    The 80s were filled with many team based cartoons like the Thundercats & Silverhawks, that usually had interesting blended concepts (birds/cyborgs, cats/humans) It was the norm back then. They might have been funded for the purpose of making a profit selling toys but that didn't take away from how inventive they were for the time. I'm glad whatever corporate cynicism that went into their making never resonated in the minds of kids watching them then. It was just a great time to be a kid.

  • @Jurgan6
    @Jurgan6 5 лет назад +10

    These days, when a show is relatively popular, you can release entire seasons on DVD. In the days of VHS, that wasn't economically feasible (bulky cartridges could only hold a couple hours and the raw material was pretty expensive), so shows would often sell tapes that only had one or two episodes. So my parents bought me a tape with a single episode of Silverhawks and I probably watched it a dozen times. It involved the Mob stealing a "disintegrator ray" that could destroy anything but gold, so they built a gold... I guess I'd call it a space jet ski, and Commander Stargazer flew it since he was made of gold and thus immune, while the others were made of silver. Then he flew it into space and fought the Mob until the disintegrator backfired and blew up their own ship. Also there was comic relief from a cabbie who was maybe a New York stereotype and kept saying "y'know what I mean?" And the ending clip was a quiz about meteors.
    Even at the time I could tell this was basically Thundercats in space (though I didn't know it was the same company), especially from Mon*Star's transformation sequence. Still, I liked it well enough, and I probably would have watched more but I don't think it aired in my location. Or maybe the show had already gone off the air by the time they were selling tapes.

    As far as the 90s series were concerned, this and the other 80s series were very corny in hindsight. I guess that I was so captivated by the show, because I saw it in syndication in the afternoon when no other toons were on, the theme song(which was catchy even though I didn't know the words), and--you must admit--the way they put their masks on were super smooth! I think they do need a reboot. This time what they should do is show meaningful feats of power, strength, and speed*, because--when you don't know what a character is capable of--it kind of makes your not-so-well-known character seem not comparable to known characters. If you classify what they can do, then you know whether they are on Batman's, Spider-man's, or Thing's level. They might also want to introduce a new character in a reboot--in addition to the newer recruits when the show went off the air and they might want to add another villain, too. THE CREATION STORIES COULD CHANGE, TOO, BECAUSE MONSTAR'S WAS SORELY LACKING!
    *For instance, can Quicksilver(Quick) fly as fast as or faster than Transonic, 90s Flash, or Quicksilver(Pietro) with more strength than they had due to having metal attacks?! Maybe Copper Kidd could be the 2nd fastest with more alien strength than he looked like he had. How strong/durable would Steelwill, Steelheart, and Flashback be?! Lifting a car, tank, or what?! Would they be able to take cars thrown at them, block bullets, block any normal weapon, or what? Another thing they can do with the twins is combine their strength(having a complete link to one another)! Would Bluegrass' weapon be as powerful as Music Master, Banshee, Black Canary, or Black Bolt? What about how powerful their weapon blasts were--as not all firing weapons are nearly the same? Then, they should specify how powerful Monstar was! They could even revamp the power levels of their characters. Plus, the birds were M-I-A and, so, they need to bring them out--as it would give then a distraction or a helping hand(as breaking restraints--if captured). TOO MANY QUESTIONS/ERRORS AND THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT MAKE OR BREAK A COMIC FRANCHISE!
