found a thundercat t shirt at walmart last night, i seen the advertisment i geuss you could call it for one that had just the logo, but it was out of stock. the one i got was the whole team, greatest parts were it was 7.50 and i found a double x... it is a cheap shirt, though, so it won't last long, and it will shrink. but 7.50 or whatever it was, is awesome..

i only got to watch the last 15 minutes of it, and just in them last 15 mins i seen how they fucked up the story. thundara blew up, jaga dies from aging on his way to the new closest planet to start the thundercats over after the thundercats are sent there in them capsule that make em age. mum-ra was on this new planet, he was not on thundara..
other than that, the animation, the similarities in comparison on the looks of the original were fantastic. i actually was liking what i was watching in the last 15 minutes of the show. other than the change of the story line, it was great. if they had not changed the story a bit, it would of been perfect. overall i think they did a pretty damn good job... if you had caught the whole show you would seen that this series is a indirect / loose sequel to the old series. like the way superman returns was to superman 2. not an exact sequel but almost. in this new series the thundercats came to 3rd earth just like in the old series from another world. and they fought and defeated mumm-ra and united all the races of 3rd earth just like they did in old series. now it's been thousands of years since the first thundercats came to 3rd earth and there descendents have founded a new thundera but now mumm-ra has returned. so the new series is more of a sequel to the 1st season of the old show and it's not counting events that happened in the second and 3rd seasons, mainly that the thundercats went back in time and saved thundera and left 3rd earth. but's still not an exact sequel to the first season. |

Yeah it has it's pluses and minuses
Pluses 1.Good animation. 2.The fact the orig voice actor of Lion-O comes out as the King, but I do not remember from the 85 version if their was a true king. 3.Snarf was more of a pet and not being a whiny wet nurse. 4.Very good story plot on 1st episode. 5.The battle scenes were epic. 6.Bringing all the main characters together in different roles rather than in one shot 7.Loved how they brought Slythe out for battle he has not changed 8.Sword of Omens was bigger than original. Sad here the minuses 1.Panthro killed off-really liked his character 2.Wilykat and Kit are mere pick pockets and not part of the team 3.Tygra is Lion-Os arrogant older brother? 4.Grune the Destroyer was mentioned too early 5.Where the rest of the villians I recall besides Reptilians they also had it in w/ Jackal and Ape mutants? Where were they? 6.Mumm-Ra on Thundera was cool, but not the same if he would ve been on 3rd Earth-also that he dies from SUNLIGHT??!! He's a mummy not a Vampire. 7.Killing off King set the new war, but they kill off the King and Jaga, Jaga shouldv'e stayed on for awhile until next episode. 8.Also Thundera look too much like something out of Robin Hood, in the original they lived in a land of higher being technology. 2. the show just started, there not part of the team just yet. 3. yes there brothers and yes tygra arrogant. in life people are arrogant so why not in a cartoon. they did also show his redeeming qualities, his love and loyalty to his father and brother so he's not a total prick. and it's far more interesting if a character has flaws that way we can see them evolve and grow. 4. too early...forget following the old show's progression. in this version of the thundercats grune appearence fit into the plot perfectly. 5. again the show just started, i'm sure will see other species in time. 6. there not on thundera, there on 3rd earth. where the thundercats have founded a kingdom called thundera. and i'm assuming it's named after there home planet thundera from which the first thundercats came from thousands of years earlier. maybe mumm-ra is a mummified vampire plus i'd rather him be sensitive to sunlight then to his own reflection. 7. the killing of claudus didn't set off the new war, that happened with the grune's betrayal and the invasion. what claudus's death did set off was lion-o ascension to king and his quest to find the book of omens. 8. again there not on thundera there on 3rd earth. and the thundercat did was once possess technology but it's been lost over the generations, which is was one of the main points of the series. given the fact that bandai is releasing a brand new thundertank based on this series i think it's safe to assume that will see the thundercats using hitech weapons and vehicles soon. |

Only watched the first 15 minutes, but my daughter and I are SOLD. Excellent show. Reminds me of how good the new version of Masters of the Universe was when it came out.

Well, Dan Norton has a huge hand in this like he had in GI Joe Resolute. I can tell because like Resolute this Thundercats is awesome.

My friend burned me a copy. I couldn't believe I was watching a cartoon made in 2011 that looked like the old 80's style. Everything these days looks like that overly stylized Transformers Animated garbage. I was expecting the same for Thundercats & I was expecting to hate it. But I loved it. I don't feel a need to waste money on the toys like everybody else does but at least I can enjoy the show. The original Thundercats show is boring as hell, this one isn't.

I really enjoyed it - it was a lot more mature than I expected it to be (even if it's still a bit preachy and heavy-handed) and there were a few surprises I didn't expect along the way...

Well, for your information, the animation studio doing Thundercats is the same one who did Transformers Animated |
