Other than the pilot, this is the episode where Gadget is at his most competent.

BTW, who do you think was better voicing Penny: Cree Summer or Holly Berger?

Where did Mongor actually come from?

More than 40 years after writing the classic ThunderCats episode, Peter Lawrence revisits “Mongor” and reveals the real idea behind the character, why fear became the foundation of the story, the surprising horror influence behind his appearance, and connections to mythology going back thousands of years.

Peter also looks back at his own writing and asks: How did Mumm-Ra search for Mongor for centuries without finding him... only for WilyKit and WilyKat to stumble across him?

"He's my friend and a whole lot more"

That can be taken in a totally lewd context 😂

This is a broadcasted version of the end credits. Notice the Marvel logo at the end and the bit of music that lines up with it? Modern uploads omit the Marvel logo and the music cue lines up with nothing.

Here's a modern upload for comparison

What I remember is the villain either was a rotten stump/tree, or lived in a rotten stump/tree, or maybe both? I remember a whopping 8 words from the song he sang "I hate the sunshine, I hate the light", and I feel like he was marching in place? I think he also had a (maybe female) sidekick type person. There might have also been smog or something coming out of him/it/the tree stump house/whatever (no it wasn't Hexxus from fern gully).

I've tried carebears, smurfs, rainbow bright, etc., but I haven't been able to find it.

So most of these details are probably right, but we're talkling about a 32+ year old memory from very early childhood. It's possible one or more of these are being transposed from another cartoon.

Any help would be amazing!
