You compare apples to oranges and expect to get strawberries Balgus.

Not to mention, the stakes were a lot higher for lion-o. He fails they die. If cheetara fails, she doesn't become a cleric.

I wasnt really trying to make a case for how is was written, nor was I trying to give my personal opionion on how it was written/fits into this story. Just that "Lion-O did more, and so he deserves her" is gross. Basing an arguement around, .."but he did more" is imo, silly.
If she chose Lion-O over Tygra, then complaints like "...but Tygra helped her into the clericy, she should have chosen him" would be just as disturbing 0.o

Did it fail???? I can only recall one conversation between Pumyra and Cheetara, and that was at the begininng of COR. Are you talking about the OS? The Smurfette Principle seems to be a shoe in

Wait, posts along the lines of: ""Lion-O did more" are silly, degrading and archaic" but posts like "Lion-O got the Sword and Crown so tygra should get Cheetara" aren't? And I've seen plenty of posts along the lines of "Lion-O got the Sword and Crown so Tygra should get Cheetara beacuse that's fair" from you and others who ship Tygra so why the double standard?

If she knew what was going on why did she even choose either of them? Neither of them treated her right.

And it's the Bechdel test, BTW.

The Smurfette Principle; a female character strictly for demographic appeal but make no real attempt to treat her as an interesting character in her own right, outside of her relationships with the male characters. Which is sadly all i've seen of Cheetara so far.

The answer is simple. Plot hole.

Or as DN likes to spew as an excuse "unused plot device"

And secondly, in a 'these characters are real' sense, Lion-o is a KING (in the absolute monarch/divine right to rule sense of the word). This is something that modern social theories, especially ones about equality, can't really take into account. His world, and his people, are about him basically. He has no equal. Barring political changes that a kid's cartoon is unlikely to cover, they CANNOT be his equal. Their relationship, like every other relationship Lion-o will ever have, will always be defined by his position and his authority.

Brilliant reply KaleRylan!

Ehhh, can't agree with that. Too much potential for the writers to make the show even more like that garbage WS/DC ceries released.

And they are doing enough of that already.

Tygra's gift helped nourish her during her stint on the steps. We don't know what Jaga would have done, but we do know she was out there for a long time without any food or water.
Tygra giving her a flower is not what makes this Cheetara's defining moment. The audience get's to see that she will do anything to make her dreams of becoming a Cleric a reality.

That said, I don't nessecarily thing Tygra is over the whole triangle thing, as he gives his brother a little stink-eye as he walks away. It'll be interesting to see what happens if Lion-O and Pumyra do form a close relationship.

Remember, according to Daniel Norton, there never really was a love triangle, it was all just misleading the viewers.

No he said the audience was mislead.

A triangle is when two people like one person and you don't know who she'll chose between them. It does NOT mean she's in love with both people. That's just ridiculous.

Yes he is a King, but the way the relationship is presented on the show does not have to depict complete and total dominant/submissive. That's why I think I'll be a bit more open to a relationship between L/P . Crush or not, I don't think I'll have to see her just turn her head down if Lion-O does something wrong. I understand he is the ruler, but I just don't want to see it portrayed that way. It wont be any fun for ME. I personally wont like it. The writers can depict their realtionships how ever they please, but that doesnt mean I will like it

We've seen Lion-O in a supportive role before. Why cant we see him do that in a romantic relationship as well? It would be a nice insight to his character.

Considering the show is supposedly from Lion-O's perspective, it makes perfect sense concerning the interactions.

The way it's presented on the show is Lion-O is king, he makes a decision and everyone complains, inults, and questions him.
The reason we haven't seen any insight into lion-O's character in that way is because the writers want to keep him second to Tygra in all things except the crown and sword.

I agree kind of about Tygra. I think he's gonna have to go through a second phase of understanding about his brother. His first phase was dealing with the stuff that couldn't be helped; blood, sword, crown, etc. But he dealt with that partially by assuring himself that he WAS the better man, even if he couldn't have the crown.

That's going to change when Lion-o actually matures into a confident, powerful warrior and king, and a good man. Tygra is going to have to come to terms with the fact that he's not just a better man than his brother. He's going to need to find something that defines him instead of rating himself by Lion-o. That will be the second phase.

And I think it's only after that that we'll see them actually have a good relationship.

99% agreed. I thought the episode could have been much better.

See, that's the thing. Thundercats is a kid's cartoon. It's not perfect, but it's much better fleshed out than the toy commercial that was the original series. For the most part, it's fun to watch. If anything upsets me, I just give it the benefit of the doubt, or write it off.

I am going to get in trouble here for saying it, but most of the people are middle aged. I am by far the youngest in my office.

The difference is they complain 9 hours a day. At least this is in a forum. I am sure if they watched cartons, they will complain. So people will never be happy.

