      @user-vm8qc3vz2w So true 👍 I always felt like Mumm-ra was the one who made Thundercats Roar to ruin the great name of the REAL True Thundercats. Heck, I didn't even watch Thundercats Roar that's how bad it was.

    I still have my Original ThunderCats action figures. I also have the DVDs that followed the cartoon decades later. The show ran from 1985-89. I'm trying to remember some of the ThunderCats names. Lion-O, Lynx-O, Jaga, Cheetara, Bengali, Panthro, etc. These were all the characters I will never forget and I know there are villains, as well.

      Nope, it was in the whole series as a whole. Lionel said it in a particular episode that tygra would be the new lord of the Thundercats in the case that something would happen to Lionel.
      This is what makes tygra the second in command of the Thundercats.

    We watched this every week because it was so cool and so you need to see these characters. How the heck? Could it be controversial? These mom groups screwed up a lot of stuff, I'm going to protect my child from all things negative even if they're only negative in my head kind of crap! A lot of people were pissed at at how powerful their voices were, so that made me think that somebody in a influential political appointment was listening to these busy bodies.

    I will never count "Thundercats ROAR" as a part of the Thundercats property as it is a bastardization of the property as a whole. There is nothing redeeming about "Thundercats ROAR" and much like "Teen Titans Go" its a garbage show with idiotic humor to entertain those with low intelligence and low morals. IMO

    This was a good segment. Hopefully, Adam Wingard's project is still alive and moving forward, despite my sense that his vision for them won't be something that totally connects with me. My prefs aren't important, I just want to see the franchise revived for a new generation of potential fans.

I didnt like that snarf didnt talk however. Now the He-man remake from the same time was also well done and isk why they were so readily canceled.

    Only a fool will believe that Thundercats live action film won’t happen. OF COURSE it’s going to happen. And if it’s successful, they’re going to do what they do to everything else : make more & more sequels and ton of merchandise … They’ll milk it until it’s dry… Face it : The magic of the 80’s is long gone. Anyone remember all the excitement when Transformers was first announced in 2006 ? And what’s happened in the past 17 years ? It’s been bastardized. Nobody cares anymore. The industry milks everything dry.
