ThunderCats Episode 14 "New Alliances" OFFICIAL TALKBACK THREAD

It was interesting to see how people were eagerly waiting for this episode. But now that more people have had a chance to see it, there is a lot of negativity around it, and that makes me sad. :frowning: Are people looking for perfection in a series that exists in an imperfect world?

Fanboys are crazy y’know. People still dont understand/get this thing about Tygra, Cheetara and Lion-O which just makes me wanna facepalm T_T

How could I forget about the fanpeople? :duh: :smiley:

Hahaha, such a crazy bunch.. It’s almost the same as when you see people fight over their religion :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m enjoying it, especially when it comes to the ‘upped-stakes’ I even liked the whole surrender/don’t surrender thing, a lose-lose either way, there’s a lot of grey area in the show even with the characters and I love that it creates realism and debate. Most of the issues I tend to see with people not liking the show are based on their ideas of what they feel Tygra and Cheetara are supposed to be like can’t tell you how much some individuals can’t let go of the fact that Tygra is completely reimagined personality wise and Cheetara isn’t so much a mindless ‘yes man’ as we originally thought, I think it’s safe to say we really don’t know very much about Cheetara besides her stand on her relationship with Tygra and Lion-O and hopefully we’ll get to know her more. I think it’s pretty insulting that people think just because Cheetara’s affectionate to those she cares about that she’s a ___tease (and sadly that’s the kindest way I’ve heard it put), some people are just that affectionate without any romantic intentions and I’m pretty sure Cheetara made it clear she didn’t know anything about the rivalry for her heart until she heard about it at the end of episode 13 yet Lion-O was allowed to label her his already, basically just short of marking her, and THEN get in a twist upon finding out she’s just not into him even dismissing their relationship just because he misread her, again NOT her fault he didn’t ask.
But back to my point I’m loving the series, not always agreeing with some things going on in it but that would make the whole thing pretty predictable and goodness knows I hate predictability.

I’ve been in this Thundercat fandom since 2004…the fanboys and fangirls remind me of Leonard, Sheldon, Howard and Raj from the Big Bang Theory on how they talk about superheroes. LOL You would be surprised of all of the arguments I’ve seen in my time here online. I’ve actually seen a few fangirls that would actually get close to a nervous breakdown if they didn’t get to write their OC (original character) as being with Lion-O as a love interest in an RPG. One girl comes to mind in particular.

ROFLMAO I was actually killed off in an old RPG behind my back because I made fun of it. LOL this is why whenever I would play the role of “Lynxana”, an old Tcat comic character, I would never pair her up with anyone just so I could avoid this LOL. But Lord help you if you stand between a rabid fangirl and her Lion-O LOL!

I don’t RPG anymore because of the fandom wank LOL :wink: Now I just sit back, enjoy the show and read the fandom comments.

I’m sure there are very few here that expect the series to be perfect. We nitpick and dissect the show to death because we love it. It’s what we do, we’re the hardcore Thundercats fanbase. :wink:

You say that like there’s a difference between a geek pop-culture fandom and a religion :stuck_out_tongue:

Hahaha LOL (i love how many times you used that word, LOL)

I know the feeling really, been the same for me regarding Pokémon and other anime shows. Just gets crazy but that’s almost the beauty of it in my opinion :wink: That people can love the show SOO much.

HAHAHA, you made me ROFL so hard :smiley: :cool:

Fanboys and girls have their knickers in a twist because the show doesn’t conform to their personal canon.

I was discussing this episode on another board, and there were guys calling for Cheetara’s blood. Like, seriously. They want to see her murdered on-screen by Lion-O. Those kinds of “fans” disturb me.

btw…where the heck are the previews for tomorrow’s episode?

None has arrived yet. Might be the first time we wont get them.

Or.. For those who read the spoilers when it aired in ireland… Maybe they had trouble putting up a preview which seemed decent? Yet again think about what’s going to happen in that episode, yet again for those who read the spoilers.

I was wondering the same.

Would you mind giving proof from the posts on thundercats.ws? And i’ve seen worse things on here in episode threads than on there.

Does anybody know where Slithe got that ThunderCat symbol from when he showed it to Kaynar?

The ruins of Thundera?

It very well could be.

I imagine he got it somewhere in Thundera when it was destroyed.

Interesting though that the symbol is on that, but not the team’s outfits because that looks like it’s from someone’s outfit.

Was not the symbol suposed to make an appearance on them later on? Might be from a Thundercat who had the “rights to the symbol” if you know what i mean.
