Pfff.... 'Destroy'? Really? You think 11 episodes were all about Lion-O's anc Cheetara's love relationship? So I guess all the stuff that happened in those episodes, as well as the revelation of the cats and Mumm-Ra's joint history was just filler, eh? You are ridiculous.
Btw, why are people calling Pumyra 'Myra'? Are two more letters too hard to type? Quote:
Can we NOT talk about stupid shipping anymore, please?
This is a cartoon, what happens will happen because it's written that way. It's pretty stupid to argue that you'd like things to have a different outcome in an OFFICAL story. If you want that, write a fanfic, but it won't change the official media. I much prefer to discuss what happened in a show than what people would like to happen in a show. That's for fanfics. Actually, we can talk about shipping. No law or rule says we can't. If you don't like the discussion, skip it and move onto the next. |

You do realize that most viewers never watch interviews and just turn on the TV to see what's on? As much as you'd like to think, this show is made for a new audience. We can be glad it has so many callbacks and homages to the old series, but it is made FOR KIDS. They are the ones who'll be buying the toys.?
Actually, most parents will be buying the toys for the kids. |

There was no ripping or bashing. A few posters talked about not liking out of character fanfics. They don't mention or hint at a specific author or fanfic, so unless they review under the same name, I don't see how you know the reviewers come from TCL. They were not crying about Tygra being a player, just that we had no evidence to support it, and so it made little sense for it to be so strongly accepted. That goes for both T/C and anti- T/C fanfics. "....one of them even harassed the writer by leaving anon flames".. ..anon flames.. ..you know one of the posters on that board left an anonymous flame? |

I had a few problems with this episode. Not really "writing" per se, but some things that strain logic. First, the idea that wiping out an entire galaxy would only destroy two planets that support life that only orbit a single star is kinda bogus. Surely there would be more than two in an entire galaxy.
Quote:
Secondly...why in the name of Thundera would Mumm-ra need a SWORD when he has a bomb that can reduce an entire galaxy to a glob of metal???? It seems to me that he already has a weapon more powerful than his stupid sword. That'd be like Emperor Palpatine claiming he needs a new lightsaber even though he has the Death Star at his beckon call.
Quote:
And now for a problem I had with the writing. Since Lion-O refused to fight Pumyra in the Pit, she treated him with a great deal of respect in the last episode, even going so far as to throw that flirty "Maybe you should move on to another cat" line. Then, in THIS episode, she goes back to being bitchy, snarky, and all around rude up until the end. Tell me, do the writers watch the previous episodes? Or is Pumyra just supposed to be bipolar?
Quote:
And to throw in my two cents about Cheetara. At first, I was like many of you, ie. ticked off that she was "in love" with Tygra after throwing all those signals at Lion-O. She then said that she was sticking close to him to help him reach his destiny, blah blah. I wasn't buying it at first, but now that I think on it...Lion-O's essentially a young man, probably just out of his teens if not still in them. What better way for a girl with nice curves to push a guy into following the path laid out before him? She doesn't exactly have Jaga's talent for...well, talking and making Lion-O listen...so she has to work with what she's got. But I think that her confidence in her cleric abilities and duties has fallen since the "everything's changed" bit, so she really needs an episode to get herself back up and on the job. Where's the spirit of Jaga when you need him?

Really? So you think it is perfectly reasonable that after watching people you cared for die around you, getting worked to death or sent to die for the rats in the mines by getting the sword... you forget about it and never ever bring it up to the king who (let's face it) went on a revenge-quest after his father died and forgot about any and all survivors? Remember how Lion-O wanted to leave the kittens behind in episode 3?
Pumyra keeps fluctuating between extremes with her like/dislike of Lion-O in the last three episodes. It might not be the writers’ intention but it does make her seem bipolar. |

Wrong Chique, they did mention a specific fanfic. From TCL: "I mean, I've even seen fanfiction recently where Tygra used women freely and threw them away, Cheetara somehow doesn't know about this at all despite having known him all these years and as a Guardian of the Crown presumably being around the palace a lot, and has to be told this by Pumyra smugly warning her that Tygra probably doesn't love her and also who claims to be another woman he used and tossed away." and "Then you end up reading a fic because you just wanted to see Pumyra and Cheetara have a pleasant/funny conversation and it is... something else entirely." Both comments pertain to a specific fanfiction; the same fanifiction story actually. The subsequent comments all complained about fanfictions and ripped into the one Perepeteia first brought up. Well news flash kids. Fanfiction doesn't have to follow the story nor do the characters. Based on the wording of the flame, yeah, I am inclined to believe it was someone from TCL because the same words are used there and really, nowhere else. |

