Mighty Max was a surprisingly dark and high-quality cartoon that didn't patronize it's audience. If you've never seen it, I highly recommend it.

I always liked how Mighty Max had a "let's do this" attitude, which is sorely missed in moody shows now, like Troll Hunters, which sounds like half of the voice cast from mighty max, are in. I hope it comes back.

I think it was the lack of patronization that drew me in. Max was a kid, sure. But that never meant he couldn't be a hero. Best of all, each crisis of the week wasn't resolved by some coincidence, adult involvement or other deus ex machina. Max always solved his own puzzles through wisdom, intelligence or sheer willpower.

"I will show you a thousand subtle shades of pain... a hundred ways to die... before I finally lay your lifeless body at my master's table!" THAT was a quote from Skull Master, voiced by Tim Curry, in the episode where Max breaks his Crystal of Souls, his greatest treasure and source of power. THAT is how you make an adventure show!

Look up the Mighty Max Restoration Project on here. There's a guy restoring the VHS episodes and bringing the video/audio up to way higher levels. He has over a dozen episodes completed and explains how he does it on his channel. Sidenote, he's also in need of VHS copies of some of the rarer episodes. He mentions this on his channel in a vid on there. So you might want to contact him if you have any way to share with him and he can keep making more restored episodes this year. He uses the physical VHS to do it so the crappier files online won't cut it. The guy does crazy good work. Check it out.

Mighty Max aired weirdly late at night when i was in college. Or was it crazy early? It's all a blur now. Instead of doing homework, I randomly caught the pilot alone in the lobby of my dorm - and quickly realized though it was obviously intended for kids, the storyline was incredibly dark and the laughs were mostly gallows humor. I was hooked immediately.

Man, if I had to name ten cartoons that made my childhood, Mighty Max is easily in the top 5. It used to play ridiculously early here in New Zealand, and me and my cousin loved watching it together. We'd get up at 6 and sneak down to the lounge, without waking up my aunt and uncle, and watch Mighty Max. Sometimes we'd drag a cardboard box into the lounge and we'd watch it from inside the box, I have no idea why, lol. Really wish I hadn't sold my old MM toys.

The Mighty Max cartoon was excellent. Everything about the show was great. The production was very high and the writing was very sharp, compelling, and dark when the story called for it. I remember watching every episode back during its original run and I always wanted to know how Max’s Story ended. I hope they decide to bring Mighty Max back and finish the story that they started over 25 years ago. As always great video and I can’t wait for the next one!

Mighty Max was a great cartoon. I really liked that it was willing to be dark. Even if deaths happened off-screen, you still knew that people were dying to monsters. And then there was Norman versus Spike, which pretty much just said "no" to the normal sanitized cartoon morality lessons. Norman, out for revenge against the man that had ruined his life, finally has an unarmed Spike backed against the edge of a cliff. Max is watching as Spike does the whole "If you kill me, then you'll be no better than me." Norman just says "I can live with that" and shoves Spike over the edge. There is a unnecessary joke where the falling Spike shouts that he isn't through with Norman, only for Norman to just say "Wrong" as he walks away. (Not a bad bit, it just wasn't necessary.) And this is followed neither by shock on Max's face (from seeing his friend apparently kill an unarmed man) nor admonishment from Virgil (for killing Spike in front of Max). It is followed by Max cheering Norman.

Oh I love Mighty Max! Skull Master was one of the best cartoon villains ever made and the series finale was sublime. The take home message that the villain won and the battle _never_ ends. Basically subverted every trope for a cartoon ending and it worked so well. I had a couple of the playsets too, but the show was my draw.

I was already a bit too old for the toys back then but I actually liked the show itself. I remember one episode where they actually established Norman's backstory and taught Max that being with the Chosen One was not all fun and games and people could actually get killed. Skull master was actually a pretty terrifying villain and a legit threat to the good guys, too.

I've been collecting it since the 90s and am sad to see it forgotten so. there are a lot of interesting secrets held in the toyline, the TV series and its history including alternate color Doom Zones and Horror heads and due to its age there are lots of prototypes and concept art circulating eBay. in fact have the original two Artist sketches of the first two pages from comic book you used as your initial image.

The whole episode he complains about not having his sword. At the end he gets the sword back, but doesn't use it. Max asks him, "why do you even bother with it Normie?" "I like it"

My mom brought home some of these for me that she found at a garage sale when I was 8. They were surprisingly complete with the figures and removable pieces tucked inside. The Frankenstein one was really cool.

I loved this show. Unfortunately it came on in the morning when I had to go to school, so I had to catch it when I could.

Mighty Max the show had some incredible writing, and it's a travesty that it's mostly been lost to history.

Loved this cartoon; and I had most of the toys too. My favorite episode was the "Souls of Talon" with the late great David Warner. Just the tone of his voice when he offered to share the immortality disc "live forever, they death would evermore await thee and infinite tomorrows aboundeth for thee."

I used to love the Mighty Max toys. They would have them in the 99 cents store and would beg my mom to buy me one. I would always lose Max and the monsters, but still have the playsets to this day. Sucks I could never watch the show since the would show it when it was at school.

Mighty Max was my jam! I would watch episodes before going to middle school in the morning and I think I had one toy that I didn't even realize was related to the fantastic cartoon.

I remember the cartoon’s series finale being a time loop that wrapped back around to the beginning of the first episode, and it blew my child mind.

My brother and I always watched the show and he had the Corpus head and the McDonald's snow beast one. We never had a ton of the sets, but both of our friend groups did and they were incredibly inventive. I'm really surprised the Micro craze didn't last, it's super kid friendly, cheap to buy and easy to collect multiples. The Star Wars sets were incredible from Galoob, and these Mighty Max sets took what he and I loved about Universal Monster movies and put a fantasy spin on it. So many cool sets, man the 90s were awesome for toys! I had since gone back and re-bought my bro the Corpus set and got him a pretty close to complete Skull Mountain, which he always wanted as a kid. Still has the fireball lava eyes that launch.

This remains to this day one of my favorite shows of all time. I Bought the Genesis game a few years back just to get my hands on the little comic it came with, bought some of those bootleg DVDs off of eBay ages ago, regularly revisit episodes online(thanks youtube!) and have been low-key planning my own revival for years. (True story, I even reached out to Film Roman once to get permission to do a redesign of the series for my thesis project in school. Of course I got no response...) I seriously thought no one else remembered this show so I'm SO excited to see this episode and see all the love in the comments!
