I will always be thankful for my uncle introducing this show to me when I was a kid. He even brought me the DVD collection when I was 10. Still my favourite show as a 19 year old XD
Your uncle is awesome! 😎😎😎😎Truth be told this show is missing from my dvd shelf , next to the original Transformers and Masters of the Universe and Ulysees 31 and most importantly Battle of The Planets DVDs. 😁😎😎👍🖖
You have to love the fact that since this was an earlier episode of the series, you can see the inexperience of Lion-O but as the series goes on he starts to become a strong character and Leader.
That's what you get when it's a 12 year old in an adult body. A malfunctioning stasis pod had him age, but it couldn't alter or mature his mind. It REALLY sucks to me that the trip cost him his childhood.
Thundercats was/is so good! It had a lot elements, that made it stand out. Even the music score, was good. Silverhawks was crap! It was a poor rip off of, 'Battle of the Planets', which came out in the 1970s. I was shocked, more kids in the 1980s, who were born in the early 1970s, didn't see the similarities.
It's because Mumra first challenges the Mutants to go and fetch the eye. They failed. So when they return, Mumra calls them failures. They they ask if he could do better. And he takes off to this scene. That's why.
No, these animation jobs shouldn't have been off-shored. Do you think the people who taught the Japanese how to animate couldn't do this themselves? It's just more corporate greed from the US firms that got their cheap labour in Japan at the time.
Mumm-ra was gonna attack eather way lion-o knew that so he defended himself that don't make him a villain. Lol 😂 I don't really care anymore for all I know lion-o could be the villain I be a horrible lawyer I off to smoke a joint now
Mumm Ra's reflection is of his mummy form, not his muscle-bound monster form. I think maybe he was freaked out to see himself as he really is, an old mummy, instead of his transformation.
@@Zulu-Lemon Personally, I think it would be cooler to know, not just who he was, but how the times were just prior to his metamorphosis. Not sure if I cared about such origins as a kid, though.
There is a prequel comic that shows Mumm-ra 's origin. He was an egyptian priest who tried to kill his pharoah and when his plan was discovered he was imprisoned within a pyramid. He begged to be freed, but the ancient spirits of evil were angered that he misused their power and as punishment he was forced to create stone statues (which would be the same statues in his pyramid) before they would grant him their power
@@Zulu-Lemon a prequel comic was made that showed a snippet of what his life was like. As well as Tashee, Chetara's sixth sense, and even Grune. Its a nice comic.
@@Whitechapelchap You know...the rest of the world might agree with you. And who could blame you? Only me. I'm sorry, but as hot as they both are, I still think of Cheetara as a different woman from Milla. I can't agree with her as a casting choice. They're too different in my head
@@QuartuvLarry If I put up with the girl from Disney's Princess Diaries playing Catwoman, then I'm sure you'd get through it if it was done well. But I understand if you're passionate about this.
*Mumm Ra emerges from his sarcophagus and finds mirrors facing his sarcophagus* Mumm Ra: NOOOO! *hides* Boar Evil Spirit: I can't believe he's afraid of his own reflection. Vulture Evil Spirit: Pretty sneaky of Lion-O to place those mirrors around his sarcophagus. Crocodile Evil Spirit: Pretty damn evil too. Bull Evil Spirit: Even we're not that evil.
Ahh yes, 80s cartoons. I remember them well. The choppy animation, the corny dialog, the cheesy music during the fight scene - and of course a little sexual tension between characters for the adults who may be watching (Cheetara loved her some Lion-O). We loved it back then and it still warms our hearts to this day.
43 here Thundercats is my all time #1 favorite series and im glad we got as many episodes as we did would love for the story to continue like they did with Motu on Netflix. Thundercats Hoooooo!!!!!!!
I watched this episode many a time on a taped vhs. It always filled me with dread even knowing Lion-O would be safe. I guess he just got real lucky. The scene was always badass with the way they broke such thick trees. I don't get that same sense of power or destruction from shows these days. Lasers and rock crumbling didn't convey the force the way this scene did.
I wonder what all the other voice actors thought after Mumm-ra let out that final scream at 2::44 and when he return to his pyramid that was over the top.
@Derrick Williams yeah he is too proud - never listens to Tigra - always thinks he can take MummRa on his own - needs back up from Panthro in the Thundertank
Lion-O had to defeat Mumm-Ra as one of his Trials to become the Lord of the Thundercats. He did so by destroying Mumm-Ra's sarcophagus, the source of his power. So yes, it can, and has been done.