I thought it seemed a bit weird how resentful Pumyra was of Lion-O in the beginning considering they ended the previous episode on a more positive note. Surely there were better ways to show how Pumyra felt than the way it was done in this episode.

The problem is that they wrote her as a blushing fangirl in the last episode and the end of the pit, so to have her suddenly revert to behaving how she did when they met her doesn't make any sense. Once again, the writing team here is incapable of showing smooth plot progression. Everything is incredibly disjointed and it seems like everything: characters, experiences, powers; are all just moved out around at random to serve whatever plot the writers feel like telling, rather than having the plot grow organically from who the characters are and what they are capable of. |

I noticed that the slaves really didn't seem all that upset with Lion-O. The one he gave water to seem really grateful and when they were freed and told to go to the refuge, none of them mouthed off at Lion-O at all. |

I put Pumyra in the same class of character as Artemis Crock (Young Justice), Asuka Sohryu(NGE) and Akane Tendo(Ranma 1/2), spitfires with short fuses and long memories. a common trait is they have no idea how to do affection and tend to hit/yell at those they care about.
Asuka is messed up in literally EVERY single episode she's in, even when she's being nice you can see the rage and screwiness under the surface. Pumyra on the other had, might as well have been two different characters between last episode and this one. Again, this episode's Pumyra actually makes more sense, but it just doesn't fit AT ALL with the way she behaved last episode. |

True, but the difference is that with Artemis and Asuka, they fit the plot they're in. They do not randomly switch completely between episodes for no apparent reason.

Not that the writers intended it like this, but the only excuse I can think of for the difference in Pumyras actions from last episode to this one is that she was enslaved for months in the mines, followed by having to fight in the Pit for the dogs amusement. Suddenly she is free and going through a wave of emotions, trying to re-acclimate to the "free" world. It's sort of like what a rescued POW goes through after months of enslavement and separation from the free world.

Honestly, I thought these eps were a lot of fun. Yeah, it kind of made me raise an eyebrow when Pumyra was bitching at Lion-O again right after flirting with him last ep, but I like your reasoning. Besides, it's not like she didn't have her share of snarky remarks during the previous episode either, when Lion-O prevented her from killing her tormentors on the spot, and when that led to their capture. At the start of this new episode, he still had to win her over and gain her trust. |

While there's no evidence to support that Tygra's a player, there's no evidence to disprove it either so it's more than open to interpretation in fanfic. |

BUT Tygra in my opinion is the Yen to Lion O's Yang. he's the Zuko to Lion O's Aang. Yet I will say I am disappointed with the way his character has grown or lack there of, so far. Pairing wise, I honestly do not buy the whole falling for each other with a few stolen moments through the years, nor do I buy that he knew that was Cheetara in the pilot. The Clerics ALL looked exactly a like in their outfits, how the heck could he tell? Relationships take time and effort, popping in every couple years and saying hi and dropping a flower in her lap does not a relationship make. If they prove me wrong in the coming eps, showing that Cheetara knows Tygra and vice versa better than I've seen with provided info, great on them. I'm keeping my mind open for the future but they have a lot of work to do convence me on that. Back to my story, this was my INTERPRETATION in a FANFICTION, note key words capped. yeah I had no factual backing, but that's the point of fanfiction. is it not? And if someone doesn't like it, I'm sorry but there's plenty of other fics out there. Someone want a girls bonding fic, I've got one in mind just have to plot it all the way out. I only had a plot bunny of this one where Pumyra had a history with Tygra back in his less then honorable days in between the so called "Stolen moments". I thought it would be interesting to write someone point out that she MIGHT NOT know Tygra as well as she thinks she does. I did not write that she ran back to Lion O, I didn't write Cheetara run up and kick Tygra in the nadds, I just ran with Cheetara's past history of a possible jump too soon. No brake ups, no fights, just a lil food for thought. Nothing more. Nothing less. This is exactly why I tend to not go over to the lair anymore..... Sorry for the rant but some of the Tygra worshippers on TCL do bug the snot out of me... The other guy took a big leap and assumed the person who left you an ANONYMOUS flame was a TCL member. I'm not saying it wasnt, just that he has no proof for obvious reasons. |

