Just becuase they werent in the spotlight doesnt mean they dissapeared.
If I recall, werenât they captured and taken to a prison of somekind in which theyâd never escape? It wasnât the same without the Mutants - in the Thundercats I remember, MummRa and the Mutants were always together although the Mutants always answered to MummRa (begrudglingly, might I add).
Mumm-Mutt is evil.
In one episode, he goes to the Thundercats and reveals Mumm-Raâs plans through communication through a machine. Thatâs not a sign of evil - thatâs a sign of good. I thought the entire idea of Mumm-Ra having an evil dog named after him was stupid but Mumm-Ra talking to the dog like an idiot really was lame. Mumm-Ra was something/someone to be feared, not to have sympathetic qualities.
An idea with alot of substance and potential.
How? It just simply moved the cartoon to another area - itâs like taking Batman out of Gotham City. The area is almost apart of the cartoon as the characters are - it was an attempt to freshen up the cartoon but it just took itâs identity away. When I think of Thundercats, I think of Third Earth and Thundera. New Thundera? No. Just doesnât come into the equation.
You didnt like Bengali, Pumyra, or Lynx-O? They were GREAT additions to the team.
There were enough Thundercats as it was. And each of them were unique. The ânewâ Thundercats just seemed to be thrown in with some rubbish storyline (âOh, yeah, turns out there were other survivors. And theyâve been here all this time on Third Earth, the same place YOU landed on. Funny, that.â) and the idea was to save these new Thundercats. The whole idea of Thundercats was that Lion-O, Cheetara, Tygra, Snarf, Pantro and Wily-Kit and Wily-Kat were the only survivors of Thundera blowing up. I liked the movie, just hated the idea of there being four additional Thundercats who came out of nowhere.
Mumm-Raâs power comes from them so logically they are more powerful.
No, I get that part. However, I donât get them becoming a bigger character and making Mumm-Ra, ahem, âtheir *****â constantly. The show turned Mumm-Ra from the most feared character thatâs ever existed in cartoons to some pawn answering to statues. Just really demeaned Mumm-Ra and the whole show and the way Mumm-Ra was built up.
How the heck did the cat say that? I think that part was very powerful and majestic and is what makes the last episode classic.
Because it was by the far the worst thing Thundercats could have done - were they trying to suggest that the insignia had a living cat inside of it that came to life and unfroze time? Really? It was ridiculous and really unbelivable - even for a cartoon.
That is my opinion, though. I love Thundercats, but I hated how it slowly turned into some fresh âlets see what we can change nextâ cartoon show - just like Tom & Jerry ended up, Scooby Doo, Looney Tunes, Pinky and the Brain, Thomas the Tank Engine and all of these wonderful unique cartoons tha turned into âbubblegumâ rubbish. And thatâs what dominates UK childrens television these days - and they wonder why people complain. Thundercats, as much as it was my favourite cartoon ever, just turned into all of those shows. People in charge wanting changes and really ridiculous things being produced as a result.
