Watching new TC, makes me want to watch Record of Lodoss War again. I see some elements in both series. Both sides going after powerful objects, gathering the nations together to fight the villains, and the team make-up seems a bit similar. The MC group leaders are both novice sword users.
The kind of character potential Cheetara could have been like Deedlit. Knowledgeable, spiritual, and the way she acts towards Parn like Cheetara did to Lion-O before hooking up with Tygra. Welcome to Third Earth. Lion-O: Hey, what's this. *tickle* *tickle* Cheetara: *Laughs* Get your hands off me. Pumyra: Lion-O, you two timing *bleep*. Tygra: Hey, get your freakin hands off my freakin broad. *Tygra comes running out invisible with only his under shorts showing.* Lion-O: Ah! What the heck is that? *Runs away.* |
Okay, speculation here...
How long until Mumm-Ra gets ahold of the new Vultureman and decides to clip his wings to keep him grounded? |
I can see Mumm-Ra taking out Vultureman and battling Lion-O for the Tech Stone. I can also see the Thundercats taking on Mumm-Ra in a similar fashion in Journey To The Tower of Omens, which is one of my favorite episodes this season.
If Part 2 is to have Lion-O wielding the Armor of Omens, I wonder if he's going to age as a result of it. |
I called it, Vultureman! :) And man, I love this guy. He is not a nice guy, but man, he has valid reasons not to trust the cats, and is not a moustache-twirling villain. I am intrigued how (and even if at all) he will come to serve Mumm-Ra.
Pumyra surprised me, but I guess her hatred of Mumm-Ra is even stronger then that of Lion-O's. Guess she should take a look into the Book as well to see where such actions lead. Love also how we learn that not only the Book knows of the past, the birds obviously were better historians then the cats. And the aerial race was really awesome. I found myself worried Tygra would lose and they'd lose the stones - after all, happened once already with the Duelist. I really hope the show continues, as I fully expect things will escalate a LOT now that the cats have pretty much declared war on the birds as well. Quote:

As for Tygra, I am quite convinced it's really a genetic thing, especially since Lion-O mentions this. He probably told the group about what he saw in the Book inbetween episodes. Mumm-Ra probably indeed 'made' the animals to serve him, as I said, it's no coincidence all of them look like Earth animals while the native fauna and native intelligent beings on Third Earth look nothing like animals we know of. Also loved to see the places the group have visited so far named and shown from birdseye view. :) |

2. Because he was in the tunnel of love. If he was with lion-o, he probably would've, because lion-o was struggling to beat Rata-o. 3. But it was a team effort. 4. If I am correct, lion-o didn't really do anything. Again, Tygra beat lion-o again. I think tygra beating lion-o is more significant than so stupid jump and pressing the button. 5. Again, the SoO is lion-os and was from the OS where lion-o shined more than the other cats unlike this series. What I expected in this series. 6. How is this even a upstage. Wow, jaga talks to the King. Isn't that jaga's job, even in death he does his job unlike cheetara. 7. But it was his episode, how did that make lion-o look good. Native Son (Tygra). 8. Still a good idea as mecha. He didn't die did he. 9. How is that even consider anything. Tygra is a jerk or should I say a narcissistist. Who has lion-o beat besides mummra and Rata-o. Lets face it, if he didn't have the stone, he loses to Rata-o. Rata-o was beating lion-o. He beat mummra twice with two blast with the SoO and the Spirit Stone. Tygra has looked great in this series. 1. Tygra has always beat lion-o (big issue). 2. Even in episodes where tygra loses, he still looks good. He fails in his only mission as king, but he still beats lion-o. 3. He gets beat in 15, but he becomes king and comes up with the plan to save the group. 4. How did he get beat in 23? He didn't, he was under the potion and I think that was more interesting than lion-o doing flips and getting nowhere with it. 5. Tygra looked great with his whip in 24 deflecting the lasers. Lion-o talks SS to let the robot go and you think that is great. Like I said, tygra (your boy don't lie) has shine more or equal to lion-o. |

