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

If you mean warm by “nice”, you’re right. I like this kind of relationship too. It reminds me of Kid Flash and Artemis in Young Justice. They were completely different and disagreed on a lot of things, and Artemis even went against the team orders and behaved much out of impulse, but they still hooked up in the end.

And Dr Holiday and Agent Six in ‘Generator Rex’ too. She’s like a more human version of Cheetara, only more dynamic and with 3 PhD’s. He’s the ninja-in-a-green-suit, who is so stoic he wears sunglasses just to hide his emotions. But it’s clear that they love each other, though they were never SHOWN to hook up in the end.

Yeah that too. let’s hope Lion-O and Pumyra are different and actually do hook up in the end. It seems like they already have from what they did in the newest episode but you never know.

I’d sooner they hook up than see a cliffhanger, in which one of them’s in Limbo, the world’s blanketed in darkness and Lion-O yelling,“If I don’t defeat you, then I’m not the King!” Like they did with Mystery Incorporated (Man, I hate that show).

I think they’ll officially hook up when Pumyra wakes up from being tazed and apologizes for not listening to Lion-O.

Oh, so she didn’t take the Stone. I thought she did. I tried to watch the episode online, but lack of modem data delayed it. Only got as far as:

Lion-O: “We know you have a Power Stone. We need it.”

Oh, you need to see the rest. It’s a fantastic episode. Pumyra tries to take the stone from the birds but gets electrocuted. She looks like she’ll be fine but she was still knocked out at the end of the episode.

And knowing Mumm-Ra, he’ll just use magic to take the Stone and leave Avista in ruins. Which’ll make Vultaire go insane and hey-ho, the Rogues Gallery is complete.

I actually think Mumm-Ra will offer to build them a new city if he gets the stone, and Vultaire will agree and join Mumm-Ra while the twins bring back help to fight off the birds and Mumm-Ra’s forces. Lion-O will finally agree with Pumyra that no matter what, since the birds are enemies now, they have to get the stone. They’ll meet Mumm-Ra, who is also trying to get it, and we’ll have to see from there.

Dont shoot me…but MY hopes are that Lion-O, while he’s growing stronger and more mature by the day, will also move forward more as a king and a well respected leader…without Pumyra. In my opinion, I feel like she is the type that gets jealous too easily, she’s a control freak, and a loose canon. She’s not “queen” material. I wouldn’t be surprised if Lion-O gave her the “look, your great and all…but I have other very important matters to tend to right now…blah blah blah…” or something along those lines…and it will CRUSH her heart. I can see a female like her stomping off. Drama? Yeah. I hate it. But she does NOT strike me as someone that he would pick to stand by his side. She is more like a backstabber if you ask me. I dont like the attittude. :wink:

I just dont see it happening.

Sorry to throw a wrench in things! I dont know who else they could find for him, but I bet it will be NO ONE…

but if they can keep these seasons running, who knows…i would be elated to see him grow up more and stumble across a very mature female with NOT relationships on her mind…but someone who is at peace already in her life and NOT broken.

Oh- and like his parents- a lioness :slight_smile:

Yeah, big shock here but I 150% disagree. She is good queen material because she can order people around. With Lion-O’s influence she could possibly be one of the best leaders Thundera has ever had, especially during wars. Her and Lion-O are purrr-fect (sorry I had to) together because they can both benefit from each other.

Lion-O is far too taken by her to just reject her now. Sure she’s made mistakes and hasn’t been the most perfect follower of Lion-O, but Lion-O is known to forgive and forget. he looks past the flaws. He knows her real side, and knows her intentions are good. No matter how bad they may seem (including genocide), she was only trying to help Lion-O. The way she carries them out is where she stumbles, but I don’t think that’ll change his outlook on her.

I won’t be surprised if you were spot on.

And then we’ll see both the Armours of Plun-Darr(gulp) AND Omens(drool)!! But didn’t Mumm-Ra use stones of his own to activate the Armour of Plun-Darr?

Yes, but if Lion-O has the tech stone then Mumm-Ra won’t be able to use his armor.

I won’t shoot you if you won’t shoot me…agreed? Of course, someone else will probably shoot me, but I don’t care anymore.

I kind of agree with your sentiment but in a different direction. Lion-O should have been with Guitarra from the start. It makes a lot more sense to me. Their personalities are better matched. It’s also more consistent with what was hinted at in the OS (although I’m not a big believer in absolute continuity between the two series) and how the first half of the season was written.

I think it would have been more interesting for Tygra to not get what he wanted in “Between Brothers”, and to have him grow more distant and troublesome, then be the one who tries to help Pumyra when everyone else writes her off. Their personalities are better matched than the current configuration…you’ve got someone compassionate and rational matched with someone passionate and irrational on both sides, and it’s a strange dynamic to me.

But anyway, this is all moot because I didn’t get what I wanted, and what is, is what must be. So I guess I have to accept it when lion/puma hybrid cubs start coming out in fanfic. :wink:

Guitarra=Cheetara, right?

Anyway, I can’t see Lion-O being with Cheetara. She never seemed to be a good fit for him. She’s far too soft-spoken and spiritual for him. Pumyra is more in his league because she’s much more powerful (maybe not in battle but all around) and she actually harbors affections for Lion-O when Cheetara just saw him as a friend and a duty.

Didn’t Cheetara as well? She looked beaming. I guess TyChee totally ships LiMyra :thumbsup:

You better believe it!

But he did, cos if I remember correct, Mumm-Ra activated his armour with the Spirit Stone and the Unnamed Stone, while Leo/Lion-O used only the Tech Stone to use his. But didn’t Mumm-Ra have a different set of Tech Stones (Other than the ones we know) or is it just me?

You’re kinda confusing me, but at this point Mumm-Ra has NO STONES WHATSOEVER in his possession. Therefore, he cannot use the armor. If he gets the tech stone he will be able to, and the same with Lion-O.

Ohh…I see now. Yeah. Still, may the lumas run rampant in the fics! Then again, if Leo and Panthera were able to have cubs (assuming they did), hybrids might be only a slim possibility. Which makes me think of a way Ben-Gali might be intro’d in the 2nd season (hopefully). They’ll all be like, “Hey Tygra, you look like you’ve seen a ghost!” And Tygra will say,“Uh, guys, I’m over here…”
Merged Post:

Cheetygra are happy for Lionyra (as I call it, cos that might be their future daughter’s name)!! Or at least happy enough to see Lion-O not be grumpy about them for once.
