Two Geek Topics Will Be Challenged The ultimate

battle will come to pass. One shall stand. One

shall fall. Hello and welcome to GCRN Wars Episode

6, which kicks off our 80s cartoons villain tournament.

I am TFG and Mike, one of your hosts. Joining

me is Steve Megatron. Hello. Hello. TV's mr.

Neal still function We have optimus solo here,

which this is going to be very interesting So

Optimus solo, why don't you tell us and the people

listening what is gonna be going on between GCR

and wars episode 6 to 11? Well, basically the

folks here at GCRN are trying to get in with

the times here. It's March and it's all about

March Madness everywhere you go. It's about tournaments

and whatnot. So why not join the crowd like little

sheep that we are and do our own little March

Madness tournament. But GCRN style and that's

why we have chosen the first one to be an 80s

cartoon villain tournament. We won't do this

just in March, depending on how everyone reacts

to it and you know what kind of success we have

with it. We may do multiple tournaments during

the year throughout the year with different topics

different geek themes but we thought a good place

to start would be 80s cartoon villains so that's

what we're doing and what's gonna happen basically

we have a set of podcast episodes in this first

one we will be recording our thoughts on four

battles that will be comprising the first half

of round one and then we will open it up to the

public to vote on the winners We will record

a second half of first round and we will let

the public decide winners again and then based

on everyone's votes and whatnot we will have

winners moving on to the second round and we

will continue until we are left with the final

two and then obviously the winner overall. There

are 16 combatants and they range in uh they basically

run the gamut of different 80s action cartoons

boys cartoons uh Hopefully villains that most

people have heard of or at least some that would

be your favorites And we will see who ends up

as they last to standing like I said So basically

a set of five podcast episodes with all kinds

of voting that you guys can do on the site at

geek cast radio comm Yes, it'll be five five

podcasts for the overall tournament and then

a sixth episode episode 11 will be the final

results, final tally, final thoughts kind of

thing. So what you're about to hear in our podcast

here, we're not going to determine anything.

That's all going to be determined on people and

their votes and what not. So we're just going

to basically introduce the matchups, break down

the competitors, give our thoughts on who we

think would win in this battle or who should

win in this battle. Some discussions may be short

and sweet, some may be a little bit more long

and debated, but we're just going to give you

our thoughts and you can listen to what everyone

has to say and then cast your vote at the website

all right who do we have coming up first introduce

this first clip well we're gonna start off with

a bang here hopefully two people that everybody

has heard of and that is skeletor versus hordak

the teacher versus the pupil blast i must learn

to control my rocket form better where could

i be Castle Grayskull! By Hordeworld! I'm back

on Eternia! It's changed since last I was here.

Could it be that my old pupil is still here?

Ah! My old throne room! My throne room now, old

friend! Skeletor! How good to see you again!

What brings you to Eternia after all this time?

I came after a traitor to the Horde, and it looks

like I've found one! Alright, as I said before,

we're starting off with Skeletor versus Hordak.

Most people should know these characters, but

just in case you weren't present maybe during

the 80s, Skeletor is the most evil being and

dangerous threat on Eternia. His only goal is

power, and to that end he will not rest until

he possesses the secrets of Castle Grayskull,

whereby he could become Master of the Universe.

And this places him in direct conflict with the

only man powerful enough to stop him, of course,

He -Man. He -Man! Yeah, so Skeletor is the main

villain from He -Man, and Hordak is the main

villain from She -Ra. Now, obviously, these two

both existed in different continuities and different

storylines. You had the original series with

He -Man and She -Ra. You had the reboot in the

2000s from He -Man, where Hordak made an appearance

in that version. And then, of course, they existed

in comics, etc., and some written works as well.

So these two have definitely had contact with

each other. So it kind of made sense to put them

against each other here in the first round. So

Mike, I know you're very familiar with the He

-Man universe. So what are your thoughts on Skeletor

as a villain and on Hordak as a villain? Well,

just to kind of clarify just a little bit, Hordak

only showed up in a flashback in the 2002 series.

They were going to... About to get epic. They,

it was. They were going to go that route if that

show had gotten another season. They were gonna

bring in She -Ra and the Horde and all that stuff.

