Intro of "Defenders of the Earth"

[RokuroCarisu]

This show proved that pulp era heroes could still be awesome by bronze age standards. b^^

[Andarthiel]

This was like the Justice League but more awesome

[sortedevaras]

So we got a Flash Gordon movie, we got a Phantom movie, so where is my damn Mandrake movie?

[suzypreta1]

caaaaraaaaaca!!!! Essa é do fundo do baú, me emocionei agora!!

[javoman13]

nice.

[hootyhaha]

I subscribe to both Netflix and Blockbuster online. So this is not a random NF bashing post. But Blockbuster Online has real customer service you can email. Only reason I'm saying this is to encourage fans, even if you don't do BB online, to write into them and express how much you miss Retro toons like this and that it would be cool if they would get more in their inventory. Don't worry about telling them if you're a subscriber, just write in. Then one place will notice the other and follow.

[level242]

I am confused is this a chain letter or are you simply SPAM?

[hootyhaha]

@level242 Nope, just a big time supporter of these retro shows and giving people ideas to write and generate interest in these programs.  Go to SHOUT FACTORY and check out their retro section. They're selling MASK now :)

[violinsofangels]

[xnacara]

Um dos melhores seriados que já vi.

[glyphsaiyan858]

Defenders of the Earth, Defenders!

With our new young hero's, proving their worth,

Four become eight, defending the Earth!

Defenders of the Earth, Defenders!

[Astraldragon1]

@glyphsaiyan858 , Thanks for shareing the Lyrics. The last part with Young heroes was allways hard to understand.. they said it so fast it was hard to hear what it said...I kept thinking it said "With Powerfull young heroes proving their worth, " but they didn't have powers. So I wondered what they said. with some songs you think they say one thing and it turns out to be something else because they say it so fast.

[glyphsaiyan858]

@Astraldragon1 Yeah, true. As a kid, you sometimes don't fully listen to what songs say, till one day "Huh... I wonder what the lyrics were for that so-n-so song..."

[glyphsaiyan858]

Defenders of the Earth, Defenders! Out of the sky his rockets ignite! Jets into battle, flies faster than light! Flash Gordon! Lord of the jungle, the hero who stalks! The beasts call him brother, the ghost who walks! Phantom! Defenders of the Earth, Defenders! Master of magic, spells and illusion, Enemies crumble in fear and confusion! Mandrake! Defenders of the Earth, Defenders! His strength is a legend, his skills conquer all, Armed with his power, we never will fall! Lothar!

[LongBeach2SanDiego]

"master of magic, spells and illoooosion/enemies crumble in fear and confusion...

MANDRAKE!!!"

[Bmonney1985]

Master of magic spells and ileeeewzionz!

[Ashikun]

@Bmonney1985 HENDRIK!!

dumbest superhero name ever lmao..

[glyphsaiyan858]

@Ashikun Hendrik? You even listening, mate? He says Mandrake, like the root...

[Ashikun]

@glyphsaiyan858 I prefer Hendrik. Imagine him saying Hendrik and you'll know what I mean.

[wagnar]

I like the part when he says defenders...

[dcwpsycho]

Good music!

[hysangearring]

This song was written by Stan Lee, btw. :)

[wimpous]

Maybe it's a coincidence but has "Mendrick" something to do with "Schmendrick" from "The last Unicorn" (despite the same ending) ?? ; )

[ArkhamInhabitant]

His name is Mandrake, not "Mendrick" and no, he has nothing to do with Schmendrick. ;)

[bulletproofKevlar]
