Thundercats (1985–1989)
7/10
Give me sight beyond sight
13 December 2021
I used to rent this show's videos from my local video outlet when I was like 7 or 8 back in the 1990s. I never got bored of it. At one point I lost interest but then when I was 14 I watched it on Cartoon Network's Toonami and it captivated me once again. Of course, like most 1980s shows it hasn't aged well and it deserves a proper reboot sooner or later. The music was the best part and the characters were stunning. Mumm-Ra stole the show as the main villain (I liked him better than Skeletor). Yes, it does share similarities with He-Man but I never really watched the original He-Man.

The show has science and magic, various races, and a world of intriguing settings. What's not to like? And each show has an ending that works like a public service announcement. Morals and such. You don't get that very often in today's shows.

In short, if you're an old-time fan, a visit can be a nice little reunion. Most kids from the current era will find this one a little hokey and cliched, but as before, someone needs to give this show a proper reboot. If TMNT and Transformers can get multiple reboots and alternate universes, then why can't this?
