UN Spacy Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 "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. Mum-Ra now has wings." Quote
bsu legato Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Ugh...tell me this is a April Fools "joke." Quote
Warmaker Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 I'll bite, April Fools or not! It also gives me a chance to say the obligatory: "Stop raping my childhood!" Quote
Hikuro Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Oh god this has GOT TO BE a joke......please no : / stop dicking with my childhood ppl.....please stop it makes me cry. Quote
EXO Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Great Jaga's ghost!!! Thundercats: Gayified They should have it to where Cheetarah secretly does a porn website for furries. See! That would be a modern day twist... Quote
Macross73 Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Next up : Thundercats and their Eating Disorders what the Hell happened to him? He couldn't find a antelope and get dinner? Come on people. he looks the poster boy for Crack! Quote
Pat Payne Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 "and now you say 'Ha hah ha, gotcha, Charles' -- and then you leave." -- Charles Emerson Winchester III, "M*A*S*H". Seriously, while the photo looks legit -- Freakin' SNARF as the leader? How about the real news on yet another insult to nostalgia? Quote
David Hingtgen Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Well, it matches the info I posted here like 6 months ago perfectly, so I think it's legit. Here's the thread: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...;hl=thundercats And much like Hurin, I also compared it to M7. ::edit:: Actually, it matches word-for-word perfectly, so... Quote
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 MUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Quote
azrael Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 If this thread is still here tomorrow....where's my gun.... Quote
Warmaker Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 What kind of ammunition will you need? Puny 9mm? Respectable .45 or 7.62mm NATO? Or .50 "just to make sure?" Quote
JB0 Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Well, it matches the info I posted here like 6 months ago perfectly, so I think it's legit. Here's the thread: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...;hl=thundercats And much like Hurin, I also compared it to M7. ::edit:: Actually, it matches word-for-word perfectly, so... Yeah, I thought it was a thread bump for a second. At least this drivel STILL hasn't hit the airwaves. It may yet be cancelled. Quote
KingNor Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 when the thundercats were young, they wore no clothes and were missing all genitals. episode 1 was a confusing time for thunder-fans. Quote

Scream Man Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 the pic does look legit, and except for the horrid hair looks fine. the rest of info cannot be real. i refuse to believe it. Quote
Lynx7725 Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 (edited) Snarf as the leader....? Hey guys, this might be worth it. I mean, for the sheer comedic value of seeing SNARF as the leader.... Lion-o is a bit scrawny now ain't he? Lion or Alley-Cat? EDIT: And the rock band part? That's not so nice. You guys ever hear a bunch of cats yodelling the night away? Ain't pleasant. Edited April 2, 2007 by Lynx7725 Quote
Wes Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 "WB animation AND THIS IS WHERE THE FAILURE BEGINS. Weren't they the one's that did WB toons TO THE EXTREME! style awhile back? Now Liono has no muscle? Will he actually get hoes in this one? (probably not if it's headed for 4Kids... ) Quote
Warmaker Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Lion-O should have retained a good build. I mean, Male Lions are friggin' huge. Oh, and we can't have a Thundercats-related thread without the obligatory: "Thunder! Thunder! Thundercats! HOOOoooooooooo!!!!" Quote
mechaninac Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 (edited) Waidaminit... The new look I can live with, the all teenage angle is tolerable (a bit too TMNT for my taste, though), Snarf as the leader is just as ludicrous as having Orco be the King in He-Man, and the modern day setting could be either good or awfully lame; but a rock band, WTF??? Is this a re-imagining of Thundercats or Josie and the Pussy Cats? Edited April 2, 2007 by mechaninac Quote
terry the lone wolf Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 I can live with the new look but c'mon a rock band?!? The next will be the Thundercats travelling across the country solving mysteries like the Scooby gang or the Amazing Chan Clan. This sounds sooooooooooooooo 70's. Jinkees!!! Quote
azrael Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 What kind of ammunition will you need? Puny 9mm? Respectable .45 or 7.62mm NATO? Or .50 "just to make sure?" .50....Nah. I want a more lasting effect. Toss me the 120mm HEAT rounds. I gots me a animation studio to hit. Seriously...a rock band? I think I feel my breakfast coming back up... Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Man ! the new Lion-O looks like Basara ... OI LISTEN TO MY MEOW ! MEOW MIX ... MOEW MIX ... MOEW MIX. Quote
Kin Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 (edited) lol... this morning I was in the train heading for work, I saw a guy wearing a black t-shirt with a red logo sitting in front of me. I thought... Hey, aint that the thundercats logo? Btw... It looks more like thundermonkeys to me... Edited April 2, 2007 by Kin Quote
kung flu Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 You should all remember that thundercats and most of the other cartoons we watched when we were kids was made for KIDS. These new cartoons wither thundercats or something else are made for today's kids in mind, not for their dads. Even if you were to watch some of the old cartoons you watched as a kid yourself now, you would realise how childish and stupid the stories and characters are. Quote
Duke Togo Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 This is old news, and I'll say now what I did when this first came out (and what Kung Flu has expressed): this show is not for you, its for kids. Their audience is not a group of 30-somethings who grew up watching it on TV as a kid. Quote
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 lately, the WB animation hasn't released anything worth watching...or even anything to turn your brain off too... Quote
Skullsixx Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Great Jaga's ghost!!! Thundercats: Gayified They should have it to where Cheetarah secretly does a porn website for furries. See! That would be a modern day twist... Gay? I would think that the old muscular version in super tights would be more gay. I think the new design is OK... better than the old one, but still needs a lil' work. I wasn't into this 'toon as a kid. Reminded me of He-Man which is really gay. By the way, what in the hell is that painting the guy before me posted? THAT looks interesting. Quote
