Totally! And that same fun seemingly enjoyed by all involved now translates to us being able to share in that fun even as adults as well.

It's a rare gift to keep a kid entertained and still fly one right over the top of their head, so years later they'll realize how much funnier the scenes were without feeling insulted or "dumbed down."

That 5-episode mini-series format predicted the streaming format. Case in point, Boba Fett is only 7-episodes.

They were epics.

It's a fun miniseries, but I'd say character use is worse in Pyramid of Darkness compared to other miniseries. This is where Green Shirts get heavy use. Previous minis, you could see who was on what mission. PoD, it's 3 or 4 characters and some nobodies. And why Admiral Ledger and not Keel-Haul? Cobra has this, too. Who is Colonel Slash? They had enough named Cobra toy characters to use, like Scrap-Iron or Firefly (does he even appear in PoD?), but invented one (and his mute assistant).

Where's our Colonel Slash, Satin, Fatal Fluffy, and Snakeling worker figures? I know, I know, Super 7.

This always bothered me.
Same with Gen Flagg. He was in M.A.S.S. Device and suddenly Col Sharp pops up out of nowhere.

Different points of contact didn't bother me, and I could see "frontier" posts having characters that CC didn't like assigned to them. Most westerns seem to work that way, working their way up the ladder to the better villains. Satin was also a Sunbow character. Odd, though, I believe Scarlett appears on the space station and in the PIT at various times.

Ha. Admiral Ledger. The man wasn't a fan of women aboard his ship. 😉

After Lady Jaye was onboard, claimed she wasn't bad luck, and got Flint to double-down for her, Cobra succeeded in turning on the pyramid and they had to put-up sails to move again. Maybe the Vice-Admiral wasn't completely wrong?