Thundercats often seemed like a cat version of He-Man, you know? What scared me when I watched this show as a kid was when there'd be a commercial break, and the final shot before it would become epic and still. There's a shot of Lion-O that I found on Google that I'm sure is the shot that scared me as a kid. I can handle it now, but it's still a little scary to me.
"Hey, can I get an upgrade on this sword?" "What did you have in mind?" "I don't want to have to say thunder 4x. Sometimes Im in a really tight spot and it would help me out if I could just say Thundercats Ho instead of Thunder...Thunder...Thunder...Thundercats...hoooooo!" "Makes sense. Leave it here and Ill text you when it's ready." "Ok, so do you have an estimate on how long it might take?" "He-man also wanted an upgrade and he was here before you. Plus he needed to have his boots with the fur cleaned. I'm going to guestimate that it will be about a week and a half." "Sounds good."
I will always be thankful for my uncle introducing this show to me when I was a kid. He even brought me the DVD collection when I was 10. Still my favourite show as a 19 year old XD
Your uncle is awesome! 😎😎😎😎Truth be told this show is missing from my dvd shelf , next to the original Transformers and Masters of the Universe and Ulysees 31 and most importantly Battle of The Planets DVDs. 😁😎😎👍🖖
@@U2QuoZepplin oh damn
My favorite too i remember watching it on fox5 before moving to florida in 1994 and cartoon network getting smart and adding it to toonami in 97
I did the same for my nephew and niece!!.. they really love them!!.. we are big fans of thubdrcat's!! Thundercat's hooooooo!!..
I’m a 2000s baby, my mom introduced it to me when i was 7 or 8, i still have all the DVDs today ( i’m 23 now) and I still love it !
My favorite show when I was a small child in the mid 1980's. The music and sound effects still get me pumped
Best villain! Even though he never succeeds, he still manages to be legitimately scary.
"There will be... another time!"
the ever living evil, mumraaaaaa. His only weakness, mirrors and shiny surfaces.
You have to love the fact that since this was an earlier episode of the series, you can see the inexperience of Lion-O but as the series goes on he starts to become a strong character and Leader.
It's literally the second episode.
That's what you get when it's a 12 year old in an adult body. A malfunctioning stasis pod had him age, but it couldn't alter or mature his mind. It REALLY sucks to me that the trip cost him his childhood.
I must fight alone…. Ten seconds latter, thunder thunder😂
Don't forget the "hoooooooo"!!! LMAOOOO! 😹😹😹😝
Pride do cometh before a fall after all.
and he doesn't know how to fight
Thundercats...HELLLLLLLP! 😂😂😂😂
The problem with Liono is that his main super power is the ability to call for help.
Mum-ra sure is a happy chap with all that laughing
And he also got a soft spot for Ma Mutt
It's Mumm-Ra!
lol! he's just tickled with joy
MummRa was terrifying the first time you see him as a boy. I was hooked instantly.
I'm 47 years old I still think thundercats is more popular than silver Hawks
It was but Silerhawks was ok
Without a doubt man. I loved both shows but thunder cats was another level.
Thats for sure brother. Btw same age!!!💪🏻
Thundercats was/is so good! It had a lot elements, that made it stand out. Even the music score, was good.
Silverhawks was crap! It was a poor rip off of, 'Battle of the Planets', which came out in the 1970s. I was shocked, more kids in the 1980s, who were born in the early 1970s, didn't see the similarities.
I'm 100% sure it is.
Mumm Ra is so jolly he laughs more than Santa
Hahahahahaha hahahahaha
*laugh* Hilarious.
He literally laughs like an alcoholic who's been smoking since their teens.
It’s always a great day to be evil!
Mumm Ra is just delighted to be here, man.
Gotta love how the mutants TROLL THE SHIT OUT OF HIM.
That one time. Too bad they never really followed up on that.
Mutants?
@@AgingFluxThe faction/race name of S-S-Slithe, Monkian and Jackalman.
Mutants from the planet plun-darr
If you love it so much then marry it
It's because Mumra first challenges the Mutants to go and fetch the eye. They failed. So when they return, Mumra calls them failures.
They they ask if he could do better. And he takes off to this scene.
That's why.
Mumm-Ra wasn’t afraid of his reflection, he realized Lionel has the Infinity Gauntlet!
Lionel ? Lol
His name says it all...
When you realize Mumm-Ra is really defending Earth from a hostile alien envasion
Exactly. And not just any hostile aliens even worse he was defending it from a race of furries who arrived naked in the first episode.
Lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣!
would you rather them die on thundara when it exploded? they have to live and carry on their legacy somewhere
"Where evil exists, Mumm-Ra lives." Kind of makes me think his intentions are less than noble.
Actually he is evil. He even says it himself. As long as evil exists Mumm-ra lives
All give thanks to all the tireless Japanese animators to bring this to life for North America. This whole era 😮
No, these animation jobs shouldn't have been off-shored. Do you think the people who taught the Japanese how to animate couldn't do this themselves? It's just more corporate greed from the US firms that got their cheap labour in Japan at the time.
Lion-O literally threw the first strike just based on Mumm-Ra’s looks
who’s the real villain?
There’s already an episode where Lion-O learns just that moral lesson. Might be coincidental continuity, but continuity it is! 😉👍
Lion-o is a jock. They all are. Lion-o would straight up bully retarded kids, and push wheelchair kids down the stairs.
Hes still a kid in mind, he didn't go through the phases of adulthood, by the end of season 1 he is way more mature.
But Mumm ra was aggressive n disrespectful first.
Mumm-ra was gonna attack eather way lion-o knew that so he defended himself that don't make him a villain. Lol 😂 I don't really care anymore for all I know lion-o could be the villain I be a horrible lawyer I off to smoke a joint now
Damn i m 36 and grow up watching this show, including He Man and Laserion lol
Im 24 and i grew up on these older cartoons. Shows today suck!
I'm 44 and used to watch this after school. That Mum-Ra was a bit scary when I was little.
That Fart Of Doom meant:- same here. 44 and still watching he man, g I joe and other cartoons. I’ll stop watching them the day i die
@Derrick Williamsi learned how to draw, by tracing Thundercat coloring books.. Mum-ra was my favorite villain to draw..
Voltron bruh 😏
That last scene was pretty cool. Sly was mocking Mumm-Ra after he failed to get the eye of Thundara
The blistering line of questioning from the minions at 3:59😂. No dark magic in existence could have closed that tomb door fast enough.
Well Said! I always luved the "dark theme" of that scene. I can't imagine, how dark this series could have gotten, if it were not, a kids show.
Mumm Ra's reflection is of his mummy form, not his muscle-bound monster form. I think maybe he was freaked out to see himself as he really is, an old mummy, instead of his transformation.
and thats how mumm ra was mainly defeated in the early season of thundercats. by season 2 however that weakness was removed
He knows he's a decayed form. He mentions it every time he transforms.
He didn't laugh at that the way he was laughing at everything else lol
so u telling me mumra suffers from bigorexia body dysmorphia? 😂😂😂
@zenastronomy don’t we all
Remember when villians use to talk about themselves in third person? Mumm Ra does.
William Sleight The hardest villain of all time
William Sleight Yeah but Mumm-Ra had the muscle and power to back it up
If hes immortal he could just sleep until the thundercats become exstinct
Maybe he was just too impatient... xD
He actually in the comics gives Lion-O a youth potion so they can keep at it…
That’s a good point!
But he wants that Eye of Thundara! What if senior citizen Lion-O drops it in a cistern right before a heart attack?
the thundercats would reproduce. When Mumm-ra wake up, he would need to fight an entire furry army.
It would have been interesting to see Mumm-Ra's origin story, from the time of First Earth.
Geddo I always thought so myself... but there’s something cool about not knowing exactly who he is why he is that way
Yes
@@Zulu-Lemon Personally, I think it would be cooler to know, not just who he was, but how the times were just prior to his metamorphosis. Not sure if I cared about such origins as a kid, though.
There is a prequel comic that shows Mumm-ra 's origin.

@@Zulu-Lemon a prequel comic was made that showed a snippet of what his life was like. As well as Tashee, Chetara's sixth sense, and even Grune.
Its a nice comic.
Soundtracks made these great shows A Masterpiece
True
Sword of oman. Give me sight beyond sight!!! Memories!!
me and my nephews loved this, best of the 80's, mumm ra a creepy enemy we loved these
When the second season comes along Mumm Ra's reflection doesn't scare him anymore. The ancient spirits of evil remove that weakness.
that just makes it fair. If he has the weakness.. anyone can beat him, even the kids. Removal of the weakness makes him scary again.
Man, this guy scared the shit out of me as a kid. Still kinda does.
Tigra:"We heard battle cries" That was Lion O on the ground covering from Mum-ra when he saw the eye wasn't working this time.
The music is just epic better than any movie
Idk. Did you see The Batman with that Harry Potter actor? The music score gave my chills, chills. Lol
Makes you wonder why the TCats don't just line Cats lair with mirrors.
It might be too hard to keep mirrors intact during fights?
