@abes10 Well, not really because you said “i know thunderbirds came first but its no big deal”. If it weren’t for Thunderbirds, Team America wouldn’t exist, so it kinda IS a big deal.
@abes10 Trey Parker and Matt Stone have mentioned on numerous occasions that Thunderbirds was the inspiration for the style of Team America, so they did in fact specifically acknowledge that they were copying the T’birds on purpose.
@ACtheLegend team america was genius… there was no hidden win at all what so ever… if anything, the win punched you in the face.. who cares if they used marionettes like thunderbirds? are we going to start accusing cartoons of copying other cartoons because they’re cartoons? or anime shows copying other anime shows because they use the same type of art? no. the only reason no shows really uses marionettes because its a lot of fucking work i know thunderbirds came first but its no big deal.
@SSPoseidon846 Not really, no. Thunderbirds = WIN. Team America = Guys from South Park copying Thunderbirds and adding more swearing = FAIL. Still, it made America looks bad, so potential hidden WIN in there somewhere.
16? I’m 21 I still think this show is the best kids TV show ever. And that movie remake with the kids? Total tosh, the 2 original movies are still amazing to this day!
That Brains was a hard worker…made all those ace machines…imagine the ballache making Tracy island and keeping it secret…apparently it was built by Prisoners of war who were then machine gunned and encased in the concrete base of the Thunderbird 2 launch pad….that family…hard cold people.
i swear the was an episode where there was a thunderbird 6
@rickypierocks
I’m 43 and still watch Thunderbirds.
Humanities Greatest Achievement.
Not that, I am one to over-exaggerate : )
@ACtheLegend well when you put it that way, yes it IS a big deal… but what i meant by that was that they didn’t do anything wrong by doing it…

@ACtheLegend which proves my point further… who cares. it was awesome haha

@4x4WHEELDRIVE Hiram K. Hackenbaker is an alias, it’s not his real name. His real name is unknown.
@ab40 most epic EVER!!!
@4demolition From what I can recall, John and Alan would switch off every month, with one working the space station and one operating Thunderbird 3.
Yes, we would be much safer with International Rescue on the job, and I say that as a loyal Thunderbirds fan.
FAB!
EPIC

@HighlyVisibleNinja One for space, one for randomly flying around the globe but never entering orbit? Doesn’t matter thunderbird 2 was the best.
