#THUNDERCATS INTRO SKIN#

'Thunder, Thunder, Thunder, Thundercats, Hoooooooooo!'.Cheetara's hair is blonde with black spots, Pumyra's is brown with white tufts and Wilykit's is auburn with a black stripe down the middle. Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: The three female Thundercats.The Blade Always Lands Pointy End In: The Sword of Omens does this a lot.It actually came in very useful for a tailor-made episode where the other Thundercats got kidnapped by the villains and Snarf had to use various animals to mount a rescue for them. Bilingual Animal: Depends on where you think he falls as far as an 'animal,' but Snarf note Who's a creature called a 'snarf' had animal linguistics as a power.Big 'NO!': As Lion-O readies to pursue Mumm-Ra into the Book of Omens, he is suddenly met with violent protest from The Ancient Spirits of Evil who take a more active role to prevent the threat to their evil influence.Big Bad: Mumm-Ra is the main antagonist.They're so angry, in fact, that they not only send the sphere far away, they refuse to transform Mumm-Ra into his Ever-Living form, and while they eventually agree to do so, once he reclaims the sphere, they threaten to forever ban him from the Black Pyramid unless he surrenders it. Berserk Button: The Ancient Spirits of Evil do not take kindly to Mumm-Ra deciding that he doesn't need them anymore after he gains possession of the Golden Sphere of Seti.From the good alien's perspective, Lion-O and Snarf were ugly. Beauty Equals Goodness: The episode 'Good and Ugly' subverted it: the beautiful alien was the evil one, the ugly one good.Bat Signal: The Sword of Omens can do this when Lion-O invokes 'Thundercats, HOOOOOOOOO!'.Batman Can Breathe in Space: The Thundercats universe blatantly disregards many physical facts, but none are as jarring as the fact that apparently everyone can breathe and speak in outer space just fine, thank you.Jaga's line when he presents their gear is that, on Thundera, they didn't need 'special' clothes or weapons, not that they didn't wear clothes at all.

#THUNDERCATS INTRO SKIN#

Word of God is that they are, in fact, wearing clothes (as one might think from Panthro's belt, Cheetara's boots, and the Kittens' 'trunk lines'), their clothes just oddly match their skin patterns.

Barbie Doll Anatomy: In the first episode, the Thundercats are all naked, and they have no genitals or nipples.

Barely Changed Dub Name: In the Brazilian dub, the names of Lion-O and Lynx-O had the '-O' part removed, becoming simply Lion and Lynx.

At least if the 80s action figure and some of the comics are to be believed. His head is normally covered in either a hood (in his decayed form) or an elaborate headdress (in his ever-living form) but he is apparently bald as a nut underneath.

As Long as There is Evil: 'And wherever evil exists Mumm-Ra lives!'.

Artifact of Attraction: Lion-O can call for the Sword of Omens to come to him.

Applied Phlebotinum: Both Thundrillium and Thundrainium fall into this category.

Which is perhaps the most visible in the opening animation.

Animesque: This being part of a trend involving outsourcing cartoons to Japan, this was expected.

The whole sequence has pretty cool animation, compared to the rest of the episode.

Episode 45, 'Turmagar the Tuska', has a long scene with the Thundercats fighting a giant robot.

Animation Bump: The Title Sequence, 'Crystal Canyon', 'The Telepathy Beam' and 'The Wild Workout'.

Animal-Themed Superbeing: Obviously, they're all cat-based.

Also, there are some stray humans such as Hachiman, Mandora and Safari Joe (though the latter two are Human Aliens).

A few human-looking populations are shown (the warrior maidens, Professor Dometome and his associates). There are also hints that Third Earth is the future of our world, but what happened to the human race is not revealed. After the End: The Thundercats' original homeworld blows up during the Premiere.Action-Hogging Opening: More than a few fans have stated that the Title Sequence is the best part of the whole show.Pumyra and the Warrior Maidens as well.Remarkably, in several episodes she gets to save the day, on her own, when all the rest of the team has been defeated. Achilles' Heel: Mumm-Ra's reflection instantly defeats him.Sword of Omens, grant me tropes beyond tropes!