Sairi Erona
But breaking a mirror is a thousand years of bad luck
Mumm-Ra is ever living, a thousand years of bad luck would be like a blink of the eye to him.
@@scorchx3000 Besides, that's why he's got the mutants on his side. He doesn't have to face mirrors if THEY have to.
They have the same problem
"Unspeakable face" is quite an insult.
Woah, how strong are Thundarians and Mumm-Ra to hold and throw a piece of a tree THAT big?
Must have super strength😮
The eye of thundara will be MAEEEN!!!😂😂😂
Cheetara was so fine!😀
Leonidez Garza To me she was the very definition of womanhood. Strong, courageous, loving, compassionate and nurturing
Loved Cheetara
That chick from The Fifth Element and Resident Evil should play her. She's Cheetara incarnate.
@@Whitechapelchap You know...the rest of the world might agree with you. And who could blame you? Only me. I'm sorry, but as hot as they both are, I still think of Cheetara as a different woman from Milla. I can't agree with her as a casting choice. They're too different in my head

Cheetara looks 200% fuckable!
Lo @ the mutants waiting to roast him when he got back
Cereal Killa that made me laugh too.
Did you get it ?? He didnt answer 😆😂🤣😅😭💀⚰😇
This is very deep - people with hate in their hearts tend to have crippling insecurity.
Mumm-ra transforms into an immortal super being.... prances around. Gets scared of his own reflection. And cowers....
...what a badass.
Lol
*Mumm Ra emerges from his sarcophagus and finds mirrors facing his sarcophagus*
Mumm Ra: NOOOO! *hides*
Boar Evil Spirit: I can't believe he's afraid of his own reflection.
Vulture Evil Spirit: Pretty sneaky of Lion-O to place those mirrors around his sarcophagus.
Crocodile Evil Spirit: Pretty damn evil too.
Bull Evil Spirit: Even we're not that evil.
Loved the background music. I thought it was cool then, and still gives me chills (sort of) now.
Damit lion-o you just punched a tree in half. Deal with that fool mumra and be done with it!
@gmu_alum08 True. And he have to grow up real quickly too. Some think the first encounter was a fluke.
Wow!! My left ear really enjoyed this. Memories.
He was called a boy because Mumra knew the galactic travel messed with the aging of all the thundercats especially Lion'O.
Ahh yes, 80s cartoons. I remember them well. The choppy animation, the corny dialog, the cheesy music during the fight scene - and of course a little sexual tension between characters for the adults who may be watching (Cheetara loved her some Lion-O). We loved it back then and it still warms our hearts to this day.
my left ear loved this, my right, not so much.
Ikr?
Man, the way Cheetarah says "awfully courageous too...." she's like a Sexpot!
Cheetarah was a naughty kitty. Loved her!
😂 She gave him a complicate she liked Tygra romantically
Lol all Mumm-ra did was hold up his arms and laugh the whole time
He snapped those trees like twigs.
He did tackle Lion-O to the ground. Probably hurt Lion-O, given how strong Mumm-Ra was to snap a big tree trunk in half.
"...As Lord of the Thunder-Cats, I must fight this demon alone?"
Mumm Ra has 6 pack abs!! LOL
Cartoons today cannot be this dark anymore.
Too bad. This was great.
I loved the fact that this dude didn't get his powers until he he got filled with Melanin.
After all these years, I only realised now that Lion-O has a bad case of less sun tanning on his face and wrist.
He's da ever living ..but he's scared a his own reflection😂
43 here Thundercats is my all time #1 favorite series and im glad we got as many episodes as we did would love for the story to continue like they did with Motu on Netflix. Thundercats Hoooooo!!!!!!!
Mumm Ra runs from his reflection like a woman runs from accountability!!😂
This cartoon is a master piece. The characters, storylines, music.. all a+
The series is almost 40 years old...and is still higher quality than most modern cartoons
Mumm Ra is an earth warrior who defend his planet from alien cat invader..he is a mummy with ancient power to strengthen his decay body..
"You can't destroy Mumm-ra Cub" Favorite Quote lol!!
Prayers for healing of Jeremy Odin Scott Hammer Armstrong McGuire Senior
I love how Mumm ra always called Lion-O boooooooy!
One thing I’ve never understood: what do these people have against pants?
Same thing Winnie The Pooh and Donald Duck have
crashpal lmfao
Gotta show off them squat gainz
Yes even the hulk always wears pants
Athletic leotards it was the 80's
Funny how mumm ra just stands there laughing at lion -o when all that time he could have easily killed him!!