I don't post on any other anime/cartoon forums. I grew up with TCats, so it kind of a childhood memory for me.

Other animes, I don't care about the ships. I care more about the story and character development.

It seems Tygra still hasn't gotten over his jelousy of Lion-O. Honestly though, Tygra really does not have anything to be jelous of. All bieng king has really given Lion-O is a ton of responsibilitys and problems. Other than those and a title, Tygra really has always gotten all the cream, while Lion-O has gotten all the trouble. Tygra needs to get over it fully, and support his brother, showing some actual charecter growth. Or at some point we will have to have Lion-O finally kick Tygra's ass.

Agree and agree. That is probably the biggest issie I had with tygra being paired with Cheetara. As was pointed out in that FB discussion with Daniel norton, Lion-O is the more nobel of the two and Cheetara seemed the type to go for noble. Same way I agree that the whole Tygra is in Lion-O's shadow" line to be garbage.

Tygra was never in Lion-O's shadow, Lion-O was always in his.

I'm certain though Pumyra, judging by her recent actions, will do her best with helping him with that matter...

and yes, it would be most interesting on how it will play out if they do form a close relationship.

Part of my point is I'm not sure where the line would be good enough for you. If he orders his LI around like a soldier (which she is likely to be, given the nature of the plot) 90% of the time, and is supportive and nice 10% of the time, is that okay?

My point is that the plot is what it is, a coming of age story about Lion-o, and his position is what it is, abolute monarch. Of course they should have scenes where he helps whoever his love interest is, but it's very likely these scenes would still be about Lion-o, rather than whoever his love interest is. In the end the balance will always swing his way, due to both the story that is being told, and 'reality.' How balanced is balanced enough for you?

Because of what this show is, I think you'd have to work very, very hard to depict anyone as equal to Lion-o.

So the show should be called Lion-o and the Thundercats or the adventures of Lion-o & snarf

She was already sitting on those steps for days. She says the flower helped her endure but she never says it was absolutley what guaranteed her becoming a cleric.

It was her choice to remain out there without food and water, not Jaga's and not Tygra's.

From what we have seen of Jaga, it is highly dubious to think he wouldn't have helped her.

According to Daniel Norton, Tygra giving her the flower IS the definging moment.

This is what you quoted Dan as saying:
"You're mislead to believe it's a relationship between two but the flashback reveals where the other relationship started. If you remember, Tygra was flirting with her during the sword ceremony from the first episode. Though we haven't shown it at this point, you don't know how many times they have stolen moments during their paths crossing before. But the most pivotal moment in Cheetarah's life was joining the Clerics. Tygra helped her achieve that. Lion-O is an assignment. She saw something special in him and she supported him, period."

Nowhere does he say there was no love triangle.

Nick was the one that said there was no love triangle.

Actually sport, what I take away from that IS Daniel saying there never was a triangle. And for the excat reason Nick pointed out. His analogy lacked a third party and it did not fit into the scheme of the cartoon as well.

I've kept things straighter than you. Then again, after reading your sheer amount of brown nosing, your childishness is easily understood.

Lion-O liked Cheetara. Tygra liked Cheetara. We didn't know who Cheetara liked.

LMAO at the PS3 line!

You could be right but that all goes back to what many fans are taking issue with. The way the explanation was done was moronic and rushed. Cheetara never really got a backstory yet so everything about her past is in the dark. Thus we don't know what her reason or rhyme for wanting to be a cleric comes from. We don't know her situation prior to arriving in the kingdom.

All in all, it was just poorly done scenes and poorly done character development.

Love triangle.

is that really so complicated?

Eh, Betty-Archie-Veronica is a love triangle. Not that it's well done, but at least the requisite points are there. And it's not one that's easily resolved either

This is something we agree on.

No he said the audience was mislead. A triangle is when two people like one person and you don't know who she'll chose between them. It does NOT mean she's in love with both people. That's just ridiculous. Last edited by Balgus82; 05-10-2012 at 09:27 AM..

A triangle requires a triangle. By DN saying there never really was a triangle, it defeats the entire argument of what a triangle is. I'm not surprised you can't grasp this simple concept. Thanks for the laughs sport. This is what you quoted Dan as saying: "You're mislead to believe it's a relationship between two but the flashback reveals where the other relationship started. If you remember, Tygra was flirting with her during the sword ceremony from the first episode. Though we haven't shown it at this point, you don't know how many times they have stolen moments during their paths crossing before. But the most pivotal moment in Cheetarah's life was joining the Clerics. Tygra helped her achieve that. Lion-O is an assignment. She saw something special in him and she supported him, period." Nowhere does he say there was no love triangle. Nick was the one that said there was no love triangle. Come on dude can't you keep your own posts straight?
