Totally agree. You could even have Tygra refusing to leave, despite Lion-O trying to pull him out of there. Something like "I've finally found out who I am...where I come from...where I belong and you want me to leave it all behind again?" blah, blah....ends the same. I could see it. Don't know why they did it that way.

And you could even have Tygra's dad telling him to take young Bengali with him, as he was born after the curse came down on them or something...it could have been a whole B-story that could have been told to Lion-O by Bengali, while Tygra was off learning the truth. Or his family was away from the clan when it happened and returned with the new born only to be killed by their former clan. Lots of stuff you could have done here, that would have put it over the top.

So... every character has some horrible backstory where their parents die a traggic death? I wonder what happen to Panthro's folks...

They died a tragic death.

No, I'm kidding. Grune's his father/brother.

Rama · « **Reply #576 on:** Apr 27, 2012, 12:55:32 AM »

Oh I like that. Doubt I'll end up seeing this though since they only play it Sat and Sun morning. Do they put these up on CN's website after they air like say CBS or TBS does for some of their shows?

B E C K · « **Reply #577 on:** Apr 27, 2012, 01:25:26 AM »

I don't think so but I don't know for certain. You mean they don't rerun their show into the dirt like with Korra?

Rama · « **Reply #578 on:** Apr 27, 2012, 01:54:21 AM »

Not Thundercats. None of those Friday night/Saturday Morning toons. And if they run something into the ground it is Ben 10. It is just Thundercats is on Sat morning, and then the only repeat is Sun. morning at the exact same time. So if you didn't get up in time on Sat...you're probably not gonna get up on Sun either.

I just wish they did like they do with Korra and have it on the morning, and then a repeat at night. Avengers use to do that. It was on Sun. morning, but replayed on Wed. night. That was until they just moved it to Sun. night back to back with that terrible Ultimate Spider-Man. Blech!

So that Ultimate Spider-Man thing really is awful? I thought maybe I was just getting old and disagreeable.

blanktoe · « **Reply #580 on:** Apr 27, 2012, 05:02:33 AM »

I don't think it's awful. It just has too many characters you don't care about. And I'm really getting sick of Marvel force feeding Nick Fury down our throats.

joe · « **Reply #581 on:** Apr 27, 2012, 01:19:29 PM »

I'm just fed up in general with all the synergy that goes on in comics these days. Every character is in every other character's book. There's no separation or individuality anymore.

"Well, because these are supposed to be cohesive universes!"

Fuck that. If I want to read a Hulk story, I don't want him running into Wolverine, Reed Richards, or Man-Thing every other issue.

It's pretty much ruined my ability to enjoy anything in the mainstream these days.

If I were forced to prune down my reading to the bare necessities, it would be nothing but Invincible and B.P.R.D./Hellboy.

joe you're canadian right? what do you think of the real housewives of vancouver? i fucking LOVE IT

ps: i didnt know vancouver was so pretty :3

joe · « **Reply #583 on:** Apr 27, 2012, 11:39:30 PM »

I am Canadian, aren't I?

I saw the first episode at a friend's house, it seems about on par with the other Real Housewives shows.

But their surgically-altered faces scare the shit out of me.

Rama · « **Reply #584 on:** Apr 28, 2012, 03:53:04 AM »

I do think Ultimate Spider-Man is awful. It is like Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends (which I liked, and why I'm a Spider-Man fan to this day) and Teen Titans had a bastard child.

The only thing I like is I feel they got Spider-Man/Peter Parker's character right. It feels like Spider-Man, but everything else is shit. I wish this was just a Spider-Man show. No Shield, No Nick Fury, No Power Man, Nova, Iron First and especially White Tiger which for some reason I really loathe. Now I'd like to see a "Heroes For Hire" show with Power-Man and Iron Fist, but I don't want them in a Spider-Man show. Spectacular Spider-Man was great and I was really pissed when they canceled that.

That's probably why they put them on a show with Spider-man so kids will become familiar with them but White Tiger is a really odd choice. It would have made more sense for them push Spider-Woman.

Rumor has it Avengers EMH is getting shit canned for an Ultimate Avengers show.

I was playing catchup on downloaded eps, but I gave up when those robo-Ewoks appeared

Ha! Can't say I blame you.

The Pumyra episode was pretty good, though.

Saw this at thundercats.ws:

At Anime Matsuri, Matthew Mercer, the voice of Tygra on the new Thundercats cartoon, held a panel. In it he candidly discussed where the series stands and how it's doing. Here are some bullet points from the panel, courtesy of LioConvoy at the Thundercats Lair Forums:

• Cartoon Network is supposedly skeptical about doing Season 2
• Season 2 (second 26 episodes) have been ordered, but not yet produced
• Toys were not selling well to kids
• Thundercats moved to Saturdays to draw more kids in to buy the toys and watch the show
• Cartoon ratings have at least doubled since move to Saturday mornings
• He said watching it legally, and buying the merchandise is best way to support the franchise

Rama · « **Reply #589 on:** Apr 29, 2012, 11:52:55 PM »

I'm glad the rating doubled, but man I wish they have a night time rerun.

The Thundercat 6 inch figures are actually on clearance at my local Wal-Mart and I thought about picking them up. Oddly the Classic Thundercats were not on clearance.

I wanted to chell out the Pumyra ep and it wasn't terrible. The show still appears to have this annoying habit of "quickie-resolutions": Pumyra, like Panthro, initially rejected Lion-O and then does a 180 at the end. It would be better to see them gradually warm up to and respect Lion-O instead of being all "i luv j00, my king" at the closing of the episode. The initial plot of a disgruntled enslaved Thundercat was actually interesting as was the prospect of freeing teh slaves and Pantho's friendship with what's-his-face dog-face former-slave-guy. But that racoon-thief subplot was dull-ass.

And Lion-O is still basically a know-it-all, spoiled brat. He's just not a likable hero at all. And why didn't he have Cheetara and Tygra with him to free Pumyra? I mean, I know Panthro wouldn't have gone along with the idea but other two seem to be relatively obedient subjects.

I wouldn't pitch a fit if they did make another season but if this show doesn't get renewed, nothing would be lost really.

I know right? Reiko looks like a tranny. You know you've had too many surgeries when you start looking like a transexual. And don't even let me start with Ronnie (I'm jelly tho, shes filthy rich)
What surprised me is that they drink ALL DAY ERRYDAY. Like "hey lets have lunch? ok lets order a couple of martinis too" "want to get a ferrari? ok have some champagne"

I won't be watching it.