Sadly, it only got 39 episodes. Um, but no, Skeletor

and Hordak, just based off the filmation cartoons,

these two hate each other. How, how Hordak taught

him anything is beyond me because they can't

stand each other. I don't know. Don't honestly

don't know who I'm gonna pick to win between

the two of them cuz They both are bungling morons

Honestly, they are because Okay, if you look

at it by planet Eternia the good guys are winning

Skeletor has yet to take over aetheria the horde

essentially rules the planet or at least that

part of the planet where the Whispering Woods

and the Fright Zone is and all that. It's basically

under horde power. taking place in boston from

october 25th through the 28th this program focuses

on business expansion and organizational growth

strategies that can lead your company into the

future learn more about this three -day program

for senior leaders by visiting hbs .me slash

growth that's hbs .me slash growth in a battle

Between the two of them. I don't know who I'd

pick so I'm gonna I'm gonna wait and see what

everybody else Interesting to note too that you

know if you follow the line from from 2002 and

whatnot that in that Continuity it reveals that

hordak basically saved Skeletor's life Right.

And it kind of explains why Skeletor is basically

a bear skull individual instead of having the

flesh and whatnot as Keldor had before. So yeah,

go ahead. Well, figuratively, not figuratively,

literally, Keldor's face was burned off in the

very first episode. That's how his face got disfigured.

And then Hordex obviously gave him a different

Don't know it's it's one of those things where

it's kind of weird where in the beginning randor

essentially turns keldor into Skeletor with the

with the vile thing the the poison or whatever

it was and then later Hordak saves him and turns

him into Skeletor I always thought it was a combination

of the two not just one or the other Well and

just real quick before we get too far I just

wanted to give some basics out here because if

you're gonna go by the original series the original

filmation series Skeletor relies mostly on magic.

Hordex powers kind of are the product of science.

And he's able to transform himself in a variety

of ways. He can turn his arm into an energy cannon,

which has also been seen to, you know, shoot

fire out. He can become a massive tank. He can

transport himself over great distances by becoming

a rocket. He's transformed his arm into a vacuum

cleaner. Form a little better. So he has a lot

of that ability whereas Skeletor is more so,

you know, kind of the mystical, magical. He does

have the ability, obviously, to transport himself

and to do a lot of the same things. What Hordak

does is just in a different way. Instead of transforming

his own body parts into stuff or his whole body

into things, Skeletor uses more, you know, the

mystical magic realm. I mean, it kind of all

blends together, but... True. Who else has thoughts

on Skeletor and Hordak? I think it's kind of

a foregone conclusion, but I'm gonna go with

Hordak just because... Like Mike said, Hordak

pretty much ruled Etheria, and in the 20 years

that he left Eternia, what did Skeletor do? He

pretty much rules Snake Mountain, which is run

down and looks like crap. Hordak actually got

stuff done. Yeah, he's bumbling, but he accomplished

something. He has an army. Give it this I'm gonna

give it the Hordak although Skeletor does deserve

props because he did take out for crime in that

one cartoon where he turned to face and I take

it we're not going to count the the new adventures

version of Skeletor the Groucho version as I

call him I don't I don't know what that would

even add the Skeletor's character that would

make him worse somehow Considering that the picture

that we used for the matchup is the classic Skeletor

look and not the comedic villain, no. New Adventures

is not in continuity. Technically it is, but

it's not in this continuity. I know it is, but

I'm just saying that in this purpose it's not.

They also had very different ways in how they

ruled and how they... basically commanded their

underlings and their minions and whatnot. Skeletor

didn't always seem to be in control of his men,

whereas Hordak was much more... At one point,

at least in the 2000 version, that one scene,

he just completely annihilated one of his...

Don't know if it was one of his generals or one

of his you know What what his technical rank

would be but someone who disagreed with him?

He just basically just killed him So Hordak had

a definitely a different way of ruling that made

him seem more Intimidating I think than Skeletor

who at times was just basically whining and crying

why his people sucked Yeah, and the other thing

is Hordak as you said Kevin is more so military

than Skeletor is, and he essentially has, they

even say, an army of horde troopers. The only

army Skeletor has is poorly constructed robots.

I know this is gonna probably irritate people

that listen to us all the time because we always

revert back to Transformers analogies, but to

me Skeletor is almost akin to the Starscream

to Hordak's Megatron. I would so agree with that.