This is exactly why I said that Pumyra should've criticized Lion-O in the last episode and have her warm and flirty with him this episode. Yeah looking at all three episodes dedicated to her she's fluctuating back and forth and if I were Lion-O, I'd be weary of her. I wonder if both Tygra and Cheetara are feeling the same way about her as well.

Getting away from SHIPPING MADNESS!!! for a moment, I'd like to bring something up. I kinda think the bad astronomy was intentional now. I started to re-watch the first episode of Thundercats, TOS. There is a similer thing in that where the galaxy and solar system seem to be getting confused. So maybe it wasn't bad science on the writing staff's part, but rather a callback.

If this is true then wouldn’t that just mean it was an intentional call back to something that was wrong in the first place?

Um..the point of the other guys post was that TCL members were ripping apart a fanfic. If you look at the comments, I don't see how you can come to the conclusion that they were being unjustly mean. S/he disagreed with your interpretation of Tygra, and she said so without linking your fic or mentioning your name. She was not rude, or crass. Big difference between constructive criticism (or maybe a disagreement over a cannon potrayal of a character) and flaming. S/he even mentions that while it's not their cup of tea, authors will write characters to suit their own personal taste. I'm not trying to argue over your portrayal of Tygra. All I said was that the posters were not ripping apart your fanfic.
The other guy took a big leap and assumed the person who left you an ANONYMOUS flame was a TCL member. I'm not saying it wasnt, just that he has no proof for obvious reasons. but if being refered to as "Another butthead Lion-O fanboy" is that's the best they can throw at me on ff.net, I laugh. I dunno if the anno flame was a TLC member, heck they could be a member on this forum. either way, I'm 85-90% certain that the two flames came from the same person. And should that person be on this forum and reading this I say the same thing that I do to anyone who just does not like my stories. I'm not selling the stories, and you're not paying to read um, so tough tofu. go read another fic that's more to your taste. TC fics section on ff.net are growing with fics that support both pairings. you'll find something else ya'all like I'm sure if I'm not your cup of tea. |

I do agree, I didn't ake it as being overly mean, but some of the comments ruffled my feathers just a tad, but I've taken worse hits. But I've mentioned many times my mistrust of Tygra on TCL and was chewed out repeatedly. I won't defend my writing, if anyone doesn't like my stories, that's fine, I'm not holding anyone at gunpoint to read it. if they like it, great! If not, that's cool too, I do respect creative criticism. If something I write you don't agree with, tell me so in a polite manner, but should I disagree with your statements, I will give you the reasonings behind my way of thinking and leave it at that. Nothing more and nothing less.

If a fan (MJ) wants to kill off lion-o and have tygra get evey female, then that is their right. I really don't care what fans right about. Now this show is a different story. |

Not sure what the spotted cow was about? You got me confused there...(mind you I may have missed it in the thread. I don't read everything around here).

Oh, it was very wrong. But the difference is that it at least means the new shows creators aren't that bad at astronomy, but rather threw an easter egg in for the long time fans.

Did the episode 13 thread have to do with a fanfiction? No? Then it's apples to oranges. You really need to work on your comparisons; you seem to have a lot of trouble with them. |

I can see the episode now. Tygra bends down and Cheetara flips out seeing him wearing one of her thongs. Pumyra checks her bag and finds she is missing underwear. Tygra is forced to admit he is a panty-sniffer. Lol yeah. Good thing the Queen had a green thumb or Cheetara would have gone with the more noble Prince. |

I put Pumyra in the same class of character as Artemis Crock (Young Justice), Asuka Sohryu(NGE) and Akane Tendo(Ranma 1/2), spitfires with short fuses and long memories. a common trait is they have no idea how to do affection and tend to hit/yell at those they care about.

Can we not compare Pumyra to other characters? Especially ones like Asuka? They're nothing alike.
