The problem is far to many people use "bad writing" as a catch-all argument for when the show doesn't conform to their personal desires because it's often very subjective. They can just say that and it absolves them of having to listen to other people or try and explain their own position.

And I would argue in this case, when there is a fairly strong consensus that things such as the triangle, the random, inconsistent depiction of EVERYONE's powers in fights, Lion-o's ability to learn, forget, and re-learn all of his life lessons, and the overall pathetic performance of the various villains are poorly done, it is not simply a matter of not 'getting' it or something, but is in fact bad. Now, I still like this show a lot, but it NEEDS to develop some consistency, and that onus is squarely on the writers. |

You are certainly correct, but you also have to know when to stop trying to 'explain' something and just accept that it's poorly done. You can sit and try to explain stuff forever, but there DOES come a point when something is just bad. And if you have to sit and figure out an explanation forever, it's because it wasn't very clear to begin with.
I don't think you guys have WATCHED a bad cartoon in awhile. I may have only given Avatar 5 episodes to get my interest before I got bored, but I gave Voltron 13 goddamn episodes in hopes it might get better. When the kid with the speed powers can't catch the robot with the bomb that's going to destroy the entire Castle of Lions, and they have to rely on magic fuckin' bricks, then, THEN there's something wrong with the writting staff. I'll say it again, ThunderCats writting is equivalent of TFA's early seasons. I still love that series, my friends still love that series. My only thought on how people can justify trashing this show is you've all gone completely crazy with inflated expectations. Last edited by CreepySariFan; 04-10-2012 at 09:04 PM.. |

A good writing will not require the readers or the viewers to do some "heavy extra analysis" of the writings itself. The fact that many of us having to "figure it out" ourselves on "what the heck happened with the characterization of the characters and story" is proof enough that no matter how you are going to view this show with "shippy eyes" or not, the so called "bad writing" existed. Of course the "level of assness" of the show will vary from individuals to individuals, they can view the show as either "badass", badass, "dumbass" or "something in between the ass".

When there are enough people divided on Disney's John Carter; when the only derogatory remarks are essentially the inflated budget, I have to wonder WTF is wrong with the state and opinion of pop-culture as we know it.

I seriously can't wait until all the Avatar fans get a faceful of Korra never learning her lessons from Tenzin, and all their arguement time eating up air time. All the plot progression has already been made in the trailers alone.

I have yet to see a single episode of The Last Airbender, and I take a perverse glee in, upon being explained for the umpteenth time what a fantastic show it is and how no other animation can hope to stand up, responding with "Yeah, so?"

Fans represent a kind of mob mentality, this is true, but like any mob they are usually based on a fundamental truth. If a mob hates something, then there are serious problems with it; maybe not as bad as the mob says, but problems nonetheless. If a mob likes something, then it is probably pretty good; maybe not as good as they say since they're feeding each other, but good nonetheless. |

Okay, now you two are just acting like jerks. You're welcome to dislike something others like, but if you're dicks about it, your opinions pretty quickly cease to matter. And to SariFan: No one is mad when Lion-o doesn't learn his lessons. They're mad because Lion-o DOES learn his lessons, and then FORGETS them the next episode. If they just showed him refusing to learn (like they actually DID do with the Tygra trial, so that one cannot be included in this) then THAT would be consistent, and people would be far less bothered.

Hypocrisy, man, it happens. Especially when you're young, feel like the entire world is against you, under pressure, and whatever else is going on in Lion-O's life. All right here, man We'll chop off your arms and stick some prosthetics on them and see how quickly you're efficient with them. She's just as efficient with is as the OS. He never used it to locate the Spirit Stone either. Not until it wasn't "exactly" where the Book of Omens said it would be. Man, I didn't have any trouble with that, and I'm still enjoying the fuck out of NS ThunderCats. Secondly, all of your answers are EXACTLY what I'm talking about. You're putting words in the writer's mouths that should have just been shown if the story was well done. And they're not even very good words. Nearly all of your answers are 'crap happens.' It's complicated, people are hypocritical, the OS was just as bad, it's new, he forgot that other time too, etc. THESE are your defenses? Seriously? |

I never said I dislike the show. It is entirely possible to have no opinion on something and no desire to partake it in it. When someone insists that you have to watch something just because they like it they're being jerks. I have admitted that I do enjoy screwing with Avatar fans just a little bit but it's nothing personal and usually because they insist on "enlightening" me and pulling me into their little circle.

Aesop Amnesia - Television Tropes & Idioms Look at that list in Western Animation, MAN, writting for every cartoon EVER must SUCK! and the two or three non-comedy examples they had were: THundercats (not helping your point), J. Jonah Jameson, who has a long history of refusing to learn his lesson about spider-man no matter how many times it happens, and Ben 10, which presumably is just another case of bad writing. |

No they don't bug me, they just make me wonder where your head's at. Your defenses all are basically 'stuff doesn't make sense, so don't try to make it make sense' which is one of the worst defenses I've ever seen. Your DEFENSES are largely the same as the complaints that people are making against it.
And that grappling hook picture is dumb for two reasons: first, the cats are superhuman, they are repeatedly shown surviving events that would kill a human or just doing things that means they're stronger than we are. Secondly, and this is key. If you're falling to your death and you've got a rocket propelled grappling hook then you've got two options. One, continue to fall which WILL kill you, and two, use the hook, which MIGHT kill you. What are you going to do? To SirSapphire: No they don't. |

I LIKE the thundercats, I want it to be GOOD. I want villains that are believable, and heroes that are consistent, and a show that is well done.

