Thundercats 2011 Oficially dead as per Dan Norton 3/2/13
|
Expected, but it still hurts.
|
That's what happens when you let amateurs run the show
|
As if we needed more proof of it's demise thrown at us...:(

No more guessing or hoping. It's over. Time to officially move on. |

Our only hope is that WB either takes another shot at a reboot, or they sell it to someone who will. With the success of the new TMNT show, I'm kinda hoping they sell the brand to Nick. |

I was almost ready to start buying into the hype lately of how well it was doing in it's late night time slot. Foolish, I know. I absolutely love the new TMNT show by the way. |
Depending on how much money WB, CN, and Bandai lose could determine if we see Tcat anytime soon.
IMO, I think WB will wait. Can't wait to see fan reactions when they start releasing info on what would've happen in the second season. |

It's kind of like that awesome triple-changer Megatron they had in the works for Animated's toy-line. It looks really awesome, but I'm never going to own one, so I wish I never knew of it's existence at all... |
I'm thrilled that they are gonna spill the beans on what would have been. I'd rather know even if I can't see it.
If you don't want to know, don't read it or watch the upcoming video Dan says he'll do when the time is right. Simple as that. I'm glad that DN will be doing this for some sense of closure. |

I know DN brought that up before. He said he would ask. |

I will say this, one fan base won't be happy.:eek: |
Can't say I'm surprised. The show went into an extensive hiatus before Christmas 2011, the toyline dried up, and we didn't get any news about TCats anything throughout most of 2012. The chances of the show continuing were slim to none.

Daniel Norton Um... I don't believe there will be anymore ThunderCats unless there is a massive demand outside of the United States. I'll be happy to reveal all in time about the story we'd worked out. But since you're not the only person to be curious. I'll probably do it in a public event so it can be recorded and everyone can hear. That way I don't have to type it out to everyone ! |
Meh. shit happens.
At least I got a nice beautiful 6 inch Cheetara out of it. At the very least, maybe IDW could grab the rights to it and produce comics for that continuity. :) |

Legends of Chima Videos | Watch Clips from the Sneak Peek | Cartoon Network The main guy practically looks like a LEGO figure of Lion-O. I think he meant that the show/characters are too close to ThunderCats for them to pursue both. It's a bit redundant on their show lineup. LEGO is a better-selling brand right now. They moved their team from ThunderCats to Chima. They can't do both. |
And again, his show being cancelled had nothing to do with Chima.

Its official this news made all the snarfs cry :D. An anime mini series of thundercats (like xmen and wolverine mini series) is on my wish list

I find it funny that both my wife and I thought Chima was a Thundercats knock off when we first saw it ...and that was even before seeing any this BS from these guys.
|
Be thankful they're not letting Thundercats drag on forever like a tired sick dog like they are with GI Joe. GI Joe sucks now & they really need to put that shit to rest once & for all.
|
In a way I'm relieved, especially with the way it's written. Only the art and animation was good, everything else wasn't.
|
I've seen too many series that I love get canned prematurely, however I have one complaint against how WB handles their franchises, like Young Justice, the thundercats had a wide open ending, which leaves you hanging. No closure, the finale is great with action packed scenes and epic fight scenes, but you should never abruptly end a good climax without a proper closure. Yes it does leave room if they want to continue the series but they should've at least gave it a great exit with no expectations.
|
That Chima stunt...how is that not a lawsuit waiting to happen?! The main character looks just like Lion-O! I honestly don't see the appeal. T-Cats was way cooler.
|
Whatever happens in the future, I just hope they get someone else to make the toys than Bandai. Poor toy sales, not ratings, is what killed this show. Same exact thing happened to the 2002 He-Man.
|
For the most part, I thought it was good. I think that a great story that appeals to kids is what sells toys. The storyline was too adult; dumb it down for the kids and make the toys more fun. It's a winning formula - look at TMNT.
