That is what happens in love triangles, two females fighting over a guy. Wasn't there a show called Tenchi in the 90s that did this. |

I have seen these types of stories unfold in more adult orientated Anime's and it can work if done in good taste, but it just doesn't seem to fit in with the Thundercats. Honestly, moving the NS to Sat mornings was the best thing they could have done however they need to think about the age group they are targeting here, and if that age group is truly going to tune in to Thundercats to find out what guy gets the girl, or for the fantasy / adventure and some of the coolest characters ever created.

I think that bringing in the new thundercats helps it lose it's basically power rangers group nature and get a bit more of a fantasy feel with a slightly more random group. Sadly, I have a sneaking suspicion you are right. |

Also, I always liked Harry's interactions with Hermione more than his with Ron and wish they would have gotten together, but I wasn't very invested in any of the romances in that series, so I didn't really care either way. |

From one of my researches back then, Jelenic did say the focus will be on Lion-O, Tygra, Cheetara, Panthro, WilyKit and WilyKat, Snarf, Mumm-Ra. So not a high chance Pumyra will join the group permanently, I think.
Geektress ThunderCats 2011 What was the creative process like for ThunderCats? ThunderCats has got like, 150 episodes. It's impossible to watch every -- well, it's not impossible, but I would have to devote like a year of my life to watching every single episode. You try to find the iconic episodes, the fan's favorite episodes, and watch those. I'm all about the iconic stuff. So the secondary characters won't make it in to an episode right off the bat, I want to focus on Lion-O, Tygra, Cheetara, Panthro, WilyKit and WilyKat, Snarf, Mumm-Ra. Once we build that world with those characters, then that's when we can go back and look at whether it's time to put in Lynx-O or Pumyra -- some of those more obscure characters. The best thing I find for understanding what clicks about a character is usually going to the fan boards and seeing them argue over characters. People go crazy over that stuff. That's where I usually see what the hardcore fanbase is into. Sometimes I check the fan pages a little too late for my own good, and find out "OH! I shouldn't have done that." _______________ Jelenic and crew will be forever be remembered as the man and crew that tainted the TCATS brand. Hopefully J.M. DeMatteis will remove some of the taint. |

New fans who will hopefully be drawn in by the product itself, and original fans who will hopefully come back for nostalgia. I would argue vehemently the triangle is for the second. I can't imagine my 8 year old nephew being particularly interested in who Cheetara shacks up with. This is why I believe these 80s revivals haven't been resounding successes, I think their fanbase is too segregated. Something like The Last Airbender didn't have to worry about appeasing two very separate groups of fans, they just made a general kind of show and lucked out appealing to everyone. |

We still have a lot to learn about the rest of the cast and we need to know more about the past. |

Bare minimum I would like Pumyra for the simple fact that it splits the 'femaleness' up so that you don't have to have Cheetara be 'team girl' in every single plot. And the others would be nice simply because they don't fit so easily into the 'five man band' stereotypes from tvtropes |

Really? He was doing just fine with a spirit stone and the sword of omens. :D The good news is though is that the original show had many McGuffins they could give Mummra to even the playing field (IE more spirit stones or the treasures of Thundera) My concern with adding Pumyra to the main cast would be.....why? With only the generals and a few remaining lizard soldiers on his side, it shouldn't take more than the Thundercat Rangers to defeat him. :cool: |
Quote:
Or do we want the villain to be more powerful than he's ever been, and the heroes to need all of their power, and all of their allies, and possibly even more to defeat him? Also, I'd like to imagine the show can pull out some new villains (those moon people, don't remember their name) or some kind of twist and continue. I hope it doesn't end that soon. Depends on its success though. |

I swear they took Cheetara's wrist and ankle weights inspiration off of Rei from Breath of Fire. http://funkyimg.com/t2/1556/428/220745Rei.jpg |

I love Breath of Fire though, and support anything that takes inspiration from it. |

I was not very impressed with this episode at all. To be honest I was pretty disappointed. It's like this episode was thrown together. Also why is Mumm-Ra such a loser now? I'd say the writers need to let the villains develop as much as Lion-O does because I'm not sure I can take seeing the Thundercats get cheap wins so easily.
