Exactly. Imho, they should've picked up where the 2011 series left off.

[Dynaman]

Is it possible for an entire network to jump the shark, if so CN has.  And I'm not even a Thundercats fan.

[TangledThorns]

Stupid! St00pid! STUPID!! Also, the hipster millennial a-holes producing this crap look just like the ones Family Guy lampooned recently. The 2011 reboot was way better but sadly cancelled so bring that one back instead!!

Thundercats + over a decade of cat memes = Thundercats Go

 

[Keith]

Thundercats are no!

[Convectuoso]

I'll just pretend this doesn't exist

[JB0]

I have no words.

Just... just no.

[jenius]

Hmm, I wonder if this will be at Comic-con. Thundercats isn't sacred to me, I could have fun with this. I wonder if this will be up my kids alley.

[Negotiator]

i thought this was a joke 

[SuperHobo]

While I don't like the art style, this is just a kids show marketed towards kids , therefore this doesn't affect me.  No harm no foul.

WTH ! IS THIS !

"This show is all about praise and love of the original."  

[M'Kyuun]

Pass on this iteration. I don't understand the trend of crudeness, both in the content and artistic style, in much of American animation. Cartoon Network loves this sort of thing, so shows like Squidbillies enjoys longevity, while a well produced, voiced, written, and drawn show like 2011 Thundercats gets the axe after only about a season and a half. They blamed it on poor toy sales, but what toys were selling for Squidbillies?

Would definitely love to see a continuation of the 2011 Thundercats; they were starting to hit their stride, and then got cancelled. I've also heard it was due to LEGO's Chima cartoon, which neither my wife nor I could get into (we both love Ninjago).

[Black Valkyrie]

 

I'd rather watch Ren & Stimpy. 

 

[seti88]

sergio is that you?

[JB0]

So... remember Space Ghost: Coast to Coast? And how you loved it and no one should care it was a vicious mockery because Space Ghost was a low-budget garbage show anyways?

Then Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law? Second verse, same as the first?

Yeah. This is just more of the same. Abusing something they have the rights to, because making a screwed-up mockery will bring in more views than treating it with respect.

 

What I'm saying is that if you watched Space Ghost: Coast to Coast, this is your fault.

[no3Ljm]

Words cannot express how I feel.

But Space Ghost Coast to Coast was better than Space Ghost.  The Donny Osmond interview was priceless.

[Old_Nash]

Bitter truths..

[mikeszekely]

Must everything on CN be drawn in the same style as Steven Universe now?

[valhary]

I want a serious legacy not that

[MILKAUTICO]

[Old_Nash]

And they reveal the next "Gonization"

(yes, it's a joke)

I watched and loved it. I guess CN feels like they got nothing to lose and is throwing crap against the wall just to see what sticks. 

[Negotiator]

i liked the art for the last reboot, watched all of it.  i feel it was more so the bad writing that did itself in.  it was an unending loop of un-progression with liono imo

Bad writing?? Huge disagree!! It was one of the best NA animated series in the last 10 years! 

[Valkyrie Hunter D]

It looks terrible, but I bet ROAR is going to have more action than the original series ever had.

The reboot from a few years ago was killer.

[Old_Nash]

More cartoons GO-nization 

(Yes, all fanmade)

[Dangard Ace]

Eeeee.....shudder.   

 

Think I’ll go watch some Gravity Falls instead.

Yeah I don't like a lot of what appears on CN these days. If I had my own kid I wouldn't let them watch that channel.

And someone who doesn't care about the original Thundercats is going to make the same argument here.

They COULD have done a respectful update of Space Ghost, working from the initial premise and making a fantastic sci-fi superhero adventure. Instead they mocked it ruthlessly because it was easy and the rights were cheap, and it sold fantastically.

 

See also: Robot Chicken. We're not really funny, so we'll bank on nostalgia to make people like our jokes anyways. Now where's our Scrooge McDuck pool of gold coins? (Tangentally, I respect Peter Cullen for refusing to voice Optimus in that show. )

 

 

The point is that years of rewarding them for doing things like this has led to... this. They've seen the writing on the wall. Respectful updates and tasteful homages don't sell, regardless of quality. But ruthless mockery and ill-concealed contempt with low production values DOES. Less effort, more money, why bother with anything else?
