@@fuckmeright Talking about the 90's you remember Bot masters? I'm 80's child but I do remember the 70's, 80's and 90's cartoons. now Cartoons are badly designed with crappy stuff. it's just shit
What about Centurion, Mask, Brave Star, Visionaries, Bionic Six, Cops, saber rider, Jayce, and the wheeled warriors, Dnd. There more I'm just lazy to mention. I just mention my favorite once. As a kid, I always was waiting for a Crystar cartoon even though I had the toys and comics.
Found my silverhawks toys at my grandparents house about 10 years ago. Still awesome. Squeeze the legs together and POP! Wings deployed. SILVEEERHAAAAAAWKS!
Lamo, when I was a kid. The neighbor kid had a silver hawk toy. I got to play with it for the first time. I thought I had broken it when i squeezed the legs togeather. When he told me that was it's intended function. I felt disappointed of the uselessness of it. Then was mad from enjoyment betrayal.
@I am no one neither R you no. I did not steal it. I only tryed to steal once and got cought and beat bad. Nvr agean even though the one who beat me passed on.
This lady mad me feel silly because Copper Kid was always my favorite SH. I lost my first one in 3rd grade and begged my folks to get me another... which I believe was lost by my brother.
The 80s were filled with many team based cartoons like the Thundercats & Silverhawks, that usually had interesting blended concepts (birds/cyborgs, cats/humans) It was the norm back then. They might have been funded for the purpose of making a profit selling toys but that didn't take away from how inventive they were for the time. I'm glad whatever corporate cynicism that went into their making never resonated in the minds of kids watching them then. It was just a great time to be a kid.
These days, when a show is relatively popular, you can release entire seasons on DVD. In the days of VHS, that wasn't economically feasible (bulky cartridges could only hold a couple hours and the raw material was pretty expensive), so shows would often sell tapes that only had one or two episodes. So my parents bought me a tape with a single episode of Silverhawks and I probably watched it a dozen times. It involved the Mob stealing a "disintegrator ray" that could destroy anything but gold, so they built a gold... I guess I'd call it a space jet ski, and Commander Stargazer flew it since he was made of gold and thus immune, while the others were made of silver. Then he flew it into space and fought the Mob until the disintegrator backfired and blew up their own ship. Also there was comic relief from a cabbie who was maybe a New York stereotype and kept saying "y'know what I mean?" And the ending clip was a quiz about meteors. Even at the time I could tell this was basically Thundercats in space (though I didn't know it was the same company), especially from Mon*Star's transformation sequence. Still, I liked it well enough, and I probably would have watched more but I don't think it aired in my location. Or maybe the show had already gone off the air by the time they were selling tapes.
This show was sooo underrated. I remember the show fondly and loved the space factoids after each episode. Too bad this show never got the chance to fly. (Bad pun...I know)
Silverhawks was one of the dopest shows ever. Definitely had a top 5 theme song. This show was underappreciated. Favorite part was finding hidden things within the show or the end when they had a quiz. And this woman is super fine!! She look way too young to have seen this show. Imma bout to subscribe just to see her again.
I had so many different action figures in the 80's and made the mistake of giving them away when I was older and wasn't as interested in them. I'm kicking myself now
WHATS MY FAVORITE SILVER HAWKS MEMORY? Mine was having to go to Shawn's, my friend's house to watch it because my mother wouldn't let me watch it. Because of a guy on TV named Phil Phillips who was determined to find something terrible about virtually all major kids show and toys. Lol, my parents never caught on to why I went to hang out at Shawn's every weekday afternoon. Oh, and Shawn, if you're reading this, THANKS 👍 BUDDY!
It almost happened nearly a decade ago, but it was shelved when Cartoon Network announced their Thundercats revival series. Also the CGI technology was not as advanced back then as it is today.
The newer Thundercats series that came out a few years ago was a huge disappointment. I really wish they would just make it stay with the older style but maybe more fine tuned with computer animation.
In Israel we remember these two very vividly. They were bought by the cables company in 1991 and aired at the children's channel as to 20 dollars a month together with the rest of the cables package. During the war school was off so my mom got me this channel to keep me occupied and not experience the anxiety in the boomshelters. Thanks to my mom,those shows are at least one of strongest memories from being 6 years old under Russian Sckad missiles from Iraq
Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers was my favorite cartoon by far back in those days. I find very few remember it, and fewer still appreciated how good it was.
I think it was because the Siverhawks were just cyborgs, which as a kid I could understand, but the Thundercats were weird human/cat hybrids which creeped me out. I'm a cat person, but I don't wanna see cat people.
