Panthro

So he had that.

He had Panthro from the Thundercats set.

So he was able to heal.

Him and Swamp Thing always stayed together.

He had Swamp Thing in the corner.

I about had him dead, but it just really wasn't worth it.

I felt like Panthro, I was always going to hit him to a stop click.

I couldn't get my whole team across.

I mean, one of them is actually really absolutely disgusting, which I'll tell you.

I mean, the character Panthro originally was black, was sketch black, and they turned it blue before I showed up.

And nobody's ever said why.

I mean, you can guess why, but nobody's ever said why.

Earl Hyman.

Earl Hyman.

At some point I had a story where Panthro is seduced by Saurons.

It's like a Greek myth.

But I don't know how many of you guys ever saw that.

It had unforgettable characters, incredible weapons, larger-than-life villains and one of the greatest opening themes in television history.

Whether you wanted the Sword of Omens, thought Panthro was the coolest character ever, or spent years trying to decide whether Lion-O was actually old enough to be in charge, Thundercats left a lasting impression on a whole generation.

So, grab your Sword of Omens, give a sight beyond sight, and let's head back to Third Eye.

This is going to be good.

Always in the playground.

Always in the playground.

I always wanted to be Panthro.

Didn't you? Yeah.
