Thundercats gets raped for a new generation

[Valkysas]

This honestly sounds like the worst "updated" show ever.

Thundercats was always terrible. Even as a vapid and brain dead child I couldn't stand it.

Which makes it doubly confusing that they would bother, don't it?

Re: Thundercats gets raped for a new generation

I enjoyed its simple morals and bizarre menagerie of characters. Why can't they just update the look and give it a little bit more complex story? Did it really NEED to take place on earth/have everyone be teenagers/have a Mumm-Ra with wings/have an Obi Wan Snarf?

Are there kids who really think that it's cool that the Thundercats are in a rock band?

This has "gay" written all over it.

HOW DO THESE PEOPLE GET THEIR JOBS?!

Seriously: How do such untalented idiotic people get their jobs and/or get away with what they're doing?

I stopped reading at:
"The setting is modern-day Earth, in a major city (possibly LA)
The Thundercats are all teenagers. "

The originality just sky-rocketed so high it almost blew me away.

I tried liking it while it was on Cartoon Network a few years back. It was okay, but it didn't bother me at all when it went back off the air. Maybe if the characters at least had tails.

Re: Thundercats gets raped for a new generation

I liked stupid shows (Thundercats, Inspector Gadget, SilverHawks, Transformers, TMNT) when I was a kid. Thundercats was weird and different, and the action figures were cool. I never had a single one, but I pined for a lion-o figure for years.

This new idea is horrible. I could come up with something better. ME!!!

Re: Thundercats gets raped for a new generation

I loved Thundercats when I was a kid...but no way does it stand the test of time. Voice acting was TERRIBLE.

...and who the hell is this cartoon for, anyway??? I can't wait for it to come out...just for the pure train wreck factor. The mutants should be a rival band er something.

I think we all could, Nixon. I think we all could.

Re: Thundercats gets raped for a new generation

I can just see it now... the next season of Pokèmon features Ash in a rock band

Re: Thundercats gets raped for a new generation

I used to have a lot of the Thundercats toys, including the action figures, sword, claw and the Catmobile.

The story was somewhat good when it first started with a lot of mystery, but then it just drone into the same boring routine.

Seriously, that was the golden age when all cartoons were animated in Japan. That show had the best opening animation ever.

The late 70's to early 90's is generally considered the dark ages of animation. It's a time where new shows couldn't be created if they wern't based off an existing property (New Ghostbusters, Alvin and the Chipmunks) or were a package for mechandice (He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles, G.I. Joe). Though there was counterculture and adult cartoons being created at the time the stuff you and I watched is near the worst it ever got.