Hello everyone... It's been a while.
The producers of the show don't really care about its fans all the much and anyone who disagree with me on this are indeed the minority. Because of the way the series has been handled, the fan base has been split into sections. Majority of the fans have stop watching this show all together, a portion are/were being optimistic and gave it a chance, and the minority are enjoying the series because there is nothing wrong with the show. The producer is obviously is doing this show for himself and not for us(fans). This show will most likely be canceled. It is disheartening because it had soooo much potential to be a memorable series. The reason why some of the mangas, video games, comics etc. are so successful is because producers listen to there fans and not brush them off. Example. The Tekken series- While the game may not be your cup of tea, it still appeal to the majority of the consumers. Why is that, because Harada(producer of Tekken) constantly interact with the fan base. He was the one responsible for the petition on SC5 because the fans wanted it. MJ and DN forget that we, the fans are the one who keep them in business not the other way around. It is a shame the by the time they figure it out, the series will meet its demise. PS as for L/T- I can't distinguish who the main character and who is the supporting character. MJ said this would be the heroes tale but for who Lion-O or Tygra. |
Hey, just a quick heads up to everyone who responds to multiple people at one time and separates out these responses into a series of consecutive posts: Please use the "Multiquote" functionality available on the board with every post.
It's simple to do and is considerate to others. It helps make the board appear less "cluttered" and "spammy". It also helps the boards itself by reducing resources needed to perform routine functions, such as: taking up less on-disk storage space, taking up less active memory space, requiring less bandwidth to construct each discussion board page. All of these cut down on costs (however minimally) and make it easier to keep this site running. Thank you for your consideration. |
For the fourth time, I'm not partial to Lion-O or Tygra. Just because I disagree with you doesn't mean I'm on anyone's side. If I can ask you a question: Are you an adult? You have a habit of ignoring arguments and focusing on the same points.
You might as well BE a Tygra fan, seeing as how you follow his every exploit and hype them up to ridiculous degrees.[/QUOTE] So do you. The point again is your boy who is your avatar (don't lie), has out shine lion-o or is equal in almost every episode. You arguing so passionately for tygra's case, show your a tygra fan. Sorry, don't want to join your tygra fan club. Ridiculous is saying jaga talking lion-o is some how better than tygra. That is following the OS. There is nothing you can say can change my opinion. Heck MJ said he upstage tygra and he did a lot in this series. To be honest, if we were both acting like adults we would stop arguing. We will not get any where with this. That is what a mature adult would do if that is where you are trying to go. |

I have a Tygra avatar because I liked it the best out of all the avatar choices, not because I'm a Tygra fan. If I was a Tygra fan, why would I make arguments against him? That would make me a Lion-O fan. |

You're not making arguments against him. There are many avatars to pick from. Is it wrong to want more from the writer to make lion-o great?? How about "SoO come to my hands". Haven't heard that one. |
Getting back to the actual thread for a moment .... I actually loved this episode and it really redeemed itself from the abortion of an episode we had last week.
Sure a few parts bothered me as always with the new series (mainly the fact that all of a sudden they had a feliner but no mention as to the status of the tank) but it still looked awesome and I was thrilled to see vultureman or whatever stupid name they wanna call him, even though we probably wont see much more of him just like with jackalman and monkion (I forget the crappy names they made up for these too lol) in all it actually felt exciting though and had much more of a thundercats feel about it. My biggest concern the growing inconsistency of the episodes. Also how dare they make panthro out to seem like such a clutz in this episode ..... Panthro is unbreakable cmon !!!!! |
Quote:
Lion-O isn't respected by his comrades--I thought the Trials were supposed to end all of that. Tygra reverted from listening to Lion-O after the Trials to almost gambling their stones away. Panthro was a bad-ass in season one only to become comical as soon as he lost his arms. Cheetara went from the only one who really believed in Lion-O to Tygra's girlfriend. Pumyra is damn near bi-polar with listening to Lion-O one moment to arguing with him the next. Didn't she accept him as her king? I think the best treated characters out of the heroes are the Wilykittens and Snarf. |
That's the sad part of this season is that the twins and Snarf were the best characters. Maybe there should be a spin-off featuring them. I heard Forever Bag got a good rating.
I agree that the rest of the characters have fluctuated back and forth thus lacking any consistency to them and the story itself. Does Pumyra supposed to have a great leaping ability like the OS Pumyra? |
Quote:
Perhaps for children the kittens search for El Dara and their journey through Third Earth and who they meet along the way would have been more intriguing. Survival of the Fittest was a pretty good episode and while I wasn't thrilled with the Forever Bag it appears to have done very well in the ratings. Just a thought. :cool: |

