The same could be said of anyone who doesn't love anything ThunderCats; if you don't love BOTH shows unconditionally, then you aren't a true fan, because that's one element of ThunderCats you don't like that others do. If you didn't like the Wildstorm comics, then you aren't a true fan.

The reality is that you can like any new Transformers era and hate G1. You can like the modern ThunderCats and hate the original series. You could like the 2003 TMNT and dislike the comedic Fred Wolf TMNT. You could love the X-Men movies, but not like the comic book. This is not unheard of. These people are fans of the property too.

And how about new fans who discovered ThunderCats through this new show? Would you discount all of the new fans too?

WHY exactly is does this series even exist? It the property wasn't popular, why the attempt to fix it?
Nostalgia. ThunderCats fans are older and have their own kids now. Bringing back something loved by those parents works easier than taking a risk on a new property. Besides, the older fans have wanted ThunderCats back for decades. There's money to be made. But don't think for a second that there are artistic reasons behind cartoon properties--it's to sell new merchandise.

CARTOON NETWORK continues to bottom feed of poorly drawn comedy shows and retread anime and Bandai continues to put out TRASH product thats poorly sculpted.

I have Icon heroes Mumm-Ra and that staction is 100 fold more beautifully sculpted and accurate than the stuff Bandai produces. If The Figures looked like that then it might give Mattels MOTU classics a run for its money.
Bandai isn't Mattel. Bandai of America makes kids' toys, like Ben 10 and Power Rangers. They initially didn't know that the standard size for collector figures was 6". Mattel's MOTUC and Icon Heroes are adult collectibles with expensive price points that aren't mom and kid friendly.

This series is garbage. I've said it since episode two. It has ZERO respect for the original and FAILING because of it.

Where Hollywood has figured out that trying to be faithful to properties ia more successful way to go...this cartoon ignores it in an ARROGANT attempt to say" the old series is stupid, we can do so much better"

This revamp has failed in every way from story to product.

Let it Die and find someone that loves and understands the property and WHY its popular all these years.

and before some snarks come back with " oh you just wanted it like the old show and be cheesy"

Of course not, Snarf can be seen not heard, you can have better dialogue and expanded plots and action...but you don't have to arrogantly change what made the show great in the first place.
Is ThunderCats Runined Forever™?
