Curse of Ratilla Preview Clips and Pics

First one in, Ratar-O looks good. Another Cheetara and Tygra moment.

Is that a young Jaga wielding the Sword of Omens? Something tells me this episode is gonna be awesome...

If thats young jaga I wonder if he caused the destruction of the cats planet like in the OS. Wonder if rataro has those sai things

Interesting. Can't wait to see this!

I wonder how a young Jaga fits into this story. Ratar-O called Ratilla his ancestor, not grandfather or great grandfather, so I wouldn't expect Jaga to be born yet when he found the Sword of Plundarr.

You can see him holding one of them in the preview pics. :)

ratilla is rat

Nothing gets past you.

Maybe Jaga took the sword from them.

Looks like pumyra gets them captured.

Good point. He said the Cats took it away, but he never said when.

I hope it's not Lion-O, that would just be a step backwards and disappointing considering the progress he's made lately.

Look at that pic where lion-o is trying to calm her down. Just looking at the pic, it looks like she blew their cover.

I can't comment on lion-o's progression, I don't understand the writers.

Knowing what we do know about Pumyra (which, admittedly, isn't a whole lot) it could be any number of things that set her off. Maybe someone bad-mouths Lion-O and she throws a hissy fit (lol) at them.

Or maybe someone just got on her nerves. Maybe someone said something stupid, and she was just like, "Really bro? That's how you feel?"

Maybe she's getting really hot, and Lion-O is just like "..no babe. No, it's not worth it! LET'S GO BABE. WHY DO YOU ALWAYS DO THIS? THIS IS WHY WE CAN NEVER GO OUT!"

Meanwhile, Pumyra is still yelling profanities and hissing.

It could happen. Just sayin'.
All jokes aside, I think Pumyra might have a temper problem. That, or it's the environment.

Such an expressive gaze.

Lion-O: "Seriously, you're kinda hot when you're angry, but this totally isn't the time. Trust me, later on we'll get some candles and some wine and some heavy furniture and do it up right, but we kind of have this thing right now."

I want to know what he's saying to her! TyChee, keep giving me feels. I need them like a burning.

It looks like he's comforting her about something. It would be nice to see someone comfort Cheetara for a change.

I feel a cheesy, squealworthy, romantic moment coming on ;)

don't forget about the marvin gaye, and the silk pajama bottoms !

Cheetara: Tygra, I'm in heat.
Tygra: :eek:
Lion-O: I call dibs.
Panthro: No way, kitty kat. She needs a real panther.
Lion-O: Don't call me, kitty kat.
Pumyra: Will you *bleep*-os shut up!!
Lion-O: Whiskers! Our cover has been blown. Thank's a lot Pumyra.
Group: Thanks Pumyra.
Pumyra: You all can go lick yourselves!! I'm out out of this pride parade.

It might be young Jaga vs. Ratilla in the flashbacks.

It looks like Pumyra is going to be a handful as she may not be a team player. The twins are definitely not with them as they have their own problems.

I hope there are feelings between Lion-O and Pumyra in this one.

Lion-O gets the bottoms, Pumyra gets the top. Hey, this is war, we have to share.

Well, there is that whole "Curse" thing, maybe they think they're about to die.

That's not what those eyes say but for the sake of argument, if that had been the message, his hand wouldn't have been cupping her cheek.

That's what I was thinking too. I see pieces of rocks falling, maybe the "cave" is collapsing?

Cheetara: Tygra, I'm pregnant.
Tygra: :eek:
Lion-O: When did you two find the time?
Panthro: Tell me it wasn't in the Thundertank.
Pumrya" Am I missing something?

Is it just me or is Ratar-O huge?

Pumyra: "HE IS NOT MY BOYFRIEND!!" :mad:
Lion-O: "One: That's hurtful. Two: Really not the time."

It has to be this.

I think it's more likely she flies into a rage after either seeing a slave mistreated or when she sees one of the rats.



Ratar-O said Ratilla was his ancestor. Jaga's old, but he's not that old.

Or upon seeing Pumyra in the company of Lion-O and the other cats the slaves start to snub her too, accusing her of abandoning them as soon as she got the opportunity.

Pumrya: What do you mean least seen Thundercat in the original series!
Lion-O: But at least your in before Bengali this time!

This is fun.

Pumyra: WHO ARE YOU CALLING "TEMPERAMENTAL"!?
Lion-O: No one. You're a delicate flower, okay?

Mayhaps Pumyra was looking for someone she had been separated from and was told that someone is no longer there?

I totally destroyed the happy/amusing trail of thought there...

Pumyra: Well Terry, when are you going to change into Batman.
Lion-O: Who the heck is Terry and what is a Batman?

Pumyra: "Let go of my purse! I don't know you!"
Lion-O: "Dangit Pamula, for the last time, you're not Bobby Hill anymore!"

Pumrya: What do you mean you prefer Lion-O/Cheetara?!
Lion-O: Let's let Tygra and Cheetara handle this one.

Can someone do me a favor? Since I don't have cable, please fill me in on what's actually going on in these scenes when the episode airs.

I think you will get a bunch of reviews when it is over.

I liked how Mt. Plunn-dar had that dragon skeleton wrapped around it. Reminded me of the old Castle Plunn-dar.

And yup Pumyra is definitely flirting this time. But she's a total hot head.

And just how old is Jaga? Seriously. If Ratilla was Ratar-O's ancestor that implies it was at least a few generations back.

Anyway LOVED this episode. It really had an OS feel to me with Ratar-O and the Rat's Eyes (which btw might be powerful, but has a really long charge time). The only thing is that it felt like the beginning of a two part episode (which I'm ok with).

As a L/C fan, I don't know how more to say T/C is offical in this episode.

I am sorry no man is going after a girl that keeps hitting him.

Really fast episode. Jaga was the strongest cat in thunderia.

I think I would've be ok if pumyra was with the group from the begining (quad).

Lion-o's and Ratar-O fight was to quick.

I guess Jaga's magic must have kept him alive a really long time.

I think right now Pumyra is a little too hot headed for Lion-O. Maybe if he calms her down a bit. She obviously likes him though.

Speak for yourself, a lot o guys are into that. It's why the Tsundere trope is so popular.

Or the power of the Sword of Plundarr kept Ratilla alive for a really long time, like Gollum

...it's actually a big, very popular romantic trope....

And that is why Sakura is one of the most hated characters in Naruto.

If this was not a serious anime, I could see that. That is one thing lion-o doesn't need.

this episodes i must say, is one of my favorites. this episode was so well written and the pacing was just right and also the writers seem to have made the most out of just 20 mins. the fight scene with liono and ratar-o was friggin awesome and judging from the ending of this episode, the next one is sure to be EPIC.

In a non-serious anime.

Give you example of a serious anime, Evangelion. Rei the popular one not Asuka.

I think Sakura is a bad example. She only hits Naruto when he's being an idiot, and she's never hit the guy she actually likes (Sasuke). And I'd argue that Naruto is just as "serious" as Thundercats.

Jaga is amazing.
