"and you eater of world. May you taste our righteous fire, And choke on it. For my planet's sake, I spit my last breath at thee" I love this quote, this alone is so epic yet so underrated
I'm a brazilian fan of the series and all I can say is: The show was one of the best I ever saw on TV... I loved it and I hated they never made a REAL END for it... However, the story itself is enough to make us all hail the Warrior planets!
Man, I'm also a brazilian fan of this series. I watched it as a kid on Cartoon Network, and I have to say, I remember that scene vividly. It was a glorious end for the Vizier, and I really hate that the series didn't have a proper conclusion.
this series showed some characters who were really gruff and stubborn, born jackasses like vizier and mantle, but in the end they showed that they were more then just pains the butt. They did what they did for their planets and their people, and their ends were ones of sacrifice and honor, against an enemy that understood none of those things, or their power. The vizier sacrificed himself in one last act of defiance against the beast, Mantle used his last strength to destroy the control crystal.
Yeah, its also believable because they were ancient and in positions of power. Lord Mantle and the Vizir carried the burden of every death each of the other planets inflicted upon their people over the decades they were in power, so of course they would not trust or like them, even as allies. Each of the old guard represented a type of ruler: the uncompromising autocrat (Mantle), the level headed ruler with a familial Achilles' heel (Cryos) , the corrupt schemer (Femur) and the embittered traditionalist (Vizir). All of them were flawed, but all truly cared for their people, always did what they tought best and were more than the sum of their parts. That is what gave them depth, what made them such great characters.
The bit where Pyrus reaches out his hand to his always gets me. This is as good a scene as you'll see in anything from anywhere. It was the planet-scale equivalent of the Vizier striking the Eater of Worlds in last defiance before being consumed.
This character easily stands out as one of the best I ever saw in my childhood. I only hope that when our species faces the end of our world, we meet it with the same courage as him.
Mainfraime Entertainment knew how to make characters the epitome of badass. And when the time came for it; they knew how to make you absolutely weep watching those same characters meet their end proud, defiant, and honorable til their dying breath. Pyrus put it best: They died as they lived; Gloriously!
What makes it all the better is the Vizier is voiced by the guy who played Inferno in Beast Wars...one wonders if he got picked again for this as gag...since he kinda looks insect-like too.
To those questioning the Vizser's actions, this scene could be considered a black eye moment. Planet Fire was doomed with its damaged world engine and would have been consumed anyway. Viszer was also questioning himself on his place in the future, with Pyrus becoming a strong and responsible leader, not only because of his teachings, but because of the friends he made. People he acted harshly and at times unfairly to. Viszer also chose to stay on his home world because it was all he knew. There are people can't deal with change and would prefer to die standing on what they would consider home soil. So he did that, turning a moment of defeat into one of pride and defiance, choosing to die standing than live on the run and in fear, hoping to expose some form of weakness and give is own death meaning, if not just delay the Beast Planet and give it pause. It was a desperate act, one filled with pride and emotion. One which required soul searching and accepting what one may not want to accept. One where they choose martyrdom instead of uncertainty. A glorious death instead of a life of sorrow. This is why this series is such a cult classic. Its graphics may not have aged well, but its story is practically immortal due to is characters and it writing. And in this political correctness environment, our future generations may never see this sort of writing again.
The Show really deserve a Final Season because they just put the Beast out of way but others planets sufer because they put ther Beast in other star system
