@@StrikeValkyrie he is right except for one point: if said duel is to the death and you're fighting for your life then someone most certainly does win a duel: The one who's still alive.
I don’t know if it’s just nostalgia or cos Jaga’s death scene was pretty powerful, or purely because the music itself is beautiful, but hearing this after 30 years has just made me incredibly emotional
This sounds corny but this theme song is so uplifting to me. I think of my dad that passed and I can hear him saying something positive to me!....stay blessed everybody salute 🙏🏿
This. When Jaga stays at the helm of the ship while the rest of the clan go into hibernation, sacrificing himself to time... (manly tears) T_T They just don't make shows like these nowadays.
derek clay Uh...no. Optimus wasn't a ghost popping up for an average of 2 minutes per episode to dole out wisdom. Derek you better be a youngster who don't know any better 'cause if you ain't, so help me...
there is an ever-present, dignified sadness in Peter Cullen's performance of Optimus, as if the Great War has affected him so deeply that he's always crying deep inside. Transformers Prime Optimus comes across as being rather like the wise elderly Thundercat Jagga in his way.in transformers prime optimus prime strikes me as being in his way a character modeled after the elderly thundarian wise man jagga that is what I am saying he reminds me of jagga in his way
MDthornton83 definitely, I mean he is very much Obi Wan Kenobi in character, the wise mentor and sage whom is very much a father figure, teacher and guide to Lion-O just Ben was to Luke Skywalker
80s kid here , hearing jagas music and reading all these comments made me incredibly emotional realizing many of you share my sentiments , damn u guys , lol ❣️
This song marked my life twice, first when I was a kid and then when a suffered a terrible depression two years ago (a bit better now) we watched this serie with my daughter, she gave me the most powerful love to continue. peace
I always loved his "here comes the king" style of soundtrack! Loved how he was such an honorable character and always taught a lesson, even if you didn't understand it until your time came. Very good writing!!!
I’m glad my parents showed me this when I was little, I may have not been around during the 1980s but the old stuff certainly beats the new stuff in terms of soul and great characters and storytelling... hell this show even teaches you things in nearly every episode which is moving to me
What a fantastic medli. Carries such nobility to it. Jaga was such a great character. The way he imparted knowledge really was something special. At times he would only give hints rather than jist outright say what needed to be done. By reaching the answer himself Lion-O didn't just solve a problem, he gained wisdom.
Jay tell us a secret no one knew but yourself... I use to always cry as a kid when hearing Jaga theme in Thundercats🤣🤣🤣🤣 and it just made me cry right now with the nostalgia when i played it
😪😪😪😪😪 cada vez que escucho esta melodía es como retroceder en el tiempo cuando era feliz sin responsabilidades con mis hermanos en una vivienda muy muy precaria y humilde , recuerdo a mi madre joven 😪😪😪😪 y a mis hermanos jugar con lo que había , grasias vida por crecer en los 80tas ahhhhh y me gustaría que cuando muera me entierran con esta melodía
I've seen it three times too. When I was 4-5. Then when I was 11-ish. Then sometime in my twenties. When I started rewatching it as an adult, I thoguht it was a bit boring and that all cartoons were like that ect but I started to notice a lot of things(I rewatched Jem too and a few others. Jem and thundercats are tops though). Like the music of course. And the cool designs. But also it was pretty imaginative and it did something the remake didn't. They really did feel like a culture with how much they promoted the code and their actions. Even though the animation wasn't like the opening all the time, it was decent some of the time. And the details of it as well. There's a lot to appreciate. I showed the first two or three eps to my nephew and even just the opening, and he was really excited, and liked it.
As I never caught the pilot episode, I used to thing Jaga was some sort of mysterious ancient spirit. Decades later, when I finally got to watch it on youtube, I was really surprised to see him as a member of the crew, alive and well.
Somos dos todavía con treinta y largos no asumo la muerte de jaga se sacrificó para que los Thundercats no se extinguieran y llegarán al 3er planeta poniendo por delante su vida
The best cartoon ever. My top five favourite cartoons in no particular order are Thundercats, Defenders of the Earth, Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles, Dungeons and Dragons and He-man and the Masters of the Universe.
A thing he said and I remember till this day was : Confronting the unknown takes real courage,it's always easier to deal with dangers you know and understand. Episode 22 when Lion O traveled to the astral prison though time to save him . It always reminds me that I should get out of my comfort zone when I have the chance and embrace the unknown .
elvistwatty Jaga is supposed to be the greatest of the Lords of the Thundercats. His last dying deed even saved them all from extinction. Even in death his spirit continued to save them and guide them.
so noble, dignified, stately, grand and manly. the last of an ancient legendary order of knights fearless and pure, who ruled with mercy, chivalry and justice in the golden age. the archaic, mystical elder whose wisdom as the first and most regal and princely of all cats shall lead the young lion-o on his path to true kingship
They absolutely should have used this music as the background music for when optimus prime sacrificd himself to return the allspark and the matrix of leadershi0 back to the well of allsparks when he died at the end of transformers prime predacons rising
