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

LOL..When it comes to romances…i’m a fan of keeping the fans tortured until the very end .. It’s like in the X-files with Mulder and Scully..the moments of tension between the two characters where scattered throughout the 7 seasons ( i don’t acknowledge season 8-9 lol)..then they ruined it by having the characters get together and have a baby for two long torturous seasons, it just wasn’t the same after they got together..it was distracting the conspiracy angle of the story…Actually it was more like they had a baby..then got together (it was the xfiles)…
ANYHOW!
MY point here is ..I like them to drag the relationship out..have funny/cute moments of tension and then when it looks like the show is in its last season..have them finally get together…

Dragging them out is the best. It just makes me want to watch and see what happens more. I literally couldn’t sleep sometimes because shows did that to me, and it was awesome!

LOL I should get the DVD’s of the OS just for reference material.

You should. they’re epic in their own nostalgic way (I wasn’t even born yet in the 80s so I guess it’s not very nostalgic for me…)

Yes I want to see why the two would make a cute couple, before the couple becomes one. I want to see them grow and develop into better people as a result of spending time with one another. BOTH PARTIES, NOT JUST ONE. That’s ideal for me. It doesn’t have to take the whole series, though it should take a pretty big chunk.

Most relationships in cartoons are one-sided…it’d definitely be refreshing to have them both actually like each other.

Yup!! It makes the moment that they actually do get together even more spectacular…For instance, in the xmen comics..there are these mutant characters Rogue and Gambit.. Rogue’s mutant power is that she can’t touch anyone with out killing them…She has this great flirtatious relationship with Gambit. These two can’t get enough of each other..they fight..they flirt..and many many a times they are tempted to kiss..but Rogue pushes him away cause..you know …he’ll die…well..a moment in the comics came when it looked like the END of the world..and Rogue decides what the Heck..if i’m going down..i’m going down with a bang!! so she grabs Gambit and gives him the kiss of his life..and in my opinion it was one of the best Xmen kisses EVER!! Of course it turned out the world wasn’t ending and Gambit fell into a deep coma nearly dieing..but HEY!! They gave fans an awesome “this is it” moment to remember..

That’s what I would like to see for Pumyra and Lion O..one moment like that is better than seasons of holding hands, lovey dovey talk that we are surely bound to see with Tygra and Cheetara. Of course i’m sure the writers will tone it down..but..you know they are together and that romance is spoiled and will run it’s course (still crossing fingers for Tygra/Cheetara cubs…just saying they would be so cute LOL)

Now’s the time to show why someone would fall in love with Lion-O in the first place if they want to set up a romance for him. We got glimpses of it in “Native Son,” but we really need to see just how much he’s grown since the Trials.

I’ll admit that I’ve never been a fan of drawing out the awkward pre-romance for too long. It’s one of the things that bothered me about the X-files and X-Men. Eventually it got too ridiculous. If you like it than you better put a ring on it.

Wuh uh oh Sir_Sapphire!! lol!

I hope they just give them enough time to develop a relationship. Lion-O has matured, and I’m hoping in The Pit he’ll show even more maturity. I’m sure he’ll show some signs of caution due to his and Cheetara’s “relationship”. That will hopefully draw out the revealing of the relationship in a natural and logical way, and hopefully for your sake not too long.

I would not be opposed to him having to be beat over the head with the nature of her feelings before they get together though.

Haha that’s one way to put it! I’d be okay with that too.

We will see what happen.

LOL she’ll have to be very assertive to get through Lion-O’s doubts.

No kidding! I think anyone would be skeptical after that.

I hope Cheetara gets jealous of Pumyra. Being the other felmale of his age she must think who is this cat? Then cat fight. They should not get along at first.

I think that’s a good idea, or maybe this:

Cheetara is supposed to watch over Lion-O, right? Maybe she gets a little overprotective of him and sees Pumyra as a threat due to her first impression. It’d be interesting. It wouldn’t make Cheetara any more of a flirt towards Lion-O, and it’d be a cool twist. Just another possibility. Some tension between her and Cheetara would be so interesting.

Overall, I’m 100% towards Lion-O being with Pumyra. When first impressions aren’t the best, they usually end up together (Kid Flash and Artemis on Young Justice). I’m sure the writers will make the story interesting whether they hook up or not, but all signs show that they most likely will.

That is a good idea.

Now I really wish someone would get some preview clips up so we can see what she looks like.

What would be surprising is if Pumyra was romantically interested in Panthro! :smiley: (I’m not serious about this…yet.)
