oh yeah, my bad :D:D
Justv watched ep 4 yesterday. I quite enjoyed it. There are some fairly mature themes coming up here.
I was even a little moved by the plant dude in ep 4.:o
I think I could continue watching this, but yeh, definitely need to see a bit more on the bad guys, especially considering how they all look fairly similar, compared to the cats which are all very distinct from one another. toy wise, I wouldn't be surprised if there are a really small amount of bad guys (Mumm-Ra, tooth guy and a couple of lizards which look the same).
Be cool to see some awesome mechs for the cats later on as well :D
The new Thundercats is a great show, it puts all other remakes to shame.
If only Transformers could get a show this mature, and as beautifully done as Thundercats.
I'm loving the new show. Even though the animation style would be familiar to anyone that watches CN, the storyline is what makes it great.
I'm up to episode 4 (probably going to watch it tonight) and I can't wait to see what happens.
so i am the only one finding this show tiresome:confused:
It seems ok, not as good as TMNT 2002 or the New He-man.
It's a little early for me to conclusively judge but yeah it isn't as good as TMNT 2002. However it may be on par with He-Man 2002 as that show also had it's odd episodes like the last Thundercat one which was a little odd.Quote:

Wasn't bad, although I find it irritating that Lion-O is wanting to be a leader and order others around, even when he makes stupid decisions. I thought he would have learnt that in episode 3...
Is Panthro the same voice guy as Prime's Bulkhead?
Will probably keep watching because I am not really watching anything else episodic at the moment. And I like cats.
I thought ep 5 was awesome!! some action finally! Nah isn't the old series about Lion-o learning and growing up to be king? I'm guessing this is the same. He is still young and is going to make bad decisions and im guessing as the series goes on he'll become wiser and grow and make better decisions.
its not like he wanted to be king it was thrown at him after his dad passed away.
Previews for episode 6 is up and it looks good too! IMO i think this series is fantastic can't get enough of it, can't say the same for TF:prime :p
@ Tet's: from the sound of it , yes I think it's the same voice actor.... the guy who does the voice of the Shark bounty hunter in Lilo and Stitch heheehhe:D. Whenever I hear that voice I can't help but smile even though he is portraying a whole different character, I just can't help but see past that Shark guy. Same when I hear Kree summers voice - she does Number 5 in Kids Next Door and Foxxy Love on Drawn together - the voice isn't so versatile (sounds the same no matter what character you slap it on), so easily identifiable, yet so in demand.:D:D
On the Lion-O being king thing, If Tygra is older, why isn't he first in line for the throne. They are brothers aren't they? Unless Tygra is adopted or something.
Not sure how species and stuff works in the Thundercats world...:p I guess it's OK, coz Lion-O seems to like Cheetara.
I really enjoyed ep 5... mostly because it had more Mumm-Ra in it :cool: I get the feeling that the story is really building up to something, which is what TF:Prime doesn't do all that well.
i did enjoy this episode as well, i find myself looking forward to the next episode over all other shows.
i do wonder how long before we do see other bad guys tho jackleman etc..
Whoa man! Just keeps getting better!! Watched it live was fantastic!!! :) I highly reccommend it, can't wait for next week!!!
Ancient Spirits of Evil: Transform this decayed form, into Mumm-Ra!! - The Ever-Living!!!
hint - search for thundercats.2011.s01e06.hdtv.xvid-fqm
Enjoyable episode 6 was. So if Mumm-Ra just needs his own magics to en-biggen himself, why isn't he always like that?
Love his tank thing too!:D
Wonder whats next (Spoliers) now that they found the Book o Omens?
Ep6 was the best one yet! Mumm-Ra has a sweet ride.
I can't remember if it was mentioned in the show or if I just read it somewhere but Tygra is adopted. :)Quote:

Have been watching a bit of the original thunderctas as I never watched it before. I thought I was growing out of cartoons at the time it was out, but it was made in 1985 apparently.
So, I am about 6 episodes in, and now I see why I never watched it. I must have seen an episode or two and thought the show was crap, because it's awful! Odd though, as I liked the design of the figures enough to have owned a MUmm-Ra somewhere along the lines (I think I still have his awesome sword around somewhere).
I keep watchign thinking, maybe it will get better, but it doesn't. lol. Sorry, I've tried... I still like the design of the classic characters (and bought the 8inch Lion-o!) but I can't handle anymore of Lion-o raoming around the planet until one of his friends gets in trouble, then he uses the sword to d=find them and blah blah blah...
Might just stick with the new show for watching and play with the classic figures!:D
A couple of years ago I watched the whole thing. It was more of an endurance test than anything else. Although the characters and world are awesome, the episode to episode stories are horrible, specially those by this guy called William Overgard. He introduces all these wacky characters and has no concept of the vaguest sense realism (even by 80s cartoon standards) so nothing makes any sense whatsoever like a trippy dream.Quote:

