Re-waching that show as an adult, the animation is terrible and doesn’t live up to my memories at all… But I’ve a new appreciation for the scenes with krang n shredder arguing like an old married couple. That shit is gold
Yeah, one of my childhood favorites was Thundercats. I tried watching once as an adult and the nostalgia died immediately. I’m ashamed of childhood me’s lack of standards.
Me and my wife loved the X-Men show in the 90s. We loaded it up (the original, not the new one) and got about 10 mins in before turning it off.
OG Xmen animated series is not like Thundercats in this regard. The first season is a bit rough, but it gets much better. It’s still a kids animated show, but it’s also very good.
I was only a teenager when I got an opportunity to get some Thundercats nostalgia… cartoon network or somebody was re-airing it. I was horrified. I’ve not tried again since.
Xmen on the other hand, I’ve rewatched twice in the past few years, and I’d do it again.
Except the final season. Wth happened there? Felt like they were told to finish up with a shoestring and MS Paint.
I just rewatched it last month and it was great; but yeah, season 5 was bad. They had their budget cut for that season so they switched animation studios. The change is painfully obvious.
I assumed that’s what it was, or something like it. Horrifying. And they use some of those bad aminations on banner etc. Like they’re proud of it. Lmao
Thundercats 2011 was the shit. Watch it if you get a chance.
The nineties were wild, man. You had to be there.
Edit: Technically the very end of the eighties. That episode first aired on October 27, 1989 but I watched the show in the nineties.
Casey Jones had a firm handshake. That’s all you needed back then. /s
God, I had such a crush on Casey Jones from the live action movie. Tbh, my dumb ass probably would’ve hired him like this, too.
I just came across comic book collections I-IV and learned the live action movie was a mishmash of plots lifted from the original comic series. So that was cool! Hope this is interesting to you too
It was the power tie.
Maybe if I wear this suit
no one will be able to tell I’m Casey Jones.
What makes this funnier, to me, is that animators and directors all had discussions about how this scene was going to be drawn. It’s not like some rogue illustrator slipped this one in - the studio itself committed to the gag. Plus, it’s very in-character for Casey Jones who is rarely seen without that mask, or unarmed.
This also has strong video-game energy, like “Dragonborn wearing a chef’s hat”, or “Solid Snake in a cardboard box.”
it’s been more than a quarter century since I’ve seen any of it (although the theme song is still in my head) … was there any point to Casey Jones? was he like a metaphor, or a stand-in for a real person or something? such a weird character to have a pretty normal name in a show with characters like the turtles, Splinter, Shredder and whatever the fuck that brain dude was…
Probably a reference to this
That’s the guy that was high on cocaine.
Krang!
depends on the position?
Casey Jones you better watch your speed
