Season 1 Episode 13
Lord of the Snows
Original Air Date: Wednesday, September 25, 1985
Official SynopsisThe THUNDERCATS track a falling meteor of Thundrillium, their power source, to Hook Mountain - the icy landscape ruled by SNOWMAN and his giant cat SNOWMEOW. LION-0 and SNARF offer friendship in exchange for the meteor, but SNOWMAN wages a battle for the "prize." LION-0 uses his power as Lord of "Cats" to command SNOWMEOW to obey him instead of his master. The MUTANTS enlist VULTUREMAN and his Flying Machine to steal the meteor, but SNARF and SNOWMEOW join forces to destroy the sky craft, sending the evil forces running. LION-0 saves SNOWMAN from the Bottomless Chasm and friendship is pledged and accepted.
MoralLion-O is motivated to set out on an independent mission to find Thundrillium, essential for the ThunderCats' existence. Despite the threat of danger, he sees the journey and its successful conclusion as a necessary personal mission to prove his competence and certify his passage into adulthood. When confronted by Snowman, he offers a pact of honor, but Snowman's reply is a test of combat to see if Lion-O can gain his respect and be worthy of such an alliance. Jaga once more teaches Lion-O that it is intelligence in conjunction with strength that succeeds. Faithful to his belief in the Code of Thundera, Lion-O rescues the defeated Snowman from death in order to gain his respect and initiate the alliance.
Achievement motivation is the desire to master problems, improve skills and abilities, and to do well in a particular area. It involves a spontaneous evaluation of one's performance against standards of excellence and an experience of satisfaction when the performance is successful. One element in children's level of achievement motivation is their attributions concerning success and failure in a task. Four attributions or reasons for behavior and outcome can be identified: ability, effort, task difficulty, and luck. These causative factors influence children's reactions to their behavior and their expectations about future performances. They can be considered in two dimensions: internal/external and stable/unstable. Task difficulty and luck are causes external to the individual and if outcome is attributed to those causes, effort to achieve is less likely to be made than if the outcome is attributed to ability and effort, which are causes controlled by the individual. Ability and task difficulty are stable causes, whereas effort and luck are unstable and changeable. Attributions about success and failure made to a stable cause are more likely to effect expectancies about future performance than those made to unstable causes. For example, a child who attributes outcome to his ability will expect success or failure in a similar task if his ability is considered adequate or not. And the child in this instance is likely to work hard, persist in the task, and try to succeed. A child who attributes outcome to task difficulty will expect success or failure if the task is considered easy or hard. On the other hand, a child who attributes outcome to unstable factors like the amount of effort made or luck will have uncertain expectancies about his performance (Weiner, 1974).
