In a time ruled by Smurfs and Care Bears, and mushy cartoons like G.I. Joe (which was nothing like the (awesome!) comic), Transformers (1984-1987) was way serious (relatively speaking) and ahead of its time IMO.

I remember Voltron briefly threatened its supremacy... but Voltron was ultimately pretty stupid (more like Power Rangers than anything else).

I highly recommend it... but you must look at it in the context of the time. Still, a lot of the metaphorical issues in it are still relevant today... perhaps moreso (enironmental destruction, energy crisis, etc).

There's no way.

Dio Rules though!

 

[y2jversion1]

Yes they do have captions.

 

[Master Blaster]

Uhh...YES THEY FRIGGIN' DID!

Smurfs might not have been the be all/end all of animated programming, but for what it's worth it was pretty entertaining and witty. Especially the fits Gargamel had every episode. Hearing his over the top rants about how his plans had been foiled was some of Don Messick’s (The guy who did his voice.) finest acting.

Care Bears was great in that the whole thing was so sweet and innocent. The Care Bears were so kind and lovable. They were cherub-like little beings who just wanted to teach everyone in the world how to love one another just because it was right. They didn’t go on some great crusade to vanquish all the forces of evil. Violent battles are awesome, but ya need a break from the epic struggle between good and evil once and a while. Sure the Care Bears dealt with villains such as Professor Coldheart and Aunty Freeze, but they dealt with them in the ideal way that adversity should be dealt with, peacefully with forgiveness and love. They hold a special place in heart for that.

GI Joe rocked! It was patriotic. It made you proud to be an American. It taught lessons about self-sacrifice, honor, loyalty, team work and courage (Even the bad guys on the show displayed those virtues, albeit in a more underhanded way.) Plus it had action, adventure and Chris Latta as Cobra Commander! "I was once a man! A MAAAAAANNNN!"

And Voltron totally beat Power Rangers to the punch. It had this quirky Flash Gordon quality to it that just got under your skin. "Teen soldiers in space who pilot giant robot lions who combine to form a bigger bad ass giant robot with a sword!" What’s not to love about that? Plus it was a whole lot deeper and darker than any of the awful shows that came out of Saban’s studios (Or should I say old 70s sentai footage that they stole and edited, taking out all the good and meaningful parts out and putting lame American actors performing stupid skits in their place.) Sure, the American distributors might have done their fare share of editing on Voltron, but not as much as Saban did to the original Japanese sentai shows that they made into Power Rangers. At least Voltron kept the heart and soul of the original anime it was. That’s why Voltron was such a success and Power Rangers was such a failure.



Oh and that's right! Dio does rule! \m/

I vaguely remember Jem. What exactly did she do? I know she was somekind of rockstar, but didn't she do something else? Was she also a superhero of some kind? Did she fight villains?

Smurfs was actually very well written.
But G.I. Joe sucked compared to the comic.
At least Transformers the series had some semblence to the comic.
And Voltron was a fad.

Transformers influence?
Well, when was the last time you saw someone make a graffiti mural of Care Bears?

(pic taken yesterday in NYC... on some random abandoned building... stumbled upon by happenstance believe it or not)

Nope they weren't CC or in subtitles, my sis bought 1 to 4 and none of them were in CC

oh yes moving, this isn't a spoiler

 

[Master Blaster]

Yes, the show wasn't as deep as the comic, but it was just as entertaining and had just as much heart as the comic. And calling Voltron a fad is like calling every other cartoon that came from the 80s a fad.

Power Rangers was the fad, not Voltron. Voltron’s characters had more soul than any of the characters from Power Rangers. The Voltron force were just kids who were caught in the middle of an intergalactic war that had many casualties. They had to endure the painful trials and tribulations of combat. All the Power Rangers did was fight paper monsters sent by ridiculously stupid villains who had no motive for wanting to take over/destroy the earth.

And of course you don’t see a Care Bears graffiti mural. Care Bears are not like Transformers. Care Bears are like Hobbits, Transformers are like Rangers.

Now, I'm no great defender of Power Rangers, but I would not call it a fad. The shear fact that the show is STILL going should be proof-enough of that. Factor-in the fact that Power Rangers is just the Westernizing of Japanese Sentai shows, which are like a freakin religion over there (exaggerating!+++), and Power Rangers, despite quality and personal opinions, is anything BUT a fad.

As far as Voltron goes, I wouldn't call it a fad, either. It spawned 2 sequel shows (and I think a 3rd one that never made it to America, though I'm not positive), and there was that comic from last year.

Voltron may have been another installment in a long line of piloted robot animes, which are a dime a dozen, but it does deserve credit for being one of the earliest installments in the genre to be imported to America and imbed "anime" in the minds of children everywhere.

I'm going off on a tangent here.

 

[Master Blaster]

The only reason that Power Rangers is still going on after all this time, is because your dorky little spaz of a brother seems to be just as addicted to it as he is to Pokemon.
