No, I'm not trying to get down on those who hate how the triangle was presented. It's the implication that she should pick who ever does the most for her. That Lion-O should have been chosen because he's done more for her ( BTW, what has he done for her, that he hasnt done for the whole group? In the end it doesnt matter, but I would love to know what you all are talking about.) She can pick who she wants, for whatever reasons she wants. Lion-O could die seven times over for her, but if she doesnt feel that way about him, then she shouldnt be forced or feel obligated to date him.
It's not about whose done more. It's about Cheetara making a choice.
She's a woman. Not a certificate of completion.
I basically agree with you here. Cheetara is of course free to end up with whoever she chooses. Like I've said too many times, she ended up with the one I wanted/expected.
Couple of caveats though:
1. Freedom to choose doesn't excuse poor presentation. Reveals are valid writing tools. Showing viewers/reader something they didn't see as they went on. But that doesn't mean that every time they're used, they are used well and have to be accepted. A perfectly good writing tool can be used in a crappy fashion.
And a pretty good example of a bad 'reveal' is when it is used to retroactively explain a development that is almost the opposite of everything that has happened in the story.
2. Cheetara's not real. This is important. She, technically, has no rights or freedoms of any kind. She is a storytelling device. As such, to produce a quality story (which is the goal of fictional media, since it makes more money that way), her behavior is beholden to the story being told, and the quality of the story being told is in the eyes of the viewers.
No matter who she ends up with, she has not made a 'free' choice about anything. She's just a piece of the writer's story. Had she chosen Lion-o, that would have been just as 'free' as that she chose Tygra. The question is 'was it done well?' not 'what does it say about Cheetara's rights as a woman?'
Besides, Thundercats long ago failed the becktel test (I'm probably getting the name wrong, seems to me Chique might know this) pretty badly.
