Thundercats 2011

[Ravage]

So ive just got through the pilot episode, and im pretty blown away! No major spoilers here, just a few points and suprises.

- Some nice character back ground from the start, nice to see old faces along with new ones. One character may be a cameo from the original series.
- Thundera not being a planet, but a city was a suprise. This has potential to be great for story arcs.
- Im so glag Grune had a lot of screen time.
- A lot of action to kick the series off, the pace was kept up throughout the episode.
- The animation was great, nice and fluid. The redesigns of the characters, for me at least, didnt take long getting used to at all. You will know who is who easily.
- Lion-O is actually quite likeable, brash, somewhat stubborn, but mindfull. A new Lion-O indeed.
- Snarf. ......i liked him, made me chuckle quite a bit. Am glad that he doesnt talk.
- Mumm Ra - Not the look i was expecting in mummy mode, but you just know he is going to be BAD ASS when the spirits of evil do their thing.
- Slythe - same type of body build, sounds very similar to the original, great update.
- A lot of history mentioned rather early on, quite suprised at that. Where the original series left it until the final season, you get to learn a lot early on. A few suprises to be seen and heard.
- There is a strong military order here, we get some insight as to why the Cats in the original series were Thundercats from watching this series. ( i hope i worded that right )
- Im not sure i like that Lion-O and Tygra are brothers. Something tells me that they are actually half brothers/step brothers. Just a gut feeling.
- We are left wondering if one character is still around or not due to something i cannot spoil!
- Cats Lair looks pretty damn cool, and has an egyptian spynx look to it. Now this makes me wonder where the writers are going here. A few little things seen and mentioned tie into each other, again wont spoil it.

All in all, a bloody good start imo, i was worried about this re-boot, but i do believe we are in for a real treat.

If you havent seen it yet, or in doubt, give it a go, im sure you wont be disappointed!

I loved pretty much everything about except mumm-ra's voice (although maybe it'll change when he does).

This is shaping up to be as good as the motu reboot ten years ago.

This is what i am hoping mate. The MOTU reboot was great, i loved it from start to finish. I didnt mind Mumm-Ras voice, though the originals is more in my favour. Tis a shame the original voice actor has passed away.

I forgot to mention Wily-Kat and Wily-Kit. I quite like how they were portrayed, though i dont get the tails. Only they had them. Maybe the Cats loose their tails when they reach adulthood?

Hey Rav!
Percy and I were chatting about Lion-O and Tygra being brothers as we watched it!
We are of the agreement, that Tygra is an adopted/step brother, which is why he didn't take the throne when Clawdus went to visit the giant pet shop in the sky!

Kinda makes sence when you think about it!!

The creators confirmed that in one of the interviews a few months back, I think.

Yeah, especially when Grune said "Ah, but such honours must be reserved for the bloodline".

Tygra has a Prince Dastan vibe about him ... how his character interacts with Lion-O should be interesting - especially as a love triangle seems to be looming. I was very impressed how the show cast some shades of gray on the conflict between the Cats and the Lizards ... wasn't just a case of the Mutants being evil, they acted for a reason.

Only thing I wasn't too keen on was the new iteration of Snarf. Far too much like Pikachu for my liking.

Loved the pilot episode, wasnt sure how this was gonna go so was pleasently suprised, hope they can continue it into the whole run.
