Thundarr The Barbarian is one of the best cartoons of the 80s I would love to see a reboot to this classic cartoon you can literally write a film from just one of those episodes of thundarr that's how good those episodes were I really wish that cartoon would have lasted longer I'm glad I grew up in the 80s there was just such amazing cartoons in those times.

Thundarr the Barbarian was an absolute classic. I think what always struck me the most about the series was all the recognicable landmarks after the natrual disaster laid waste to them. Not only did it give a certain eerie atmoshere to the scenery but I love how they alway played a part in the theme or plot of the episodes. And yes, I'd love a reboot/revival of the series. Especialy one with improved animation and a story that can flesh out the characters. I also wouldn't mind a darker, more mature take on the series. Maybe one that could air on Adult Swim next to Unicorn Warriors Eternal and Primal.

Fun fact, Zevon’s name comes from the singer Warren Zevon. Zevon is famous for the song “Werewolves of London.” This episode was too on the nose with that reference.

Yes! Before He-Man, there was Thundarr & Blackstarr! I loved watching those cartoons on Saturday mornings. To me I always thought that Thundarr was a mixture of Thor & Conan put together.

Who here built forts in the living room and watched Saturday morning cartoons while eating cereal?

One of my favorites as a kid !! Loved this show !!

I loved this show as a kid.

Great cartoon of my childhood. I have the DVD set of the series. I watch it on a regular basis sometimes.

As a D&D kid of the 80’s, so many memories watching this for amazing Saturday morning fun and inspiration!

This is one of my favorite cartoons from Saturday morning cartoons.

Thundarr is the Man. Truly a hero in the Classical sense.

Thundar is a gem. This was light-years ahead of every show for decades.

More proof of how my childhood rocked!!!

Thundarr does indeed possess super powers. In 1 episode he readily lifts & tosses a full sized automobile at his opponents. Although, Thundarr is not as strong as Ucla.

You can see the effects of Jack Kirby's art on some of the characters of this show. Some resemble his New gods

They have drawn so many beautifull women!

Fantastic, thorough breakdown. Thanks for this.

I can't believe that after all these years they've made so many remakes of 1980's cartoon series like Voltron,Transformers and G.I. Joe for example and Thundarr is the only one that has never gotten a remake or even a movie which I would like to see or maybe even if they did a movie it would be nice to see it as a origin movie of like what happened on Earth the day that runaway planet that nearly destroyed the Earth and what happened with the aftermath and how the 3 heroes met now that would be nice to see.

Loved watching this show as a child growing up in the 80’s!

No revival. A firm believer of leave the classics original. Thanks for this keen insight👍

So this where inspiration came from that parody cartoon that the TMNT 2012 were watching.

I loved watching this show every Saturday on cartoon network!🙂

Without out a doubt one of the best shows on tv . I still love it. It had everything you could ask for. The art inspired by Kirby . The stories and great characters. I would have loved if it was rebooted and made it like the old Flash Gordon animated series. Just really great on going story . No Woke stuff or anything like that just a great story.

Gerber & Kirby

Thundarr was my absolute favorite Hanna Barbara cartoon, and even as an adult now is still entertaining. Something to be said about descent writing as the bar seems pretty low today. Great music too...

You did fine job, now if I could only get the series on DVD,...I would be happy...

❤ Thundarr watched every Saturday as a kid

Great, Love this show.

Yeah, this was a great cartoon when I was growing up

It would make a great movie.. maybe even a trilogy… First how the earth was basically destroyed by the moon and going on to tell Thundars story as he battled the evil forces that arrived ending in an eventual peace with a cliffhanger at the end 😮

I remember a witch stole Princess Ariel’s body.

Post apocalyptic cartoon

Nice video and tribute to a wonderful childhood series past .. i would suggest to include the locations of the adventures in the video as like kungfu, incredible hulk .. travelled the continent and became justice or heroes for the unjust

This should get a proper remake. Not for kids but, adults.

YESSS!!💪👊 Loved this cartoon as a kid, playing #Mythforce too now!

I think with the character Gemini where he has 2 personalities reminds me of Blitzwing from Transformers Animated where said Decepticon also has a split personality or in Blitzwing's case a triple personality where like Gemini's personalities are calm and collective and aggressive Blitzwing's personalities are calm and collective,aggressive and just plain crazy.

Loved this show!

I loved this show ☺️🙌🏾

WOW!!!! Just... wow,my childhood flashed before my eyes. These episodes were so layered I never realized it was only 13 episodes. A reboot would be great. Even a movie there's so much to work with

Loved this cartoon, always wonder why some company hasn't made these action figures

kirby has some great artists working with him as well.........

