![]() The landscape of Third Earth is rugged and unforgiving. Here are 15 Things You Forgot About ThunderCats. CHEETARA THUNDERCATS SERIESNeedless to say, there's a ton about the series that's slipped our minds in the last 30 year, so we're taking a look back at what made ThunderCats so awesome in the first place. And of course, we can't forget poor old Snarf. On his quest to conquer evil, Lion-O wielded the mighty Sword of Omens while enlisting the help of his fellow ThunderCats, including Cheetara, Panthro, Tygra, WilyKit and WilyKat. The original series, which aired from 1985 to 1989, gave us 130 episodes of the ThunderCats waging war against Mumm-Ra and the Mutants of Plun-Darr. The story follows a group of humanoid cats, lead by Lord Lion-O, as they adjust to life on Earth following the destruction of their home planet. By blending elements of science-fiction, fantasy and fable, ThunderCats was pure childhood escapism, which went on to introduce a generation of children to the superhero mythos before many of us had ever picked up a comic book. Mumm-Ra is the devil priest of third earth and is everliving as long as evil exists, Mumm-Ra is over a thousand year old and his body is decayed, even though Mumm-Ra's appearance is that of a weak frail old creature his magic is very powerful, Mumm-Ra serves the ancient spirits of evil who do not exist on the same plain of existance as Mumm-Ra does on third earth, but they do communicate with him via the four giant statues in the black pyramid where Mumm-Ra lives, the ancient spirits of evil grant Mumm-Ra the power to transform himself into Mumm-Ra the ever living, a more powerful, more hideous looking and stronger version of his normal self, Mumm-Ra the everliving's power is beyond question, and his voice was one of the most evil and best bad guy voices in cartoon history in my opinion.If you grew up in the '80s, there's no other kid's cartoon that makes you want to slide into some footie pajamas, sit cross-legged on the carpet, and pour yourself a bowl of sugary cereal more than ThunderCats. Vultureman is a vulture type humanoid, doesn't really like Ssslythe ordering him about most of the time but does obey him. Jackalman is a jackal typehumanoid, and is also a part of the mutants.

Lion-O is the yound lord of the Thundercats who often receives advice from the ghost of Jaga and is keeper of the sword of omens, he has the look of a Lion like his name. ![]() Another brilliant series to come out of the 80's though it kind of remind me of He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe at first, but quickly established itself as something differen't The story is basically about a small group of Thunderians, who are Thundercats which is basically their equivilent of a royal family who have ot abandon their homeplanet of Thundera as the planet is destroying itself, led by Jaga the few reminaing Thunderian ships are attack by Mutants form the planet plundarr and are taken out with no trouble by the mutants ship, all except the flagship which they know is carrying the eye of Thundera, which is ebedded in the hilt of the mystic sword of omens. ![]()
