Thanks, Liam! ![]()
Ok, hereâs mine:
Name one character, besides Mumm-Ra, who contacts and communicates with the Ancient Spirits of Evil.
The Shadowmaster
That is correct! and very quick too! Your turn Mongor. ![]()
I canât think of a good question so Iâll put a spin on yours.
Name one character, besides Mumm-Rana, who contacts and communicates with the Ancient Spirits of Good.
Iâll take a guess at Brodo in âThe Astral Prisonâ.
LiamABC, you are correct!
OK, got one. Took a while to think of something, because weâve milked this show for so much in the trivia department over the years:
Usually, when Mumm-Ra, or the Mutants, or the guest villain of the week, is capturing the Thundercats individually, the Kittens are either the first or the last to be nabbed. I can think of two episodes (there may be more) where they are caught âin the middleâ as it were. Which episodes?
âSnarf Takes Up the Challengeâ and âMumm-Ra Berbilâ?
Correct! Both times, theyâre captured right after Panthro and right before Cheetara.
I suppose âThe Evil Harp Of Char-Ninâ would have been a sort-of acceptable answer, because theyâre bagged next after Lion-O and before the others. I didnât think of it at first because, well, itâs Lion-O!
Anyway, Tygra_Rules, itâs your turn!
Funny thing. I first posted âSnarf Takes Up ther Challengeâ and âThe Evil Harp of Charr Ninâ, but didnât know if that one would have been acceptable, so I thought hard and remembered âMumm-Ra Berbilâ lol.
Now, after some time I come back with one question involving my favorite TC:
Usually Tygra has to wrap his bolowhip around himself to turn invisible, but there are some episodes in which he turns invisible withou duing so; which eps are those? I can bring 4 to my mind.
Exodus
The Slaves Of Castle Plun-Darr
The Spaceship Beneath The Sands
The Trial Of Mind Power
Have I missed any?
Interestingly, these episodes were all written by Leonard Starr. It wasnât until Peter Lawrenceâs first episode, âThe Time Capsuleâ, that the whip became instrumental for the invisibility power (and itâs worth saying that this was PLâs first episode whichever order we take the episodes in - production, air date, or the continuity order weâre assembling!).
I think he didnât turn invisible in âSlaves of Castle Plundarrâ; he was under the grass though.
Youâve got 3 out of 4, althought i didnât have âThe Spaceship Beneath the Sandsâ in mind, so there are still 2 more to go.
Youâre right. I keep thinking he should turn invisible when Monkian says âanything I can see, I can hitâ.
Pumm-Ra is another one, he turns visible at the end with no use of the whip. And now I think about it, this also happens in The Time Capsule when heâs under the earth!
Now youâve got all of them, Liam!
Exodus, Pumm-Ra, Spaceship Beneath the Sands, Time Capsule and Trial of Mind Power (that makes 5, one more than I could recall).
Thereâs a sixth one: Mongor⌠he takes out his whip to âcreate a distractionâ and hit it against the ground, causing some leaves to lift and then turns invisible, but he never wraps the whip around his body.
I find these eps interesting because they completely conrtadict the âhe has to wrap his bolowhip around him to get invisibleâ thing.
Anyway, your turn!
Interesting indeed. Actually, I think it was the other way around, as the invisibility was a ânatural featureâ initially, and didnât become dependent on the whip until Peter Lawrence started writing episodes.
Anyhow, my turn to think of a fresh trivia question - oh heck, here we go again . . .
OK. Sometimes the animators got lazy, and re-used the same designs for monsters (and allegedly vehicles as well). I can think of at least two instances where this happens, there could be more. Letâs hear them!
I agree with you in that it seems to be the other way around; I meant to say that, maybe I didnât make it clear. From âExodusâ you can say his invisibility was a natural feature, which is somehow also stated in the trial of mind power when Panthro says Tygraâs clan has special powers.
As for your question, no idea ![]()
In response to Liamâs trivia question:
The Rock Giant that Ratar-O creates in âFeliner - Part 1â is identical in design to the Rock Giant from the episode âThe Rock Giantâ. (although colored differently).
The Kymera spaceship is identical in design to the spaceship in âThe Transferâ that holds the radioactive sphere.
While not identical, the Mossland Monsterâs design is very similar to that of the Baleful Swamp monster that Mumm-Ra brings to life in âTotem of Deraâ.
Another answer:
Baron Karnorâs gargoyles are reused as guardians of the Sound Stones.
Good answers - Wilycub, you have the most already, so Iâll give you this one.
The one that was missed was the Inflamer from âAll That Glittersâ - it reappeared as one of Mumm-Raâs demons in âThe Trial Of Evilâ.
