Spirit and Soul stone are the same stone. The 4th stone was never revealed.
It seems someone on Wikipedia has there information wrong then.
In an interview with Dan Norton, Shannon Eric Denton, and Larry Kenney at Power-Con, they mentioned that if there was a season two, it would detail Mumm-Raās hand in the creation of the Snarfs, Slitheās history with Lynx-O (which would also explain how Slithe and the Lizards sided with Mumm-Ra), Mumm-Ra tricking the ThunderKittens for them to bring the Sword of Omens so he could send them to El Dara, and Pumyra being transformed into a wicked [I]insectoid[/I] monster on a mission to capture the ThunderCats. The name of the final stone was also revealed as the Soul Stone.[31]
Talk to any spiritual person and they will tell you the Soul and Spirit are indeed two different things.
Spirit is generally defined as your ethereal body or the ethereal plane. The realm of pure meaning/enlightenment. It is the realm of Words. You exist in it because āyou are.ā Just think of Spirit as absolute Truth.(kinda seemed what they were going for there, too).
Soul, on the other hand, is you as a person. Comprising of The Mind, The Emotions and the Will (or id, ego, and superego iffinā you like Freud). Via the soul, The Physical and the Spiritual are interacted with. The Soul is the root of Choice, as The Mind and Emotions make up the motivation for Will and decision making. Itās the elements of Free will.
Itās hard to summarize that, hope that makes some sense. I skimmed over stuff. Presumably, if the show runners knew this about the soul, the soul stone would be about Choice in a way. With all this set destiny stuff, an analysis of Choice would be a welcome change to round things out.
Maybe I missed some stuff from the Thundercon panel. I donāt remember anything about the stone or the Thunderkittens going to El Dara being mentioned. Itās been a while since I watched the video though.

That seems entirely too confusing for what was supposed to be a kidās show.
Wow, I didnt remember anything mentioned about the Thunderkittens either. I went to the sited link and still didnt see it mentioned. I would be very interested to see where this came from.
It does however reference the Soul Stone:
āBut as the Lizard-men become enslaved to Mumm-ra, he sees that Lion-Oās quest for the Soul stone would unite the races.ā
I suppose it depends on you own view. But my understanding and my own personal belief is that the soul and spirit are the same thing.

Itās interesting they mentioned Young Justice toys not selling well. Simple fact is they were made by Mattel and they were not very good or marketed very goodā¦just like Bandaiās Thundercats. Bad toys donāt sell.
Oddly enough Mattelās Avatar toyline didnāt sell to well, mainly due to the lack of some of the main female characters like Katara. But it isnāt the first time Mattel made a bad marketing decision, does anyone remember the MOTU 200X toyline? LOL.
Iāve wished for a long time that ThunderCats had aired on Nick instead of CN. They seem to be able to keep a lot of cartoons going that either have toylines that did poorly or donāt have toy lines at all.
In the words of Madeline Lāengle āItās not to difficult for Children. Itās to difficult for Adults.ā Metaphor is a perfect place to present this information.
They would have gotten Avatarās treatmentā¦ without Avatarās popularity. Cartoon network might have been the best choice (just not during this era). That or sell it to Hasbroā¦
Hasbro havenāt been making the best marketing and creative decision with a lot of their lines and shows either.
They have pretty much killed the G.I. Joe line.
As for Transformers they have been slowly ruining it for years.