It's certainly a series where it's best to watch the odd episode rather than the whole thing or you will kill brain cells.
Huge cameos coming up in this weeks episode;
click link if you want spoilers
I am so excited by these cameos, I certainly hope it leads to more
ep07 was really good.
seems like this show will have its highs and lows but im happy to follow it.
hmmm so prolly the Silverhawks and Tigersharks will indeed be humanoid animals then in this new TC universe, instead of the (if you really think deep and hard about it)creepy , macabre, freaky origin they were presented in the first version. That would be acceptable for me.Quote:

As for the Silverhawks - I would not for the life of me trade my flesh and blood to become something like Robocop - I mean that's just ... inhuman ( robocop I view as well - inhuman) would you like to have your head mounted on a robotic body sans nuts and all the good bits;):p... seriously they have - copper kid- it's a kid he has a whole life ahead of him and they mutilated the child!!! Someone should've censored these toons way back. It would've been more better if it was armor, heck no it's your body now you eunuch!:eek: SO after Monstaarrs defeat, what then... you cant go back to what you were...
So that is what it feels like when your childhood gets raped ;)Quote:

I like how they do episodes to establish the groundwork/background to firmly elaborate and further create the Thundercats lore/universe better and more in depth.
I loved the last episode, this series gets better and better. I like origin stories and this sort of sets up the background but I wish they could have stretched it to 2 episodes at least. They could have gone more in depth into the forging of the sword too but it’s like ok here’s some random smith and now here’s your sword. Don’t worry about the hole, the square stone will fit just fine.
yeah i enjoyed this episode and i do agree would hav ebeen nice to stretch out the story just a bit!! nonetheless awesome! :)
I know in the future world the Sliverhawks come from they clone the team new bodys after they win the battle with Monstar :D Copper kid was not human so they dont really care about him. They just leave him to rot back at base when they leave.:DQuote:

well stretching it could have ruined the story - the writing for this show is on a fine line of greatness/mediocrity.Quote:

the stones if you recall changed shapes/sizes - basically whatever was best for the wielder. its a magical stone of red lazer beams and lightning summoning... there's not much feasability there.
Really enjoyed ep8. I wanted a story about swords and they dedicate a whole episode to it!
I watch until epi7, and felt that the makers must really like Starwars :D
Just watched episode 8, the Drifter and the Duelist. I really enjoyed it! I quite liked the character of the Drifter, especially the way he would float around and get stuck on things, really adds to his drifter theme. It kind of adds to the 'magic' of the world in the character development for him
*Spoilers*
In that he had the ability to stabilise himself once he regained his purpose and was no longer floating on the wind*end of spoiler*
A nice low-key episode showing that not all episodes have to be about action and excietment. You can also see the little lessons that Lion-O is learning to make him a better leader.
Yep, enjoying the series quite a bit.
I think it was episode 10 that I just finished. Magi forest or something. Looks like the writers may have been playing Okami, with the paper magic theme in this one, which I really liked. Wasn't a bad ep either, with an interesting morale.
So as for good guys we have Liono Tygra, Panthro, Wilykat/kat, Cheetara and Snarf. Any more regular goodies? Also interesting to note that they have managed to avoid using Mumm-Ra and his underlings for a pretty big batch of episodes now. Hopefully when he shows up again he will kick all sorts of bottom!
Watched it today at channel 9. is this the first episode? omens part 1
yup, first ep.
I caught the start on kids WB. Curious to see if the toys will show themselves soon...
i just don't think the new Lionle has the same effect. His a bit non leader material and doesn't have that strong presence, well for the episode i saw (pirate ship, desert) Also i though the chick was hit and miss. i have not caught the episodes on tv after that. dunno where it went.
try viewing it at www.animeflavor.com they have alternate video sources as well if one of the video links don't work. Which is good coz some of the viideo links either freeze up in the middle or just wouldn't play so at least I get the options and don't miss out on the episodes. He gets a bit better in the leadership thing later on... only a bit ;P They're well away from what is being shown in TV episodes wise but oon hiatus at the moment - cliffhanger end of season episode with a twist - didnt see that coming kinda thing ;). It gets better...Quote:
