Here are the results so far out of 130 replies I got (Hardcore Lion-O/Cheetara fans):
38%: Angry and/or disappointed, criticized heavily on the 180 Shifts and will only keep watching if they will fix this. 23%: This was some kind of con and still hoping for Lion-O/Cheetara to happen 39%: Basically they were saying “To hell with this show, I am dropping it!” Last edited by cmangund; 01-06-2012 at 11:53 PM.. |

You questioned a biased group of people. I'm sorry but a survey would've had to have been given to random Thundercats fans to be in any way relevant. I kinda resent it when people say "thunderdads will drop the show" or things like that. I don't have any kids, so I'm not a thunderDAD, but I did grow up with the original and I have gotten my nephew into this show and the old one. I'm a ThunderUncle. lol I'm sorry if I'm coming off wrong when I say this, but I'm being perfectly honest even if every single one of the 130 people who answered dropped the show that's not even 1% of the millions of people who watch the show. Also while they want to make the show accessible for the "thunderdads" their core audience and core demographic has always been kids. When they look at the ratings they watch the 6-11 year olds. When it comes down to it we're not the target audience. As long as they're still selling toys and the kids are still watching they're really not going to make a big deal out of a few people who get angry and quit. anyway again I'm sorry If I'm sounding bad by saying this. |

i think this matter shouldn't be taken too seriously, the writers wanted to tell their own version of thundercats this way. im sorry if some of the fans are displeased with some of the episodes but at the end of the day, they still plan on telling the story they way they want to. for me, the problem was the pacing of the story. after the premiere episodes, eveything else from that point on felt rushed. i believe for a first season, we still haven't gotten solid individual character development. it's funny, i still don't know much about these characters especially liono. for a major character with screen time, we don't know much about him besides his early obsession with tech. all we know is he has the sword, book, and in most viewers eyes, he tends to act immature. even the short flashback of his childhood was mostly tygras story. we don't know what he did as a kid, if he knew his mother and why he is the way he is. i could go on forever but i thought i would share my opinion.
I think a lot of that is going to be explored later on. I agree to an extent, but from what I understand they wrote the whole thing considering 52 episodes. We really have barely scratched the surface of that yet. They've said the show is a slow burn and that things will get better and ramp up as it goes on. They don't want to give everything to us at once. Though I agree some of the episodes felt rushed. But I think the pacing got better after episode 5 or so. definitely better after episode 8. at the beginning they were still getting used to the show and working out the kinks so to speak. |

Maybe you have some reason but think that than yourself you wrote, how many million write on the set of those, but if they read and agree with us, other ones are of a little macho cultures I know person than once for something the kiss was seemed they have left the girl that you are pleasing to them. And if something displeases the father, for influence also to the son. |

What's one hundred for my form to write, what I mean is the fact that there are fans that the kiss bothers them to the extent of not wanting to see plus the show, the following caps will be the decisive for these people.

Since the triangle is already so dumb anyway. If Cheetara ended up has more feelings for Lion-O's "sword" rather than him will definitely cause another problem with the triangle

OK you guys wanted a definitive answer. Be careful what you wish for. Been talking to Dan Norton on FB and he offered to answer questions I had on the show since the Tumblr blog hadn't been updated.
So this was my question: "One thing that I've been discussing with some people on a forum is wither or not Cheetara actually "chose" Tygra at the end of episode 13. They're saying that it was an illusion or it was mumm-ra in disguise or that she went there to talk him out of betraying Lion-O." This was his answer: "Cheetara chose Tygra... it's not Mumm-RA" So take from that what you will. |

I think there will be explanations in episode 14 cause Lion-O is sure to be extremely confused.
I don't know why people keep saying the writers won't make Cheetara stir "up the pot" though. If she stirs up the pot it brings more conflict into the show. they need conflict else it'll just get boring. There's a lot to be done before episode 52 and it does not necessarily need to involve romantic-based angst. It also does not need happiness all around (it's like with great art, a heroic journey and domestic bliss are also mutually incompatible). It's probably due to the long break after the cliffhanger, but it seems that the triangle is the axis of the whole story when it should be about the quest. To end on a constructive note, how do you think they are they going to raise an army to fend off the lizard army while they tackle Mumm-Ra? |

In anime the triangle starts withe the main m/F, but the other person comes in around E3. They go back and forth giving equal time to each couple until in is resolve. They didn't do that here. |

I watched the show multiple times growing up. In elementary school. in high school when it was on toonami. and then after I got off on my own when the dvds came out. Heck on the very first birthday that I actually remember (my 5th) I got a Lion-O action figure. I don't plan on giving up any time soon. And it's not just because of T/C. To me that's such a small part of the bigger story. I really hope they let her choose this early just to get the frikkin thing out of the way so they could focus on the quest. |

Before I read that I had thought they looked at the teen/adult demographic too, but he said they don't pay attention to it. I mean I know adults collect toys too. Heck I collect toys.

Lion-o was the only action figure I had. All the guys and girls would fight over who would be lion-o and cheetara. Kids always made them a couple. I loved sliver hawks too. |

A little while back someone asked Dan Norton on his facebook page what the ratings were for an episode that just aired.
this was his response: "I don't know them. But those are also only for 18-49 year olds. We here only look at the 6-11 year old demographic. But it's nice to know the rest."

But way more kids get toys than adults. If they were going with 6-11, I think the female out fist are a little to ecchi. If they are going for 6-11, they like the hero getting the girl too. They don't understand complex relaionships. |

"Hehehheheh... not to make implications... but in entertainment... Nothing is ever certain... Not even death." Those comments sound like they are playing with us on the triangle. I am glad Grune will be back. TLC review said the love triangle just started. I just didn't expect this show to go that way, but they like doing it. Just like how Bioware got rid of my Warden. |

All the fans I know wanted L/C. In their mind it was L/C since they left for thunderia and tygra was on earth with pumyra. That is how my thinking was too back then.

I admitted when I relayed that quote that it could mean that Cheetara would change her mind down the road. I've never denied that. Though unlike some people I would rather it be gradual instead of happening in the next 3 or 4 episodes because that would just make Cheetara look even worse. TCL review is just that. a review. it's personal opinion. Can't comment on Bioware because I've never played their games. |

"Hehehheheh... not to make implications... but in entertainment... Nothing is ever certain... Not even death." Those comments sound like they are playing with us on the triangle.
