You need to see this episode. it’s really good. It’s entertaining at absolute least.
Sitting down to watch it now:)
Good, I hope you like it.
Okay, second viewing was better than the first, now that I knew what to expect. It really is just a very light, fun episode. I didn’t like Pumyra’s puffy face or the wacky face on that one guy, but at least that was just early on. The structure was actually pretty solid, and the animation during that fights was good.
I can kind of forgive Lion-O for using the love potion if he didn’t know exactly how it worked. He probably thought it would just make Pumyra open up a little more. The dynamic is very different between them than it was with him and Cheetara. Lion-O feels like he actually has to earn Pumyra’s affection, even if he doesn’t know the best way to do it. And that at least is some kind of character development.
I sort of like Ponzi and Lucy. I was afraid he’d be kind of like Tookit or the Drifter, where they’re these characters we’re meant to find fun and whimsical, but it doesn’t always work (I know one guy who really dislikes the drifter, and for reason I find pretty valid). Ponzi doesn’t annoy me. He’s got bad luck, and that makes him seem more human.
I am still kind of disappointed that it hasn’t returned to being more serious after Kit and Kat’s light fun adventure. This episode isn’t bad, but it’s just really average and doesn’t have a lot going for it. It’s not a very original episode either, but I have seen worse.
I think this is better than “Ramlak Rising,” at least.
I liked that Ponzi seemed to be a genuinely good guy, even if he makes mistakes. For instance he sells things without knowing exactly how they work, but every time he learns of a bad aftereffect he made sure it was put onto the warning label.
I liked it. Not one of my favorites, but still worth more than one watch.
Quick comments: The LioMyra romance was played humorously. I like that Lion-O loves Pumyra’s passion.
Doped up Tygra was funny, but I hate that it took him out of the action:( Also, I was expecting more from the whip.
Mum-Ra was defeated by a giant freaking butterfly:p
I really hope Pumyra isn’t going to become someone for Lion-O to save in all of the battles. She got some serious respect in the Dog city, so I don’t want to see her become Lion-O’s Mary Jane Watson or the Tcat version of Lois Lane.
I agree with some of the frustration. We only have a few episodes left, I wanted to something a little more focused on the search for the stones. Other than progressing LioMyra this episode didn’t really do much plot wise. Not that it wasnt fun. It was a lot of fun to watch 
Lion-O do you know what we call it when someone slips someone something to make them more open to advances?:mad:
Sigh,it was played comically but it…agh. I understand that you really like her, but you want her to like you for you. Not because she’s been drugged to believe otherwise. I know he didn’t mean to hurt her, but slipping something in someone’s drink is not ok.
I think he touts it as a miracle potion that can solve everyone’s problems. If he was a more honest salesman then he would have told everyone of its side-effects without having anyone to resort to reading the warning label.
Overall, okay episode, though entertaining in itself. Cannot wait to see HD screencaps of puffy-faced Pumyra and Tygra high/drunk on love potion. Waiting on the former so that I can use it as my avatar.
Three things:
-
I knew there’d be a comedy episode down the line.
-
Was anyone else reminded of Godzilla vs. Mothra when it came to the climax?
-
Did Mumm-Ra get his a** kicked by a butterfly?
I didn’t realize the Mumm-Ra/butterfly thing was a nod to the “Godzilla” franchise, and yes, Mumm-Ra DID get owned by a butterfly.
Yeah, I found the episode really entertaining and fun EXCEPT for this.
Especially since it was never called out as being a really terrible thing to do. 
To be honest, that’s kind of pathetic. Not the first that sort of thing happened though. Gigan got killed by a kamikaze Mothra in Godzilla Final Wars.
Pumyra’s face when Lion-O was fighting the monster was a replica of Cheetara’s face when Tygra came in with the tank in Into The Astral Plane. We can also add in Tygra’s face when Cheetara raced up that tower in episode 6.
Tygra’s line “Instead of fighting, why don’t we discuss our feelings” screamed Care Bears so the line makes it much more hilarious for me along with Mumm-Ra basically knocking him back.
I really laughed my head off in this episode. Pumyra’s big head was epic . and so was Tygra when he said “instread of fighting - lets tallk about our feelings!”
Other than that , the whole catapilar turning into a butterfly reminded me off pokemon or something XD and I was disappointed that the love potion didn’t work towards cheetarah …but the action sequences were AMAZING especially the one where lion-o avoided that monster . it just got andernaline running in my blood like this show used to .
This episode was hilarious! 
My best friend and I laughed when Pumyra got squirted by the flower, and when Tygra was affected by the love potion. The nod to Ponzi schemes was interesting, and the only thing I wish didn’t happen is the romance between Lion-O and Pumyra (Why, oh, why???).
When Panthro said, “If you can’t beat them, run them over,” it was awesome!
I liked:
We finally see another race from the OS Thundercats.
Godzilla and Mothra referance.
Lion-o doing classic scene from OS opening.
Tygra on love drug.
Actually good fight scenes.
Mummra using magic and transformation powers.
Sword of Omens using blue lightning from the point of the blade.
Lion-o giving the flower to Pumyra(and after effect).
Lion-o not winning a fight because of the spirit stone.
disliked:
No Wily Kit, Wily kat, or Snarf.
We really haven’t seen what Tygra’s new whip can do.
Pumyra’s face staying that way too long.
Still no character developement for Cheetara.
It was a funny episode, but I have to say I expected more from this episode. I didn’t expected this episode to be a filler.
Nevertheless I enjoyed this ep.
What I dislike was that Lion-o planned to use a love potion and wasn’t blamed at all for it. I’m not sure if Lion-o realized how stupid and risky it was.
Agree with you.
I don’t like that they have put Tygra out of action for the rest of the episode. He should have become normal again after Mumm-Ra knocked him back.
Anyone seen Tygra’s status on facebook?
“I refuse to comment on that episode”
That was so much like an original thundercats, I really loved it :D. Mumm-ra randomly showing up to kill them, some comic relief, Lion-o spoofing the original’s intro with the back-flip and everything!
Loved this ep!
Likes:
- Tygra was amazing.
- Lion-O’s backflip.
- Pumyra’s face.
- Panthro’s lines and no extendable arms.
- Lion-O putting elixir on Pumyra’s drink (I know I know.. but come on, it wasn’t that type. And it made him not look like a messiah for a change.)
Dislikes:
- No Kaynar.
- Too much Peter Parker / Mary Jane
- Enough with flowers already!
