Yes!!! Current Cultural Destruction is for Purpose. Nowadays You Cannot Have That Kind of Influence for Children!!!

It's crazy how he goes from I give up to can't give up

In my case, it is "I won, and I never gave up; but the losers get the glory, so what was the point in bothering, now I feel like an idiot for trying". That is what people are like with me.

That's right. Never give up no matter what.

Me too. I'm almost 40 years old now, and having been through many trials, many failures, many defeats, I may have lost..... "it won't be because I gave up."

And teach your Daughters

Same here. When the odds are stacked against us sometimes it takes resilience and never giving up to actually turn the tides. I saw this episode when I was about 10-12 years old. Now at age 37, it's great to be reminded again - I may lose, but it won't be because I gave up.

So will I, no matter what!

andre banks I didn't realize as a kid how many lessons and morals one can learn from watching Thundercats. Did you know that there is a moral to EVERY SINGLE episode? Some not as obvious as others. You are 100% in that today's cartoons like South Park doesn't teach kids anything, but you learn NOT to GIVE UP in life by watching Thundercats. You can even learn from Mumm-ra! In the episode the Mumm-ra Berbil, Mumm-ra tells the Thundercats that his defeat is NOT a failure but merely a setback. This is how I see life when I fail in an interview, test, etc. I recall Mumm-ra's words...NOT a failure, just a setback!

Macho Mike haha ya you're right about the lessons. i think older cartoons were meant just for that, they knew the shows were meant for kids so they intentionally wanted to teach life lessons, like how they did with gi joe and the lessons they would teach at the end of the show or even more recent captain planet. this just goes to show that as time change, the less entertainment have any sort of morals or reasoning.....it's just there to exist, just look how music changed......just horrible.

+Daphne Pitts lol it's just too bad, you don't see this sort of thing today in entertainment, it's all about sex, materialism and utter stupidity.

Cyborgamus Prime same with me,when they re ran these on toonami 20 years ago i re watched all of them

There’s so much to learn form the Thundercats. As I look at the episodes on DVD I learn something new as a 43 year old.

MendrolRPG So did I.

One of the best weeks of cartoon watching by far.

Me too!

Do people ever feel that they wasted their time, even when they always achieve nothing when they stand strong like that? I do, and I still don't give up.... Why the fuck I am stupid enough to keep trying to stay strong, despite it getting me no where and no one gives a fuck about my effort is beyond me; I guess it is just instinct, I wasn't taught to do it either; no one cares as I said. It just feels like the right thing to do.

@@thevikingwarrior I do too, friend. You aren't stupid; you are wise. Your effort is not subject to another's approval. I believe it is part instinct, part conditioning. Whether the parts are equal, I am uncertain. My definition of the word "integrity" is: doing the right thing even when you think nobody is watching. I believe you possess that value. Who cares if nobody cares? Thank you for replying.

@@sobe762 Thankyou @Ryan Sobraska - But it is important for people to respect our efforts, not just feel sorry for us when we struggle. I made a lot of effort and I am very tired indeed, and I have been given no respect, and all it has done is fostered hatred in me towards such people. They have either complained that I am not trying hard enough in my life and used threats of punishment and so on; or if I have struggled, they only pitied me and felt sorry for me, and felt that I am a poor helpless individual; both of which are painful and insulting. I want to be a leader and inspire people, and be seen as a source of strength and inspiration and known for being brave; and I have tried fucking everything. I wish someone could me to deal with these people's attitudes, and help me to get what I so badly want, and which I will never stop trying to achieve!!! 💖💗💙💛🧡💙

Endurance proved to be a more important factor than speed

That's what they should've called this: "Lion-o's Anointment, Second Day: Trial of Endurance"

@@JadenMoon1475 Well not entirely. Remember, Lion-O also took the shortcut in the very beginning because it was way closer to the end of the goal. He was willing to take a more dangerous route for less mileage to the finish line. It was a combination of everything.

I was 14. I was on the edge of my seat. So you won't the only one.

It still brings tears to my eyes, 24 years later, seeing Lion-O win

Yeah me too. I didn't realize it at the time, but Liono's words stuck with me my whole life. I'm almost 40 now, and many times I have failed, I have been beaten, I have lost in life.... "but it won't be because I gave up."