I love that!!
I remember this! To go back to that time.
1:57 I thought Mumm-Ra’s was calling him ugly at the moment. 😂 😂😂😂
Looking back, it speaks volumes how powerful Mumm-Ra is if you're *punching trees in half* and yet you're the one running scared.
I watched this episode many a time on a taped vhs. It always filled me with dread even knowing Lion-O would be safe. I guess he just got real lucky. The scene was always badass with the way they broke such thick trees. I don't get that same sense of power or destruction from shows these days. Lasers and rock crumbling didn't convey the force the way this scene did.
I forgot just that quickly how strong these guys were nice fight for a first encounter
My childhood memories 😘
the music from this fight scene is missing from the complete series dvd set
It's because it originally didn't have it yet until the 3rd episode
Lion-o looked a little off when he was trying to summon the Thundercats on his back.. He was holding the sword like a shake-weight.
Mumra owned him and Liono just was trying not to see his own death
After watching this episode when I was A kid, I said to myself, mum ra ain't shit, all you need is to A mirror in that motherfucker's face!
It always makes me laugh when Mum-Ra calls Lion-O a boy. LOL
Well, he IS biologically a 10-year-old in the body of a grown man.
Mumm Ra seeing his reflection is like what Kryptonite is to Superman
Ancient spirits of Evil! Transform this decayed form, to Mum-ra, the ever living!
Me at 3:52 when I go to bed after a bad day! LOL
Yu ain't neva lied, I got tears in my eyes from that one😭
love the sound of all the mucous and spit in Mumm-ra's voice
BOYYY
Right 😂😂😂
That's what i do every morning when i look through the mirror. Lol
So for the record, Lion-O attacked first.
The version I saw had no music. Like literally, no music at all, and it actually benefited the scene to a degree.
His own reflection being his weakness was one of the most epic things in cartoon history. Also, shut up Snarf.
I wonder what all the other voice actors thought after Mumm-ra let out that final scream at 2::44 and when he return to his pyramid that was over the top.
This cartoon was superb and epic. Love the Thunder Cats series ❤
Cartoons of my childhood! My favorite
After school I always watched it)) I think it was 1986 or 88
Silly Lion-O never asking for help until its too late
@Derrick Williams yeah he is too proud - never listens to Tigra - always thinks he can take MummRa on his own - needs back up from Panthro in the Thundertank
I've often wondered how the Thundercats can actually ever really defeat or destroy Mumm-Ra. he is immortal they are not
Curtis Gangler he’s indestructible. He says himself that wherever evil lives, he lives.
kind of useless fight then
I think if evil dies he dies, i guess that's the point.
Lion-O had to defeat Mumm-Ra as one of his Trials to become the Lord of the Thundercats. He did so by destroying Mumm-Ra's sarcophagus, the source of his power. So yes, it can, and has been done.
He came back from that, sad to say. At the very end of that episode, it showed him regenerating.
Music was cool, super dramatic and Mumm-ra was a good baddie!
Thundercats stood alone outside of the entire Marvel and DC.
Mumm-Ra had him if only he didn’t get scared of his own reflection 🙀😹
Thundercats often seemed like a cat version of He-Man, you know?
What scared me when I watched this show as a kid was when there'd be a commercial break, and the final shot before it would become epic and still. There's a shot of Lion-O that I found on Google that I'm sure is the shot that scared me as a kid. I can handle it now, but it's still a little scary to me.
Adorei o vídeo ficou muito bom adoro esse desenho animado é um dos melhores desenho animado que eu já vi esse episódio é demais adorei parabéns
Ironically about as close as Mumm-Ra ever got to actually killing Lion-O.
Breaking tree's and using them aa weapons! This was an awesome time of living💪
Everyone forget Lion-o is a toddler in an adult body.
Mumra was the best
"Hey, can I get an upgrade on this sword?"
"What did you have in mind?"
"I don't want to have to say thunder 4x. Sometimes Im in a really tight spot and it would help me out if I could just say Thundercats Ho instead of Thunder...Thunder...Thunder...Thundercats...hoooooo!"
"Makes sense. Leave it here and Ill text you when it's ready."
"Ok, so do you have an estimate on how long it might take?"
"He-man also wanted an upgrade and he was here before you. Plus he needed to have his boots with the fur cleaned. I'm going to guestimate that it will be about a week and a half."
"Sounds good."
Having to shave must be a real bitch for Mumm-Ra.
Live action thundercats Must happen.

*☼ **3:13** omg! thats **_exactly_** the only thing i fear as well!!* =0
