This is one of the FEW times the sword is actually used AS A SWORD. The fact that actually have a SWORD-FIGHT (as opposed to blasting each other with light-beams) make it even rarer...
I remember watching this episode after school I use to run home to watch Thundercats, but this was the first time I seen the Sword Of Omens get beat I was shocked!.
Panthro was basically like a big favourite uncle. He'd allow you the freedom to make your own judgements and when things don't work out, he'll call you a d!ck but say you know better now for the future.
@@PsychomachineryEBM Well he was still immature at this point. Remember physically he's and adult but he lost like 10 years or so due to the malfunction with his pod causing him to still age. This was actually an episode that aired during the anointment trials and thus was either set before or shortly after he became the True Lord.
This was and still is one of my all time favorite episodes of thundercats. I loved King Arthur and the Knights of the round table as well as the story of Excalibur when I was growing up. When I first saw this episode it was like crazy exciting because here I had excalibur and thundercats with the sword of omens. I was actually cheering for excalibur in that swordfight. ☺☺😜😜
@Smokey 420 Arthur was not killed by Lancelot. He was mortally wounded in battle with Mordred, then had Bedevere cast Excalibur back into the lake it came from, and was taken to the Isle of Avalon by Morgause and her sisters, there to sleep until he is again needed. Or so the legend goes.
For some reason this was my favorite episode. Probably because this was as close as Mummra ever got to kicking lion-Os ass. Sorry sometimes I just need to see the bad guy wins because you know he has enough power to do it....
Definitely a top ten episode this one. Awesome seeing ‘Arthur’ come in and school ‘Lord’ Lion-o and there are some moments of sheer brilliance. The glove slap, stepping on lion-o’s shoulder as he gets off his horse...back-handing Snarf in the face (we all wanted to do that) and best of all, the gorgeous freeze frame animation you see at 0.51 and during the jousting. We were so lucky to have this show when we were kids
@@Jason5818UI it that were true then the Sword of Omens would have won the fight. We saw them fighting at their best and Excalibur won. Therefore it proved it was more powerful
@@jduttskywalker nah by example superman is arguably the most powerful hero and he has kryptonite as a weakness and so he can be physically superior to his opponent but if they get kryptonite no matter how weak or stronger they are they can kill superman
There was one that was (arguably) even greater: *Durandal,* the holy sword of the original and greatest Paladin, Roland. (In terms of power comparison in fantasy, in Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Excalibur was anywhere from +3 to +5 while Durandal was the only +7 sword in the game!)
Man that bring back a lot of memories from my childhood back in 1985 Lionel sword of omens versus Excalibur sword back in ancient times where there's no technology exist is like two ninjas going at it only one Ninja can whoop the other ninjas butt that sound funny hope all the ThunderCats I love I got a crush on cheetara she is one pretty cheetah she run like lightning but she ever getting a foot race of Superman she'll lose that battle the Superman can fly around the world in 30 seconds he can out muscle anybody and he can walk around the world in less than 10 seconds he can bench press 2 million tons with ease well that's how strong Superman is and he got a great sense of kindness and a great sense of humor I knew that voice sound familiar that's the voice of Mama that evil mummy
Earth's most powerful magic sword vs Thundera's most powerful magic sword. Naturally Excalibur won because it had the home turf advantage. Excalibur saw The Sword Of Omens as an alien invader without knowing it was on the side of righteousness.
I swear Thundercats may have been the most pro-masculine cartoon on television in the 1980s, outside of maybe GI Joe. I swear to God, half of Lion-O's battles/contest were more about honor than good vs. evil.
