  • Imagine if there existed a planet on which you could fly super-powered cars and possibly
    gain superpowers yourself. Well, at least in the fictional world, there is such a planet.
    Skeleton Warriors is a 90s cartoon series that has sent chills down the spines of its
    audience. It shows the battles between the Legion of Light, the protectors, and the Skeleton
    Warriors, the evildoers. Despite being such a fantastic cartoon series, it did not last for a
    long time and left its fans sighing pretty soon after the release.
    They were all humans, but the day they acquired superpowers, the fight for control of the
    city began. They fly in their weaponized super-powered cars, which prove to be a great
    advantage during battles. But how did they go from being humans to superheroes and
    supervillains? Well, we will answer every mystery about the series in this video. So,
    without further delay, let us dive right into it and explore everything about the Skeleton
    Warriors.

      90's had some good cartoons . Good guy teams vs. the bad guy team. All characters had their own unique look and speciality. Also most every show had their own toy collection and videogame.

    I used to watch this show with WildCATs. It was on a horrible Afternoon time in Newfoundland.
    I remember a few points from the later episodes.
    Skeleton Warriors have magic crystals attached to their spines (opposite the sternum) that act as power sources. If the crystal is destroyed or removed, the person reverts to human. This was discovered when Talyn was struggling with a coward-turned-skeleton and she ended up pulling out the stone. It's possible Grimskull could be reverted to humanity with a little surgery.
    Baron Dark attempted to create a ray gun cannon to transform massive groups, but it was destroyed. In the process a werewolf-like bounty hunter Claw became the newest named/inner circle Skeleton Warrior.
    Baron Dark was responsible for the King's Death. He lured the King into a Trap with the help of Aracula.
    Big Spoiler for the last couple of episodes.
    Baron Dark eventually does get the Lightstar Crystal. The images in the video with Dark wearing vaguely Egyptian looking armor is his Powered Up form. The Legion of Light actually fails there mission to recover to the crystal as the only way to stop the Baron is dropping said crystal into lava (ala one ring).

    • @thenichollsworth
      @thenichollsworth 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah, and Baron got tossed right in after it. And it had to be a permadeath since he would be restored human inside lava.

  • @gigashock237wilde3

    I watched almost the whole series when I was younger! Grimskull was my favourite character in the show. Watching him grow and develop as a character was great to see.
    I will admit Arachula was one of my favourite villains. The others being Shriek, Cyborn, Ursak, Jennifer/Talyn and a beast-like Skeleton Warrior.
    I'm really hoping somebody brings back this show and gives it another chance.

    I didn't know there was an animated series until now. I only know that there were action figures, which I once saw in a department store, which no longer exists.
    But probably the series didn't run here because it was too morbid/violent.

One of the first PS1 games I ever got when I was a kid. It was a decent game from what I remember but it also had the soundtrack done by Tommy Tallarico which one of the tracks, Skybike #1 if I recall, was the theme song for the Electric Playground tv show back in the day. Man I miss that show.

    A shame this show only lasted for 13 episodes, it was way more interesting and character driven then I thought. I'm guessing it was because it was perceived as riding the coattails of all the other cartoons trying to cash-in on TMNT like Battle Toads and Biker Mice from Mars and the re-edited and adapted Samurai Pizza Cats.

    I remember seeing toys of this in the store when I was a kid. The style of animation is similar to the 90s X-Men, GI Joe, and Exo-Squad. In other words, it's the oldschool American style of animation, which is pretty much dead now. Now they either copy anime, or just do something that looks little kiddish. I wish this style could come back, but I don't think it will.

    • @srichael2713
      @srichael2713 22 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Two symptoms of PTSD: temper tantrum and moral guilt.
      These two create feelings of hate and anger.
      Assuming he wasn't skeletonized he would have lashed out in violence against his fellow rebels with all that pented-up negative emotions blowing over.
      It's really scary when you think about it, because if something like PTSD could generate enough evil/negative emotions *unintentionally* on the victim, Baron Dark could wear down his enemies.
      Good thing he doesn't know about it.
