Recap / Mighty Max S 2 E 12 Tar Wars

Go To

When a construction crew opens up an ancient cavern, they unleash a deadly caveman with superhuman strength. But is he the real danger?


Tropes:

  • Bigger on the Inside: Somehow there's a taxi where the backseat can fit Max, his mom, a 3-foot-tall talking chicken, and two huge guys built like linebackers with only moderate crowding.
  • Complete Immortality: Gor and the tiger are both untouched by age and from what we see also totally invulnerable. This is proven when Norman actually gets to hit the tiger on-screen with his sword, which does nothing.
  • Good All Along: Gor didn't actually kidnap Max's mom like everyone's afraid. He was just protecting her from the saber-tooth tiger. It's admittedly hard to tell with how he's a huge caveman with Super-Strength that nobody but Virgil can talk to.
  • Magic Meteor: One gave Gor and the tiger their powers, and it can apparently animate the dead too.
  • Panthera Awesome: The super-strong, invincible saber tooth tiger.
  • Sealed Evil in a Duel: Gor the caveman and the saber tooth tiger spent millions of years battling each other in a sealed off cave which gets blasted open by construction workers at the beginning of the episode. The episode ends with both immortals falling in a tar pit and dragging each other into its depths. Virgil says they'll probably be carrying on their battle until the end of time.
  • The Unintelligible: Gor only speaks Neanderthal, which to most people just sounds like grunts (and makes it hard to guess he was actually voiced by a pretty well-known actor).
