How Thundercats was ruined
http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=24232
WB animation is remaking the Thundercats as an animated TV series. The animation style is whimsical, Americanized-anime, along the lines of Teen Titans. The setting is modern-day Earth, in a major city (possibly LA) The Thundercats are all teenagers. Their leader is Snarf (!) who is now a mystic with a "third" eye. Each of the Thundercats has a weapon with an "Eye of Thunderra" and transformative powers (not just Lion-O) When they aren't fighting evil, the Thundercats play together as a rock band. That's not a typo, or a joke. They are rockin' cats in their present form. Mum-Ra now has wings. Raph's Girl note: *watches her childhood memories go up in flames*... What the bloody shell have they done?!

It was obviously sold-out on since Mumm-Ra Lives!, but I've been hoping they'd regain some integrity someday. Look at all the new comics from DC at the turn of the century. That said enough. But, THIS... I feel sick now.

I'm having trouble believing that description, honestly. Especially since it comes from an unprofessional source on AICN, of all places.
I think the guy was just carving up bulls*** based on some early design sketches some guy was hired to do (I attached the Cheetara design to this post). Those designs weren't even approved, from what I heard. I take this news with a grain of salt. |

I was looking forward to the revamp. If this news is true, I'll not be wasting my time.

I have VERY vauge recallections of the show, other than the fact I liked it, since it was on when I was so young. I would buy the DVD sets, but 50 bucks per is steep for me right now. Hell, I don';t even have the 25 dollar Ducktales set yet. >>When they aren't fighting evil, the Thundercats play together as a rock band. That's not a typo, or a joke.

If there was a shred of hope that a nostalgic Toyline would pop outta this, I'd be interrested... other than that... PLLLLPPPFFT!
