Romance in ThunderCats/Should Lion-O have a love interest?

Ore wrestling over whose turn it is to initiate the wrestling. :wink:

I can actually see that happening with Lion-O and Pumyra.

They are definitely the types that might enjoy sparring/grappling with one another. Sort of like Green Arrow/Black Canary.

I would be happy to see it as a series finale. :liono + :pumyrahappy:

I could see a kiss or just something to show that their relationship is official, but not marriage. Lion-O’s only about 17 for crying out loud!

I was thinking that by the time the war’s over and Thundera’s been rebuilt, Lion-O will probably be either 19 or 20. It wouldn’t be the first time a series finale has a flash forward. :slight_smile:

Childbirth is a harrowing experience for lots of women; individual personality doesn’t really factor into it. Femininity isn’t a bad thing! I thought Leona was fantastic and a great addition to the expanding gallery of women in Thundercats, all of whom are unique and cover a broad variety of characteristics, none of which are demonized; this includes traditional femininity! Also I think Leona showed remarkable strength, most notably her taking Tygra into her home (the royal family) against Claudus’ expressed hesitations. Like all the characters, she’s flawed, with her own strengths and her own weaknesses.

My only real concern with her storyline was that, well, she’s a dead mother - a woman whose death’s narrative purpose is to inspire and motivate men - and there’s way more than enough of those out there. It’s tired and kind of boring! And I like Leona a lot and would have enjoyed seeing more of her.

Is there anything I might say that you won’t… ah, nevermind.

The way cheetara and tygra are going maybe they should marry 'em before the break. :tygra::cheetara:

Guys i agree with the points you mentioned above, relationships are an important part of life but in a Cartoon they aren’t going to show things like :‘‘filling up the fridge, paying the bills, clearing the dinner table or wrestling over whose turn it is to take the kids to soccer practice’’.

I’d prefer to see Lion-O focusing on his leadership skills and quest to fight the stones.

I would too. It would be nice to see his relationship with Pumyra become more involved, but not take over the action. I think it can be easily done, and they’ve already done a great job of doing that.

I understand what you are saying, and indeed the writers have impresed us all with the way they have handled things so far but i am afraid an upcoming new Love story will monopolize the interest and i really wouldn’t like to see it turning into a soap opera.

If they keep gradually leading into it, I see no problem with another relationship.

They’ll do it. Almost everyone like these two together.

I sure do. It’ll be the pacing that gets people into arguments. I think the pacing has been great so far. Not too fast or too slow.

Here’s hoping the Powers That Be use that name for when they do back stories later on.

Yeah I like Leona as a name. It’s pretty.

I took another look at the picture from “Native Son” and I think it fits her very well.

Kinda sad we didn’t get to see Lion-O or Pumyra this episode. Oh well.

Yeah it would have been interesting to find out what happens after the older cats return. :wink:
