If you're a sucker for Kirby's style then it's definitely worth watching for that alone. The stories are mid to low, the character animation is rudimentary, and the backdrops are great. There are some fun ideas in the show though and as mentioned earlier the villains are quite interesting.

Thundarr is the most underrated cartoon of it's day. It's harrowing how little WB does with the property. They own the precursor to He-man along with Thundercats and never once considered a crossover, a movie adaption, nothing. It's a tragedy.

And what a form! Hubba hubba!

That opening was so fucking kino. I remember watching it on boomerang back in the day and always getting hyped. Recently I decided I want to try and make my own little pulp novella set in a similar sort of world to Thundarr's as well as Ralph Bakshi's Wizards. I just think a post apocalyptic world of lost technology and magic is very cool.

There's an early 20th century pulp author who really pioneered a lot of this distant future post-apocalypse fantasy earth with a wandering hero stuff but I fucking forgot his name, it reminded me a lot of Thundarr and even Samurai Jack when I heard about his stuff
It wasn't Jack Vance I'm sure. Basically
>>153229623
if anyone remember you should probably read his work too, big influence on /co/ stuff like this

Better than He-man and Thundercats since those things literally only existed for toys and it showed

I'm really tired of "toy cartoon bad" takes. Alot of those shows had fun writing, good action, and cool visuals. It's also worth noting how much toy cartoons evolved overtime. If you really want to go out into the weeds, everything from BTAS to Secret Saturdays were "toy cartoons".

It'd be just as easy a crossover to realize as MOTU/Thundercats IMO. Just have Mumm-ra and Gemini build some sort of space-time doohickey that summons one cast into the other's setting, and hijinx ensue.

Really alot of warner's acquired IPs should have gotten small revival projects here and there. Granted alot of the rankin bass holidy stuff from the 2000's turned out rough, the occasional Thundarr or Thundercats DTV movie couldnt have hurt. Odd how much merch Thundercats still gets while Thundarr is widely forgotten and largely unmerchandised...

I think one of the earliest 20th post apocalyptic novel was, The Earth Abides.

The second part is about the Ishi trying build a society with other survivors.

This show had the best wizard supervillains, like Gemini. I think Adventure Time stole a lot of their ideas.

>>153243080
It did, but generally speaking AT stole alot from other genre staples. The early seasons are as much Conan and Thundarr as they are Jungle Book and Peter Pan. Over the last year I cooked up an AT pastiche out of frustration with what the series became. Besides focusing on surreal and fantastic, retaining a serious tone, and ditching all the 2010's humor an idea I had saw not-Finn teaming up with not-Thundarr. I'll catbox it just to avoid derailing the thread

Tethys was the warlord Ty-Foon slayed and inherited his sword from. Inplace of a sun-sword this one would hold power over the tides and slash opponents like a water jet cutter. I did have a few villainesses that fit the big bad evil gal descriptor though.
