I am really loving how the new series takes some elements from the old and tweaks, changes, and makes them fit into the new series without utterly butchering them. That being said, I was wondering what elements, if any, from the old series you would want to see incorporated into the new.
As for myself, I'd really love to see the twins' weapons (the pellets and lariats) or a version of them return. The pellets could be a bit silly in the old cartoon but they could also be useful and lethal in the right circumstance.
One thing I have ADORED about the new series is how toned down the Sword of Omens is. As much as I love the old series, the sword was God's Swiss Army Knife and Cheat Code Book in that series. It did everything. So, I am really enjoying seeing Lion-o discovering its powers and not having it solve everything, instead having to rely on skills and smarts. That was a refreshing change.
However, in that same thread, one thing I _did_ like regarding the sword in the old series was the old danger signal it had. Is it lame...eh, a little bit but I found it an interesting little tid bit. I wonder if that will be tweaked and included at all or if it's dropped altogether. I think it's a power that could be used well, if incorporated right so that it didn't become tiresome.
I think mostly, a lot of places on ThirdEarth I really hope they get to explore. This new series is really expanding on the different atmospheres and settings they use. Hook Mountain was mentioned in "berbils" briefly so I am really hoping we get to see that. Snow is an interesting setting. Although it wasn't used much in the old series, the tunnels dug by the Mole People was interesting too, given the underground element of it. Forest of Mists was also an eerie, haunting kind of place. One of my friends wrote an excellent AU story regarding the forest's origin, with tie-ins to Mumm-Ra and prior "earths" giving it a very grim, creepy and sad origin. That's something I think this new series could easily do something similiar with.
Lastly, while I like the lack of Thundranium in this series, I do hope we get a version of Darkside. Seems like every culture has something akin to "Forbidden Territories" and the like. I'd like to see what kind of legends surround a place like that in this TC universe.
