Don't remember this episode of He Man

Is this saint seiya

Grew up in a Christian Private School

First or Second grade

Watched The Greatest Stories from the Bible in class with my classmates

There was a brief flashback to David fighting Goliath

Goliath's face gets all bloodied up upon being struck with the sling

Every other kid around me went nuts like gif related and the teacher had to quiet us down

Oh man, this scene lived rent free in my mind for decades.

be 10

watching this some other kids at my mom's Christian fundie friend's house

Oh, here it comes. The bit in the David and Goliath kid's cartoon where Davey slings the rock, it bounces off Goliath's head, he acts like Austin Powers getting hit with a shoe for a second, then he lays down to take a nap-

SLING

BLAM

AAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHH

Reminds me of the daycare I used to go to after school who wouldn't let any of us kids watch the latest episodes of Power Rangers cuz then the playground would turn into the friggin' Kumite.

He-Man? That's satanic. And don't you dare think about putting on that violent GI Joe show!

Reminder Goliath was a Mycenaean Greek, so this story amounts to Hebrew fanfic.

would turn into the friggin' Kumite

lol, I've heard stories like that
the show even had a PSA telling kids not to fight each other because of MMPR

Owchie

I'm bleeding, making me the victor!

Goliath was from Gath in Philistia (roughly the Gaza Strip and Med coast of modern Israel). He was more Phoenician than Greek.

The Book of Samuel was not so much fanfic as "wild legendary exploits of our Founding Father".

Reminder that gaints ARE real, or were. Giant skeletons have been found all over the world. Abraham Lincoln mentioned them in a speech.

You know the rules, you son of a bitch. Stream that film.

Dana and Disney lost mouseketeer

......what's a Kumite? WHOO ATCHTAAAA!!!!

killing nephilem: good

nephilem anti natalist propaganda: bad

They're still real. There's also regular sized ones that look like regular people. Almost all politicians.

The Kumite? HYAAAAAAH I think the Kumite HOO! HAA! is one of those underground martial arts tournaments.

FINALLY! Animated bible stories that aren't restrained by cleanliness!

Hey I had this tape when I was a kid.

Is this really how it went down? I can't imagine anyone throwing a little ass rock to cause this much gore

I'd like to animate the part where Samson kills a 1000 men with an ass's jawbone, or Elisha killing all 42 hooligans with two she-bears. There's so many brutal scenes in the Bible that it would be great to have it and not some Veggie-tales bullshit

this is a Hanna-Barbera cartoon

nani desu ka?!
It's time to dilate again

-David (probably)

Have you ever heard of comic books? Fucking everything is Hebrew fanfic

Slings are nasty little things. They were used as weapons of war for thousands of years before archery fully supplanted them.

Does anyone remember the old Mormon cartoons? Where are those?

kind of a gun to a knife fight.

are you claiming that the creators of the owl house are unusually tall, even of "goliath" proportions?

Fun fact. The rock didn't kill Goliath. It knocked him out. Then David took a sabre and cut his head off.

lol, what a pussy.

Giants are found wherever megaliths are.
That is to say, wherever Neolithic farming civilisations built holy sites and fortifications later people wondered at. Which of course covers Europe and the Middle-East. Therefore giant lore is embedded in those religions from there.

No, every society back then placed great importance on their heavy infantry, while slingers would often be the poorest of society. That would not have been the case if slings were like guns.
Just look at the greek victories in the persian wars. Heavy infantrymen (with a kit very much like the one described for goliath in the bible) charging down and routing loads of guys with ranged weaponry, taking neglible casualties themselves.

I remember reading about that.

Nobody can throw that hard. That is what the sling is for.

Unfortunately for the teacher, that is the reaction God intends for you to have there.

Gone

slings can absolutely be deadly. They build up significantly more momentum than a human can normally fling a rock unaided.
and throwing a rock at someone's head can already be pretty deadly
They were a mainstay in bronze age warfare, but were eventually phased out for a few reasons
1. bows were getting better
2. it's harder to learn to use than a bow
3. armor was getting better
4. archers are easier to pack in formation than slingers

After that they were still used by hunters and shepherds for thousands of years
