Season 1 Episode 42
Lion-O's Anointment Second Day: The Trial of Speed
Original Air Date: Tuesday, November 19, 1985
Official SynopsisLION-0 undergoes CHEETARA's Trial of Speed, the second test in the Anointment Trials, which he must pass in order to remain Lord of the THUNDERCATS. LION-0 escapes a man-eating MANDRAGA FLOWER, the two-headed GAW RAK-RAK, and the dwarf-like PIRRITS. Meanwhile, CHEETARA dodges the MUTANTS' spaceships. With five miles remaining in the race, LION-0 almost gives up, believing that it is useless to try and beat CHEETARA's Super-Speed ability. LION-0 decides that he does not want to lose the race by quitting, and gives his greatest effort to the finish line. LION-0 wins the race and learns that CHEETARA's Super-Speed has a two-mile limit. LION-0 passes CHEETARA's Trial of Speed, earning his insignia as well as the other THUNDERCATS' admiration. LION-0 goes on to face the next trials of WILYKAT and WILYKIT.
MoralLion-0 is faced with another trial as part of his Anointment Trials, and again the ThunderCats, while respecting the rules of the trials, find themselves acting together against outside forces. Each of them knows the purpose of the test and accepts his adversarial role in it. Sometimes elders will test or challenge children to teach a lesson or for a greater good, as in these trials. In this trial, Lion-0 learns once more, as he had in the past, to use his ingenuity in addition to his physical attributes. But mainly he learns task persistence. He learns not to assume he will fail before trying. He also learns not to give up in the course of a task, even though success looks doubtful. This quality of not giving up pays off for him and he succeeds in his second trial.
Children differ in how they perceive failure and the causes for it. Children who are helpless or perceive themselves unable to overcome failure attribute failure on a task to uncontrollable factors such as lack of effort. Having experienced failure, their performance decreases and they spend little time searching for ways to overcome failure. As a result, they give up easily in new tasks. Mastery oriented children attribute failure to controllable factors such as effort. Rather than ruminating on the causes of the failure, they direct themselves to attainment of a solution by testing hypotheses using self-instruction and self-monitoring. Helpless children might benefit by being trained to seek solutions by hypothesis testing like mastery-oriented children (Diener & Dweck, 1978).
