YMMV / Galtar and the Golden Lance

Go To

  • Awesome Music: Say what you will about the show and its flaws, but nobody can deny how epic that intro was. Easily the most memorable thing about it.
  • Cult Classic: It's one of the more obscure 1980s cartoons, and the fan base isn't above affectionately referring to it as "a poor man's Thundarr The Barbarian" or "that show that wasn't He-Man and the Masters of the Universe." Still, there's enough charm to be found in this short-lived series for those who do remember it fondly and/or appreciate it for what it is.
  • Nightmare Fuel:
    • The episode "Mursa the Merciless" introduces the titular Vain Sorceress, who uses her magic to steal the youth of other women. We even get to see several of her victims, who all just stand around in her cave (whether they are in some kind of trance or outright dead is never clarified). While Goleeta's youth is eventually restored to her, nothing is ever said of Mursa's other victims.
  • Retroactive Recognition:
  • Shipping:
    • The show gave the Ship Tease to both Galtar and Goleeta and Galtar and Rava. Both are common pairings. However Hanna-Barbera themselves actually produced Valentine's Day cards that more or less confirmed the former two as canon.
    • For Zorn his canon love interest is clearly Marin. Which makes them a Toy Ship.
