Game: ThunderCat Trivia

Yeah, me too, haha.

Okay, new one:

What does a deck of cards have in common with the Sword of Omens?

LiamABC · January 27, 2017, 8:24pm

Well, sometimes the artwork for the kings can show a similar-ish looking weapon in their hands, but I’m guessing your question is a little bit more universal than that.

Wilycub · January 28, 2017, 6:13pm

This sounds like one of those “trick” joke questions. I think we might need a little clue to point us in the right direction, Zax. :biggrin

thezaxfactor · January 28, 2017, 7:18pm

Not a trick or a joke, but perhaps badly phrased. [emoji53] How about this… What suit of cards has something in common with the Sword of Omens?

LiamABC · January 28, 2017, 10:09pm

I’ll say spades, because some European variants have different suits, and Spain in particular has a suit of swords, which in Spanish is “espadas” - which I suspect could be why we say spades, as a mistranslation. Seriously, has anyone ever seen an actual physical spade that looks like a playing card symbol? I haven’t, although it could be said to resemble a very short squashed up sword (or at least a squashed up dagger).

thezaxfactor · January 29, 2017, 4:14am

Hmmm. The spade is the right connection, but not because of “espada”. There’s another reason, far less complicated…

Is it that the Sword of Omens has a spade design on it, right beneath the eye of Thundera?

Wilycub · January 29, 2017, 5:15am

I was coming here to post the same thing.

That’s it! The spade shape is actually present in a few designs on the show. The Lair has one, too, and a lot of Thunderian buildings are vaguely spade-shaped. Or perhaps I’m seeing things that aren’t there… [emoji849]

Here is a tricky one (especially if you avoid using an episode guide!).

I count ten “good guy” characters that are referenced directly by name in episode titles. I am looking for specific names (for example episodes like “Berbils” are not what I am looking for).

Imma give one episode here, since the alliance of the character is debatable and we never learn his actual name - “Secret of the Ice King”. This would count since we only know him as “the Ice King” and that name is in the title.

Who can name the other 9 episodes?

thezaxfactor · January 31, 2017, 9:21am

Ooo, a challenge. Let’s see. Not counting the Anointment Trials…

Mandora – The Evil-Chaser
Mandora and the Pirates
Snarf Takes Up the Challenge
Turmagar the Tuska
Dr. Dometone
Mumm-Rana
Mumm-Rana’s Belt
Leah
Screwloose

Is that all of 'em? [emoji848]

Wilycub · January 31, 2017, 12:14pm

For some reason I was easily able to recall the episodes named after villains but not the good guys. :biggrin But I think Zax has got pretty much all of them, unless repeats are not counted (Mandora and Mumm-Rana), in which case I’d say “Hachiman’s Honor”.

ButterflyBoy · January 31, 2017, 10:32pm

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I didn’t count repeats, and I did count the anointment trials (once, for Lion-O). Still, Zaxfactor gave a satisfactory answer to my original question. Does anyone wanna take another stab before he posts his question, just for fun?

ButterflyBoy · January 31, 2017, 10:40pm

Wait, I just realized we pretty much know all the answers. If we take out Zaxfactor’s two doubles and replace them with “Lion-O’s annointment trials” and “Hachiman’s Honor” we got our remaining 9. Sorry this got a little confusing guys.

ButterflyBoy · February 2, 2017, 5:20pm

I am calling thezaxfactor the winner. Your turn!

Wilycub · February 9, 2017, 7:01am

Oith calling Zax. Oith calling Zax. (If you’re a fan of the old Bugs Bunny cartoons, you’ll get the joke) :biggrin

thezaxfactor · February 10, 2017, 12:25pm

Whoops! Okay, here’s a new one.

What three episodes feature only one Lunatak? (Amok does not count independently from Luna)

I think it’s just three. [emoji53]

Wilycub · February 10, 2017, 1:02pm

Let’s see:
Psych Out! - Alluro
Vultureman’s Revenge - Chilla
Mumm-Rana’s Belt - Luna & Amok

thezaxfactor · February 10, 2017, 2:46pm

Exactly the three I had in mind! You’re up, Wilycub. [emoji4]

Wilycub · February 10, 2017, 3:45pm

Thanks, Zax. I was almost certain that one of those was going to be wrong. Lucky me!

I’m going to post three questions together. First person to get all (or most answers correct) wins.

Apart from the Anointment Trials, which is the only episode in which Lion-O does not perform his ThunderCats HO! chant?
In which episode do we see Ma-Mutt’s Doggy Bowl?
Which is the only Season 2 episode (I’m considering the show is split into 4 Seasons) in which neither t he Mutants, nor the Lunataks, nor the new ThunderCats appear?

Good luck! :thumbsup
