It's not some untouchable classic, it's something that was more popular as a tshirt in the 2000's than it ever was as a cartoon.

Well, I would not say Dinosaucers or COPS was more popular then Thundercats - for starters, try to find those shows on DVD... I know, I did.

I did raise an eyebrow at 'Pole Position' and 'Shirt Tales', those sound like porn movie titles... Or maybe my mind is dirty.

Can you tell me more about those two?

Writing in that he has some phobias is not character depth. Showing his history with Grune and how he was betrayed is. Sadly that is pretty much all we got for Panthro (which is at least more then we got for Cheetara).

Umm, no, there was his backstory with Dobo, which was one of my favourite episodes in the 'second season'. It's true he has taken a backseat, but frankly, the 13 episodes we got gave backstories to Tygra, the Kittens, and established Pumyra as well. I am happy with what we got.

Unless you just LIKE the ThunderCats running around in their underwear...

Or without it.

Frankly, I still have to shake my head in bewilderment about that first episode. They have the outlines of pants, but are otherwise totally naked. Invisible pants?
