Does anyone here remember the Mighty Max cartoon?

The opening:

Spoiler:


It aired around 1992-1994, I think. Pretty cool action sci-fi(with a bit of fantasy aswell) cartoon series, featuring a teenage boy named Max who's the chosen one and goes on adventures with a fowl and a warrior dude.

This show could be surprisingly edgy for a kids cartoon. It didn't have blood but it had deaths and a lot of times it was heavily implied that someone died/was about to die. I also liked how every time Max went through a portal he got the instructions from Virgil in a different way. That was funny. Max would be watching TV and suddenly "Mighty One, go to portal at the barbershop"

The main character, Might Max, was voiced by Rob Paulsen... he's like a human Fred Wolf Raphael in this show! It's as if the retromutagen had been used on him and he went on to live as a teenage boy. Also, one of Max's allies, Virgil the Fowl, is voiced by the great late Tony Jay, the same VA who voiced Dregg in the FW TMNT series.

The problem with this show was... the ending. It sucked. Wanna know why?

Spoiler:
Norman and Virgil die in the last episode but then Max is able to rest the time and sh*t starts all over again... yep. Total disappointment.


Supposedly this show had a pretty successful toyline, which is funny because I don't recall the show being a success. Then again I only watched it later on cable in the early 21st century. Maybe it has a cult following from the 90s?

I guess he doesn't qualify as African American to cubed because he doesn't say things like "yessa massa", "sup dawg", "yo", "kill whitey" and "shee-it negro!"
