WB is remaking Thundercats.....!!!!

[Wyrminarrd]

When I first saw this threads title I thought "Cool, I loved this series when I was a kid"

Then I read the changes being made to the show and I thought "Oh, this is a joke thread like the "What if Pitof directed ___ -man movie" thread.

Then I read on and realised that this was in fact not a joke thread and I thought I was going to be sick. The list of changes reads like it was intended to offend fans of the original material and I for one am extremely offended by this BS treatment that the Thundercats are getting.

How hard would it have been to make the new series be something like the new Turtles series? That series had style and good writing and while it changed many things it still was true to the original series.

My head hurts from having banged it on the desk so hard.. what the hell are they thinking? Well obviously they aren't.. Thundercats has a lot of potential to made into a good cartoon but that just sounds like crap.. and the DVDs aren't even out in the UK yet, what the hell is going on there!?

I suppose giving Mumm-Ra wings doesn't sound too bad at first and setting it on Earth could turn out to be ok.. ish.. but I mean what about the Mutants? Are they gonna be a group of street punks that Mumm-Ra gives them the power to turn into 'Mutants' at will? And what about the Thundertank? They're gonna be too young to drive aren't they? And Snarf as the leader? What is that all about?

Yet another classic childrens show getting the preverbial ass raping

It was always set on Earth.

But this is going to suck I want the DVD's dammit

Oh, actually, go on ebay and look for the dvds dude... they work fine on UK DVD players

If memory serves me correctly, which it rarely does, wasn't ThunderCats set on Third Earth?

I think it was alluded to in the series that it was actually our Earth... But it was called Third Earth and wasn't it stated somewhere (in the comics maybe?) that this was the 'third age' of the planet... But it could also mean as in the third earth from the sun...

Wow, you may be right on either account, I just assumed it was some sort of alternative earth. Meh, either way they are effing it up with this new idea (if it is indeed true).

I lost all hope for humanity.

 

[patrickbateman]

yup cant wait to see halle berry in this one

 

[AllThingsComic]

How can one go from comic relief (Snarf), to the leader?? Actually Snarf annoyed the hell outta me in the original.

 

[ghost113]

are you f'n kidding me? this is total BS, if anyone ever watches this they should be hung and be stabbe while they are losing breath and to surely kill them a knock over the head with a sledgehammer. Also the people who makes this should have the same thing done to them but no hanging just a brutal beating by every true thundercats fan.

If you read the comments the guy who drew it says that they eventually passed on the show alltogether. Which means one of 2 things.

1)We have nothing to fear, they're not remaking thundercats into a farce
or
2)This is like the alternate TMNT art that was posted on the TMNT site from a rival studio pitching the concept. Which means we'll get the series, it just won't be like this.

People must have missed this.

If you follow the link to the concept art for the show, the guy who drew it said they passed on the series. Everyone can stop worrying.

 

[ghost113]

I couldn't see the mumra design but the lion-o design wasn't that bad.

 

[deathshead2]

I still want to see a remake of thundercats. But more like the he-man and 2k3TMNT those were really good shows. Until one was canned and the other had a season not air and a crappy season replace it.

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.
And I bet he laughs a bit more than he used to =P
Developing...

What the heck is with the ninja turtles in the future crap I'm hearing about. I just download the episodes and I only have up to the end of season 3,

 

[deathshead2]

You sure are slow at downloading then.