It makes enough sense to me, I find myself wondering why you're pissing your personal time and enjoyment of the show away by doing this. I'm enjoying the fact I can make you do so, however.
Survive the fall into the apparently soft-water, which Lion-O did. Too bad for him the rocks were on top of him, the only reason he drowned in the first place. Man, you're not paying very good attention. Secondly, if you hit water at terminal velocity, it is NOT soft, apparently or otherwise. If you're arguing that the impact on the water didn't kill him, then hitting the cliff face after a shorter fall would not have killed him either, and would have had the added benefit of not causing him to drown. Win win. |

Instead of rationalising the motivations of fictional characters, why don’t you focus on the real problem – huge inconsistencies on the part of the writers in handling characterisation? Quote:

I like how as your logic falls apart, you just fall back on being a troll. I started this argument having no real disrespect for you, we just disagreed. Whatever, that's what the internet is for, but the more you get pushed the more you just start sounding like a petulant child and falling back on insults.
I won't argue the show didn't make mistakes, but all shows make mistakes. I'm happy with this show. I'm so happy that it didn't become ThunderCats the rock band. Quote:

You know I won't give up on not-caring about the little things, and making my own justifications on how they can make sense. I doubt you'll give up on saying I'm crazy for doing so. |

Yeah, let's just ignore everything else in that list which includes shows often praised for their writing like Teen Titans and Transformer Animated, or even every other show listed there outside of animation. Thundercats is terrible and should never see the light of day.

And while you have a point about relaxing, I would say we're all a step beyond that, since if we really wanted to just leave it be, we wouldn't be on a message board. And I hope it improves, but it's got some serious ground to cover; though this episode was a step in the right direction. |

Bad writing is bad writing even on a good show like Teen Titans, I'm sorry I left it out of my examples. However, they also mention that other than Cyborg and Beast Boy, Teen Titans was actually pretty GOOD about this. As for the other shows, I just looked at Western Animation since that's what he pointed out.

Women are complicated? This is such a stereotypical view. That’s your justification for such poor handling of the “love” triangle?
Lion-O has been “learning” lessons since the fall of Thundera, which he then conveniently “forgets” when the writers want to further the plot. Instead of rationalising the motivations of fictional characters, why don’t you focus on the real problem – huge inconsistencies on the part of the writers in handling characterisation? This is somewhat acceptable. His prosthetic arms had been fixed by the end of episode 14, where he managed to knock out Slithe, Kaynar and Addicus in less than 5 seconds. The writers made him so powerful that they don’t seem to know what to do with him anymore, for example, the ambush at the top of the cliff in episode 15. Cheetara like most other characters conveniently forgets her abilities when it suits the plot. The point is that the writers seem to be ignoring SBS. So basically you are more willing than others to let writers off the hook for inconsistent writing and poor characterisation? And why is 'women are complicated' an acceptable reason to write females behaving illogically? |

Also, I've had some stereotype relationships, so it really doesn't even phase me to see Cheetara like that. |

Eh, the show does suffer from bad writing. Especially the fight scenes. I don't think there's been a single good fight scene in season2.

In this case, the ‘women are complicated' excuse provides an easy, no-analysis-required justification for idiotic storytelling. Apparently some believe that anything the writers chose to do renders it inherently legitimate simply for the fact that the writers have chosen to do so. Cheetara has barely received any significant character development and the triangle has negatively affected any development that had taken place. The problem isn’t that writers chose to do Tygra/Cheetara – it’s how they went about doing it. |

Exactly, the major problem with the triangle that most of us been discussing after that dreaded EP13 aired. Should they have some development or something at all no matter how small other than the EP13 "out of the blue flower thing" at all with T/C before Ep13, then the "Cheetara as a character and triangle debate" will be not be this "long and bumpy".

I find it funny that it always seems to go back to the triangle in these episode topics. Like I said before, maybe that's how Cheetara is personality wise, she jumps into things too quickly, like she did with the Cleric test.

Then why she did not pick Lion-O from the start? Clearly Lion-O was the only one she "talked and cared" about in the first 12 EPs. Zero interest to Tygra. No matter what justification or explanation we have for Cheetara it cannot change the fact that she's "badly written"
At that point, Simon did even WORSE than Lion-O. Kamina isn't coming back from the dead. Is Yoko badly written? I dunno, I'm busy starring at the stars. |

Yoko did not ditch Simon for Kamina. She never did anything like kiss him on the cheek or anything romantic with him by Japan's standards of writing romance. The reason she liked Kamina was because he was able to encourage people. And it was Kamina and Thymilph's fault he died, not Simon or Yoko's. Kamina got out of Gurren and let his guard down. Thymilph took the opening and attacked.

Look I don't like how it happened in the series either man, but right now I'm thinking the writers have some reason for doing what they did. I think people are really jumping the "bad writing" without knowing what may happen next that could possibly put a new view on everything for us later on. Maybe by the seasons end she ends up with Lion-O, who knows!?! Plus I gotta agree, even with the complaints I made about this episode before, I gotta give the series some leeway since it's still the first season, plus I keep coming back to it out of hope it will get better, and I still have some enjoyment when I watch. Back on this episode, anybody else wonder where exactly Mumm-Ra went? I mean, did he leave his own home base or just go further into the depths? Last edited by OmenBill; 04-11-2012 at 12:50 AM.. |

I think it's a crow, but his current body looks more like a bat. I don't think it's been solved yet.....it'd be interesting though.
