Thundercats 2011 - Page 10

It still feels like it's sooooo far away to me haha.

~~Leo656~~ · 07-18-2011, 11:18 PM

So far, my only huge problem is the timing. I've waited my whole life for a Thundercats resurgence, even had to suffer the STUPIDITY of people my own age asking me, "What's Thundercats?", and now that it's finally happening I don't have the money to spend on all the toys and junk that I know I'm gonna want. GAH!

The world premier will be at Comic Con on Friday at 3:30. But yeah the tv premier is the 29th on Cartoon Network at 8pm ET/PT

Oh! Looks like the plot has been revealed!

Quote:

After Thundera is attacked by the lizard people, Lion-O leads the ThunderCats on a quest for the Book of Omens, the one artifact that could guide them to victory. But he'll have to face villains like the ancient evil sorceror Mumm-Ra and the dangerous lizard general Slythe. Luckily, he has the Sword of Omens and its amazing powers at his disposal.

Book of Omens?! There's a book now?!

Oh and more character info!:

Cheetara:

Quote:

Trained by the wizard Jaga, Cheetara is a powerful magician and the last living Cleric. She's also the fastest cat in Thundera and an expert in many forms of combat, including staff fighting.

Jaga is a wizard and Cheetara was his padowan?!

Tygra:

Quote:

Lion-O's adopted older brother Tygra can best his sibling in most things, yet is jealous of Lion-O's claim to the royal crown. In combat, Tygra uses his whip to turn invisible and is an expert marksman.

There was a book ever since the lamer ep--- er, later episodes of the original series. Where've you been?

~~Leo656~~ · 07-19-2011, 12:13 AM

I think they referenced the Book in the awesome 'Cats comics from the early/mid-2000s, also, specifically "Thundercats: The Return". At least I think. I'd have to read 'em all again to be sure, but most of 'em were awesome regardless. The Return had some awesome Ed Benes art that made it my favorite. Especially his Cheetara. "Meow" indeed.

Tygra:

Actually a lot of this has been out there in the wild for awhile now. Book of Omens comes from the Classic series. Stones of Power are really the only new thing I've noticed so far. I get the feeling it's what will power not only the sword of omens, but the sword of Plunn-dar and Rataro's Daggers as well.

And Leo, I've decided just to get the kittens in each line to save money haha. I wish I could afford to collect all of it.

I never really saw the later episodes with New Thundera and such. I saw some when they aired on Cartoon Network but didn't really pay much attention to em.

**GK Punk** · 07-19-2011, 12:41 AM

It's best you don't bother watching those later eps actually. They were... pretty terrible to be completely honest.

~~Leo656~~ · 07-19-2011, 12:46 AM

I still want 'em just to finish the set of DVDs, though. I'm missing Season 2 Vol. 1, it disappears from Best Buy for years at a time, then reappears whenever I only have $20 to spend and HAVE to get a DC Animated or TMNT DVD that day, then vanishes again. At least they aren't asking $60 for it anymore, that was ri-g*ddamn-diculous.

From Mary: "So is Lion-O not gonna be such a p*ssy in the new one?"

We were both disheartened upon watching Season One a while back and discovering that, despite memories of Lion-O being a bad-ass, he was in reality a whiny b*tch who spent most of every episode yelling "Thundercats, HELP!" as much as "ThunderCats, HOOO!" I still love the show to death, but man, I did not remember the main character being so frickin' helpless.

What do you expect? He was litterally a man child! He was a kid when he went into stasis and the stasis field failed a bit so that he aged but he still had the mind of a kid.

~~Leo656~~ · 07-19-2011, 01:15 AM

I tried that excuse, too, the "He's just growing into his role as leader!" bit. She still wanted to stop watching after like the 4th episode because of it.

Then again, she despised the constant "...Racer-X is secretly Speed's older brother, Rex!" interjections from THAT show, and grew to love them, so maybe I just didn't force-feed her enough Thundercats episodes. That can still be corrected.

**GK Punk** · 07-19-2011, 01:21 AM

They are going to do new releases of the classic series. It's basically the same as the box sets, minus the box. basically each set will be two discs. Probably the cheaper route to go for collecting them.

~~Leo656~~ · 07-19-2011, 01:47 AM

But... but I already HAVE the other 3 sets! That's going to look RIDICULOUS on my DVD shelf! Even worse, I bought them when they were new and $70 bazillion dollars each (slight exaggeration)! I think we used to bitch about that on AIM back in the day actually.

Those things were totally $30 sets at most, yet they retailed for a fortune because of what, the hologram box art? BAH.

Lucky for them I'm a total materialist whore who purchases everything I can afford to of my favorite characters and then bitches I'm getting ripped off. You don't even want to know how many different versions of the Fleischer Superman toons I have on DVD.

**GK Punk** · 07-19-2011, 01:58 AM

We totally bitched about the prices back then haha. I only bought Season 1 Volume 1 because of that. I may just skip getting the rest of the classic. Of course, it's easy to say that... But I am so much more impressed by the new series than the old right now.

I just don't want an ep where Snarfer goes and buys Mexican food from Robear Berbil Roberto's mexican take out stand in the new series. I will riot.

~~Leo656~~ · 07-19-2011, 02:09 AM

That would be Epic.

Much of the new 'Cats, much like the original, will probably go better with "those adult brownies we were saving for the Doobie Brothers concert". Sometimes, the Berbils sounded annoying enough to strangle, or drop feet-first into a blender, but other times... other, slightly medicated times, you swear that if you listen closely you can hear the secrets of the universe.

Either way, I'm more and more psyched for this series even though I'm gonna have to DVR most of it. I never get to watch shows when they're on anymore.

**GK Punk** · 07-19-2011, 02:13 AM

And yes, there really was an Ep was Snarfer did that...

I doubt that'll happen in the new series considering Snarf is just Lion O's pet now.

**GK Punk** · 07-19-2011, 07:25 PM

And so far, no sight of Snarfer at all thankfully. But still. The sting of that episode will never leave me.

Hopefeully Snarf will not talk at all because his voice was always annoying!
