Disagree, he provided you info coming from the main person at WB that wanted the triangle.

"And what about the Cheetara/Lion-O/Tygra love triangle?

"This show is breaking a lot of conventional rules of Western animation," Jelenic continued. "Back when I started people said 'don't do stories that are serialized' and 'don't do love stories.' When we were very early in development, we pitched the show to Peter Roth, the President of Television for Warner Brothers, and the love triangle was the one thing he cued in on immediately. He said, 'Let's get a triangle going between these three characters' and he's obviously a guy who knows what he's doing. So that became a very important part of the story."

I don't understand, they have been running subpots this whole time with the main stroy, how has it taken away from the story.

If they didn't have subplots then the story would be over in 26 episodes.
