YMMV / Thundarr the Barbarian

• Awesome Music: Dean Elliott's opening theme, which perfectly underscores the destruction of civilization shown after the comet passes, as well as Thundarr's introduction afterward.
• Fridge Horror: In "Portal into Time", Thundarr, Ookla and Ariel go back in time to around the early 1980s (when the show was made) and befriend a little girl named Samantha who helps them in their time traveling antics before they return to the future... then you realize that sweet little girl probably died quite horribly in the show's big 1994 disaster, or even if not then she most likely died in the aftermath of it by God knows what means...
• Hilarious in Hindsight: “Battle of the Barbarians” might have been seen as reference to Shi from Fallout 2, where Asian-esque culture appeared in post-apocalyptic China Town (though in the videogame’s case, combination of surviving Chinese submarine crews and vairous wastelanders whose only understanding of China came from holotapes of martial arts movie).
• Nightmare Fuel: The opening sequence. Not only is the moon split in half, but Earth's atmosphere is damaged, and cities are graphically wiped out by a tsunami and volcanoes.
