Hey guys, I thought I'd post this for critique and whatnot. This wasn't so much fanfic as me thinking out how I'd revamp Thundercats. I mixed the old show with the Wildstorm comics and some of my own thoughts, while keeping a few things I personally enjoyed, and answering some details that the old show left out (why is it called 3rd Earth? Why did no other alien worlds try to help Thundera?) I thought I'd post this and see what you guys think. Please let me know if these are good ideas, crap, or some mix between the two.

Plundar Claudis defeated his father w. help from Jaga and Grune Grune becomes power-hungry, goes on rampage, banished to outer space War w. Plundar continues even though Thundera becomes unstable Claudis tries to evacuate Thundera, only saves few thousand and dies saving Lion-O.