The fact that you consider honor a masculine trait, rather than it being a HUMAN one says a something about your way of thinking... IMO, many women seem deficient in character... Ask a woman is she would ever apologize for being wrong, see what she says....LOL
Good question... My opinion is that since they were just fighting it was allowed to battle. But, once it landed in the dirt and Mumm-Ra was going for the kill, then it froze and that's why he couldn't pull it out of the ground. And then Merlin stepped in.
*Lol here exists an incoherence, its supposed than Sword of omens don't attack good causes or things, so why here he attacked Excalibur? Who supposed than all time defend the good causes? **#EpicFail*
If Mumm-Ra had not shout his mouth off by revealing himself to the Thundercats and out loud Merlin wouldn't have appeared and restored the Eye Of Thundera to life and Mumm-Ra would have gotten the last laugh
I recall seeing this and figured that the swords would merge as one at the end - combining the power. Two things I want to point out. 1 Since it was returned to the Lady of the Lake, I guess that means the real King Arthur has yet to return ( He won't live long upon arising again, one look at what is world has become, he'll die of heart failure immediately🏰🏚️😵💔⚰️). 2. Since, the Lake was so close, that means that the Thundercats most likely live in or near, what was once Britain.
Weirdly, if that's true then it's surprising that an ancient Egyptian pyramid is right there. I'm not a geography nerd but I thought Egypt was pretty far from the UK.
i know this is old comment but im going to reply any ways short answer NO, after he was mummified mumra was banished from our earth to 2nd earth and 3rd earth is 2nd earths future. as for talking to the lady of the lake in some myths its said you can speak with the lady from any lake or it was a simple over site on the writing staffs part and they didnt know.
Lion - o should have known when he saw that sword, that he had no change. The shear power of that beam would have force me to surrender the fight. Even as the sword of Omens beams was active, shear power of the Excaliber sworn was forcing him back. This was one of the best episodes that I ever seen.
I’m sure there’s a part of the Arthurian Legend which says that Excalibur cannon be used for evil, much the same as “The Mystic Sword of Omens?” In fact that is when Arthur breaks Excalibur , when he uses it to fight Lancelot?
My theory is that Excalibur was deceived. Because Mumm-Ra shape-shifted into King Arthur. In fact, right after Mumm-Ra returned to his original appearance, and Excalibur turned against him.
There is an earlier episode where Mumm-ra makes a comment that he existed back in a time before the planet was called third earth, when it was known as first earth. So that was a hint right there. It's never explicitly stated in the show, but some have theorized Mumm-ra was an evil human priest from ancient egypt who worshipped the ancient evil egyptian gods(set, anubis, etc.)and then thousands of years passed while mumm-ra slept as a mummy in his sarcophagus, and at some point ww3 happened and destroyed most human life and civilization and technology. The few humans who survived went back to the stone age for the most part(except for a few pockets of humans such as Dr. dometone who either retained technology or regained it after ww3)and the planet earth was much different when the Thundercats arrived at the time the earth was known as third earth(the third era of some kind, which makes you wonder what second earth was like).
You know these swords have a bone to pick with each other when they literally fly out of their wielders' hands and *duel mid-air.*
I wonder what happened 🤔 why would the Sword of omens Fight Excalibur 🤔 like that!
I have never watched thus one
Especially when Thunder Cutter and the Sword of Omens flat out refused to fight each other.
Wat Episode is this I know it’s the first season but Episode number

