Kids don't get that. It's a joke for adults. Such as the "getting lucky" comment after the kiss. There have been a lot of them in previous episodes, and you can find them about everywhere now. Even Disney shows and movies. I should know, there's a lot of Disney time in my life *sigh* |
all in all I'm just speculating and trying to formulate some theories. the only thing I know for certain is something is building for Ty/Chee good or ill (do have a bad feeling tho), AND that sword, regardless who weilds it, Tygra, Cheetara, Mumm Ra or Wilykat (there's a mental image for you :P ), that sword is bad news.

[youtube]9i9pU3bVbp0[/youtube] As for this episode, I didn't think anything of the lucky thing until I got to tumblr. I think it was just as "bad" as the sword joke. |

As soon as they get it, I won't throw a fit: it's only natural that they will. Getting the jokes does not mean their development will be hindered or that they will be rendered vulnerable to their environment, IMO. Besides, the situation between Cheetara and Tygra was set up in a correct and respectful manner, won't you agree? About the bolded text, according to a parent's meeting at school three years ago, the age is 11 now. That's not every child, thankfully, it's just the statistics about how much we need to keep our eyes open. |

If a Thundercat is to head for the dark side and be corrupted, it'd likely be Tygra since he's arrogant. I could also see Lion-O replacing Tygra with Bengali if this were to happen. I agree that Tygra could wield the Sword of Plundarr without the gauntlet and try to battle Lion-O.

Maybe they fight again and lion-o wins. Lion-o is weaken and mummra shows up and kicks a$$. Mummra takes the spirit stone and before he can't take them out, Dobo comes in and rescuse them. Just saying. |

A post from Dan Norton, art director of Thundercats. Worth reading his last few posts. |

Don't want to sound like a jerk, but no pics for 20? :)
I saw them on Thundercats now. |
So when mummra gets his SoP will be get the spirit stone?
|
There are other stones for Mumm-Ra to recapture to bring the Plundarr armor back from Legacy. Lion-O may need to find other stones to re-activate the Armor of Omens from Legacy as well.
I will bet you that if Mumm-Ra does get the Sword of Plundarr back with the Gauntlet, Tygra would end up being the one to cause this. |

All lion-o needs is the green stone and he will have the AoO. I want to see a big B/B one last time. |
So did they actually let this episode go without anyone saying "Thundercats are loose"?

I wonder if they're building to that and that's why they haven't had him say the words that many times. I wonder if he's gonna finally say it when he's truly earned his kingship, it's gonna make the cat symbol appear on all their gems, and we're gonna get the eye-glow power up? |

It's a different show, different rules apply. If the sword even can return to Lion-O's hand and hasn't it isn't because the sword is weak, it's because Lion-O hasn't mastered that skill yet. None of the other cat's powers are granted by the sword either, the eye glow and "power up" is a function of their loyalty to Lion-O and so far only Cheetara has displayed that level of loyalty. The purpose of the Thundercats signal is to call the other cats to Lion-O's side when he needs them. If they're right there there's really no need for it (although he has used it with them right there before). In the old series it was over-used (pretty much every episode) and really served no purpose other than to pad out the show with stock footage and allow the other cats a token appearance in an otherwise Lion-O only episode (of which there were quite a few). By the time they even got to him he had most likely already beaten whatever he needed help with. Limiting the use of it is for the best, as it actually means something when he does do it. |
Cheetara displayed it once. They really really need to consider having the other cats maybe display the eye-glowy thing as well, maybe as an affirmation that after the trials of Lion-O, they've acknowledged Lion-O as the king.
The talking ratmen need to be more disturbing though. They're kinda vanilla. But then my idea of ratmen comes from GWs skaven. |

All I'm saying is maybe they're building to that, and that's why they've been avoiding using it. We'll get this big 'king' moment where Lion-o makes the call and they all power up and finally get the symbol. Theory. I had actually forgotten the time it worked on Cheetara, though if anything that adds to my theory. to the other thing. Powers are not given meaning when they are used less, they are given meaning when they are used in a meaningful way. Original series aside, that is NOT what they've been doing here. THey've just had him use it randomly a couple of times and then they stopped completely. Was using it in song of the petalars more meaningful than it would have been to use it in the trials of lion-o when he comes back from the dead and reclaims the sword from Mumm-ra? No. And was song of the petalars the only time they showed it actually making the giant signal in the sky (this is not rhetorical, I don't remember)? |

They turned the whole "virgin" scene into a "vegan" scene. Kids won't get the joke, but adults would. |

Why does everyone keep saying the Sword of Omens won't work for Tygra? There's been no evidence to that. What has been said by the crew is that other cats can use the sword (as Jaga more than proved in this very episode), but it only reaches it's full potential in the right hands (i.e. Lion-O or Leo).
|
Anyway if Tygra did use the SoP, I think he would only use it against the army as a last resort. Since the Trials he's really calmed down on the whole "wanting the crown" thing. I could see him trying to use it, but since he's using it for a good purpose it harms him or makes him sick or puts him in a coma for an episode or so. But I don't think he's going to use it. I think Mumm-Ra's going to get his hands on it. Let's face it, Mumm-Ra needs it to continue being a credible threat.

Weak probably wasn't the best way for me to put it, more like "restrained". The Sword doesn't seem to be quite as impressive as in the OS. |
Got to tell you guys, after reading about the facebook posts by Dan Norton, and watching this episode.......I think I'm done with this series.
I was a fan of the original series as a kid and maybe i am a little biased in how some of the characters and plot have been handled versus how i believe they should have been handled. Since the end of ep 13 the series left a bad taste in my mouth (The 180 in the triangle and the inconsistency in characters) I thought with time they would have had an overall reasoning for it, but now knowing that a good portion of it was to mess with us. and now they are just going to use future episodes as tools for justifying that mess?.........no....no I'm sorry but no. The episodes that followed, while some have been good, have just drained my enthusiasm for the overall plot and really just sapped my desire to see the resolution. I have tried to muster up resolve to see it through but, I just can't anymore. If the show continues and I hear good things about future episodes, I'll maybe give it another shot but as of right now.......there's legend of korra I could be watching. To each his own, so if you are enjoying this series, by all means disregard everything I just said and keep on keeping on. |
Series could be better. The first few eps had a sort of epic feel to it. Now I feel like we're down to 'what is the problem of the week that we'll solve and probably NEVER mention again' syndrome

I miss "sword come to my hand" as well and all the other things that made the SoO so great. Little touches like the sword going into short sword mode after being knocked out of Lion-o's hand go a long way. Its as if the sword were some what "alive" in the OS. Here it feels like it is just a weapon. A cool weapon, but nothing compared to the original. There is nothing "mystical" about it or anything. We barely even get to see "Sight Beyond Sight". And when was the last time we saw Panthro wield his Nun Chucks? Why does he even carry them anymore? I know some of the guys involved in the NS are supposed to be hardcore Tcats fans but sometimes it doesn't seem like it as they leave out all the things that made Thundercats stand out. |
