The most original sci-fi series ever was the classic 60s streaming on the Peacock

Science fiction is a way for creative people to imagine how today’s problems will be viewed from a future perspective. Gene Roddenberry created Star Trek: Original Series 1966 was the West where Westerners united in a utopian view of the future, but a few years ago, married couples Gerry and Sylvia Anderson were working to make the planet a better place on England’s Atlantic Ocean. Although the resulting series, Thunderbirdis about the world’s leading rescue mission, using advanced technology, which is the best memory, as every character is a puppet.
Thunderbird is walking
that’s right, Thunderbird There is no human performer on screen, everyone from the heroic Tracy family to the evil puppets and voice actors playing the evil hats. Each puppet has multiple heads to convey different facial expressions, multiple interchangeable parts, and can weigh up to 300 pounds when fully garmented and assembled. The most impressive feat is how to synchronize the puppet to the voice actor by using a tape and an electromagnetic switch in the head, converting the sound waves into electric impulses, which are then moved into the mandible to simulate speech.
As impressive as a puppet, but still Thunderbird The wandering of a generation is the impressive Thunderbird itself: five advanced vehicles driven by a son of inventor Jeff Tracy, including a submarine (4), a space station monitoring system (5), a large aircraft (1), a large aircraft (20) and a spacecraft (3). The continuous lingering footage on an impressively detailed vehicle takes up a large portion of the runtime of each episode, but not only does no one complain, it also helps establish a tradition of reusing the impressive start sequences from later shows, including Voltron,,,,, Electric Power Rangers, and Paw patrol.
Science fiction shows about life-saving
Thunderbird Not only is the plot a technical miracle, the plot also pushes the envelope by allowing Tracy’s organization of international rescue and lives up to its name, and each plot focuses on the rescue mission. Admittedly, many rescues are the result of the evil hood plot as he tries to manipulate the market and make himself dirty, while Lady Penelope, an ally of the Tracy family, is a rich super-liar mystery, along with her Butler Aloysius, but the focus is always accompanied by Tracy’s Thunderbird, whose thunderbird (Tracy) is always their Thunderbird (Tracy). The only modern equivalent is everything Paw patrolwhich also misses violence and most crimes (although you know there is no benefit to chicken) to focus on using advanced technology to save lives, rather than taking them away.
Almost every sci-fi series of the past 30 years has included violence and conflict, and that’s what makes Thunderbird Success, as a majority nonviolent performance, is even more impressive. Ignoring expectations, the series continues to be hit by attacks in its home country England and other Commonwealths, but in the United States and, surprisingly, Japan, international rescue groups will influence international rescue groups. Superman The vehicle itself helped plant seeds of the later mecha anime prosperity, including The Gospel of the Origin of Neon Lights and Gundam. In fact, the show is so beloved that even the modern remake succeeded.
Remakes are very popular
Thunderbird is walking2015’s CGI/Live-Action Hybrid Remake, updated the Modern Age series, lasting three seasons and 78 episodes related to modern children, and keeping the spirit of the original series. Before his death in 2012, Gerry Anderson gave a remake blessing, with the focus on bold high-tech rescues using Thunderbirds, including in the final season, the elaborate deep space rescue pushes the machines and the Tracy Boys, which are taller, taller, faster, faster.
Between the original and the modern remake, Thunderbird Thanks to Matt Parker and Trey Stone Team USA: World Policewhich makes puppets imitate on the big screen, but the series was released on VHS, DVDs and Alter, Blu-ray, making it available to every generation. Well, this is the 2004 Incredible Live-Action Remake directed by Jonathan Frakes, with Bill Paxton as Jeff Tracy, Ben Kingsley as the hood, and Vanessa Hudgens as the team’s mechanic Tin-Tin. In an interview with The Guardian, Gerry Anderson called the film “actually, it’s the biggest nonsense I’ve ever seen in my life.”
Thunderbird is still great today
The live-action film failed, rightfully so, as it abandoned the original film’s groundbreaking puppet work, a universal action movie that, despite this, has a much more focus on nonviolence than other child-friendly science fiction movies. Even today, Thunderbird The production team stands out because of how much miles the production team gets from puppets and elaborate real-world models. It’s a proof of creativity, unlike most modern science fiction, it also dares to envision a future technology to save lives, and surprisingly, some people will do the right thing because it’s the right thing.
Every episode Thunderbirdincluding the iconic award-winning theme song, is streaming on Peacock.
