ThunderCats Episode 26 “What Lies Above, Part 2” Preview thread (NOW UPDATED WITH PREVIEWS!)

Let me go over your candidates:

Dobo: Eh, I don’t know. I don’t think him going evil would pose enough of a threat for it to even matter.

Vultaire: Along with the ancient spirits thing, he’s shown himself to not like the cats, and if you watch the previews he DOES, in fact, become their ally.

Pumyra: She’s suspicious, for sure, but I think Vultaire is a much more logical suspect. She got captured by Mumm-Ra easily because he surprise attack her. Anyone’s biggest vulnerability is the things unknown to them. Yes, she’s somewhat manipulative, but everyone is acting as if her determination is something completely new and never seen before (which it is absolutely not). If she is the traitor, I think she’ll have a change of heart, because she does seem rather attached to Lion-O beyond what we normally see in stories with double agents. If I’m wrong I guess I just suspected wrong. It won’t make me hate the series.

Snarf: Absolute 100% possibility. That little vermin has been sneaking around the whole season. If it is him, I hope they eat him for dinner after frying him on the top of the Feliner.

  1. She didn’t escape from Mount Plundarr, she was sold.
  2. We don’t know how many fights she was in, it had to be a decent number for them to be advertising her fights but that doesn’t mean it was anywhere near the required 100 for freedom.
  3. It’s already been established that Mumm-Ra can effortlessly beat the snot out of anyone not named Lion-O.
  4. Attempted manipulation, not that it’s ever really worked.
  5. Damn straight it’s Snarf. It’s revenge for the “Butterfly Blues” incident!

Fingers crossed!!

We should start a Snarf General Hatred/Suspicion Thread! By the way your points are right. I think people should stop jumping to conclusions so quickly. I don’t care if they end up being right.

He’s defending his city. I don’t see any reason to look too much into them fighting alongside one another. It’s about survival at that point.

If she is the traitor, I think she’ll have a change of heart, because she does seem rather attached to Lion-O beyond what we normally see in stories with double agents.
I’d love to see her redeem herself somehow if she is the traitor.

Ah, my bad. It’s been a while since I’ve seen “The Pit”.

  1. We don’t know how many fights she was in, it had to be a decent number for them to be advertising her fights but that doesn’t mean it was anywhere near the required 100 for freedom.
    Didn’t Dobo say beating Lion-O would be her last fight that would earn her freedom? The advertising and Dobo’s admiration of her skills made me think she was almost done.
  1. It’s already been established that Mumm-Ra can effortlessly beat the snot out of anyone not named Lion-O.
    Eh, the Thundercats have been able to at least hold their own for a little while fighting him. Getting instantly captured is a little too much.
  1. Attempted manipulation, not that it’s ever really worked.

Just the fact that she’s attempting it makes me suspicious.

Hey, I’m just working with what I’ve been given. Nothing wrong with speculating.

Dobo: No way! After what Panthro told him about why he had to avoid the blimmin’ death match, he cannot betray his friend. Panthro’s had enough frenemy business already!

Vultaire: My kingdom for the bet that HE’S the darn betrayer.

Pumyra: It’ll be like Doyle from Secret Saturdays (Who just happens to be voiced by Will Friedle himself) getting betrayed by Zak’s former (hot) nanny. That…and it’ll be a hard blow to my shipper’s pride (THERE, I said it!!)

Snarf: facepalm

I still think she’ll have some change of heart over Lion-O being so kind to her and saving her life 4+ times.

Or I hope that it’s an indirect betrayal, where Mumm-Ra just has to hypnotise her. After all, he’s attracted to the sadness and emptiness inside her personality.

And Mumm-Ra is known for tricking people into thinking they’ll survive easier by following him.

I’m honestly hoping she is the traitor and does have the change of heart, because it probably will lead to that kiss we’re expecting!

Exactly. The show has no problem with torturing shippers. Ask any L/C fan out there. :smiley:

I still torture them myself!

FORGET PUMYRA I NOW KNOW WHO THE BETRAYER IS!!! SNARF!! yes…it’s about time the creators of NS finally fulfill fan fantasy and destroy Snarf once and for all!

Perhaps while bird city is falling to the ground. Similar to the Leo/Panthera kiss? :wink:

I don’t care how it happens, I want to see it happen! After how Generator Rex never got shipped properly (ahem Agent Six and Dr Holiday), I want it!
Merged Post:

THAT was a blow to my shipper’s pride too, but at least I got over it!!
Merged Post:

Booyah! Like great-great-great-you-get-the-idea grandpa, like grandson!

I’m sorry but I knew they would never hook up. She was too old and calm for him.
Merged Post:

And the similarities list between Lion-O/Pumyra and Leo/Panthera grows!

I did have a gut feeling about how tall she was though. And I was just so sorry for Lion-O. Plus, hmmm, Leo/Panthera. If they make a 2nd season, I wanna see a flashback of them surviving after crashing 3rd earth.

There are 100+ decent fanfics about that. I would suggest reading them!

So in the finale we have…

Assault on bird city.
Lion-O/Mumm-Ra confrontation.
Betrayal.
The Kittens bringing help.

Man, that is a lot to squeeze into 22 minutes. Again I’m left wishing they handled they second half of the season better. Hell, if they established bird city earlier/better I would actually know what it is called.

It’s Avista. And I kinda like how they gave Vultaire a Brit accent.

It’s called Avista. It’s mentioned several times. They did a rather decent job on Between Brothers of cramming a ton into 22 minutes, along with episodes like Legacy and Native Son.