He couldn't, he had to beat each Thundercat in different trials to prove he truly was the Thundercat Lord. Up until then he only had the title based on circumstances. Doing these trials would prove he had the strength, wisdom, wits and courage to lead them.

I never noticed as we tend to use a mix metric and imperial in the uk... even if the standard here is supposed metric. :)

Only to ensure that we beat the old-fashioned people, who did eventually give up if you kept trying to defeat them. Yes, I see what you mean; it works. That is what I did do in my life! 😉😉

That is true

Personally, I thought Cheetara was going to slap the hell out of his ass for telling her that.

Akash Thats a good mantra for Life.

They literally had no idea what to make Tygra's power for his trial so they made one up.

I think he had the same problem as Cheetara with her visions. Creating illusions drained him too much that's why he didn't use it often. Those two had powers that could reduce the use of the sword so they made them limited.

Yes that is over 150 miles per hour. Boy are you gonna be saw after that.

😄

I did a quick bit of math and to cover 5 miles in less than 3 minutes theyd both need to average over 100 miles an hour

@Mysician actually they started at 0:24 and finished at 2:12 I make that 5 miles in 1 minute 48 seconds an average speed of 166.67 miles per hour

They sped up the race for us

Me too

A lion's top speed is 50 mph, The most it can run is 36 feet. A cheetah's top speed is 70 mph, It can only last up to 22 feet. So a lion has more endurance, but it almost looks even.

+dsalmeron 4 boy cats and 1 girl cat.

It wasn’t 2 minutes, they sped up the race for us.

Lol the show is like 26 mins long what you want...?

Josh Turnbull maybe she could have but wouldn't running at normal speed still wear down her super speed ?? I guess we will never know

Wouldn't have mattered because she says the distance they ran was too much for her. At normal speed, Lion-O is faster, so he would have gotten way ahead of HER . Her super speed would have closed the gap, but not soon enough to win. Also, it makes for a more dramatic finish in that Lion-O clearly appears to have lost, but he doesn't give up. In the opposite, Lion-O would have been running scared from a rapidly approaching Cheetara and he would have REALLY believed she threw the race.

She’s a sprinter and not a long distance runner so I agree it wouldn’t matter if she tried to run normal. Lion-O had more endurance in the end.

Not likely. Lion-O isn't as old as he appears. His cryo/stasis pod malfunctioned on the way to Third Earth; this happens in the pilot episodes. Mentally, he's still very much the child he was on that spacecraft.

They sped up the race for us

If you look at the next episode after this one, he becomes officially Lord of The Thundercats. That was his price.

Milton Pierce Actually sounds like Edith Bunker.

Panthro: Strength Cheetara: Speed Wilykat & Wilykit: Cunning Tigra: Mind Power Mumm-Ra: Evil

Lion-O's Anointment Fourth Day The Trial of Mind Power

This got better stamina, more about will power!

yea, i mean, if it is in real animal world, will lion out-run cheetah by any chance? like demostrated in this video

Studying lot of material on this subject the cheetah does not go into long distance running, because it will develop dangerous temperatures they will run no more than 1,640 ft at 60-70mph, but Lions can run up to 50mph.

Young people painfully and stupidly missing the whole point, what a surprise...

To put it simple cheetahra had a limit on her super speed. But the Lion O endured till the end this is why he won

+Rex67Diego9 It's called the 80's most cartoons then didn't have exactly great voice acting.

Mad Mike i don't think the year excuses a bad acting, its like saying movies in the eighties are acted bad and now they don't and you can find that it isn't the case when you see the original terminator compared to genesis

+Rex67Diego9 It wasn't meant to be an excuse, the voice acting IS BAD. But a lot of 80's cartoons have bad voice acting, He-Man, Bravestar, Spiderman (and his amazing friends) even Transformers outside of a couple notable roles. It was just the style at the time to rush production of the cartoon and get it out in order to sell more toys.

Other cartoons sounded fine. And if they wanted, they could have sounded like other cartoons. Thundercats is about a chivalrous alien culture. It;s meant to be both admirable and different. It makes it unique.

It did for me
