Right, but it's the same basic concept. Only Thundera is a Kingdom and it's destroyed. Lion-O is forced into the role of King before he is ready for it, has to grown into it. He's fighting to restore the kingdom and give his people a home to live in again. I just don't see what the end game is in the old show when the planet is destroyed and everyone's already dead. That's alright. I prefer the new origin myself. I think I've heard that before and questioned it. But now I really do. A 1000 years doesn't sound like a long enough time to go through two whole other eras, or for the planet's environment to change as much as it has and become populated with weird creatures. Also it was never called "First Earth." But maybe that's kinda how like World War I was never called that at the time it happened. Should have never touched it in the first place and just have this planet be completely made up. Not to mention the bad guys being called "mutants" when they are simply animal people themselves, just like the ThunderCats. In the 2011 version, everyone is from the same planet and they're all animal people, makes more sense.

LOL! That was glorious! Man, ya know, I was trying to find some good rant videos on this, and most I came across were idiots ranting about SJW nonsense, for some baffling reason. What the FUCK does this have to SJWs? As soon as someone utters cringey-ass retarded buzzwords like "cuck" and "soy," I write them off. Take them about as seriously a flat earthers. I swear, the anti-SJWs are almost as bad as the SJWs at this point. But, this guy called the people running Toonami idiots and goons, too? I gotta see his Toonami videos!

What is the point of making another show if it's going to be the exact same thing? I personally preferred the different take the new series took. Especially nixing the stupid boy in man's body thing, instead simply having Lion-O as a young king not ready for the job. But it is similar, Thundera is a Kingdom in the new series and it gets destroyed. Having more cats survive allows for more storytelling opportunities. Besides, you can't repopulate an entire species with so few remaining, and with only 2 females. What the hell was the end game, realistically, the old show? Also the whole "Third Earth" thing was never explained. Yup Roar is going to be honoring the original more closely LOL. Wonder how they will address the whole near extinction thing? Story is definitely better, and even the episodic episodes were great, like the one with the plant people. It was brilliant. You and I must have been hanging around different people because most of the people I knew online and off seemed to enjoy it. As far as characters, Tygra is a bit of a douche though, and Cheetarah a cat-tease. Poor Lion-O couldn't catch a break!

Wait people in the community came up with something even beyond that?! What could possibly be worse? Oh, you meant... I think it's only because the offenders got BANISHED THE SHADOW REALM.

"Beautifully animated" by not you, out-of-house. But with designs that look like shit. But yeah, we shouldn't take the clip with Lion-O or the promo art you released to inform people about the concept of the show as what it's like. Just the intro. Alright lol. By the way, there were plenty of old cartoons with awesome intros whose actual content was crap. And this intro doesn't even look appealing. Jesus Christ. That really inspires confidence, and explains a lot. Edit - By the way, how do you embed Twitter posts?

This is why you don't go to Yahoo Answers. The 2011 version runs circles around the original. This person is on crack. They're really reaching with lots of this to the point I have no idea where they are getting it from. Still, even with all its faults, the original ThunderCats is light years better than Roar.

Wait what they did what with the episodes? And there was a movie? I originally thought Arise was movies. But they were OVAs that got converted to 30 minute episodes? And there was a movie?

The original ThunderCats looked pretty cat-like, maybe even too much. I thought the 2011 series struck a good cat/person balance. These new ThunderCats' ears don't even look like cat ears. More like rabbit ears or insect wings. They don't have cat eyes or any other cat features either really. Yeah lmao. I still can't get over how he looks. Must be some kinda' serious safe space bubble wherever he lives and works that he's not getting routinely mocked. Star actually seemed somewhat appealing to me, whereas Stephen Universe is just annoying. Gravity Falls is annoying too. Never got around to watching Star though. Seems like pretty bottom of the barrel scenarios they are going for here, yeah. Demarco claimed there weren't enough kids watching the 2011 series, though I'm not sure how true that is. But yeah the toys were crap I heard. I can't see such squat figures of Roar characters being very dynamic. Are toys even in the pipeline?

Yup the good thing about this is I can check out early. No killing time while Bebop is on. Now the only timeslot I have to dodge is Hiatus.

