Thundercats 2011

[sdp]

I'm a bit mixed with the new designs, now with that said I don't hate them and I am pretty hyped about the show. The original show looked like anime from that time while the new one like current anime, I can see the problem some people have with the "anime look" even if it was there in the original.

Lion-O - His teenage instead of adult look is interesting, I don't hate it but I don't love it either. If they follow the original shows origin (he's a kid in a grown body) then he'll technically be the same age as the original show.

Tygra a bit younger but he looks good, probably the least changed.

Cheetara almost the same age as her original version, I wish she was wearing her leotard though and her boobs seem too big but I don't mind the fanservice replacing the leotard. I also love her re-design, never liked her before and I already like her version better.

Panthro looks odd since he is made to look older while the rest are all made to look younger unlike the original show where they were all roughly around the same age (I think) but it was probably done to have differeny dynamics. I can see the argument that in the original he was buff but also fast/slender and here he just seems like a beast

Snarf Ok we haven't seen him but I just heard the interview where they mention he doesn't talk I know people hated Snarf but I always liked him and it'll suck having him be more of a pet instead of a character.


So yeah my opinion is mixed because I like the designs but I didn't absolutely love them either. I am very much looking forward to the show though, I just hope they follow the original shows mythology which they actually had an interesting one and it had a pretty big cast which I enjoyed so I hope the big cast continues here and its not just the above 4 that get all the attention. Also while it may be silly now I remember as a little kid Thundercats felt pretty dark when compared to the other cartoons that aired, I hope the new show is also darker when compared to the mood of other current cartoons. I'm a bit bummed that it'll be a reboot, at least it seems to be that way but I guess the original show got a very decent run of 100+ episodes and a decent finale to close the series. The new Voltron is actually a continuation of the original shows (and even Voltron The Next dimension of the 90s). Out of the 80s shows I caught on re-runs in the early 90s Thundercats are definitely my favorites, looking forward to the new show and glad we didn't get that Jossie and the Pussycats inspired Thundercats mystery solving revival from a few years ago.
