Thunderbirds are Go!

They started running that old japanese marionette show on MeTV recently. I haven't seen that shit in ages.
The level of detail they put into the little set pieces and vehicles is honestly impressive. They spent time making things look dirty when appropriate. This must have taken an amazing amount of work.

They did an amazing job. There was just an attention to detail that was top notch.

I hadn't seen it in ages and since the tv is just for bg noise I didn't see any credits. I always thought it was japanese for some reason.

Hey fukwit.
Yeah you retard shit stain.

A. boomers are too old to be on sites like this.

B. There is a generation between millennial losers and boomers called genx. And oh look. Genx were kuds when shows like thunderbird were spammed on TV.

C. Just because you read memes in pReddit like muh everything bad means boomer. Doesn't mean you should mimic it.

Understand?

Thunderbirds was on every Saturday morning when I was a kid. Good times. Now kids get to watch trans-gendered vampires and black mermaids and not fight to save people, but to jail the offender for using the wrong pronouns.

I couldn’t watch this show when I was a kid. It always gave me nightmares that I was being chased by these weird puppets. Throwing darts at my 12 inch GI Joes had the same effect, but it was so fun, I couldn’t stop.

[ - ] TheViciousMrPim [op] 1 point 2.6 yearsSep 11, 2022 16:07:25 ago (+1/-0)

This makes me lol, but I can see it. Those puppets are kinda weird

[ - ] Belfuro 0 points 2.6 yearsSep 11, 2022 18:14:12 ago (+0/-0)

Remember the marionette show with Ball and square robots in a war?

That gave me nightmares. Had monsters and all

Prime has the old and the New. The new is good as well.

Ah, Family of five strong white young men with blue eyes and blonde hair, one brown; saving the world from their private island and orbiter with Lady Penelope reporting to them from her Custom Bespoke Six Wheeled Rolls Royce driven by her butler, Parker. If only we had a real Tracy Family.

Guilty, I have a Thunderbird 2 Model, it was my favorite. Even drops the cargo and Thunderbird 4 comes out.

"Thunderbirds Are Go", by The Rezillos.

Awesome, tight punk pop English band. From @ 1979

Check out the album, " Can't Stand The Rezillos", if you like this one.

Except I didn't set out to watch it. I don't usually sit down and watch TV or movies anymore. It's OTA tv bg noise tuned to 40~70 year old stuff shuffled at random because I live alone. I don't care anywhere near enough to go pirate anything.