Not saying which one's better. I'm just saying

that's kind of how they seem to like line up

with you know If they're in the same universe

like so, you know, Skeletor is more of the whiny.

I mean, I love Skeletor He's one of my favorite

villains of all time But yeah, Hordex much more

militarily and you know intimidating to me Steve

I would say that Between the two of them and

to piggyback and kind of what you guys have already

said It just They kind of pale in comparison

like with Skeletor anyway, he Like you guys said

had 20 years to do absolutely nothing and Hordak

rules, you know a big area and Just for sheer

pure appearance alone Hordak looks more intimidating

than Skeletor Yeah, I mean just Take the live

-action version of Skeletor that was pretty badass.

Oh, yeah that that would That one would kick

this one's ass in a heartbeat. And I think it's

pretty typical of the 80s to have the bumbling

villains. Other than a select few, but that didn't

come till later. But anyways, the main thing,

I think that Hordak would mop Skeletor's ass

if he got the actual chance to do it. The right

way and couldn't get himself locked up Yeah,

I agree with that I mean It's hard because they

both have the ability to escape So if they are

battling each other with it would the battle

ever happen or where they just keep like transporting

themselves away Thanks, we just keep going back

to snake mountain and we would do the eternal

dance of escaping and Yeah cowards The other

thing you got to take into account is that they

know They know one another because they are pupil

and student much like Obi -Wan and Vader were

They know each other's weaknesses and you take

a look at secret of the sword Skeletor just does

a straight double cross and just kicks Hordak

back to Aetheria essentially And then Hordak

is just like, Oh my God, I can't believe he did.

He doesn't say that exactly, but it's like one

of those things where I don't know. Overall,

I would agree with you guys that in the long

run, in a long drawn out battle, Hordak would

probably beat Skeletor's ass. But what if we

give Skeletor all the things that his different

action figures got, like the claws that snap

back and forth. If you did that, I would probably

say Skeletor would win. If we did that, we would

also have to give Hordak all the stuff that his

did, because Hordak, even though Skeletor got

battle armor, Hordak got VAC metal armor a couple

of times. Skeletor had that one figure that had

like the terror claws thing or whatever. Yep.

Yep. Those were pretty damaging, I would think.

Any final thoughts, Neil? No, you guys are entering

a territory that I'm not familiar with, which

is the boys. Alright, so Hordak wins for our

opinion, but we'll have to wait to see what happens

with the voting then, right? We will have to

wait and see if people agree or if the popularity

of Skeletor carries him, but I think, you know,

in complete agreement, I think Hordak was, you

know, kind of the master and he was, he just

has that intimidating edge that I think he would

pull it out, but we'll have to see what the people

think. But yeah, so that would lead us into our

second... First round matchup, maybe a little

more obscure for people. Some of these cartoons

maybe not everyone has seen compared to He -Man.

But, our second matchup gives us King Zarkon

versus Darkstorm. And that's gonna be a hell

of a matchup. Silence! You are here because it

is the law of our people that all who fail in

battle must be punished! We do not tolerate failure!

Why me? Why don't you humiliate the Spectral

Knights? Alright, so as we said we have King

Zarkon going against Dark Storm for those of

you who don't know who the heck we're talking

about. King Zarkon is the ruler of Planet Doom

and the drool empire from the cartoon Voltron.

And often times associated or brought up with

his son Lotor, Prince Lotor. So that's who King

Zarkon is. And Dark Storm would be the main villain

from another 80's cartoon which would be the

Visionaries. and he was a leader of the Darkling

Lords and he had his little totem like all of

them did. You know, there's a lot of magical

there. He bears the totem of the mollusk, and

his power staff holds the power of decay, and

he had a secondary power to reverse his own decay,

and obviously he was the main adversary for Leoric

of the Visionaries. I know of maybe not as popular

of villains as we were just talking about with

Skeletor and Hordak, but Mike, what do you have

to say about... I know you know King Zarkon pretty

well. Oh, yes, but I'm gonna actually start with

Dark Storm because I just before we did the the

recording of this episode I Spent about I don't

know two and a half hours watching visionary

episodes I found some I found someone who had

a playlist of pretty much a majority of the episodes

on YouTube and I gotta say I'm glad as a kid.

