Oh yeah...the old Thundercats show has really held up well over the years.

Come on, Beck. You gotta give this show at least a season or two before you're ready to pass judgment on it.

Yeh jist gots ta!

pfft not really, shows never get better after the first season. They always stay the same.

I'd actually say it's adequate for kids w/o "more than". Pretty-looking, passable, similar enough to the source material to not make any waves. They'll watch it with their friends while eating Cheetos and texting. And that's it.

And as a child, I never thought of anything as "the greatest thing on television". In fact, it was a pretty binary system of "like/dislike" until I was about "adult price at the movies". Just putting that out there.

There wasn't something that you loved above all else?

That's weird to me. I knew what I liked and what I liked the most.

But I was being serious.

Wow...two good episodes in a row. In fact this one was better then the last one. Lion-O and Tygra have it out, Grune and Panthro go at it. Mumm-Ra shows up too. And a half expected Tygra to yell "THIS IS SPARTA!!!" at one point. I won't say when, as to not ruin it, but you'll know it when you see it.

B E C K · « **Reply #486 on:** Nov 27, 2011, 10:10:37 PM »

Ho~~oh!

I think Lion-O even kinda screamed the same as pit-guy, too.

B E C K · « **Reply #487 on:** Nov 27, 2011, 10:16:50 PM »

Granted, I skipped through the last half because I was only interested in seeing the Tygra and Cheetara scene so someone tell me, why didn't Panthro pull Grune part of the way through and let his ass get all chop-chopped?

Rama · « **Reply #488 on:** Nov 28, 2011, 12:31:14 AM »

Because then he wouldn't have got his arms chopped off...and....huh.....

B E C K · « **Reply #489 on:** Nov 28, 2011, 01:26:22 AM »

That's really kinda horrifying btw. For teh childrens. I mean, I remember seeing shows with characters who had cyber-parts and shit when I was a kid, but I never saw the damn stumps. Seeing the guy missing both of his arms like that.... ech. And weird blue aura on the ends looked like an old-school Funimation edit to cut out the blood.

Rama · « **Reply #490 on:** Nov 28, 2011, 01:52:19 AM »

What's gonna be more fucked up is when Grune shows up again with Panthro Arm-chucks.

B E C K · « **Reply #491 on:** Nov 28, 2011, 06:19:44 PM »

Awk~ward.

Rama · « **Reply #492 on:** Nov 28, 2011, 09:22:41 PM »

I am a little curious on how exactly they are gonna deal with that. I mean the only one that could make cyber arms or some other way out is Panthro...which he can't do with no arms. And now Tygra is gonna have to drive the Tank I guess.

I am glad that Cheetra picked Tygra. Although if she was always down for him then she shouldn't have lead Lion-O on...and she should have told him sooner before he let the thought of losing her drive him so crazy. She probably could have handled that better.

B E C K · « **Reply #493 on:** Nov 29, 2011, 12:42:02 AM »

Yeah, I thought that, too. She was clearly flirting with Lion-O but had already long since decided on Tygra? She knows they're brothers with visible tensions between them. Not the type where the other would laugh it off with "I guess I lose this one, bro" and pat the victor on the shoulder. That's kinda mean. I guess we can attribute that error to her youth but she did initially seem smarter than that. I liked that she chose him, too, though. Sorry, your kingness, you can't have everything.

Seeing how they started off the whole Panthro thing, I picture more arm-less jokes at the poor guy's expense. I mean, he makes that big heroic sacrifice and in his next scene we have a joke with Snarf and then Lion-O's all "pfft, no one betrayed me, Dumbo" and the other two are making out. Next ep, Lion-O will be all "Hey Panthro, need a hand there? OH, sorry." Like I said, it's pretty horrifying when you think about it. Shit, both arms amputated. They have to play with jokes or that it's not a big deal and get it resolved quickly or all the kiddos watching at home will freak out and cry.

Saw this thing on tumbler though and lol'ed:

Rama · « **Reply #494 on:** Nov 29, 2011, 03:22:14 AM »

Yeah can't wait till next episode.

"Alright....Tygra, Cheetra...you take the guards on the left. Panthro...you disarm the ones on the right. Oh...oh, did I say disarm? Sorry."

Course this is a world of magic...So I guess it is possible for Panthro to get his arms back some how.

B E C K · « **Reply #495 on:** Nov 29, 2011, 05:33:56 PM »

Magic's the only way to go. No one wants to see a gross operation.

Know you shared this on FB, but am sharing it here:

The picture looks exactly how I'd imagine they'd cast it.

