Another old Interview bits, I found interesting:

Are you scared of ThunderCats fan backlash?

Yes! Definitely! ThunderCat fans are very passionate. I worry all the time. I go to message boards and see what lines I can't cross, because they will tell me. We do change the mythology a little bit, and I'm a little worried that we will make some people upset. Hopefully they understand we're trying to be respectful.

What was the creative process like for ThunderCats?

ThunderCats has got like, 150 episodes. It's impossible to watch every -- well, it's not impossible, but I would have to devote like a year of my life to watching every single episode. You try to find the iconic episodes, the fan's favorite episodes, and watch those. I'm all about the iconic stuff. So the secondary characters won't make it in to an episode right off the bat, I want to focus on Lion-O, Tygra, Cheetara, Panthro, WilyKit and WilyKat, Snarf, Mumm-Ra. Once we build that world with those characters, then that's when we can go back and look at whether it's time to put in Lynx-O or Pumyra -- some of those more obscure characters.

The best thing I find for understanding what clicks about a character is usually going to the fan boards and seeing them argue over characters. People go crazy over that stuff. That's where I usually see what the hardcore fanbase is into. Sometimes I check the fan pages a little too late for my own good, and find out "OH! I shouldn't have done that."

================================================== =

So The crew did not like fan backlash, and right now they have done both L/C and T/C fan a disservice like strombringer said, by doing this crazy 180 sift out of thin air with T/C. If they are smart they will continue building L/C, otherwise tons of the promises and interviews were all lies to L/C fans like hollowheart said too way back, that will make their reputation bad too, making them full of BS.

Looks like Pumyra is a B-list character afterall. Lion-O, Tygra, Cheetara are the three main focuses, The triangle can still be very long indeed, as WB bosses that wanting it too. Since this is a Lion-O story not Tygra, L/C will always be their main focus, like what they have done the past 13EPs in the triangle.

Old interview, before the premiere (but they have practically finished 26 episodes of season 1, like they said too before the premiere) but it cleary shows the crews MO, wanted to make as much fans happy as possible and the are carefull with Tcats. Clearly Bad critics about T/C are everywhere (crew's facebook, crewblogs,twitter, etc) including some the T/C fans themselves. Since story wise, this T/C thing were not being written properly.