I never watched visionaries All as it is is oh

the age of technology is over the age of magic

is now and Then they all get these magical totems

as you said it kind of reminds me of I swear

to God it It's a human version of battle beasts

is what it reminds me of everybody's got their

little symbol on their chest that has a certain

power whatever else Yeah King's Archon wins this

for me. It's not just because I love Voltron.

It's not because I never saw Visionaries as a

kid. I watched at least seven episodes of Visionaries

before we did this. And Darkstorm did absolutely

nothing. Okay, sure. He can make people decay

and he can reverse his own decay. King's Archon

sends his magical witch Hagar and his bumbling

son... Out, of course, Lothar doesn't get bumbling

until he starts, you know, going all not -me's

for Allura, but, you know, King Zarkon has these

giant monsters that he sends out after people,

not just an army of magical, mystical people

that look like humanoid battle beasts. So yeah,

for me, Zarkon wins this. The Napa guy knows

not to judge a man by his car's multicolor paint

job or absence of modern gadgetry. Who cares

if it's technically old enough to vote and the

windows are powered by the strength of your left

arm? Your monthly payment is zero, and it'll

stay that way. Because with over 500 ,000 parts

and a little Napa know -how, you can keep anything

on the road. She may not be pretty, but she's

all yours. That's Napa know -how. Alrighty then,

you seem very sure of that. Steve, do you know

either of these characters very well? I'm not

too familiar with Darkstorm, but I am familiar

with King Zarkon, just because I did watch some

of Voltron. I just think that his character just

overlooking at the two, because like I said,

I'm not extremely familiar with visionaries it

I do know that it was a Hasbro toy line and that

It was Chris Lada is the voice which is weird

But I just I just think that King Zarkon's a

more superior villain he just He does kind of

like what we were talking about with when Neil

brought up with Hordak and Skeletor that Hordak

actually accomplished some things You know King

Zarkon did You know, he he's responsible for

killing King Alphor in a duel. So, I mean, he

does have things that he can point to that he

accomplished, you know, as far as his rule goes

and things he was able to people he was able

to defeat and things he was able to rule. Whereas

Darkstorm is kind of in that villain class that

they're always trying to do something. But given

the nature of cartoons in the 80s, it's not like

he ever succeeded with anything. Yeah, that's

kind of what I was thinking. See, I'm not very

familiar with either of these. I have watched

Voltron, but it's been years. But just by nature

of the two shows, Visionary is being very episodic,

so therefore the Dark Storm's plans are probably

not going to go very far. Whereas the other guy,

because the story is much more epic and spans

over the course of the show, You're going to

get his plans that are going to go much farther

and he's going to actually accomplish things.

So therefore I'm going to have to give it to

Zarkon. Yeah, I can't believe it couldn't even

be his name. King Zarkon wins it for me, but

I'm not very informed on this so take that for

what you will. Think another thing that you can

kind of look at when you're comparing these two

is you know? It's been a long time since I was

up on my visionary knowledge But I believe you

know if you take the totem away from dark storm

He's just another guy if you take the objects

away like the objects are the things that are

giving him his powers whereas King's Archon basically

just has If I'm remembering right he just has

power Yeah, he does. That's ours, yes. So in

that fashion, you know, if they were in a battle

and King Zarkon was able to, you know, remove

the items or the objects from Darkstorm, I would

think it would be over. Yeah, it would be. So

I think we're pretty clear on this one, unless

anyone has anything to objectively say that we're

all in agreement that King Zarkon would probably

take this one. Oh, yeah. So well again, we'll

have to see what the people say and what they

think as far as King's Archon and Dark Storm

But that will lead us into the next matchup,

which we're going old school now Not that all

of these aren't from the 80s, but these are from

the early 80s and we're gonna look at the next

matchup being See if anybody even knows who I'm

talking about here, Venger and Overlord Alright,

well just in case you all are still scratching

your head after hearing those clips and you're

still not sure who the heck we're talking about

here. Uh, Venger would be the main villain from

the cartoon Dungeons and Dragons, and Overlord

would be the main villain from the cartoon Blackstar,

which basically preceded all of the other cartoons

that we are uh discussing now if you're going

by just a uh who had the most horns on their

helmet i guess overlord wins this because he

definitely has the outfit with the four horns

coming out the side whereas venger always peculiarly

had just the one horn well he does have wings

over overlord so he does have wings now uh i

want to start here real quick because i just

remember dungeons and dragons i i loved that

cartoon as a kid and literally venger was one

of the only villains in all of the 80s cartoons

that I watched that literally gave me the creeps.

