Odd that the cats in the old era just so happened to look like Tygra and Lion O. And the Tygra guy was called Tygris. What a co-inky-dink. All of that has comic mini-series written all over it. Or, after this series has it's run, pull a Clone Wars and just tell an old story in real time, even tho you know what comes later. Thundercats Episode 1 The Old Republic.

This may relate to the line Claudus had said in the pilot that the bloodline must remain pure. Which is why Lion-O, the younger brother is king, inspite of Tygra who is adopted being older.

All around, the usage, interwoven character dynamics, and coherent history are really working for this show. It shows a lot of depth and forethought was put into all of this. I have a feeling they have much planned that may mirror the original in many regards such as other space faring races coming in, the other survivors, a new thundera kingdom, and even the return of Mummra once thought defeated. The later seasons of original thundercats and all these easter eggs make me think they have an overall plan that stays true to the original, yet also goes in new more coherent directions in this vast fantasy world filled with technology.

I don't remember them having one in the original animated series, i never read the comic so I dont know if it stemmed from there.

It was only alluded to in the original. They never outright said it, but yes there were many undertones suggesting it throughout the seasons of the original.
