Bren Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I'm very surprised no one has posted a thread about this so far, so I'll do it. This new series and incarnation of the beloved story has now been going on for 3 weeks, and I have to say I'm pretty impressed. I'm not saying that it's better than the original, because the original is awesome, and a major classic of the last century (millennium). The animation is crisp and beautiful, and a lot of work has been put into the artwork of the show, including a gorgeous soundtrack which really helps to set the mood. A few major aspects have been changed, for example Lion-o being a teenager and Snarf being unable to speak, but I don't think these are show killers at all. All in all, I think that anyone skeptical about this new series should give it a chance. I've heard a lot of my friends say they would never watch it because they think it will ruin the original. The way I see it, it's not trying to replace or be the original. It's a great stand-alone series in and of itself and a very enjoyable show. I really hope Cartoon Network sticks with it until the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 The only thing it's really lacking is the original theme song. I haven't seen this week's ep, but I really liked the pilot. Great action and voice acting. The second episode was a bit of a Moby Dick pastiche; I don't think it was a very strong second episode. I think this is one of those shows that will get better as they delve further into the mythology of the world. I'm on board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it a lot so far. From the various hints they've dropped throughout the show, I get the impression that these Thundarians are the descendants of the original ThunderCats, or at least some loosely interpreted version of them. Really looking forward to future episodes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brushfire Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 The new TC fixes an age old problem with the first show. Snarf doesnt talk. This show is boss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly CN doesn't want it being uploaded there, but with them showing new episodes only once a week some people will inevitably miss an episode. CN.com also has an episode viewer (for participating TV providers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Technically last week's was the third episode, not the second, and that's probably how it will be listed in the DVD release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelCityOutlaw Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Proof or it didn't happen. Nvm, google reveals it's horseshit actually. He does do music but for some reason there's this rumor going around that he made that theme. Damn. =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bren Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 Panthro's new design kind of looks like Jet Black. I think it's a good look for him though. He's totally huge too in his new look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sindra Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I totally loved the Lynx-O cameo in the pilot. I'm really hoping he comes back, and we get to see some Pumyra and Bangali. And first time seeing the Thundertank (which was pretty damn close to the original design) brought a tear to me eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