I absolutely loved Thundarr!!!! It was a huge part of my Saturday mornings as a kid!!!! Such a great show for its time!!!! Would love to see this show remade today with new graphics and new storys!!!! Thatd be amazing!!!! Love the Content keep up the great work guys 👍

I watched Thunder with his Sun Sward and BlackStar with the Star Sward as a kid on Saturday morning’s!

Loved this cartoon, a possible future Earth.

My dad watched that show back in the day.

I wish this was on a stream

Yes I love Thundarr The Barbarian also The Herculois and Jonny Quest bring them all back...

DEMON DOGS!!! LORDS OF LIGHT!!!

This cartoon pushed the limits more than anytime else at the time. Definitely not for kids

I feel as if the Old RPG game Riffs borrowed heavily from Thundarr the Barbarian !!

loved this cartoon along with Johnny Quest. Why no live-action show/movie was ever made is amazing.......along with space ghost and the jetsons .........reminds me of heavy metal

*This is SOOO AMAZING!!! I could only hope **#MarvelousVideos** also makes a similar video about Galtar, Blackstar, Conan, FreedomForce/Space Sentinels, Mightor and the old Flash Gordon.* 💪🏼🤩 Wish the big studios would make a live-action #Thundarr movie. 🙄

Thundarr had comic book greats like Jack Kirby and Steve Gerber, working on it!

Our generation always was Epic. I need a Time Machine, stat😂

Thundarr was one of my favorite cartoons.i have the series on dvd.

I wish. Hanna-Barbera would give Thundarr a comic book of his own! Thundarr is a great warrior with indomitable willpower! enhanced strength, durability against injury, and incredible healing factor on him. All they need is a potential writer who has great ideas and creations for Thundarr the Barbarian storylines. Ookla is incredibly strong like that and a good friend to Thundarr and Ariel ought to possess more knowledge of magic like Dr. Strange. I don't know too much about Ariel and Ookla's origins. It is a mystery to me.

There's a lot of room for lore expansion if they were to remake the series.

Too bad we never got a movie based on this cartoon

Loved this cartoon as a kid... When it disappeared from the airwaves after the second season it was so disappointing.

The fact Princess Auriel is more stronger than Thunder😊

Kane's Parents and Kane remember them all and they were been making a real movie

I really hope some entertainment company, buys the rights to this cartoon show, and so that way a new version of (THUNDARR: THE BARBARIAN) cartoon show could get made. Be it on the HULU network, or on the MAX network, or on the NETFLIX network, or on some other network.

Awesome video! But it's pronounced sep-ter, not skep-ter

Please do a vid on Rocket Robin Hood villains ? As well Spider-Man from the 70’s?❤🇨🇦

I loved Thundarr, would later inspire the likes of He-man.

I’m surprised that neither DC or Marvel didn’t adapted this series into a comic book back in the day’s. If they did,perhaps we could’ve had ourselves some Thundarr the Barbarian action figures from Hasbro,Mattel or Kenner.

You forgot Chom, from the Challenge of the Wizards, with his wheel machines?

With how they treat reboots by forcing an agenda? Please, no. Thundarr should remain classic TV cartoon history. All 21 episodes. Could you do the places they visited, next? New York City is obviously one of them.

#KWL THERE WILL NEVER BE A REBOOT, REIMAGINED, Until #JackKirby, who was involved with #Thundar, and giving respect tor. Kirby, @Marvel should take it on!

You can definitely see The late Jack Kirby’s influence all over this show.

I would like to know more about the sun sword's back history. It had to been created by twentieth-century scientists, and since it's only allows Thunder to wield it, there must be a genetic biomechanical lock to it to prevent others from using it. Yes I am aware of the episode in which Thunder had to touch the sun sword to a regarded magical pool to become the sun swords Master again but there has to be a scientific origin to the Sun sword's creation there cannot be just a magical origin the sun sword has too much a science feel to it

Ariel OOkla ride!

Hmm... pretty good video summary. But as I'm seemingly one of the top Thundarr nerds on the planet(I helped write a wiki about it)... I noticed a few things you messed up.. Mindok isn't a cyborg. Octagon didn't die.... Skullus's battledroids are energy constructs, not robots. Khromm, Argoth, Valerie Storm, Mazem... spelled wrong... the wrong spelling is due to the last letter missing. Sarott(and probably several others) you pronounced it wrong... like REALLY wrong. It's suh-Rott. The grizzly Snake is a monster... not a character. Tye's friend Arak is more deserving of mention. Seriously, I'm pretty sure you read the wiki me and Malcadon wrote... pay more attention next time! Also it'd have been better if you mentioned which episodes each character was in. You did them in a weird random order.

The estate of the late Jack Vance should sue the producers for ripping off The Dying Earth