Like, he was scary to me as a kid. And I don't

know what it was about him. I don't know if it

was the black horse that he rode, or the one

horn, or the massive wings that he had, or the

fact that Peter Cullen was doing the voice, which

if Peter Cullen would have never done Optimus

Prime, Literally think he would have gone and

done a lot more villain voices because he had

a cool villain voice But since Optimus Prime

has become such an iconic voice and character

and whatever it's kind of like Makes it so it's

hard not to hear that But he he has a booming

Intimidating villain voice and I thought it fit

venger really well He was just in like I said

an intimidating scary look from the looks and

everything And of course, he's a powerful sorcerer.

And another thing that kind of made him cool

to me as a kid was the mystery about him, because

you didn't get to hear him a lot or get a lot

of information about him. He would come and go,

or he would appear and not appear. He would change

forms. He had power with lightning and shape

-shifting and stuff like that. But he's not immortal

and he's not invincible. So I mean, I guess he

could be beaten but to me he was a very intimidating

Character in and of itself. So I'm gonna lean

towards venger in this one, but that's not to

say that the overlord wasn't Kind of an intimidating

villain as well. I just don't think he had the

powers of Of venger and venger can fly around

and do all kinds of stuff that overlord is gonna

have to try to compete with so that's gonna be

a Tricky thing to do Mike, what do you think

about these two guys? Venger takes it. Venger

is way creepier than Overlord. And out of the

episodes of Dungeons and Dragons that I did watch

before this record, Venger never dropped a scroll

into the volcano. I watched a couple of episodes

of Blackstar and... Overlord is always dropping

stuff, just like people in Mask always drop stuff

just for the hell of it. He's clumsy. What about

you, Neil? Well, going off, I'm not familiar

with Blackstar, but just going off what you said,

yeah, Overlord seems kind of clumsy, whereas

Venture is actually fairly creepy. But one thing

I want to bring up about Venger is he wasn't

the only villain on the show. There was also

Tiamat, and Tiamat was kind of the other villain.

They weren't aligned though. I think Tiamat actually

gave Venger a lot of problems. But I still feel

that that doesn't take away from Venger. It just

makes him a vulnerable villain. And the weird

thing about Venger is that there was supposed

to be like a face turn at the end in the last

episode that never got produced. I don't know.

I don't know what that says about his character

because he's he's kind of evil, but he's kind

of not but if we're talking about sheer, you

know Who's gonna win in a battle? I'm gonna give

it to venture It's just thinking what kind of

craziness would it be if somehow I know we're

all giving it to venture right now, but if it

was somehow to end up where it was Overlord against

Skeletor They're both voiced by Alan Oppenheimer.

So that would be crazy. Steve, what are your

thoughts on these two guys? I have to also agree

with a lot of what you guys have said. I mean,

Venger's, again, he's very creepy and intimidating

looking. There seems to be a trend in pretty

much everybody we've covered so far. They're

all some form of a wizard slash sorcerer. Right.

and it just, if it were a battle between, obviously

that's what this is, between Overlord and Venger,

I think I'd be more scared and running the other

way of Venger than Overlord. I mean, yeah, he

has the thorny skull to scare the crap out of

you, but other than that, I don't really see

a reason to run. Yeah, and one thing that I did

try to do somewhat, I didn't do it 100 % because

I didn't want it to be completely like this,

but you will notice on this side of the bracket

a lot more of the magical, mysterious, sorcery

type characters compared to when we get to the

flip side of the bracket, which we'll see a few

less of that and kind of a different villain

on the other side of the bracket, for the most

part, but like I said, not 100%. But to me, I

just have to, you know... If we're coming down

to an actual battle where they're gonna both

fight each other You know if you take away what

they did in the series and this and that and

they're just actually facing off I just don't

see how Overlord can compete with Venger's ability

to not only fly, but all of the different magical

powers that he possesses. Overlord seems more

grounded and needing that close combat where

Venger's going to be able to come with a bunch

of different stuff that I don't think Overlord

would be prepared for. But that's just kind of

how I see it going down Mike any final thoughts

on this battle And I know a lot of these discussions

are going somewhat quick because it is the first

round It's always like, you know, like in the

basketball tournaments or whatever when you have

the 16 seed going against the one seed or whatever

So don't worry when we move on through this tournament.

