If y’all haven’t seen Thundarr The Barbarian, I suggest you do.

Yes, we’re talking 4% chance… but still

An asteroid might be heading for the moon. Should we nuke it?

A paper from several NASA scientists and other researchers explores whether an asteroid with a 4% chance of hitting the moon in 2032 should be deflected or blown up.

On that note, #ThundarrTheBarbarian was vastly superior to #HeMan.

The cover of the "Thundarr the Barbarian" complete series collection released by Hanna-Barbera.

It features the heroic characters from the very early 80's series standing atop a cliff with fire raging behind them. From left to right:

Ookla the Moc, a leonine humanoid with fangs and yellow eyes, wearing only what looks like black speedos.

Thundarr the Barbarian, a muscular human man with short, blonde hair. He is wearing a sort of reddish-brown, fur onesie/bodysuit with a plunging neckline. It also leaves his arms and legs bare. He has a yellow belt with matching yellow bracers. His heavy boots match his bodysuit. He is wielding the Sunsword, an energy weapon that creates a crackling blade.

Princess Ariel the Sorceress is a brown woman with light skin and long black hair. She is wearing an open-backed and leg-baring cyan bodysuit with yellow trim at the waist. She has golden knee-high boots and matching wrist bracers and has her hands thrust down and to the right (of the image, to her left) and pink/magenta energy is emanating from them.

An image taken from the opening sequence of the 80s cartoon "Thundarr the Barbarian."

In it, we see the ruins of a modern city covered in fog. The way the ruins are illustrated evokes the imagery of ancient ruins in the real world. The moon can be seen prominently in the upper center. It has been cracked in half, left to right, and large chunks of the moon can be seen floating near it. A large ship is upended in the foreground, the prow pointed skyward and it's smokestacks clearly visible. Vines hang from it, indicating it has been in that position for quite some time.

Live action Ookla the Mok, Princess Ariel, and Thundarr from the 1983 NBC Saturday Morning preview framed as the Yummy Awards. The two seasons of the cartoon had already run on ABC '80-'81, but NBC re-ran them that year as part of their lineup.

From 2022: Thundarr the Barbarian print design

A drawing of Ariel, Ookla, and Thundarr having a picnic in the ruins of civilization. The poses are an homage to Édouard Manet's painting Luncheon on the Grass.
