🙁 Why do they gotta mess up my childhood heroes. C'mon Snarf the leader? And transforming and rock band.....And modern day Earth? What's Mum-Ra gonna look like? No nevermind don't want to know. What are they going to do to Panthero....He's my favorite and they're going to screw him all up. He's probably not even going to be the smart, or strong one.
I just found a minor rant on this subject and MAN did I ever laugh....
Thundercats
January 15th, 2007 by Joe HumphreyThis picture represents everything that is wrong with cartoons today. Everything.
Look at the Lion-O on the left. He’s big and strong. He’s the picture of masculine power and authority. He’s got long flowing hair like an 80s porn star. His punchin’ fist is cocked and ready to fire knuckle sandwiches into the face of evil. He could crush walnuts with his thighs. He was so hardcore that he tanned UNDER his t-shirt while the exposed skin of his forearms fought the suns rays and refused to tan. He was all man.
This… thing… on the right… he’s a skinny little emo chump with hair elbows and monkey feet. He doesn’t even look strong enough to pick up that sword he’s pretending to hold up, muchless put Mumm-Ra’s teeth through the back of his head. He’s got spiky idiot hair and wears gloves like the biker dude in the Village people. He’s got a waist like Mary-Kate Olsen. And he’s grinning like a ****ing goon. And he looks like he was drawn by a teenage kid that jerks off to Sailor Moon cartoons.
Sure, the original Lion-O was a flaming homosexual. But that’s okay, because you know what? ALL animated men in the 80s were gay. It came with the territory. He-Man and Man at Arms? Gay. Inspector Gadget? Gay. Heathcliff the cat? Gay. They were all gay and that was fine. The only ones who weren’t gay were the Transformers, and that’s because robots can’t have buttsex. Our cartoon heroes were gay and we liked them that way. We didn’t need a bunch of romantic lovey dovey bullshit getting in the way of badguy ass kicking. The only time it was ever a issue was on She-Ra with that dude Bow.
That guy was… a problem.
But that show was for girls and girl cartoons are stupid and I only watched it because it came on after He-Man and I liked to try and find that little purple dude who was always hiding somewhere in every episode.
So yeah, dudes in cartoons were gay… and this new Lion-O is no exception. He is gay as well. The difference between the two? The original Lion-O was gay, but you still wouldn’t want to **** with him, because he could kick your ass ten different ways before you hit the ground. The original Lion-O could reach down your throat, grab your scrote, pull it up and out and then strangle you with your own inside-out ball bag. The original Lion-O was a bad mother****er… who happened to like The Cock.
Where as this thing on the right is like… he’s a femme. A wussy gay dude. The kind of guy who makes home made hand bags for his girlfriends (that’s friends that are girls, not girls that he has sex with… *** hags… like She-Ra) and bedazzles his name onto his belt. He’s the kind of guy who would get his ass kicked by Ash from the Pokey Mans. Essentially, he’s not the kind of guy you want defending the world from evil mummies and other nefarious beings. I’m not hating on extra femmey gay guys. I’m just saying that they aren’t badass sons of bitches who I want to watch fighting evil in a cartoon.
Let’s look at the breakdown here:
via Aint it Cool News
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.The Thundercats are now teenagers in a rock band. Shoot me in the ****ing head.
No wonder kids today are retarded. This is what TV is giving them to eat.
Sucks,sucks, sucks!! Lion-o's now a skinny punk that plays in a rock band, GAY!!!!!! And it takes place in todays world! How are they gonna do Mumra and his whole prymid thing, it's just a joke. At least when they remade Heman the stayed true to the character's roots
Jesus Christ
GOD DA%&$!*@ you WB, BURN IN HELL!
This is a sad,sad,day.
He looks like Cloud from FF7.Only very weird.Why in the hell do they gotta go messin with the thundercats.There was so much stuff from the original show they could have explored and expanded upon with this new cartoon.Instead they are totaly trying to deystroy a story that worked very well.
a rock band?! earth?
what the heck, its supposed to be 3rd earth, and where the heck would the lunatics and mutants go? plus whos gonna be listenin toem rocking-----newyorkers?!
and how the HELL does mumra fit into this idotic picture, snarf snarf{oh no wait, im a mystic leader now so im supposed to say some crap like "hmmmmmmmmm, truly difficult, that question issssssssssss"}
