fucking hell, everytime i watch this intro I find more badass shit going on in it. Everything is there to be badass. This is like a testament to how you do a saturday morning cartoon intro. Hook em and let em come back years later to see that what you did was extremely well thought out.
I am a true 80 cartoon fan. I watched everything from Thundarr, Superfriends,Smurfs, D&D,TurboTeen,Mighty-Orbots, Galaxy High etc.I always gave Transformers the series the #1 edge over everything. Thundercats and GI Joe always made my top 5 list. However, If I had to give an award for best 80s cartoon intro, I would have to give it to Thundercats! I mean if you put yourself in a kids mind, it really gets you pumped up to see this show!
@d1rango I loved it too! Actually I think the intros of the ' 80's Big Five' (Thundercats, He-Man, Tranformers, G.I.Joe, and Voltron) were all awesome!
damn. the quality of character design and animation went down the fucking toilet by the mid 90s. every action character, including the new version of the ninja turtles are boxy looking, perpetually angry and emotional to the point of seeming locker room homoerotic and everyone on the team is a fighter. no 'brain' or 'recon' guys anymore. either that or trying way too hard to be japanese anime.
@illuminatioracle I know that a ton of american shows were animated by the japanese, but i wouldn't consider it to be japanese anime. Thundercats is still very much an american cartoon. There's no one getting upper cutted through roofs or turning SD or any of that moronic shit that something like Teen Titans pretends to be.
@illuminatioracle i couldnt agree with you more....as a child of the 80's (1981) cartoons DEFINED me....and still do to this day im almost EVERYTHING i do.....its sad....specially knowing it will NEVER b what it used to be. :0(
Thundercats is perfect for a video game. You know, something better than the Amiga version. Hopefully when the movie/new series comes out, they will be accompanied by a game. One that's not usual movie-tie-in shit.
@KaptenKrokant I love Thundercats too... but calling Spongebob a 'fucking homo' is a little weird, especially since you're comparing it to a show with a beefcake main character wearing a skimpy outfit.
They dont make em like this anymore
