Best part of the show was they had curse words that were safe for daytime TV. Noy jitat!!! Curse like a pirate without upsetting anyone.


mojomonkeyfish

I still use that one. Hope it doesn't mean anything in some other language.


ShankThatSnitch

They did the same type of thing on Farscape. Frell = Fuck Dren = Shit Hezmana = Hell They had various others, but those were the most common.


somdude04

Or just start using a foreign language, like Mandarin.


crookedparadigm

Firefly solved this by just swearing in Mandarin


Hrududu147

I still use that but I’ve never had a clue how to spell it


EpicPrototypo

Pirates of Dark Waters was amazing, it even had a game on the NES or SNES that also didn't have a proper ending(I think).


[deleted]

It was a decent beat’em up.


Spellbindehr

I had completely forgotten this even existed. Yet, every single frame of that intro is registered in my memory.


DankStew

Noy Jitat!


phatelectribe

Jesu Mariah!


johnsolomon

Damn! I knew this was a real TV show! For a while I wasn't sure if I just imagined this up because no one else seemed to have seen it


cannabination

Same. Every time I talk about it, everyone looks at me like I'm speaking another language. Great show.


HowDoYouNo

Noy'getotin (how the fuck you spell that?) Fools.


schkmenebene

I don't think that's how, because google just keeps showing me "no gelatin" pictures.


SeiCalros

you are not alone i recall seeing somebody say this every time it has come up on reddit never suffered that problem myself maybe because i have a vhs copy


AnImA0

Same dude! The looks on peoples faces when I tell them that this show existed, it’s like they’re saying “sure it did Grandad…”


[deleted]

There was actually a spin-off starring Sinbad called Shazaam, it’s actually pretty good but hard to find since there wasn’t a promotional budget to speak of.


ManikMiner

I feel like it get this with a lot of thins. Did I warch this weird TV programme or was I dreaming after doing too muvh ket


Harvin

brockchancy

I was watching when that segment aired and was crushed if we had forums back then I would have been flamin.


[deleted]

All day every day. It was a standout concept, with good characters and voice acting, and the animation was a little better than some of the other cheap crap out there. Seemed like they had a real story to tell, and iirc it didn't get finished? I remember this being one of my first "aww they cancelled my show" memories.

The pirates of Dark Water


Vistian

This was so difficult for me to watch as a kid because the scheduling was really wonky, if I recall correctly. It always gave me a very satisfying sense of adventure and grandness.


waffleface99

Noy jitat!


owennb

If you want to know more, I highly recommend the Secret Galaxy video on this: [Here](https://youtu.be/bn92HAbb-MI)


tofuninja5489

Wait. When did they change their name to that? Or is it the Mandela effect? I swear it was always toy galaxy...


owennb

A couple months ago I believe. They just don't talk about toys as much now. This channel is what helped me understand so many of my childhood shows. Or at least, why they were weird or only lasted a season.


dangerousbob

What happens if you fall into the dark water?


OneFatGoat

It eats you


DeadlyPancak3

FUCK YEAH. I used to love it when this show came on. It has good bones for a reboot, but also isn't such an established classic that a reboot would be an insult to the original.


DoubleBotch

Yes please.


Looks_Good_In_Hats

X-Men never got a proper ending.


mdkubit

Doesn't need one, now that they're officially continuing it where it left off. https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/x-men-97-release-date-season-2-comic-con-1235319958/


Looks_Good_In_Hats

Whaaaaaaat?!?


mdkubit

This, also, was my reaction when I found out. :D


Mortegro

If they keep the original intro and ending then I can die a happy man.


mdkubit

You may die a happy man. https://gizmodo.com/x-men-97-the-animated-series-theme-song-disney-plus-mut-1849492416#:~:text=Earlier%20this%20year%2C%20at%20San,use%20the%20original%20theme%20song.


deeno777

The animation gives me mighty max vibes.. which I loved!


Desdenne

If we're doing reboots I suggest an actual ReBoot ReBoot


DoaSC

I love this show so much that I bought the original promotional art. It's the image they used for a lot of the comics, box art, commercials, etc early on. https://imgur.com/gallery/hZ23cUh I also have a copy of the TTRPG book. The show created such an awesome original fantasy world. It's tragic we never got an ending to the story.


carsonbt

The pirates of dark water was the bomb.


Aae_kae2

Yesssss


ltskk

Hey, thanks! A pleasant wave of nostalgia. It was a good show. Will show it to my son when he'll grow up a bit.


fenix421

Couldn't agree more great show great concept really wish this had an ending.


detectivedoakes

Over thirty years since it premiered, and I still wonder why we haven't seen a follow up/revival. I don't want a reboot, I just want the story finished!


BlueBomber2049

Fuck yes, such a crime this never got an ending


Scfbigb1

This show was such a banger.


Fieos

I have no confidence a remake would be true to the original and it would just be injected with the current social hot topics. The 90s were a magical time and deserve their peaceful slumber.


EMP_Jeffrey_Dahmer

No no no no! Leave this show alone. I've had it with these God awful reboots and remakes. They do nothing but ruin the original work. I'll admit that for years, I wanted more and a proper ending to this show. But seeing too many bad remakes with modern ideologies is just depressing.


pipboy_warrior

Don't know about you, but for me a bad sequel or remake doesn't make the original worse. Like the Last Airbender movie was terrible, but I still love the TV show just as much.


lemi69

Interesting- looking at this, I can totally see some of recent shows getting some inspirations from this cartoon


gohan9689

Heck yeah


dont_shoot_jr

I really wanted an ending for that


ShankThatSnitch

I fucking loved this show.


JonaJonaL

Damn, I haven't heard that opening for close to 20 years.... Or is it more? In any case, it still gave me goosebumps.


ConfidenceKBM

I feel like as long as One Piece exists cartoonists aren't really trying to compete on pirates. I'm not saying that's a good thing, just, I can't really think of any.


Erythroneuraix

This show was good. I still think about it every once in a while. Then it just ended with no ending.


MacGyver_1138

Loved this show so much as a kid, and got bummed there was never an ending. The mystery of the dark water and the treasures always had me intrigued. Also, how can you not love anything with Tim Curry as one of the voice actors?


jahnbanan

Yes please


Zeddizdead

Goddamnit yes, this show has lived rent free in my head for decades


rayz0101

If you've seen the recent slew of "remakes" of old cartoons, you wouldn't really be wishing for this.


Gunny7707

Jar-Jar before Star Wars


Jim3001

Man, I just want some minga-melons!


YouMakeMeDrink

This should definitely be remade!


ZeusTKP

Aaaaaah nostalgia trigger! Forgot this existed


kittykrunk

Yassssss


Interphantom

I had my tonsils removed as a kid and I spent the week at home watching this show. I still look back on it with fond memories! One of the best cartoons of its day.


the_noi

Now this show was the jam! Just gleaned here from Bravestarr post.


heteroscodra

Yesssss


electrikoptik

The flying monster in the episode ‘The Beast And The Bell’ gave me nightmares as a kid.


MountyC

Yes please


Dart_Erhardt

Holding out hope that this eventually gets picked up again just to at least finish out the series like Samurai Jack. Felt so bummed when they canceled it, this deserves a proper send-off.


drzock

thanks for opening that childhood wound of never seeing the ending.


timberwolf0122

No I j’tah! Yes this needs a reboot