We're gonna get some I assume some debates on

certain characters when and if they match up

against each other But Mike any thoughts final

thoughts on venture and overlord? No, Venger's

way scarier. Venger could just give Overlord

a dirty look and Overlord just pass out. Overlord

ain't that scary to me at all. Alright, then

that sets the stage here for the fourth battle.

And like I said, sometimes you have that 16 seed

going against that 1 seed. That may be what we're

getting here with Doc Terror against Cobra Commander.

Alright, I'm gonna assume that most people know

who Cobra Commander is and what show he's from.

Doc Terror, on the other hand, is the cyborg

scientist who has dreams of world domination

and he goes up against the Centurion. in the

cartoon of the same name, obviously. Kind of

interesting that these two are, again, are with,

you know, the same pairing because they're both

kind of people who are, well, they're both partly,

I don't know, can you call Cobra Commander partly

human at one point? I was once a man. Right,

so they're both men who have basically been turned

into not 100 % humans. Yeah, so I mean you got

Doc Terry the crazy scientist and then you got

Cobra commander from GI Joe who I don't think

we need to say much about as far as His abilities

most people should know that I would think right

Mike. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yes But are we going with

Cobra commander with the faceplate or the hood?

What if we go with the Cobra commander who's

already been basically turn into junk in the

G .I. Joe the movie and then throw Doc Tarrion

against him. Does Doc Tarrion stand a chance

then? I can't believe you even said that. You

mean when he becomes the Deke version and he's

wearing the silver battle armor? No, no, no.

In the movie... He's talking about Rise of Cobra.

No, no, no. I'm talking about the cartoon movie

when he's turned into the slithering snake that

has to be carried around by a roadblock or somebody.

Yeah. That's a pretty big snake. Then if we throw

Doc Tarrion in, I think he has a chance. I think

that's the only way he has a chance. Yeah, that's

the only way he has a chance. But even so, that

was a pretty big snake. I mean, he could just

constrict the hell out of him. Yeah, that's true.

And he'll open like a minute. Yeah, he'd just

fry the hardware. Or he could just swallow him

whole. He'd just fry the hardware. Or he could

just constantly speak to him and annoy the piss

out of him. You just go I Guess we had another

chance where we could have had Chris Lada go

against Chris Lada Can you imagine if if mr.

Lada was still alive in 92 Genie make me an all

-powerful genie instead of whoever voiced Jafar.

Can you imagine? Oh god. I picked the helmeted

version that's pictured in the image. But Cobra

Commander overall would just beat the Aero 11

snot out of Doc Terror. I have to agree. He just

would. What if it would have been Cobra Commander

against Serpentor? Well, he did eventually kick

his ass. It's just he didn't have the balls to

do it until he became a snake. That's true. Neil?

We're talking Serpentor now? I don't know. No!

Okay, uh... I'm gonna have to give it to Cobra

Commander, but not based on Cobra Commander's

physique, because he doesn't seem like a very

intimidating person, but he does have resources.

He has mercenaries, he's got guys on his payroll,

so... I think Cobra Commander has the resources

to handle this guy. Plus, I'm looking at Doctora,

and he looks... He just looks like a mess. I

mean, how does he even walk? Mean I mean you

you could put out a trip line and just knock

the guy over I don't think he's gonna be able

to get up Cobra commander could just throw water

on him. He'd short -circuit When I first saw

the image in the in the in the bracket which

will be in the post I thought hey wait is that

dagger what's miles mayhem's henchmen doing here?

He would just walk up to him you don't stand

a chance So we're all in agreement here that

that Cobra commander would dominate Doc Terror

in the most lopsided matchup we've had So if

it was up to us we would have Hordak Kings Archon,

Venger and Cobra commander advancing But as we

can keep saying it's not up to us. It's up to

the people and their votes now Mike Do we want

to preview the other side of the bracket or not?

We will when we come back after the break. All

right Take a short break and we'll come back

after this. Pixels in the animation is the next

cartoon review podcast series in the geek cast

radio networks long history of reviews series

the game franchises that spawn these cartoons.
