderKittens more along the way or have it continue where the original left off just years later. That's my opinion. I have the DVD set of the original and still watch it from time to time.

New reboot thundercat look absolutely garbage.also I like thundercat 2011

Before you do your top 5 worst and best cartoons of 2018 I need to know what your thoughts are on Big City Greens it is a very underrated gem of 2018 that I recommend checking out it's really good!

I think your shows are cool just stick with a good reviews on the eighties cartoons and 90s.... Enjoy your sense of humor and your honesty Try visionaries Or Gargoyles Then He-man 2000 X series I'd like to hear your input on those.... Keep up the good work and thanks

Complete series set coming out in June 2019... www.bestbuy.com/site/thundercats-the-complete-series-dvd/6351389.p?skuId=6351389 Looks like its a repackaging of the original volume sets. Still good oportunity for me to get the 80s series.

Hey Rob, how do U feel about Visionaries?
