I heard that many are against this cartoon because of the credits list professional psychologists. Why is that bad or evil? It is not devil worshippers or occultists or atheists?:eek:
I’m not against the old “ThunderCats” series, not a bit. I think having a psychological consultant was a really smart move on the crew’s part. I think a lotta '80s cartoons had a psychological consultant also.
The only objection I can recall was to Mumm-Ra specifically, since he’s a “demon priest”. I feel like Peter Lawrence has mentioned it now and again in interviews.
I’ve never heard objections to the psychological consultant. The only conservative angle I can think of would be that children’s television shouldn’t moralize at all—that it amounts to entertainment writers or smug academics brainwashing children without their parents’ consent—the same sort of mentality that some parents who home-school their children have about public schoolteachers.
I never understood that mentality, though, since attentive parents have far more influence over their child’s attitudes than do external figures. That said, you could probably argue that I was raised by two parents and Jaga the Wise. Not exactly a bad thing. 
The series pilot for the show called Mumm-Ra a “devil priest.”
I think one of the problems is that people take things way out of context and try to apply meanings and interpretations that were never intended by the creators. I’m sure that the writers of the show never intended to offend anyone with Mummra as a demon priest; however, the show needed a villain to succeed. They had to find some way to indicate that Mummra was the bad guy and no matter what somebody would have inevitably found an issue with his character. A similar phenomenon occurred when I was still living in Spain. Several religious groups in the country wanted to ban all of the Harry Potter books for promoting witchcraft. They were so caught up in this nonsense that they failed to see that the stories got a new generation to read, which seems to be something that many people no longer do.
This is especially true of religious people, who will always hold their holy books up as a yardstick, whether praising or panning something.
In the former case, they’ll say that the show/book is “just like the bible” - or whichever holy book they read.
In the latter case, they’ll claim it’s defaming their holy book.
But that’s religious fanatics for you.