I believe one of the reasons this show ultimately ended up canceled was because there was little the good guys could do against the Beast Planet and thus caused darkness-induced audience apathy. The third season, had it been produced, would have given the good guys a meaningful victory over the beast. This show was from the good old days, even if the CGI has aged poorly. If they reboot this series, then I fear it won't have the powerful writing the original had. I also fear such a reboot will likely end up being used to push social agendas like most modern-day shows and movies. Too many people who are high up in the entertainment industry want to shove petty politics into our shows.
I mean the show did deal with a lot of issues, racism, refugees, mental health, politics. So I don't really know what you could be worried about it handles all of these well I don't see why it wouldn't handle the others just as well.
@tombakerazshadow This whole scene is probably the best the series has to offer: in trope language, these three minutes contain: Tearjerker Worthy Opponent Crowning Moment of Heartwarming Heroic Sacrifice Senseless Sacrifice Crowning Music of Awesome Facing the Bullets One Liner Crowning Moment of Awesome Truly this is one of the grandest moments of children and young adult's television.
T_T I'm with you. Geez... of all parts of every episode there is of the show I just had to randomly pick this one to watch... actually I'm cutting onions right now... -sniiiff-
I'm the Nostalgia Critic! I remember it so you don't have to! Let's talk about something crap from the 2010s! Me: FOR FUCK'S SAKE DOUG - TALK ABOUT THIS FORGOTTEN GEM!
The planet was already doomed to begin with. And as the Vizier said himself, he felt that he was no longer needed, plus he was deeply sorry about the way he treated the non-Fire races. I guess he saw this as the only way to buy the others some time, and to repent from his misjudgement.
I wonder if the writer was a Trekkie? Couple lines used were also in the Star Trek films. "Let's slip the dogs of war", said by Graveheart and "I spit at thee" by Visier. The first was said by General Chang and the other by Khan. You know its a good show when you get teary eyed. Hopefully one day they decide to return to this show and give it an ending.
@tandler "I spit my last breath at thee" Isn't that a line of Moby Dick? and also Wrath of Khan?, first there where Shakespeare references in Beast Wars, the guys at Mainframe had a lot of talent.
the 80's had the death of optimus prime the 90's had the destruction of planet fire cartoons are nuts, but these plot twists are something else entirely.
Someone need to make the the Third And FINAL SEASON.... i mean most of these voice actors are doing the Gundam series so there still around and theres so much that needs to be answered really. I wonder if there's a way to Make Rainmaker understand that WE WANT THE THIRD SEASON.
@kilmorecombine this was actually pretty biblicle if you think about it Vizier died to save everyone reminds me of what Christ did for us. FOR MY PLANETS SAKE....I SPIT MY LAST BREATH AT THE!!!!
how is it a last stand thats running into a room full of people with all kinds of weapons that want to kill u unarmed. what would u hope to acomplish by doing that lol
Hopefully one day Mainframe (Rainmaker) will make the right choice and come back & finish the series instead of releasing pointless Barbie movies. Shows like Shadow Raiders are somethings we never see very much of.
Ramming Planet Fire into it actually did seem to affect the Beast Planet; part of the claw was destroyed, and the entire thing was knocked off-balance despite technically succeeding in eating the planet.
"and you eater of world.
May you taste our righteous fire, And choke on it.
For my planet's sake, I spit my last breath at thee"
I love this quote, this alone is so epic yet so underrated
Great use of the mobie dick line based on star trek 2 wrath of khan.
Dat delivery tho... "May you taste our righteous fire and CHOKE on it! For my planet's sake, I SPIT my last breath at thee!!"
KHANNNNNNNNN
With my last breath, I STAB AT THEE!
This line makes me love the whole series. Perfect epic line.
"You died like you lived. Gloriously."
Fuck yeah he died gloriously. HE RAMMED A PLANET WITH ANOTHER PLANET! You don't get more glorious than that.
His voice acting was top notch in this scene
I'm a brazilian fan of the series and all I can say is:

