The love triangle was the first sign. Kinda started to lose interest in it. Then yesterday Lion-O got burned again.

Cat's Lair wasn't built, the Thundertank became a motor home. Got lame. Needed more campyness.

I wanna know what's Will Friedle gonna do now?

It's a shame this got axed and nobody else wanted to take it up nor has there been any ambitious animators on the net willing to finish the series off.

Overall it was ok but never a patch on the original and always difficult to "not compare" as such. What I loved about the original was the fact that the Thundercats used their skills and intelligence to beat their enemies and there was often a moral story in each episode. This time around the Thundercats have been painted out as unintelligent, immature and backward thinking.

There was much humour in the original especially with the mutants but all that was pretty much erased this time around with the reboots of Monkian and Jackalman being rather disturbingly psychotic and sadistic.

The new tried to be too cool that it ultimately failed and given that the vast majority of viewers were going to be fans of the old show, they shouldn't have diverged too much from the original concpets. For example with Pummyra turning evil and wanting to kill Lion-O, that was impossible in the original story arch and wouldn't have made sense for her to be angry because Lion-O didn't hear her faint calls for help beneath the rubble.

Finally and a criticism of both series, I hated how it was impossible to ever truly defeat Mumm-Ra. Sure he was meant to be "ever living" but if there was a way for him to become that then surely there must have been a way to take that away? In that sense the Thundercats were never truly going to defeat him and he would keep coming back again and again and again.
