Please use this thread to discuss Thundercats Episode 25: What Lies Above Part 1. Remember, the new episode of Thundercats airs Saturday June 9 at 9:30 AM EST.
Sorry, no previews again this week. We did get a logline synopsis though: Quote:
The ThunderCats’ search for the Tech Stone leads them high above Thundera to the floating bird city of Avista, where the stone is the power source for their city.

Yeah, even my provider Charter hasn't updated the on demand....it's still on episode 13. Though i'm looking forward to this episode. Hopefully it'll be worth getting up early. The past few times i wish i had slept in.

Yeah, I'm sick of the filler myself. It's okay for a couple of episodes earlier in a season, but now that we're heading towards the season finale, they need to focus on the main story again.

WOW.
If this doesn't prove who MJ loves, I don't know what does. Again, Tygra shines as always. Cheetara reduced to cheerleader. Like the new Vultureman. Pumyra is just like tygra. Doesn't listen to lion-o pushes him, but MJ makes sure he loves her. Great art, funny parts, and Vultaire, that is all I like. If there is no more misdirections in this show, it was done for one reason, to make MJ's dream come true. Last edited by L08e16o; 06-09-2012 at 09:06 AM.. |

MJ must be removed completely out of the show, not just from the writing job. Otherwise his bad aura will linger, bad business all around

The new Vultureman aka Vultaire is awesome!
With the stone powering the whole city, it makes you wonder how this is all going to fly *Pun intended* LOL. Panthro's meltdown kinda reminded me of a Mr. T moment (for us old enough to remember BA Baraccus) I'm happy to see Tygra acquire a new skill. Last I checked MJ didn't write the episode. Can't blame the man for everything. |

It was a decent episode. The rush really killed the potential of letting them explore the city a bit. One of the filler episodes could have been used to explore the bird city.
I bet the words Turkey and Chicken are negative slurs to their kind. |

The ending of the season will have lion-o fight mummra for 2 minutes (like the flashback) and lion-o will hit mummra with a lucky shot. While tygra will beat the other generals. I am so done with him. You were right when you talked about what he did in BM brave and bold. |

Tygra and Pumyra aren't the "look before you leap" types, that's for sure. Tygra lucked out, but it looks like Pumyra's gotten everyone killed (not really of course).

Tygra and Pumyra shined in this episode with Tygra developing flying pilot abilities and beating the head Voltaire while Pumyra gets him to open the codes and tries to get the Tech Stone, but doesn't. The only thing I enjoyed from this episode was seeing the entire Thundercats together. Nice flashback from Leo's time after Mumm-Ra's ship arrives on Third Earth.

And that is where people don't understand. If you want hired to be a writer on the show, you are going to do what the producer wants.

Yeah, but he's not the only one coming up with story ideas. They have group meetings for that stuff. Frankly none of us know which ideas are his and which are someone else's so blaming him for everything is pointless.

Certain "shifts in characterization" make me question the validity of this actually being well planned from the start.

I loved this episode. The introduction of Vultaire was nice. I was hoping we would get an update to Vultureman at some point. Panthro's fear of heights was interesting to see. Though the highlight to this episode was definitely the Feliner, and Tygra's mad piloting skills. It's just too bad we'll most likely never see a toy representation of it (come on Bandai, prove me wrong...).
I'm definitely looking forward to the season finale. I just hope it doesn't end-up being the series finale too. I'm expecting it to be a great end to the season, but based on the lead-up to it, I can't imagine it working as a series finale too. |

Maybe Tigers were genetically designed by Mumm-Ra to be good pilots (if the whole Mumm-Ra made the animals theory is true).

I wouldn't be surprised... if the theory is true, which in turn would surprise me. But you don't just sit in an unfamiliar vehicle and make it work. Except in cartoons of course.

Did you even watch the episode? I seem to recall you saying you weren't going to watch it anymore after episode 13. I don't know why I keep seeing you in talkback threads. Especially when you never actually comment on the episode. You just come in and go "MJ BAD!"

this episode was pretty decent overall and i kind of enjoyed it. i like the vultureman character vultair and his fellow birds too. the art style as always in this series is amazing. i don't know if it is just me but this episode came off as filler-ish a bit. for a two part season finale, i would have thought this episode would set up for a much formidable threat (mum-ra & minions) leading to the second episode of the two part finale. still it was a good episode and i liked it. it seems that tygra and pumyra are cut from the same cloth because they are too similar in personality and in a weird way appearance too.

They do have the same head shape and in some ways hair pattern, all you have to do is extend Tygra's sideburns and hair length in the back. Their facial markings are very similar too.

He did spend several episodes bieng the butt monkey. Actually I'm more dissapointed with the fact he hasn't developed past his jerkisness with Lion-O despite several things that should have let him. And that some of the other Cat's haven't had much development. |

I'm not going to flame you, I'm too busy laughing. Maybe Cheetara can get a makeover that makes her look more like Lion-O and Tygra can tell her how hot it makes her look.

Where did he get his butt handed to him? In SS he became mecha tygra, what did lion-o do besides talk. Nothing. Tygra has outshined or been on equal level with lion-o the entire series. The only episode you could say lion-o was great was 16, but he got beat by tygra again. That is the theme of this series. Last edited by L08e16o; 06-09-2012 at 12:42 PM.. |

That wasn't a power-up...he wasn't himself either. |

I thought this episode was great. I like the design of the Feliner and I love the updated Vulterman. I always felt he was a "step above" the other mutants in the OS. Avista city was also very well designed.
Pumyra is quickly becoming my favorite of the cats if not for anything more then she actually makes things happen. Yes, her decisions can get the others into trouble but it makes for a more interesting story. Tygra being the one to pilot the space craft seems like a good choice and seemed more "natural". If it would have been Lion-O it would have been too much like the pod race in The Phantom Menace. It was also nice to see the cats actually use their weapons / powers (when Panthro was falling and the kittens space boards). My only gripe would be that it seems like they are going to try and pack A LOT of story into the season finale (how to take the stone without destroying Avista city as well as taking on Mummra and his army) and if it ends in a cliff hanger, well, I sure as hell hope we actually get another season. Only thing that sucks is we may never get a 6" Pumyra or Vultureman. |