I laughed through that whole thing too.

"ThunderCats has a great story, endearing characters, action, adventure, space-travel, and fantasy. It will be an honor to run it into the ground."

After hearing of this, I'm not sure I want to catch up. I only watched the pilot.

B E C K · « **Reply #499 on:** Nov 30, 2011, 01:50:41 AM »

It's a downhill ride. You could probably just see no. 6 "Journey to the Tower of Omens" and the last half of this one, no. 13 "Between Brothers" and only be missing about 8% of the story so far. These elephant characters appear to be sticking around but fuck 'em. And Lion-O and co. are looking for some stones and fuck those, too. Almost every other ep has been Lion-O helps ______ (insert some fuckin' animal) and gains _______ (insert an item, character, or lesson) in return. I guess it's about him helping all of dem animals and bringing teh peace to the world or some shit but it's kinda disappointing in how they (the makers of this show) go about it.

AND STILL NO THEME SONG. A TRAVESTY.

It's funny how you hate the show yet you still watch it.

*runs away*

B E C K · « **Reply #501 on:** Dec 01, 2011, 09:22:59 PM »

I stopped watching full episodes after episode 6. People at another board I lurk at watch it, so I get updated on what happens. I only went back to view the Cheetara/Tygra/Lion-O love triangle related stuff because I wanted to know how they addressed it. I told Merla about what went down and she got mad. I guess she was Lion-O once upon a time. "I don't even watch it and I don't like Cheetara!"

IDE · « **Reply #502 on:** Dec 08, 2011, 12:50:04 PM »

Oh looks like the show actually did get better...funny how that works.

B E C K · « **Reply #503 on:** Dec 08, 2011, 09:03:50 PM »

I don't really think it "got better". My favorite episodes are still the first two. Anyway, apparently the last ep was the season finale. Meh.

Chopper Face 69 · « **Reply #504 on:** Dec 09, 2011, 07:44:44 AM »

Got caught up last night. Tygra needs to die. I really thought they were going to make him a villain and that would have been pretty cool. Really though Eric Matthews needs to get all Terry McGuinness on that fucker with Ron Stoppable furry. That guy's a traitorous bitch guilty of Regicide and should be trated as such.

Also when that one kitten saw the frog guy die and whey just showed the gun on the ground I thought he was going to pick it up and get all bad ass... but he didn't. Still that's some serious shit. Usually we just see random violence but this show is like "Hey, this kid just saw some fucker get killed, and it's gonna fuck him up, and that's the serious business world of Thundercats!".

Dude losing his arms was so funny. "I'm all right". Dude you lost both arms like 2 hours ago. Let the stupid Narf guy spoon feed you and lie down or something.

Caught the new episode, kinda by accident.

It was pretty good actually. Panthro gets his new arms. Lion-O is not happy about Cheetara/Tygra thing and she makes it all better by telling him he never really had a chance anyway. Yeah! That makes a guy feel great. Monkian and Jackelman show up in the episode as well. They give them names, but I can't remember them. I know one sounded like Atticus, but that just makes me think of To Kill a Mocking Bird. But the one downer of the whole episode is at the end....Thunder-RV. That's all I'll say about that.

B E C K · « **Reply #507 on:** Mar 26, 2012, 02:35:57 AM »

Thunder-RV? Do they go Thunder-camping? (Which is pretty much what they were doing anyway, I guess.)

joe · « **Reply #508 on:** Mar 26, 2012, 03:42:03 AM »

It's basically like a huge fucking trailer that makes the Thundertank about four times as big as it is normally. I imagine the toy is quite pricey. Oh, and it's piloted from a Star Trek-esque bridge by a crew of Berbils. Gag.

I hate that Monkian and Jackalman now have even stupider names. I hate their generic voices, which are devoid of any personality and sound absolutely nothing like the originals. I hate that they were enlisted by Mumm-Ra as "generals" but were immediately sent out into battle like fodder only to have their asses kicked.

I hate Panthro's Inspector Gadget arms.

I don't like what's being done with this show. I'm having a hard time finding anything to enjoy about it. I was really looking forward to having the classic team of "mutants" reunite, and now that I've seen their new-school treatment I just want them to go away again.

Rama · « **Reply #509 on:** Mar 26, 2012, 12:07:10 PM »

Oh come on you didn't like the part where Panthro had Berbil arms?

And I think I kinda blocked out Panthro doing his best Reed Richards impression to beat up the Mutants. I liked Jackelman till he said "At least I have the voices in my head to talk too." that just seemed one step too far and no one that is really crazy ever says anything like that.
