| donathos said: On reflection, you make some good points, and they have caused me to reconsider this entire situation... Snarf was literally chained next to the ASOE with a chain that was, quite foreseeably, easily broken, just as you say... Who ties up their enemy next to their literal well of power and leaves them there unattended...? In fact, have you considered that Mumm-Ra knew exactly what he was doing -- and did this all intentionally? Think about it. Snarf had to call upon what -- the Ancient Spirits of Evil -- to effect his grand rescue. Precisely like Mumm-Ra knew he would. Using that kind of dark power, like reading the Necronomicon or summoning the Cenobites, does not come without consequence. I submit that what appears to you to be a tactical blunder was in actuality a strategic master stroke. Mumm-Ra is playing the long game, slowly corrupting the ThunderCats... from within. And as for this... There's no shame in taking this L. That was the Demolisher, dude. The Greatest Warrior in the Galaxy. If Lion-O was able to take Demolisher down in the end, it's because the battle with Mumm-Ra had already pushed him to the limit. |
I'm flabbergasted, but impressed by your optimism of the character.
No, I did not think that was a possibility because its not. Let me preface the fact that Mumm-Ra never is that smart by stating this:
After sending Mumm-Ra flying, Snarf immediately became disinterested in his newfound power and asked Lion-O to nullify it. He used the sword of omens to do so, which is well within the feats of the sword. This point is proven by the fact that the episodes following proved to have no issue for the character whatsoever. This proves that Mumm Ra did not have the foresight for such a plan and the ASOE were more than likely just tired of him.
Speaking of the ASOE, they were really tired of Mumm-Ra, who has proven time and again that he fails to follow through with any of his plans. Its so bad that they literally have to given him instructions and hold his hand step by step on how to do it.
As for Demolisher, no. He proceeded to lose to (and I emphasize this) a literal child aged into a man's body after basically defeating Mumm-Ra with little effort. This dude barely had any effort expended and by the time he came to face Lion-O he was well rested. I question if L-Ra even makes for a good minion.
