Well, that sucks major ass. I guess it's still better than getting a rap theme.

There's a far better chance of aDam cosplaying Cheetara.

They actually do this little psych-out thing that makes you think there's going to be an intro, but then there isn't.

joe · « **Reply #216 on:** Aug 07, 2011, 01:36:22 AM »

I agree. I'm usually anti-intro, but not for cartoons.

Cartoons need intros, man. And they need to be excessively awesome, to the point where the show itself can never live up to the hype.

The original Thundercats captured this ideal perfectly.

Yeah that was bullshit. Like a few notes of the theme to make you think they are gonna do it and then just "Thundercats" and that's it. BAH!

and I didn't really notice it in the previews or the first episode, but now I'm hearing Terry McGinnis every time Lion-O opens his mouth. So thanks for that Beck.

Yeah, same here.

RUINED.

I think hearing Mr. Krabs every time Lex Luthor or Grune speaks is much worse.

B E C K · « **Reply #220 on:** Aug 08, 2011, 11:32:15 PM »

Poor Clancy Brown. He has a great sound but I have the same problem with it that you do. The funny thing is I didn't hear his other roles when he voiced Long Feng (in Avatar) or Captain Black (in Jackie Chan Adventures) even though it's pretty much the same damn voice. Grune should've been re-casted as someone else. Him, Lion-O, and Panthro, but Kevin Michael Richardson could stay as Lynx-o.

I don't know about this show anymore. Maybe I'll stop watching it week to week, then just marathon it all at the end of the season, skipping all the crappy crap.

That way I can enjoy what little there is to be enjoyed without it being overshadowed by all the shortcomings.

blanktoe · « **Reply #223 on:** Aug 13, 2011, 07:49:34 AM »

I enjoyed yesterdays episode but i'd really like to hear what you didn't like.

joe · « **Reply #224 on:** Aug 13, 2011, 12:20:55 PM »

How about I tell you what I did like instead?

I liked it when Panthro showed up with the Thundertank for about 30 seconds at the very end of the episode.

Rodent of Unusual Size · « **Reply #225 on:** Aug 13, 2011, 09:43:49 PM »

I liked it, too, but that clip had been released earlier this week. I was all ready for some Panthro action, but all I got was flower children.

That said, this episode wasn't bad. It was better than last week. But when are we gonna get past all this "ah, life is precious, and Lion-O must grow up" bullshit?

IDE · « **Reply #226 on:** Aug 13, 2011, 11:13:10 PM »

This ep was great and intelligent in a way that today's american youth aren't used to being spoken to.

I was moved.

B E C K · « **Reply #227 on:** Aug 14, 2011, 01:26:37 AM »

I could see the brilliance of this episode but at the same time I was also very bored. Which made me feel kinda bad because the plant whos or whatever were kinda cool. I think it would've had more impact if we had seen those plant guys running around and then this episode came later in the season and I would've been "oh shit, you mean those singing fucks only live one day!? what a tweeest!". But as it stood, I didn't care like I thought I should've. Still liked the plant guys tho'. Those villains are kinda dull. I don't know why I think that because it was kinda neat how that one guy went all chameleon and they were tracking the TCs by the buried fish heads but meh. I enjoyed seeing Panthro smack one in the face but not because I thought Panthro was that damn cool but because those lizard-things are so blah I wanted to punch them.

Also, it didn't help that last week's episode was weak. Lion-O attitude did a complete 180 in the span of about 24 minutes when they could've (A) had this be a plot point that must be overcome (such as bitchy Leo in the Turtles reboot where he stayed that way for several episodes) or (B) not have done this episode at all. If it was gone, would anyone miss it? Would they be able to tell? Would they care? I know I wouldn't. I mean, when I first saw the sand sea I was like "oh cool" but then they didn't do much with it. (See Avatar:TLA Book 2 for how to do good "heroes in the desert" episodes.)

tl;dr - I really want to like this show more but at least it's better than Young Justice.

They seem to just be going through the standard Sci-Fi story plots with this show. First we get "Mody Dick" rip off episode and now we get the "Brief Candle" episode. I'm half expecting to get the "Ground Hog Day" episode next. And did any one NOT know that guy was going to die and make everyone sad as soon as we found out they only lived a day? I mean really...It would have been more of a surprise if he DIDN'T die at the end of the episode.

And I knew Panthro was showing up as soon as Lion-O flash the Thundercat symbol into the sky. I think that's the first time that has happened in the show and that's a call to all Thundercats. If he was close...he would show up, and since he was overdue I knew he was showing up. And it is sad when the Thundertank gets a better intro that most of the rest of the cast. Speaking of the cast Cheetra is still way ahead in that department. Less is more, it seems. Then Wily Kitt and Katt are next. Tygra made a slight rebound last week, only to lose it this week. Lion-O was better,but it came out of left field and I'm starting to just think he is bi-polar or something.

I really wish they'd just cut all this bullshit and get on with it. I could have done without these last two episodes. They are just filler. Just got straight from escaping Thundera, cornered by Mutants, flash the Thundercat symbol, Pantro shows up, and then we go on from there. Easy.

I'm still hoping it gets better and this just a sad attempt to lay groundwork for amazing stuff later, cause like Beck...I want to like this show.

I got choked up when the little plant fuckers rallied.

Stop analyzing everything so hard and just let it wash over you, pretend you're sleeping and I'm standing at the foot of your bed masturbating. You're not gonna stop and wonder what my motivation is you're just gonna get bathed in divine nectar.

[WHAT RAMA SAID]

Yeah, imo, we shouldn't be getting this kind of filler until the standard "the core cast of heroes gets seperated and have to look for one another and, oh look, we're havin' an adventure" episode. The pirates and the little plant dudes got waaay more character development in the last two eps than the Thundercats aside from Lion-O and, yeah, he's like seriously bipolar or sumthin'. Poor Tygra's getting ripped off, too. They might as well not have had him around and Lion-O thinks he died. Tygra could've reappeared somewhere more interesting. Wasted opportunity.

Hey, let's try to call that shit. There's the "meet our evil doubles/alternate dimension" selves. Goatee Lion-O, ho!

Ah..Mirror/Mirror Lion-O.

But if Abraham Lincoln shows up to aid Lion-O, then I'm walking.

I got it...Mum-Ra is on the wing of the Plane, but no one believes Lion-O.

There better be some berbils. Aint nothin wrong with that.

Chopper Face 69 · « **Reply #237 on:** Aug 16, 2011, 02:16:06 PM »

What's a Berbil? I keep hearing this word.

Anyway this show is pretty much all kinds of awesome. Filler? Who fucking cares if the episode is awesome! Both "filler" episodes have presented interesting and original new characters with a compelling story. Oh it's a bit cliche? The alternative is some shitty show where they fight a new bad guy every week. Sci fi like stories are a best case here.

B E C K · « **Reply #238 on:** Aug 16, 2011, 04:15:03 PM »

Maybe I cared because I didn't find it all that awesome as I had wanted to. But since I'm still cleaning up the projectile vomit from my viewing of the new Voltron, I do still look forward to this show each week.

Rama · « **Reply #239 on:** Aug 16, 2011, 05:05:37 PM »

Ugh...I tried to watch Voltron online. I couldn't even get past the first five minutes.