The art design of She-Ra is terrible. Netflix didn’t make those series. They’re only the distributor. I think the license is currently owned by NBCUniversal or Comcast. Hopefully we will see them again soon.
@@covertyankee It could end up on Toonami. Or they could just bring back the series and put it on Boomerang. That is, of course, if the exec's remember that Boomerang was meant for classic shows and not what ever has played in the last 5 years.
Edgier sounds good. Since Mon*Star's gang was considered a "mob", it could have more of a Cowboy Bebop look and a film-noir feel to it and still have lots of action.
I loved Silver Hawks as a kid! I had several of the action figures, including all the Silver Hawks, except Stargazer, and the two bad guys I liked the most, Mon Star and Mumbo Jumbo. I also had the Mirage to fly them around in! I do wish the series would get another chance. I’ll have to check it out on Amazon. I’ve been showing my daughter a lot of the cartoons I watched as a kid and she gets hooked on them, as I did, so we get to enjoy them together :D
I'm glad to see this show getting some love. It felt like I was the only person on earth that had ever heard of this show when I was a kid. I was fully into it too. I had all the figures and vehicles. I even had a set of Quicksilver pajamas that was a costume of his character, complete with wings that were attached under the arms so that when you held your arms out to the side, you looked like a real Silverhawk. The best part for me was that I grew up in a family of cowboys and musicians (my dad and I both competed in rodeo professionally and my mom was a professional gospel singer for many years before she had kids) so getting to see a superhero that was both of those things was pretty awesome.
My brother owned so many of these toys and was such a huge Silverhawks fan honestly I think this show deserves way more credit than it gets and I still to this day love it and so does my younger brother
Hey SYFY Wire, do you remember the original theme song? C’mon, sing it with me: Wings of silver, nerves of steel... ^Shrieeeeek!^ Ex-OOOOH-Squaaaad! Partly metal, partly real, ^Shrieeeeek!^ Ex-OOOOH-Squaaaad! Soaring through the highway, of the heavens in their flight, ExoSquad, c’mon, it’s time, SYFYYYY! I’m still trying to piece together the guitar solo.
I remember an episode where each brought out their own hawk... Talley-Hawk was the only cyborg hawk... Bluegrass' guitar transformed into his hawk... LOVED THAT EPISODE! 😂😂😏
Who could you guys see playing THE SILVER HAWKS in a live action movie?? I could see a slimmer Chris Evans as Quicksilver with Tally-Hawk and maybe Elizabeth Olson as Steelheart..... would Sam Jackson as Commander Stargazer, be one AVENGER too many??
I have that box set. Was one of my all time favorites as a kid. This is so awesome!! Always watched silver hawks, thunder cats, brave Star, visionaries voltron
One of the best videos on my generation's cartoons. I liked her voice, presentation, everything. No annoying overacting and lame jokes. Well done. I hope to see more of her in other videos
I’m an 80s kid; and I talk about the SilverHawks ALL the time. Yet people around me never know whom I’m talking about. Very sad. I LOVED the series; sad to know they did not last long. I hope if they revive them in the movie, they do an AMAZING job with them!
I enjoyed the astronomy lesson at the end of each episode. At the time, I didn't realize they were required to do so; I just thought it was a cool thing to do.
They need to make a Silverhawks movie. I have never forgotten the show. I used to enjoy watching it to take me away from the realities of growing up hard.
I find it funny how the narrator of this video is knocking the show inbetween explanations,yet the biggest one about being lack of story. In the era of steven universe or spongebob squarepants,how can anyone compare or complain? 80's were it's own unique animal,it had more imagination than this era does. I also find it funny how current millennials want to knock 80's cartoons,yet more 80's cartoons are getting reinvented. So I'd rather be original then be PC appropriate and unoriginal.
Don't forget her biggest problem with the show was lack of diversity. Then she introduces the black character and is snarky because he wasn't good enough. Millennials are actually going to bring the movie "Idiocracy" in to existence.
My absolutely favourite Cartoon! Indeed they were forgotten for over 30 years, but a week ago Super7 seven launched the pre-order of Wave 1 for a new line of Silverhawks action figures and they look absolutely great!!! I’m so happy about it! I hope that helps making a new Silverhawks series!
Silverhawks and Thundercats are my favorite cartoons from the 80's!! As a matter of fact I still watch them when I'm on the toilet and end up staying there for a few hours lol. I noticed the similarities of the two shows when I was a kid. I absolutely loved the remake of the Thundercats, totally rocks! They should definitely remake the silverhawks!!!
Rankin Bass had developed three shows that shared the same universe, they even appear briefly in the opening credits. It was Thunder Cats, Silver Hawks, and Tiger Sharks.
