THUNDARR: DEAD FROM THE NECK DOWN!


I can't under stand how Thundarr could be constantly with the beautiful and voluptuous Princess Ariel and yet feel no sexual attraction at all. Either he's impotent (doubtful), or he has a "thing" going with Ookla!

reply

No no no.
Thundarr sees Ariel as the little sister he never had.

Also, Ariel and Ookla have a thing going, and Thundarr respects that.

At least, that's how I see it.

Today on Boomerang, the episode played was "Portal Into Time". It begins with our heroic trio standing around the camp fire where they have set up camp for the night.

There are two tents set up. Two, not three. Either Thundarr and Ariel are sharing a tent, or Thundarr and Ookla are sharing a tent, or Ookla and Ariel are sharing a tent. Which is it?

Ariel states that she will be able to get a good night's sleep "...if Ookla doesn't snore."

And now we know.

Ookla must be packing

He's hung like a Mok

Thundarr also never expressed any interest in any of the women he rescued along the way, most notably the blue-skinned Amazons with whom he, Ookla, and Ariel spent a great deal of time. All muscles and no gonads apparently.

reply

I imagine Ariel and Thundarr sleep in the tents and Ookla, given his size and wild nature, sleeps under the stars.

reply

easy enough to explain. the only thing thundarr hated more than women was wizards.. he got a twofer for ariel.

This topic is hilarious. I just saw an episode where Thundarr said about an evil woman "She is as evil as she is beautiful", Then Ariel asked him "just like me, but im just beautiful, right Thundarr"? Thundarr says nothing and rides away.... The scene was hilarious but tells something about him. I know Ookla has complemented Ariel several times so he definitely has something for her and Thundarr is either shy with his feeling towards her or just isn't interested in her which would reply to this topic as yes cuz she's hot.

It must also be remembered that--like everything from the Hanna-Barbera swill mill--this show was meant for the so-called "family trade".
Which means, no sexual expression at all!
That explains why Freddie never scored with Daphne, nor Alan with Josie.

This topic is too funny.

Most cartoon heroes of the era were rather repressed. My guess is Thundarr's b*lls are bluer than a Smurf.

’Cause there’s thunder in your heart... Every move is like lightning!

reply

Yeah, I think that scene accurately captures their dynamic: Ariel is attracted to Thundarr but he has other, bigger things on his his mind (e.g., freeing the subjugated). If Thundarr feels attraction to Ariel, he suppresses it.

reply

I figure one of three things was going on:

1) Thundarr didn't want to sleep with his co-workers. (Sensible move that)
2) Thundarr was a eunuch thanks to his time a wizard's slave. (Which would explain why he hated them so)
3) Thundarr is gay. (Nothing wrong with that, and it explains why he seemed to like Ookla more than Ariel.)

reply

I think Thundarr was on the juice. His muscles bulged and everything else shrank.

reply

No,your all wrong. Thundarr like Conan was a slave , a gladiator and prime breeding stock too sow his seed for a new generation of slaves. After impregnating thousands of women ,he was tired.This fact and the dangers of his new crusade to liberate and protect the humans,he feels a relationship with Princess Ariel to be too risky.Princess Ariel on the other hand has a magic chastity belt her stepfather Sabian put on her to protect her virginity until she was old enough to sacrifice to the Demon Dogs of the Lords of Light. Unbeknownst to her and Thundarr, the Sunsword is the key.

reply

And Ookla will discover this solution to his and Ariel's... problems.

Yes, I rather like that. They had the key all along, but didn't know it.

'Either he's impotent (doubtful), or he has a "thing" going with Ookla!"

They clearly refer to his sun sword as "fabulous" in the opening narration, glean from that what you will....

This thread reminds me of an episode of DYNO-MUTT, where the Blue Falcon was surrounded by beautiful women, and yet ended up in bed with the "Dog Wonder"!
LMAO at the censorship rules of that day!!

BTW, I used to be NSurone.

reply

Actually, I'm fine with Thundarr being gay, as long as we keep the Arial/Ookla relationship.

Thundarr likes Ariel but she is still a witch. Simple as that. Thundarr was interested in that pirate queen, he's states that; and knows better to act on that.
