I was disappointed to see Lyno-x so early in the series.

I am looking forward to seeing how Panthro will emerge and I wonder if he will come in with the Thundertank or if that will be later on.

'ThunderCats' reboot: A dissection of Cartoon Network

I prefer this version of Snarf.

Anyone else?

ryan O 07-29-2011 08:51 PM

I really thought we were gonna get to see Mumm Ra transform! that would have been crazy to see him and Claudius fight.

I'm tellin ya bro...I love this stuff! :).

I love how lion o is wanting to help the lizards. I always thought Thats what made thundercats better than he man, at least for me. Don't get me wrong huge he man fan too but in he man the main story was protecting the power and then helping...thundercats lion o had the power and his first instinct was always to protect the less powerful. Just me...no offense. Just saying they really did lion o justice! Well done!

I thought that was him, but wasn't entirely sure. Would be nice if he showed-up again later on.

Only thing that even came close to a disappointment, was Claudus's death. I was hoping they would blurr that bit a bit so he could maybe come back somehow later on (maybe blind him like in the original). I would say Jaga is dead too, but he could have survived that, or he could pull a Kenobi and ghost his way through the rest of the series. Will just have to wait and see. Who knows, maybe Claudus will be this show's equivalent of Jaga, lol.

Thundara 07-29-2011 08:54 PM

Yay we two paged in under an hour!!!! I'm glad this sites traffic seems to be picking up with the show:) I said show so it's on topic. Haha

The new snarf is cute, but you get a strong sense of the Japanese influence in his character now. Im betting the only reason he doesnt still spam his name is because he would essentially be a Pokemon these days. They had to differentiate him for the new generation of kids watching these days.

Although i have to say the dark fantastical overtones might be to much for kids today

I hope they at least do flashbacks with Claudius if not the og jaga treatment...I think Larry deserves that.

Iwas thinking maybe the book of omens would hold the spirits of all past kings. That would be awesome if they guided Lion O.

That would be sweet....in the og didn't the book help them find the relics that eventually recreated and rebuilt thundera? Dunno how they r gonna do it but based on what I just saw it's gonna be awesome!

Lord Lion O 07-29-2011 09:15 PM

I thought them not trying to re-invent an opening theme song and replacing it with a very epic sounding monologue was pure genius.

Joe Moore 07-29-2011 09:16 PM

Really still can't believe how high quality this was. I just hope every episode keeps up the animation and story quality. I'm sure there will be fillers here and there, but as long as they are close to this, I'll be happy.

Lord Lion O 07-29-2011 09:19 PM

Thought the score throughout was also stellar! Very movie like

Lord Lion O 07-29-2011 09:20 PM

The growls were also awesome
Ok I will shut up now

I'm there too. I can't believe the quality! Now I have to pray CN keeps it in a steady timeslot, they're famous for moving crap around and losing it's audience :cough Transformers Animated cough:

Lord Lion O 07-29-2011 09:25 PM

No code of thundera....wonder if they will touch that or if lion o himself will institute that.

The growls were definitely awesome.

Kinda off-topic, but I tried out the popcorn recipe from the party pack. Not bad, but I'll definitely be changing it up the next time I go to make it. Ended-up way too soggy. Halving the amount of the butter/sugar/cinnamon mixture would definitely help, imo.

Sweet! We did the popcorn too! I agree with you.

Wow. One of my favorites as a kid I forced my kids to watch this. They complained at first and then thought it was a good show. Great to me however. Right up there with Prime. Gonna love watching this playout.

Thundara 07-29-2011 09:47 PM

14 minutes till West side catches up. I'll watch it with y'all.

I am interested in how kids take to this. I think they nailed it with adults, via nostalgia and more adult tone, but still not sure if the kids will take to it. Has potential, but could go either way.

I had steak and spinach with goat cheese. I don't think that's gonna be in a party pack anytime soon :).

You guys think it's darker than clone wars? I think bout the same. I think it will do well

Thundara 07-29-2011 10:28 PM

Are all the clerics cheetah's or are they blazing fast cuz they're clerics? Just wondering,sorry if that's stupid.

I assumed speed=cleric and not cleric=cheetah.