É? Eu fazia tudo igual a você e tive a mesma sensação. A derrota da Espada de Omens foi chocante.
It’s Excalibur baby
Excalibur baby
Same here.
Same with me. I did it in Abu Dhabi after school and saw this episode for the first time then.
He just slapped him with those dirty gloves like no business
Lmfao
Exactly
Bruh he slapped him then slapped again to let him know the hate was real #80'shaters
Mumm-ra probably took pleasure in those slaps lol
Mumm-Ra can disguise his physical form but he can't disguise his Mumm-Raness.
Mum-ra was the best cartoon villain EVER!
Over Lord of Blackstar
And Skeletor.
@@XTRABIG I agree, Skeletor is right there with him.
@HadesObsidian , no..... It was uploaded eight years ago. Thundercats was an 80s hero cartoon.
...no match for Mighty Mumm-Ra!!!

Best evil laugh in the history of bad guy's
For some reason this was my favorite episode. Probably because this was as close as Mummra ever got to kicking lion-Os ass. Sorry sometimes I just need to see the bad guy wins because you know he has enough power to do it....
I think this episode was the best time Mummrah ever had in his whole life and afterlife 🤣

And to think - all this time; all Mumm-Ra had to do was poke it in the eye to defeat the Thundercats.
It's the Achilles' Vagina of the Thundercats.
Slick move by Excalibur, feigning being court off guard, making the SoO press the fake advantage leaving itself completely exposed.
The voice acting is off the Hook.
THEIR BASE IS A GIANT PANTHER FORTRESS! TAKE THAT! WAKANDA!
damn this was so epic when i was a kid.
Yes I remember. What was the original air date? This episode rocks.
MumRa's laugh is epic in cartoons
I love Krusty's to 😁
They don't make evil laugh like they used to, he goes all out
A legend of Evil laughter truly. You should listen to Mumm-ra 's voice and laughter in Español latino. IT is even Darker and stronger
@@edsaloru1 whoaaa I'll check 4 it. Thanks
Mumm-ra's laugh cracks me up lol
1980`s cartoons were magical. That could be nostalgia talking however.
No that’s facts you’re writing there! 💪🏻
To be fair, Cartoons back then were certainly a lot more imaginative. Compare that to the remake obsessed time period we live in now.
u going me many years back. i remember this scene fight and this episode was one of the best of thundercats.old good days!!!
They DO NOT make cartoons like this anymore.
That was a defeat for Thundercats as far as i can see. If Merlin didn't pull their asses out of the fire that would have been the end of it.
Yes. Home field advantage. If the battle had taken place on Thundera, the Sword of Omens would have prevailed.
XTRABIG I doubt it was said Excalibur was the most powerful sword to exist and the ancient spirits confirmed it
@@michaelchi1336 you are correct. Sword of Omens only has a slim fighting chance
@@XTRABIG 3:26 Excalibur ! Fantastic symbolism, sword of omens down... Excalibur standing tall. Saw this in 1985 and had to revisit !

This show had like 5 voice actors. There were a ton of characters that sounded like Mumm-Ra, lol

The drawing pause at 0:54 is off the chain! I love this episode!
LMAO @ 3:26......... now thats a laugh you just cant ever forget
The Sword of Omens was no match for the Excaliber
the sword of omens was powerful enough to repel Excalibur which is why it attacked the eye of thundera
@@Jason5818UI yes but that was it's fatal weakness and Excalibur saw that. It went right for the swords life force and extinguished it.
@@jduttskywalker yeah but at their best the sword of omens was the more powerful weapon

England vs Thundercat
1 - 0

Was that England or MumRa(Egyptian)?
as a child I felt so sad when the sword of omens lost to excalibur
I thought it was awesome that it lost. So it should. Proper humility by the Thun-darr Cats creator before a true legendary mythos.
@@jetuber indeed , it's Excalibur.
Excalibur and Balmung were pretty powerful.
I felt sad also...but I probably would have felt sad if Excalibur lost too.
How could u guys feel Sad??? They're aliens. Their sword lost to ours!
I didn't, Excalibur is LeGen Darry!!
Back in olden times a challenge to a duel to the death was issued by slapping the other in the face with a pair of gloves, that's why he did that lol
Highway to the dangerzone!
Man those swords were like mad dogs, just itching to see which was the top dog.
This is ThunderCats...not the upcoming reboot for 2019!
2020 maybe
This will always be Thundercats!!
Excalibur is the greatest sword that ever existed
But... Why being evil in this show?
The sword but the fighter was a asshole 😡
Except it didn't exist
There was one that was (arguably) even greater: *Durandal,* the holy sword of the original and greatest Paladin, Roland.

@@gochem3013 Mumm-ra disguised himself to prevent the sword from realizing he was evil elsewise the sword would have saw him as unworthy to begin with
I knew watching this episode that there was no way Excalibur would lose.

now that was a real "sword fight" lol

But it was an epic fight
excalibur remains victorious

No sir, I thank you now!!

The alien 👽 sword couldn’t beat the earth sword ⚔️ and it’s divine powers 😶
Mum-ra has the most horrible, fear inducing voice acting i have heard almost ever. Wow
Excalibur uses an extremely similar design to He-Man's sword from the live action movie.
Excaliber win !!!!
After he said this the sword no longer worked with him and then Merlin restored the sword of omens.
where is wilycat and wilykit
If Excalibur is good, how did Mumm Ra wield it?
Good question... My opinion is that since they were just fighting it was allowed to battle. But, once it landed in the dirt and Mumm-Ra was going for the kill, then it froze and that's why he couldn't pull it out of the ground. And then Merlin stepped in.
Because he was disguised as King Arthur. Only at 3:51 when Mumm-Ra revealed his true identity is when Excalibur turned on him.
Probably Excalibur mistook Mumra for King Arthur. Technically Excalibur was deceived to be used for evil not for good. This is just my theory.
*Lol here exists an incoherence, its supposed than Sword of omens don't attack good causes or things, so why here he attacked Excalibur? Who supposed than all time defend the good causes? **#EpicFail*
