It's okay for the Cats to lose a fight. The problem is that the writers don't seem to know how to do that without having them fight like idiots. Which is unfortunate, because it undermines every single character on the show.

It makes it look like the cats are slightly retarded, and it makes it so the villains aren't credible threats because they only win when the cats are being dumb.

Better written fights, where the cats win, or lose, based on luck and circumstance rather than plot-based stupidity would make the whole thing better. Better heroes, scarier villains, etc.

I know I use the Last Airbender as an example a lot, but once again Thundercats could learn something from it here. That is a show where the heroes win, lose, and escape regularly without ever having to behave truly dumb to explain their losses. They lose because the villains are strong.

They need to give the villains an upgrade. Give them all new weapons that make them credible threats to the cats with the cats fighting at full strength. Use it to write more dangerous fights and to sell toys. Win, win. Atticus and Caynar are a step in the right direction, but not quite far enough.
