anointment trial 5 comment archive Average Fan Rating = 4 out of 5 stars James C UK 11:01pm on Monday, January 20th, 2014 Don't get me wrong, this is an excellent outing. However, I feel Mumm-Ra, with all his supposed powers gets defeated far too easily, in this and other episodes. 15.02.2007, 00:05 matt it seems kind of ridiculous that they would send liono to defeat the biggest enemy without a weapon. I mean, it awesome that Liono wins the way he does. It is really the only feasible way in which Mummra could be defeated without any help. But still, becoming lord of the thundercats shouldn't require you to defeat an enemy who you never defeated with the sword. 17.02.2007, 22:04 leppardra It's not surprising that Lion-O enters Mumm-Ra's pyramid fairly easily. Look how many times he was in there before (and after) the anointment trials. Maftet the "Lynx God" looks like a cheetah instead of a lynx. And Mumm-Ra is destroyed for all time? Nope. That would have brought the show to a screeching halt, and Mumm-Ra was needed for two more seasons. The anointment scene in front of a crowd outside the Lair was a nice touch, though. I guess the celebration party started when Lion-O gave the Cat Signal; I noted Third Earthers going across the Lair's drawbridge and into the Lair while the Signal shone in the sky. I hope Lion-O got his birthday party at the same time.
