If this Daniel Norton has any control over the story then it would explain then it would explain the horrendous inconsistencies on this show.
His excuses basically amounted to: 1) It all happened off screen 2) It occurred in the past but wasn’t shown 3) There was really no triangle anyway One of the strongest criticisms was that there was practically no worthwhile interaction between Tygra and Cheetara which could serve as a legitimate basis for her decision to choose him. He just avoids this. If I remember correctly, it is not even shown that they had previous contact until episode 12! And did he forget that the “triangle” was used to build up the advertising hype (e.g. interviews with VAs)? If having Tygra and Cheetara together is so important, at least do it believably, without ruining a huge aspect of the show. |
He's the Art Director. He has input on the stories, and is in the meetings and stuff when they come up with them so he helps bounce around ideas, but He's not the head writer.

Cheetara was harder to figure out because she spent so much time with Lion-O trying to support him in his quest to master the sword, master himself, and gather the rest of the stones, however there are small moments where one could theorize where her feelings truly lie (such as in "Berbils" where she opts to sleep next to Tygra). Yes, the did play up Lion-O/Cheetara so that when she chooses Tygra it feels like a twist, but if you pay attention and actually watch the show it's not that hard to figure out (the almost exact same thing happened in Gurren Lagann with Simon/Yoko/Kanima, this only difference is instead of Tygra it was Lion-O who dies). |

Lets say pumyra is Lion-o's LI. If she came around episode 9, IMO would be different. |
Quote:
Pumyra's character was completed long before episodes with her in them went into production, and it works better to have her introduced later after Lion-O's gone through his character development because otherwise they're way too similar to work together without feeling redundant. |
Quote:
Wouldn't mind Pumyra calling Cheetara out on it too sometime. |

We don't know when we will get the next 26 episodes. If it happens, it might be a year from now. That is my problem with this show, it is always lion-o has to so this or that. Will it ever end. |

And to all others: I really am about to quit here, since I see only people whining about this or that. You know what I do? *takes rose tinted glasses and crush it under the foot*. TC2011 brought me here to enjoy. Be grateful that you'll get to see a new TC series for a long time and that the new series wins new fans. If any of can do it better, go ahead. I wanna see that. But effing stop whining about the stories and the T/C relation inconsistencies. If you wanna please everyone, you'll please noone at the end. To be honest, TOS TC wasn't my favourite, I never liked the repetitive easy defeat of Mumm-ra and his minions, I hated OldSnarf, I hated the fact, that they rub the lessons into your face at the end of each episode and that the zeitgeist was that they think 80's kids are so dumb. I like that the characters in TC2011 aren't perfect, but they are more relatable and that not everything was hunky-dory. Fine if you got a problem with it, but don't sour the enjoyment for others. |

This is a message board or forum. If people want to whine they can. Isn't the job of the writers to make a good story? If fans complain about say a NBA or NFL team, are you going to tell them to go out there and play? They don't have the same skill level. After Steelers (fan of) won the SB, Steelers fans were finding something to complain about. It is what it is. The writers are paid to write a story, we are not. People have a right to complain. I don't think lion-o worked to win in episode 20. It was over fast IMO. |

One thing I learned in the Military, there is a lot of complaining. |
Quote:
And your right, in the NS he doesn't rely on the magic of the sword, he relies on the spirit stone and "voilá, the foes are gone". No one said they wanted the SoO to be over powered, just that they would like more involvement with it, more screen time. You can't just erase the fact that most of us grew up with the OS and see the Sword of Omens as one of the most awesome swords in all of science fiction. |

All I ever hear is complaining. They don't realize how good they got it compared to some of the people out there. But I know what you are saying. Do you follow sports??? |

Cheetara is one of the characters on this show who has gotten next to no development. First, she’s simply treated as a prize to won by Lion-O and Tygra. Then came episode 13, the 180 turn and a sudden change in personality. A few fleeting moments between Tygra and Cheetara simply does not compare to the manner in which Lion-O and Cheetara’s relationship was built up consistently until ep. 13. Quote:
Overall, romance seems to be a serious problem with this show. This latest episode was so corny, it could have been a parody. Quote:
I repeatedly bring up the triangle because it featured as a prominent part of the story and if it was done in such a shoddy manner, I don’t see the problem in asking questions. |
I do feel rewatching the orginal series that the Sword of Omens was horrible about pulling new abilities out of thin air. If I did it, I'd make sure to have an exact list of what it can do from the start. Lion-O wouldn't know all of it from the get go, but it'd be there. Granted it wasn't only the sword that was aweful about new abilites either. Look at the thunderkittens pellets. That said, they did lessen the importance of the sword a lot, when they made it all about the stones. And this new series seems a lot less action packed than the old one. Also I kinda miss how everyone lived in really cool looking castles.

I find it odd about the stolen moments when they could have just confessed and saved a lot of trouble and heartache for everyone instead of dragging it on for years.

Anyway for those who can't see the thread or don't use FB this is what he said about the triangle.
"As far as the confusion with the "love triangle"... Think of it like this, you're a young boy, a very beautiful woman is giving you what seems like every signal that she's into you.. And everything you know is wrong, mistranslated and completely illogical. You feel like Lion-O feels. I'm sorry you don't see how something as simple as a flower can mean so much to someone who is in need, but that's where Cheetarah is coming from. I can clearly remember my first crush with pure clarity. When Cheetarah joined the clerics, that may have been her only moment of childhood crush. That could be a powerful thing. And none of her moments with Lion-O are disingenuous, she did love him in her way, not the way you want her to love. She's also not an infallible character, she's torn between love and duty. She's not Jaga, but a girl who is thrust into a situation she's trained for but couldn't imagine." |

Lion O gave his soul to save them when they were stuck in Mumm-Ra's base. um... who gave more? |

I remember Cheetara saying the flower was rare...but we see Tygra pick it out of a garden of them...but if they're so rare, why were they seen as plentiful in the garden?

It was the Stone's choice, not Jaga's. The Stone was deciding if Lion-o would live or not.

If she hadn't joined the Clerics, I think she would've ended up out on the slums like Wilykit and 'kat. Maybe it's no wonder she looks like she needs a sandwich. |
Ok you guys, let's not be gross. Cheetara can pick who ever she pleases (assuming they want her ) It doesnt matter who did what for her, it's her own personal choice. No, I'm not trying to get down on those who hate how the triangle was presented. It's the implication that she should pick who ever does the most for her. That Lion-O should have been chosen because he's done more for her ( BTW, what has he done for her, that he hasnt done for the whole group? In the end it doesnt matter, but I would love to know what you all are talking about.) She can pick who she wants, for whatever reasons she wants. Lion-O could die seven times over for her, but if she doesnt feel that way about him, then she shouldnt be forced or feel obligated to date him.
It's not about whose done more. It's about Cheetara making a choice. She's a woman. Not a certificate of completion. |

Have we got any confirmation that he did'nt know what kind of flower he gave her? Even so, nothings wrong with getting lucky every now and then;) |

Batman has partners and proteges, but they never take the fact that the shows are his away from him, at leas not for more than an episode or two. And that is what we have here. I myself like Nightwing better than Batman, but I accept that Nightwing will always be second-best and not as important as the Batman. Except for that time where he was batman, but that doesn't really count. |

The way they've done it here, it's basically no different than any other magic sword in any other series. Quote:
And you're right, you can't please everyone. But too many people use that as an excuse to say things can't be better. Guess what? Things CAN be better. There are shows out there that please far more people than Thundercats does. I'm not planning to drop the show, but people do have legitimate complaints. And message boards are designed for people to air their legitimate complaints. |

I feel they make lion-o weak in this show. |