Lord Lion O 07-29-2011 10:31 PM

I think it was because they were clerics....that's what I got from it. I think if it was because they were cheetahs they wouldn't have been surprised that cheetara was a cleric...just a thought

It depends on the kid. I think that they'll like it. If they're into that sort of thing in the first place, they'll love it.

Oh okay that makes sense. Also Lord Lion O, that is a good point. So the cheetah race is fast just not THAT fast.

Thundercats Premiere Screen Caps

70 screen caps from the episodes.

Thundara 07-29-2011 11:23 PM

Anyone else think the city Wily Kit & Kat are looking for is also the resting place of the book of omens? The picture in their room kinda looks like the Tower of Omens, I can't remember the cities name El something.......Lord Lion O that's your que. Haha

coolness99amy 07-29-2011 11:25 PM

Are they gonna re-air tonight's episode for those people who forgot to DVR it? :p Checked listings but didn't see anything scheduled but figured i'd ask :)

that's my guess too.

Spoilers below!







*spoilers!*
it does make me wonder just how many thundercats survived though.

obviously they had a huge kingdom, and i doubt everyone in the kingdom was in that shelter.

YOU HAVE DONE IT AND EXCEDED THE QUALITY OF THE ORIGINAL MATERIAL!!!

http://www.gifbin.com/bin/1233928590...20clapping.gif http://www.gifbin.com/bin/1233928590...20clapping.gif http://www.gifbin.com/bin/1233928590...20clapping.gif

I am humbled. Because so many producers of late had been given the opertunity to play with great franchises and have turned them into utter drek. I thought it was no longer possible. You have proven me wrong, nay sir RESTORED MY HOPE!

Long live the THUNDERCATS! ('11)

[spoiler]looking forward to how the various races will interact over the course of the series. Not all cats are noble, and not all mutants are evil.[/spoiler]

Seconded. They've taken the best parts of the original and told a great new story with it. And I especially agree with your sentiment that they took old catch phrases and such and put them in here without being corny or self deprecating about it. ThunderCats '11 is how you do a reboot. :)

ArchangelX 07-29-2011 11:59 PM

I just joined because I needed a place to discuss this wonderful reboot. I was (still am) a huge Thundercats fan growing up...I remember going to school in my Thundercats pajamas because I loved them so much. It was a great show.

This new re-boot is the first time I've ever seen any animated show done right without a hint of remorse from me. They gave us a great send-off giving Larry Kenny one more last "Ho", and they made Panthro an extremely flawed character right off the bat by giving him the connection with Lion-o's father's death. How that blends into the story is going to be epic I feel.

All of the characters feel real, and even more likeable...Cheetara is hot, too, hahah.

Art was awesome, only thing it's missing is it's theme music, to be honest. Snarf was so much better this time around, less annoying. Mumm-Ra...holy crap, they got him spot on.

And I personally love the fact that we didn't get to see his big transformation so early in the series. That was a powerful moment, I think...and I think they got it spot on, too.

All in all, I am extremely excited for this new series. They paid homage to the original while creating a whole new legend to love. Can't wait for the next episode!

Smasher 07-29-2011 11:59 PM

I am honestly blown away. I don't believe how true they stayed to the source material while at the same time being completely different.

The voice acting, the sound, the animation and the story were all top of their class.

I don't prefer it -at least not yet. But I don't mind this version at all.

I think so. Cartoon Network normally reairs their shows to death.

Shifty02 07-30-2011 12:12 AM

Ancient spirits of evil...transform this decayed form...into Mumm-Ra...the ever...LIVING!!

I thought it was fantastic! Even though I thought the plot was pretty predictable, I enjoyed immensely.

The only thing I didn't like was Mumm-Ra's voice. It just didn't evil enough to me. Then again I've spent the past 2 days watching the first season.

Considering it was almost immediately revealed to really be Mumm-Ra, I don't foresee any of them holding it against the real Panthro when he shows up. I imagine they might be a bit cautious when the first run into him, but that's the most I see coming from that.

Didn't mention it earlier, but I have to admit, I REALLY like this new take on Snarf. He's no-longer an annoyance, yet he's still an outlet for some comedy. Him making faces in the rock that Grune brought was hilarious, and will make for a great background. I really hope he gets released outside of the Thundertank, and a plush version would be great too. It would indeed be epic if someone could figure out how to genetically engineer a breed of Snarf cats (and I'm not even a cat person, lol).
