Something new here!, A podcast http://raffertymillsconnection.podbean.com/2010/06/13/interview-larry-kenney/ with the voice of Lion-O where his role in the new series and a major spoiler:

Spoiler

Tygra is Lion-o's brother!

 

[Maximus One]

I needa get the boxsets of the old series so bad. How many seasons were there? I don't remember any of the episodes after the other 3 'Cats were introduced.

 

[Scourge2099]

ThunderCats had 4 seasons.

As long as the remake stays true to the original and doesn't have a lame ass intro like Dragon Ball Z Kai has , I'll be happy.

Ha, I love how they were never brothers in the 80s

 

[Gold Samurai]

First look

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I like what I'm seeing. I don't think the team needed a "tank" character but this seems very anime-influenced and Panthro makes the most sense I guess.

 

[E-Man]

Panthro looks huge. Hopefully they don't turn him into a stereotypical big idiot. I need him to teach the other Thundercats about what a samophlange is.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Ha, yeah. He'll most likely still be the team blacksmith/engineer. He just won't know words w/ too many letters

 

[lorenzovanmatte]

Ha, yeah. He'll most likely still be the team blacksmith/engineer. He just won't know words w/ too many letters

Stuff a new cartoon, let's have a live action version with Jessica Alba as Cheetara and Danny DeVito as The Mighty Snarf

 

[Denny67]

I absolutely hate the design/style direction they went with to reincarnate Thundercats. It's a serious backslide from the original.

 

[Cosmic]

Panthro looks too big. Lion-O should have a big ass, wild afro. Otherwise, looks okay.

 

[E-Man]

Damn. I just noticed that Lion-O doesn't have the cat fro. This is injustice!

 

[Casius--J]

I like the look of everybody except Lion-O, its not that I hate the look its that I'm not too crazy on it. Any date on this yet?

 

[Siby]

I'll watch it because my kids and I love Thundercats. I picked up them up cheap at Walmart.

I don't like Lion-O's hair at all. He needs to have a huge mane. Also if the spoiler is true then that is so dumb because it makes no sense. They are two different species not to mention that the Thundercats universe, in the show, never had mixed breeds.

Panthro looks more like an ape than a panther.

 

[Swordmaster]

What they did to the Sword of Omens saddens me, even though it's like 90% accurate to the original. From what I can make out of the art on the box, it's too small.

Nitpicky I know, but that was my favorite fictional weapon when I was five, I'm touchy.

 

[Iron_Stark]

Ah the memories, I loved that show.

This one better not screw up my childhood.


I kid, but this looks pretty cool.

 

[Primal Slayer]

I am not big on Cheetaras new look. She should together and not so fragile.

 

[Gold Samurai]

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

Looks like anime man-boys.
The original picture looked like a bad-ass Frank Frazetta painting.
How did we go from that, to this?

 

[Primal Slayer]

Why couldnt they just leave Panthro completely hairless on his head/face?

I wonder what the twins will look like..hopefully halfway decent like Lion-O and Tigra.

But I guess its better then where this was going

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Great, Panthro's half barbarian

 

[Gold Samurai]

He looks like some reject from a pirate cartoon.

 

[Ipodman]

Cartoons nowadays always must have that bigger, bulky character to complete the group...

 

[Wolfwood]

Panthro is kind of reminding me of Jet from Cowboy Bebop.

 

[Crockett]

I'm fine with this new interpretation of Thundercats but they look anime inspired. Maybe it's because except watching a few episodes from the show I was never really into them and it's more TF and G.I. Joe for me.
