I think it's great how it's captured the feel of the original so well. And better yet, Snarf can't talk! :D

Anyone know when Episode 9 will air?

Londoner 09-30-2011 04:33 PM

So is started then? Gonna go see if i can find it.

Londoner 09-30-2011 04:49 PM

didn't take long btw ;)

Londoner 09-30-2011 05:59 PM

This is far better than the original so far, i'm actually pleasantly surprised.

LuigiD 09-30-2011 06:22 PM

Very very impressed.

Just a heads up to our fans here, season 2 got underway on Cartoon Network.

You can now see it saturday mornings at 9:30 eastern time. Kinda sucks, I liked the friday primetime spot it had.

Krimzon7 04-04-2012 10:30 AM

I liked Friday primetime too, but hey it's a Saturday Morning Cartoon and it leads PERFECTLY INTO THE DC/Young Justice slots

Krimzon7 04-14-2012 03:55 PM

Also, the most recent Thundercats was boss.

Kalyx triaD 04-14-2012 04:38 PM

I need this on Netflix now.

Krimzon7 04-14-2012 05:57 PM

Hate to be an ass douche, BUT... It's worth the hunt to watch now

Kalyx triaD 04-14-2012 06:18 PM

Can't stand commercials.

Krimzon7 04-14-2012 07:48 PM

Gotcha. There's a shit ton of them on YT. Commercial free bro

Kalyx triaD 04-14-2012 09:20 PM

Very nice.

I finished the first season of transformers Prime and I gotta say, cartoons are stepping their game up. Even GI Joe Renegades (on Netflix now), is decent.

Krimzon7 04-14-2012 11:42 PM

Loved renegades, hate that it's cancelled. Cartoons are goddamn fun again!

Kalyx triaD 06-15-2012 10:14 PM

This is getting canceled. wtf

whiteyford 06-17-2012 07:58 AM

Just started getting into it too.

Krimzon7 06-17-2012 11:51 AM

yeah, saw this coming. Cartoon network had zero faith in it

ClockShot 06-17-2012 08:50 PM

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.
