Sabertooth Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) Good evening, atari.io and welcome to another episode of Vs. Cartoon Intros. I am your self-appointed host, LBC. Match 3 is upon us and, by Crom, what a match it is! This week, we have a BATTLE of the BARBARIANS. In this corner, hailing from ancient Cimmeria and weighing in at 220 lbs is Conan: The Adventurer. And in this corner, hailing from our own planet Earth and weighing at maybe 180 lbs is, Thundaar: The Barbarian. The winner of the match up will go on to battle the winner of Match 4 in the second round of matches on a quest to become the MOST WIZARD INTRO EVER. Once again, it's up to you atari.io forum members to determine which of these amazing intros makes it to the next round! Register your vote in the poll above by Saturday, January 28 by 11:59pm PST. The score will be tabulated on Sunday, with the next round to be announced the following Monday.And now, without further adieu, ROUND THREE: FIGHT! VS.

RickR Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Oh man, this is a TOUGH one! They are both fantastic. I went Thundarr for showing the destruction of civilization so convincingly. And maybe I voted against Conan because I'm just a little jealous of his six-pack. Sabertooth and Atari Creep 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Creep Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 I'm with rick on this one. HARD!!!!!!! First instinct is to go with Conan because, well it's Conan. But he is just a Adventurer where Thundarr is a Barbarian, WITH A LIGHTSABER! haha But Conan for the win with me. Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women. I know that is movie cannon but still...... GREAT ROUND!!!!!

nosweargamer Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 I vote He-Man.... But since, that's not an option, I'll go Conan, and for me it's not even close. I'm not familiar with these two, but after listening to the openings, I give Conan the win for the catchy theme and explaining the story. Thundarr feels almost like a commercial since it's mostly narration. Conan also sounds like it could be related to The Animal commercials: Sabertooth and Atari Creep 2 Quote The No Swear Gamer on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChtJuo040EOCTVziObIgVcg Host of The Atari 7800 Game by Game Podcast on iTunes, Stitcher and YouTube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowsdower70 Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Thundarr hands down. Conan the Barbarian is a great movie, but the cartoon pales compared to Thundarr. (Blackstar was better than both of them!)

Sabertooth Posted January 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 Wow, a lot of love for Thundarr and his Fabulous Sun Sword! I ran across a short documentary on Thundarr in my search for the intro clip. It's pretty cool: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sBrZik5qD-Q Atari Creep 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabertooth Posted January 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 And don't worry, He-Man will make his appearance in an upcoming match-up! Atari Creep 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabertooth Posted January 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 With a vote of 7 to 2, Thundarr bests Conan in the Battle of the Barbarians! Tune in tomorrow for match 4! RickR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
