More post-apocalyptic media. Thundarr the Barbarian. This cartoon came out in 1980 and played as re-runs. Thundarr had Ariel and Ookla as companions and usually fought mad wizards 2000 years after the earth suffered cataclysm.

I was trying to get a sense of what spells Ariel and wizards could cast. I am sure they just made it up as they went along. In the one episode I watched, I wrote down the spells cast.

Ariel makes her hand glow for light.
Ariel shoots a magic beam and makes an opponents weapon disappear.
Ariel blocks a wizards magic beam with her magic beam.
Ariel casts a whirlwind to knock out 3 or 4 opponents (Image 4).
Ariel casts a magic beam that acts like a bridge (Image 2) and does it again to act like a ramp.
Wizard Mindok casts a magic beam that hypnotizes scientists (Image 3).
Wizard Mindok creates snakes that wrap around Thundarr, Ariel, and Ookla.
Wizard Mindok creates spheres that capture people, then the sphere and the people shrink to about the size of a cantaloupe melon.

PRINCESS ARIEL SHAVEN

No, the OTHER, earlier Princess Ariel, from the 1980 cartoon series THUNDARR THE BARBARIAN. Had a bit of a crush on her when I was 12.

Controversial hot take? The Herculoids are cooler than Thundarr the Barbarian.

In what might be a vain effort to avoid thinking of things that I don't want to write about, I started thinking about things that I've been considering writing about for a while. The Dungeons & Dragons cartoon from the early 80s was a masterpiece. So was Thundarr the Barbarian. You know, we could put the whole thing together for an RPG…
