In all honesty I don't need that huge amount of character depth here. Its a cartoon after all. It should be fun, not trying to be realistic or super high in intellect. Its "fantasy". People want everything to be so realistic now a days that it takes away from the creativity of it all. That's one of the reasons why I love the OS so much. Some of the stuff on there is so off the wall but that's what I want from a "fantasy". To be able to let go of reality and immerse myself in a world where all those things are possible, like cyborg ewoks who eat candy fruit.

Edit: I just wanted to add that there ARE animated series I go to for intellectual stimulation. Anime's like Darker then Black and Ghost in the Shell. Hell even Gundam Wing had a lot of political over tones. But I see Thundercats and cartoons like it on a different level. I go to one for some things and to the other for other things. Two different experiences. If that makes sense.

I do not like alot of holes in stories and there are many.

Seeing how the seasons (episode 13 and 26) ended and lion-o dying is not fun to me.

There are more females that watch anime and cartoons today, It would be nice to have fleshed out cheetara. Cheetara in the OS was a lot better than this one. Instead of having lion-o share the spot light with tygra, why couldn't it be cheetara instead of another male.
