Since the Nick Turtles cartoon has decided to spoof one of my all time favorite 1980's cartoon, and a show that was so bad ass, that a lot of rip offs happen later(He-man, cough He-man) and after fan protest, WB release it on DVD order website, so yeah I pick it up 4 years ago.

What can I say about this this show? In 1994 a tragic event happen I think it was the 49ers winning the SB.

That 30000 years later The world was over run by evil Wizard overlords, enslaving man kin, and dooming us pretty much to hell on Earth. Thinks Steve Young.

It had Conan, Star Wars, and other stuff all road in one. The 3 heroes were amazing in there own right, you had Thundarr the warrior, He may not of been book smart, but he knew how to lived in this harsh world, like when the monster was not magic of origin, in one show, it was Thundarr that pointed it out, the beast needed to eat, and there was a village not far from there. Some tasty human snacks.

Princess Ariel, who lived under the sea, oh wrong Ariel, She was a Asian Woman that knew magic spells like Bubbles or Forced Fields. Or what other stuff that needed to help the team. When Thundarr needed to rush into a mess, Ariel's magic was there to back him up. She was also fighting evil in a bikini lol. What is it with Superheroes? Do they have a day at the beach one day and decided hey why cant I fight crime in my swim suits?

And than there is Ookla the mok. What they are I don't know, All I know is they hate water, and they grunt a lot. Oh and he loves to hug Ariel, He is pretty strong, throwing cars around like there rag dolls are something. If a Wall or something was in the way, Ookla can knock it down with a punch.

One that that parts this show from others, is there was no central villain, in fact, Only Gemini the 2 face wizard was the only guy to return for round 2.
I mean Ninja Turtles, Shredder, He-man, Selektor, Gadget, Dr Claw, Not Thundarr, every week he was facing a new villain.

So I am going to make my top ten Wizards list.

The number 1 Wizard in the show is Gemini, he return, but what I like about him, depending on his mood, his face will change, He has his angry face, and his clam face, but still just as evil. He had plenty of power to turn the Statue of Liberty into a forced, trying to step on poor Thundarr. In the end, he return for other go around, only to turn into stone. As a kid, I was thinking that was a horrible way to die.

2 Mindok The Mind Menace, he is a brain in a robot body, and a powerful wizard in his own right. He free some people to build him a new robot body, but as it turn out, the old Robot body was more of a threat, He could not be killed, so Thundarr though the best way to deal with Mindok was to launch him into space, were he be trap for ever, or until he comes crashing down again lol.
He was pretty scary, the thing I recall most was his voice, If your going to be evil, you need to sound like Mindok.

3 Argoth of a Thousand Eyes, now this guy was amazing, He sees all lol. He had a fortress, and like a whole village of slave. He was even going to use Ariel as a bride, when he capture the team. Being the power mad villain he was, he was not going to let a jungle that drains magic powers stop him. Well it did, and he was destroy in the process. I just recall him looking cool, and his massive fortress.

4 Skullus, Was just a head in a jar, lol. But he had the power to control your mind, He had a entire Army working for him to attack other wizard Octagon over land rights or something lol. In the end, Thundarr destroy him, and Octagon escape. Knowing them Wizards, we knew Octagon took Skullus's land, when Thundarr left.

5 Vashtarr, he look cool in his armor and all, but it seem the only the fates or 3 women would be the causes of his down fall. Of course Thundarr and team collections said women, and they form there powers to depower Vashtarr and ending his rein. Over all he look cool, and was pretty strong.