This is the way the world ends. Not with a whimper, but with a roar!
This will always be the best episode of the series for me.
I grew up with this show and I loved every single minute of it it is the greatest goodbye ever

mantle was nothing like vizier mantle was an idiot vizier was a far better man
The bit where Pyrus reaches out his hand to his always gets me. This is as good a scene as you'll see in anything from anywhere. It was the planet-scale equivalent of the Vizier striking the Eater of Worlds in last defiance before being consumed.
I agree
The vizir said
"Our glorius world is doomed
but perhaps it may not need to perish in vein"
This character easily stands out as one of the best I ever saw in my childhood.
I only hope that when our species faces the end of our world, we meet it with the same courage as him.
i love the realtionship between Pryrus and the Vizier. It is so touching. I just love it.
Mainfraime Entertainment knew how to make characters the epitome of badass. And when the time came for it; they knew how to make you absolutely weep watching those same characters meet their end proud, defiant, and honorable til their dying breath. Pyrus put it best: They died as they lived; Gloriously!
YES!!!!!!!
Guy went out like a boss
Seriously, Shadow Raiders: War Planets has outstanding drama and great acting from the VA! I love Jim Byrnes as the Vizier ^_^
I cried the first time I saw this back in the day. AMAZINGLY done...
Reboot got a reboot.
We may one day see a third season for this too.
we can only hope
Hi. I'm from the future. How are you enjoying Reboot's reboot?
@@Thalanox I really hate New reboot
@@lordtesla9538 It looks about as bad compared to the original material as the Disney Star Wars stuff does compared to Lucas' work.
@@Thalanox I REGRET EVERYTHING I'VE EVER SAID.
i cried when this happened prince piras was my favorite character of this show.
What makes it all the better is the Vizier is voiced by the guy who played Inferno in Beast Wars...one wonders if he got picked again for this as gag...since he kinda looks insect-like too.
"FOR THE ROYALTY!!!"
And fire themed
@@diavora That too. Dude got the best kind of type casting.

An irony that such a moment of bravery was caused by the fear of facing a future of change.
THE FEELS STILL LIVE ON Q_Q
“FOR THE ROYALTYYYYYYYY”
The Show really deserve a Final Season because they just put the Beast out of way but others planets sufer because they put ther Beast in other star system
"For my planet's sake, I spit my last breath at thee!" - That line is simply wonderful.
the music played here with the adaptation of the moby dick quote makes this one of my all time favourite sci fi series
I wish a soundtrack was available.

Bad toys sell that was the reasson like much other shows
Long live planet Fire! may the fires never burn out!
i'm a total dork.... this made me cry

out of all the planets planet fire was the one i didn't want gone

eeeeeeeh is a quote of shakespeare, from julius cesar.
this moment is Shadow raiders is awesome, this series have should be a awesome final
we should start a kickstarter!

@kilmorecombine right up there with Dinobot's death
epic scene
i think for planet beast it was just like eating a jalapeño hahaha
the 80's had the death of optimus prime
the 90's had the destruction of planet fire
cartoons are nuts, but these plot twists are something else entirely.
Never get stuff like this on tv anymore
EPIC !!!!
Is there any web site where I can find these show's soundtrack????
I really love it ... and it is impossible to find it!
Is there any chance to find the background music?
try shadow raiders theme flute

FOR MY PLANETS SAKE....I SPIT MY LAST BREATH AT THE!!!!
I'm gunna go ahead and call the star trek/Melville reference
Really want to see how in the hell they gonna stop the BEAST?
All we can do is hypothesise damn it!
how is it a last stand thats running into a room full of people with all kinds of weapons that want to kill u unarmed. what would u hope to acomplish by doing that lol
NOOOOOO!
If you fans out there learned BASIC programming, I bet you could collaborate together to program a 3D War Planets game (maybe RTS?) using Blitz3D.
honestly i just never understood his death.
i do agree his death was epic and stuff i mean it managed to touch me but like i said what was the point of doing this.
Hopefully one day Mainframe (Rainmaker) will make the right choice and come back & finish the series instead of releasing pointless Barbie movies.
Shows like Shadow Raiders are somethings we never see very much of.
I wish he could have lived he did not have to sacrifice himself why did he not get out after sending it at the beast
Ramming Planet Fire into it actually did seem to affect the Beast Planet; part of the claw was destroyed, and the entire thing was knocked off-balance despite technically succeeding in eating the planet.
@@HyperKadaj they claw was repaired in the end it did not stop it
@@zeokingsilver I know. I'm just saying it did have some measure of effect on it. No long term damage, mind you, but an effect nonetheless.
@@HyperKadaj still it feels like it was all for nothing would be great if it did major damage
See, this is one of the downsides of the politically correct world we live in. Kids can't get to see these kind of epic deaths on tv anymore.
Caley hhhhhhhhuu
The ending sucks ?
The Show had no real ending
idk it just seems idk his death just seemed a bit silly to me but and pointless but wtv i guess.
YTV really ruined the moment with their mascot lol.
