Well let's put it this way, if the show is indeed cancelled, I won't even bother watching the rest of season 2 because there is no point.

Stop with all the negative speculation and please, just let it all play out. It's a fantastic reboot... much better than MOTU 200X. It's not going to just disappear. Too much money is invested in this. Just have a little patience and let season 2 kick off. I think once Bandai announces a wave 3 everyone will relax a bit. I do agree, that Bandai's next wave must make everyone drool though!

@ CreepySariFan
I agree. I think this article is simply someone trying to kick up a fuss on the forum here. It had been LONG confirmed that Thundercats is signed for 52 episodes. It has been LONG confirmed that they (to an extent) "rushed" the first season, and it has been LONG confirmed that Thundercats is doing just fine in ratings and popularity. Suddenly, just because there is NO mention of ANYTHING on some obscure article, the poster of this thread is making mountains of Mole (master) Hills. With regards to the episodes in Ireland, I'll have to go back and find the article, but there was a RUMOR of some licencing issues with regards to airing the show in North America. Cartoon Network is also currently expanding. It was announced is Feb. that CN will be coming to Canada this year - So they MAY be waiting for that expansion before they start to really push Thundercats. The toys: Bandai made it clear that Thundercats was their new life-line with regards to male oriented toys. I highly doubt that they have simply given up. Let's try to remember that so far there are only 14 episodes, they have as many toys out as they have characters. Let’s see what happens with Pumyra, and (crossed fingers) BENGALI!!!!!! Perhaps we should all simply show our support for the show, instead of nay-saying and complaining. i love the show i don't want to see it end. also you can show support for a program but at the same time be concerned over it's fate so i'll be watching till the end whenever that may be. |

On a totally unrelated note, I was at my local Toys R Us tonight and the bulk of the toy line was red-tagged as clearance. The slashed prices are also reflected on toysrus.com. Make of that what you will.

This happens in Japan all the time. Now their fans are hardcore, they buy everything. Plus manga and animators listen to their fans and don't pi$$ them off. Fans are money. TCats should have invested in toys and DVD sales. |

I'm not going to assume it's cancelled quite yet, I could swear they was news last year about it being 52 episodes? Maybe it's being moved, maybe CN just doesn't want to promote it right now for whatever reason. I'll just wait and see how it plays out before getting upset.

Oh, and not to be a grammar nazi, but I think you meant "tweeting"... This is what Dan has said word for word on FB. "If everyone is reaaaallly worried about it, stand up and shout. Let your voices be heard. Help get the word out. It's not over till Mumm-Ra wins! Keep your chin up and enjoy the show!!" |

Although I do admit it makes me a little concerned when the creators say things like that.

Personally I think it means that nothing is concrete yet. Like decisions are still being made.

No problem. I've got a couple of friends that I'll be able to convince to do the same, and there's bound to be at least one more way I can too. Quote:

I agree that based on what the creators have said, our concerns about the show being dropped seem "valid".
This wouldn't be the first time a show is cancelled with new episodes currently in production. Some shows have gone off the air only to be later released on DVD with the additional new episodes included that were never shown on network television. IMHO they need to (and looking at Aprils episode lists it looks like they are going there) back in the direction of using episodes to explore the Thundercats new world and introducing them (and us) to new and exciting characters. I think this is what made the OS so great and one of the reasons why two of the most talked about episodes from the NS are "Song of the Petalers" and "The Deulist and the Drifter". |

Spectacular Spider-Man anyone? They were in the process of working on Season 2 when Sony canned the show.

I guess like Samurai Jack, Symbyotic Titan, Spectacular Spider-Man etc, Thundercats is going to end well before its time.

Although I certainly do not believe that a lack of information means there is valid evidence to say the show is cancelled, I have still emails CN and made my thoughts politely known. Anyone else?

Dan Norton is an Art Director. Not a CN Executive. He may very well not actually be allowed to make the sort of public statements that could say whether a show has been cancelled of not. I would say, based on his comments that either... A) He doesn't have any official word yet, and therefore says to support the show anyway. B) CN wants a new direction and there is some debate about where to go with this new show, for more toys, merch, etc... We can all either, sit here and worry or we can show CN that ThunderCats Fans are wide diverse brotherhood/Family and that cancelling our show will FLOOD them with angry emails!!! GET EMAILING CN GUYS AND GIRLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
