| donathos said: All right, well, hang on. You saying that if Snarf-Ra had shown up in Eternia, he couldn't have dealt with Skeletor, too? Snarf-Ra had stumbled into some awesome power (possibly diminishing Mumm-Ra's in the process; who knows how thin the Ancient Spirits of Evil can be spread?) and had the advantage of surprise. Could happen to any villain. |
That's exactly what I'm saying, because Mumm Ra is a joke. Snarf didn't *stumble* into some awesome power nor did he have the element of surprise.
He was literally chained next to the ASOE with a chain that was, quite foreseeably, easily broken. Also turning into Snarf Ra didn't drain Mumm Ra as Mumm Ra would have known his power was siphoned. Its not as if Mumm Ra's hideout was the next town over it was some significant distance. Even if it was close, Mumm Ra would have noticed the power slip while fighting Lion-O, who he had the element of surprise over in the first place. Who ties up their enemy next to their literal well of power with so much time and planning on your side, and leaves them there unattended? Who? I can't get over that.
Aside from that, its not even the only embarrassing loss he had (though I'd argue its the most embarrassing).
This dude bodied him with relative ease, Mumm Ra points to Lion-O as a better challenge to get this dude off his back, and the literal man-child Lion-O beats this guy so bad he leaves the planet and never returns to the series.
I'm not saying that Skeletor would sandbag Snarf Ra, but he would totally sandbag Snarf Ra. Skeletor unlike Mumm Ra knows how to use his power and knows how to use the powers of his enemies against them. He-Man is significantly more powerful than anyone in Thundercats and there are times Skeletor is too much trouble in a one on one situation. Skeletor actually spends times planning and has the skill to adapt to most situations. Mumm Ra, however only has a vast power that he continuously uses poorly, which is why a Snarf Ra created for the first time without his vast knowledge was able to beat him.
