I am really liking the new take on the Cats. I can't wait for tonight!
|
Cant wait to see him and the tank in action!, this should b sweet.
|
Oh, this was such a great episode!
....is what I see myself saying after watching! |
I guessin panthro is right at the end. Can't wait!

Can't wait for tonight...it would be so much better if they had New Young Justice too though lol
|
Locked in and ready , bring on the cats

Haha they did recap of his life - weird episode with a great ending.

Anyone got the official spelling of his name? I keep saying Emrick but it might be wrong |
I've watched alot of cartoons in my lifetime. that might have been one of the best cartoons I've ever seen as far as storylines go.
|
Average episode, and very sad for the plant ppl on short lives..3.8/10
|
Beautiful episode. It's weird how I found myself completely feeling for the character of Elmerick. Seriously, I was pretty sad when he died. Kind of disappointed that Panthro only showed up at the end in the clip we saw a week before, though. Ruined the intended surprise. Nonetheless this was another amazing episode, I cannot wait to see what else lies in store.
|
ugh...i missed the last ten minutes damn neighbors :(

That was a great episode! Anybody who doesn't like that just has a narrow imagination. First time with the thundercats signal! Guessing thats what brings panthro. Also guessing the great wind they spoke of may have been when mum ra showed up in episode 2 with the wind whirling. Something for adults and kids...just awesome, if you disagree you know what to do!
|
Oh my goodness , this episode took you on a joyride of emotions. I was crying when emmerick died :( , then got goosebumps when Lion-O gave his speech and used the sword of omens :o , and then dang near had a fangasm when panthro appeared. :eek:
I almost feel like I need a cigarette and I do not even smoke ! |

People, people, people.... Two words.....22 minutes
Give em a break you can't get overwhelmed in details in 22 minutes! Just accept somethings without all the details |
Well technically one number and one word. :)

Just gonna enjoy it as well as I can. |
Well technically one number and one word but the point and the plea both remain valid :)

I can't wait to go back and screencap a ton of different Petalars
|
I'm with you...have done some tv work and I can tell you it is incredibly hard to storyboard something great in 22 minutes with a message and adventure. Plus animate it. :). I think they're doing a great job!

Very moving episode. Anything BUT average, IMO. So far, I'd say it's easily the most emotionally-charged entry for me after episode 2. Really got a lump in my throat at the end. So sad, yet so beautifully done. Really touched my soul.
The very end was every bit as cool as expected, but dang - what a way to leave it hanging for another week! *shakes fist* Is it next Friday yet? :D |
I teared up too! It didn't help that my friend's dog passed away before this episode either. Now I'm clinging to my cat

I agree about hub....just wondering how much money they had to start with. WB brought some heavy hitters. I hope they start investing in cartoons again! |
They did a great job with the emotions...who doesn't wanna be the guy or girl who stands up with courage in the face of insurmountable odds! Great stuff.....I teared up too but don't tell anybody. :)

For a 22 minute cartoon, this episode had more "heart" than entire SERIES ever hope to get. But they also aren't stretching some of this stuff out. Had this been produced by an entirely Japanese writing staff, you can bet the last two episodes would have been stretched out for half a dozen or more episodes to cover the same material. I do feel it a bit unfortunate that the "big surprise" at the end was basically spoiled so heavily for the sake of the fans and ratings. Though it probably snagged more people into watching an otherwise great episode in doing so This episode also reinforces my entirely unsubstantiated belief the production crew and series artists "stole" some talent from Studio Ghibli. The Petalars feel like something you'd see in one of their films. |

I think YJ gets it's fanfare just because of a huge new fanbase that can't wait for new episodes...like...at all :mad: But yeah I'm gonna agree with you on that. |
Great episode
Totally trippy I am confused as to why They didn't recognize Panthro right away though.... |
Great episode i was kinda annoyed at the way the ending went down but that doesn't stop me giving this episode 9/10
Emotionally charged storyline, it was another learning episode for Lion-O too. |
Quote:
Also, his name is Emrick! wasn't sure if I was right but I guess I was haha |
It was dark...I believe they are communicating they couldn't see him between the smoke and the night.

Want to know what is really sad? In my opinion, Lion-O has show more, LOGICAL, character development in these 4 episodes than the title character of Inuyasha (a popular anime series) did after 150! |

This episode is what I refer to as an emotional roller-coaster. That was an incredible episode.
A message to the writers; don't toy with my emotions like that! Making me feel excited, sad, thrilled; I can't keep up! It's just not fair! Joking aside, in all seriousness, please, keep up the great work! :D On the whole, this was a heartfelt, tragic, triumphant, bittersweet, journey. The Petalars and their journey will not be easily forgotten. Lion-O is quickly stepping into his role as king. Cheetara and Tygra were fantastic. The twins and Snarf are adorable. The new lizards were rather creepy, and very well-designed. Slythe is ruthless, exactly as he should be. Finally, Panthro and the Thundertank were absolutely awesome. More, please! :D One a final note, the animation, particularly with the Petulars floating, and the fire embers, was beautifully drawn. I think the level of quality for the series has been established, and I think this series is going to be incredible in the long run! :D I cannot wait until next week! :D |

Very cool to tap the sentiment of all of us older thundercats fans by exploring lion os regret over his childhood being gone

For those who talk of fillers and and disappointment (and I mean no offense here simply curious) what cartoon to you hold up as the gold standard of animation and storytelling? Please respond...