The Ratar-O fight made Lion-O look like a weakling who suddenly forgot all his skills. Lion-O was beat up and tossed around. He barely managed to land a hit and had to fall back to using the Spirit Stone as a last ditch effort. What about Tygra and Cheetara? The purity of their “love” magically repelled all the falling rocks and left them unscathed. How amazing was that? |

I thought that made Ratar-O look more of a beast, especially since the villains are supposed to have a higher threat level. I'd rather have Lion-O have a tough victory. Unfortunately, most of his Mumm-Ra battles have ended with a blast from the Sword of Omens. |
Quote:
Picture this: The entire world is falling apart. Instead of attempting to actually do something Lion-O and Pumyra share a dramatic and cheesy Last Kiss. When they open their eyes, everything around them is absolutely in ruins. However, they are left without a scratch, proving to everyone that their love is so incredibly pure that it can even bend reality. Who knows…? Maybe this is how the show’s writers come up with their romance. Or maybe Tygra just naturally has the ability to psychically repel falling rocks. He seems to be able to do everything else naturally. |

The twins went get took-it to steal the stone and with his luck the city will stay afloat :D:D:D:D.

It kind of reminds me of Lion-O in Ramlak Rising. He lost it, and it almost cost them their lives. Maybe he will be able to relate to her because of it, and help her see that emotionally charged decisions are not always the best ones. |
Pumyra in this episode is what Lion-O used to be back in Ramlak Rising, but a little amped up. Regardless of which city it falls on, that animal race would have suffered the consequences and this is where Lion-O is coming from. I hope her actions will be addressed in the second part.
The end of the episode sees the Thundercats splitting up with the core group being captured by the Vulturemen, Wilykit and Wilykat hovering down to get some help, and Snarf being chased by more Vulturemen. |

The only reason Pumyra beat Lion-O in the pit was because Lion-O refuse to fight her. He let her beat him.
Lion-O's physical fighting skills may not be up there with Panthro and Tygra, but he could hold his own. Most of the Thundercats didn't do much in this episode, but only Tygra and Pumyra are the only ones who have done something in this first part. |
In Lion-O's trials the spirit Tygra said he only looses to the real Tygra because he psyches himself out. I.e. he doesn't win against Tygra because he doesn't think he can. If he believed in himself more I think he could take Tygra.

Just saw this yesterday one more episode I really enjoyed I was so surprised with the Feliner, the episode had funny parts and I liked the planes race. Overall good episode and I just can't wait for the next.
I do have one question, I'm assuming they will get the 3rd stone in the season 1 final episode and then what? They still need the 4th and there is not time to fight with MumRa so we really need Season 2 or at least 5 episodes more. A few to retrieve the 4th stone and a few to fight MumRa I really hope that they do season 2 or extended the season with 5 more episodes or so in order to at least give it a proper finale. |

my thoughts on the episode
1) Panthro's quickly becoming the buttmonkey of the show 2) The irony of Tygra getting annoyed at the birds superior attitudes, lol. It's even lampshaded later on 3) Seriously, Tygra wtf? Lion-O has done 'stupid' things before; according to board members, but even he has never wagered their only chance of success just because of his pride. 4)Cheetara. You need development. I wish the writers could actually write normal females, you know ones which aren't bipolar or just blind extensions of their love interest. 5) Pumyra, you HAVE ISSUES. Lion-O needs to seriously get the hell away from her. Everything about the way she's acting just gives me bad vibes 6) Vulture dude is pretty cool. And he already seems more developed character-wise than a lot of the other cats. 7) Pumyra, EVEN if you took the tech stone. HTF were you planning on running to your ship and escaping within the 'moments' it would take for the whole place to crash to the ground? How good do you think cats are at running when falling at terminal velocity? Seriously, no -_- NO. NO. NO. DO NOT WANT |

I agree what Tygra did was stupid, but you can't say Lion-O has never gambled the Sword. |