Because running Bebop into the ground, running Gundam that most Americans don't care about, and making unnecessary, unwanted sequels with no original team involvement because you're an obsessed fanboy, sure is a sign of knowing how to program a television block. The only reason Toonami's ratings are being tolerated are because CN and AS's ratings are way down themselves. Demarco is slowly being marched to the firing squad by the likes of Netflix and Hulu. Change and adapt, or die. It's survival of the fittest. And Demarco thinks the answer is FLCL!

The thing is most of those adults grew up with Nintendo games or videogames of some kind, and they can still be enjoyed by adults. There's no reason for any supposed grown men to take interest in My Little Pony. I don't even know of any grown women who would've grown up with the old Ponies that give a shit about it. Even then, there's a difference between liking a little girls' show and being obsessed with it and shouting from the rooftops about how it changed your life. I'm just glad that fad is dead and the show has no relevance anymore.

I don't get your thinking with this. Power levels don't make you invulnerable to weapons. Lots of warriors used weapons in the series before. Obviously a weapon by itself can't do anything. It's all in the hands of the person who uses it. Maybe they could send their chi into the weapon and around it, but I dunno', I think you are way overthinking this. Goku extended energy around his finger... It's also possible for people to block swords with their hands in real life, mind you, if you know what you're doing.

You know that was meant as a joke, right? Launch shot Roshi, Goku, and Krillin full of bullet holes at one point. Actually, it was Mai's dumbass that came up with it. Raditz caught a bullet and threw it back at the farmer. Saiyaman would catch or dodge bullets. That implies a use of superhuman reflexes and chi, not a bullet proof body. Point is, they aren't bullet proof, but because of awareness and reaction time, it most likely won't work anyway. The only characters I can think of that are would be the androids, which kinda makes sense. Yes the limitation was removed after it was rebuilt after Buu destroyed it. I don't see how that's any different than the Dragons' limitations being monkeyed with.

Oh, so she's what wrought that abomination upon the world. She's no better than Pebbles Boy then.

The only person I remember flipping out over it was Ranlsa, which doesn't say much. "This isn't the Cheetara I pretended to be in the backyard when I was a little girl!" Whatever that means. Most people from what I saw enjoyed the show and were upset when it was canceled. It did improve on the original unlike that friend of the showrunner seems to think Roar is doing LOL. And if anyone really did think the 2011 series looked like shit they aren't worth taking seriously either.

I think that's the point. There's no reason for kids to watch action cartoons when they have Superhero movies. And I would argue they are at least kid friendly, even if anyone could enjoy them. Lots of kids bummed out by Infinity War though lol. Who is Lauren Faust anyway?

I'm pretty sure it was just from nearby planets, and what was left on Namek. Looks like I was right, from what Daos posted.

I told you guys he looked like a face-punchable douche! Even Bayley would be ashamed of that ponytail!

Don't give Demarco any ideas. And wtf is going on with "Jet?"

There were action cartoons in the 90's and into the 2000's too. I think the theory is that action cartoons have been supplanted by things like the Marvel movies and videogames. As for the visuals I have no clue. Seems like chasing trends to me. A bunch of shows copied each other. There was a bunch of stuff like Flapjack, Adventure Time, and Regular Show, very similar to each other. Now Stephen Universe is being aped. The last of the Mohicans of action cartoons would seem to the the Star Wars animated series. Resistance is about fighter pilots and is apparently anime-inspired, which sounds pretty cool. Maybe the Marvel cartoons, but I think the last one I saw was Spectacular Spider-Man, not sure about the more recent ones.

It is shortsighted and self-defeating to look at it that way for sure. But Cartoon Network's ratings have been way down for a while, so I guess kids don't even like these shows either.

He could remember it from Toonami's reruns. And yeah the old ThunderCats has some silliness to it to it for sure, but it wasn't that bad. He can talk about making a remake that improves on the original, but it sure as fuck isn't this. ThunderCats 2011 was that show. Yup he is towing the company line for sure. He obviously can't just admit its shittiness so he should have just kept his mouth shut.

I'll definitely try to watch it soon and try not to get side-tracked. Easier to commit to watch one movie than a series anyways. I wonder if the show is hard to get, in a licensing hell of sorts. Or just expensive. I mean when it was OVA length it made sense to avoid it.

Oh well it probably has a very outside shot then. They love GitS but movies are a rarity these days except in special circumstaces. Wow really? Pretty sure I didn't see it, but I guess I would know for sure if I go and watch it. Supposedly they played the Bebop movie once before as well, but I don't recall seeing that either.
