1) Lion-O is shadow of the Original.
No longer is he a kid that inhabits the body of a man and has to grow into the mantle of leader. He s now a self absorbed loser who's always angsty. Yeah..hes so much better now.
2) The Thundercats don't rise above problems...they wallow in them . The original rose above their problems, They had a code. They acted with honor as response to bad situations. NOW, they have established they have elements of racism in their faction,...does introducing racism make it better? Wallowing in a social problem make it better?
Tygra and Lion-0 are jealous and petty. This is partially because they bent the show on its ear by making them brothers . It never was in te original and it doesn't make them better for it as they are always worse for it.

3) Ramped up violence. How is the show better by showing panthro s arms getting ripped off?
Normally , I don't mind the action and violence to get a little intense. Its one thing i agree would ramp up just a hair....but How is that improving Panthro as a character.....as with most things with this show...change for change sake.

4) Character change for now reason....Panthros goofy anime arms that change shape and length indiscriminately , Lion-O and Tygra brothers , the Tygra, Cheetara love triangle ( and Cheetars comes off bad as she chooses Tygra but leads Lion-o on.).. and Pumyra....why? Almost none of these are justified or well done...save Snarf....the less heard the better. Panthro..as stated before, by others here, is not a strong , rough housing martial artist and uses nunchakus,....the only thing he really has in common is they're mechanics.

5)The Anointment Trials....one of the more important elements from the show..the Trials were meant to test Lion-O so he ascends to leader. In the original...it was a big deal. Now...its a fever dream Lion-o had while close to death. it had no weight...NONE.

6) Jaga----wheres does he play any role. Granted, I can understand reducing his use a bit because he became a bit of a deux ex machina in the original, but he no longer helps guide Lion-o to any real effect.

7) the Origin.....sorry , but the original DESTROYS the new show on this. It better, more interesting. I'd need another page to elaborate on how this is MUCH better. Exodus was just great tv. ( except for snarf)

8) the Sword of Omens vs Book of Omens, the Jems..and what exactly.
While Original never quite explained the importance or both the sword of omens and the eye of thunderas power..this show does even more of the same..why, exactly does the Book of Omens matter, whats with all the "eye" of gems?....all this does is water down the importance of the the Sword of omens.


9) " its not like the original ..its a reboot, no its a reimagining..no its better than the original"

UM ...so...which is it? and AGAIN, How arrogant is that people thats supposedly LOVED the original growing up, have to so radically change whats great about the show?

yeah...no one ever actually answers that with any clarity.



The show is junk and should die. I haven't seen anyone explain why the show needed all these radical changes and why it supposed is deeper. Just because you throw in a bunch of negative elements doesn't make for a more "mature" show...just a lousy one.

It's a good thing they didn't have the internet as we know it now when shows like ST:TNG premiered. The bloodbath between TOS and TNG'ers would have been horrific!
