I see your point and your right, I am a long time member over at TCL and while there was a small surge of new members when the NS started, it wasn't huge.

I guess what I meant was that the nostalgia of the OS and subsequent re-airing of it on Toonami kept Thundercats relevant in pop culture with no new material for a very long time. I think that says a lot about those characters.

Could they have written a series that "started" where the OS left off that would appeal to both people new to Tcats and those familiar with the OS? I believe so. That's what flashbacks are for after all

.

It may have even had those new to Thundercats picking up the OS on DVD to "catch up".
