First of all, you need to stop fetishising the original ThunderCats. It would also be great if you would stop implying that those who don’t share your views on the series’ are not “true/real” fans.
And for shite’s sake, stop treating the Original as though it is the Holy Word and that any changes to it should be considered heresy.
The Original series was a cartoon from the 1980’s and should be considered a product of its time. This series is a reboot of the Original and a product of this time. Changes are to be expected. Whether those changes are a good or bad thing is completely subjective.
Lets get in the weeds shall we.
1) The ORIGINAL is the Holy Word since its ...y'know.... the ORIGINAL. Whatever you think you know about t-cats---its established by the only thing that existed.
2) Im judging this crappy show by MJ own words and the episodes. JELENIC HIMSELF said he didn't understand the original. NOT a good sign for fans of the property. He likened the show as borrowing from Star wars and Superman. ( actually if he read ANYTHING from Joseph Campbell he'd understand why these archetypes work) .
If the show does, then i could think of FAR, FAR worse things to borrow from than the some of the most succesful and iconic properties IN THE WORLD.
3) I judge the show in its actions. They disrespect the show from the get go. Introducing castes that infer that t-cats are racists, tygra and Lion-o being brothers, jealousy between the two, Panthros arms being ripped off, the STUPID dare i say idiotic rebooting of the Anointment trials....the list can go on and on.
The ONLY thing the did right from the start was getting Larry Kenny back for claudus.
Y'see, The show didn't need to have elements of Racism to make it more "mature" because the T-cats ROSE ABOVE IT. They stand for something better.
Instead of the anointment trials being about Lion-o maturing and earning and growing into his mantle of Leadership[, its now just a fever dream he had close to death and it doesn't mean anything.
Tygra was not established as a sibling of Lion-os...why, because it didn't need it. No we get whiney pettiness and contrived sibling rivalry to make it more "real".
Every turn they've taken has been a misstep.
again...let the show die.
