I loved it. Seems like a lot of potential for deep story arcs.

I thought it was awesome. I'm still pretty forgiving of a lot of the original show's flaws, but this show had an amazing amount of depth for a first episode, gave a ton of story and mythology structure without seeming like one long exposition sequence, awesome animation and action scenes...

...The only thing missing was the classic theme music, but I'll forgive them, for now... as long as they can keep the vibe going. I called all the plot twists a mile away, but that doesn't mean they weren't well-done. I totally buy into the new storyline and mythology, much better set-up than the original. I can see three or four whole seasons worth of storylines coming right out of this first episode. Killer job.

Reminded me a LOT of the newer Masters of the Universe show, especially the tone and the action scenes. Makes me want them to try that show again. What I REALLY want, is for MotU to come back and do a cross-over animated movie with this new Thundercats.

Also since I'm dreaming I'd like a motorcycle.

I'd love a Thundercats/MOTU crossover in fact I've always wanted one. It'll never happen but hey, if we're dreaming...

Well maybe it will happen. After all Superman has teamed up with both groups over the years....

Superman first encountered He-man in 1976. I believe it was a one shot. I think I read another one tho where he once again went to the MOTU. There's also a DCU vs MOTU toyline as of 2010 that comes with the Superman vs He-Man comic: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index...ductId=3904364

In 2003 there was a cool one shot where the Thundercats ended up in the DCU.

~~Leo656~~ · 08-02-2011, 09:44 PM

Only problem there is that He-Man wasn't created until 1982, as was I... both He-Man and Superman have had some time travel issues in the past, but yeah, not that time... If I remember correctly, the DC Comics Presents was actually from 1983, not '76. And it's a fun piece to track down, as the mythology for the He-Man universe wasn't finalized and the cartoon was years away, so the characters and story were quite different, the biggest difference being that everyone from Eternia spoke ye olde English. GK, I'd bet half a glazed donut that you either have or have read that issue.

The Superman/'Cats cross-over was also awesome. Makes me wish they'd do more, for a cross-over the plot actually flowed quite well. Track it down, 99% of those early 2000s Thundercats books were sweet as hell.
