Update: 11/8/2011 - Extracted the 30 second lullaby from S01E10 for your enjoyment! Snag it from Here. Makes a spiffy ringtone!
[LEFT]I didn’t see a thread for the twins yet so here we go: Post your fan stuff here! I’ll start off with some art I found on the thundercrew blog over the past few days. Enjoy![/LEFT]
I really love the new incarnation of the ThunderKittens.It’s great because they start out in this series as rogue street urchins which is kinda how I always envisioned them. Dig the bushy tails they gave them too. I know it’s merely aesthetics but it totally fits their characters.
I hope that they start to go crazy in regards to their bag of tricks that they employ against their enemies. Personally I’d like to see them use hallucinogenic drugs on their enemies in order to terrify them with visions of horrors that aren’t there. That and I always loved on the TOS when they pop smoke and disappear during a battle. Like mischievous little ninjas! We need some more of that.
Regarding the bushy tails, I was really wondering why the kittens had tails and the others did not. If I recall correctly the thundercrew blog mentioned that they wanted to portray them in a less evolved form. So apparently there are different degrees of evolution even within the Thundercats society. I wonder if we’ll come across any other Thundarians with tails?
Actually me and several of the others from this board had a live chat recently with the Crew of Omens and we asked them about this. They stated that the tails had nothing to do with class or evolution as you put it. In the kittens’ case they said it was more of a design choice and I’d have to agree with them. When they jump around and such it makes them more kinetic.
The first picture - I don’t care for because it makes the kittens look more like a romantic couple than brother and sister. They also look like they’re more around age 13 than age 8.
The second one of Kit is pretty cute.
The third one - meh.
The fourth - I like the top where Claudus is hugging Lion-O and Tygra except that Lion-O and Tygra do not have tails. The Cheetara one is ok. Don’t like the twins - their faces look like they’re bleeding.
The fifth one doesn’t make sense to me.
The sixth one is freaky looking.
I gotta say I like the OS kittens a lot more than the new ones.
Like the IGN review said, WilyKat and Kit were kind of being c-blockers there. But the whole thing was so cute that it was funny.
I’ve always liked the twins. Something about their bond as siblings was something that I thought was kind of unique. I was always disappointed that they didn’t play that up in the original show. I also kind of saw them as “mischievous little ninjas.” (Although there was one fanfic writer who did stories about an adult Kat and kit that were pretty cool).
I really like the new twins in this show. Hard to say which one I was partial to, but I always liked Kit more. She was spunky, and I could easily imagine her being a party girl when she grew up. I like the hairstyle on the new one, though. Who the hell wears a beehive hairdo these days? Even by the '80s it was dated.
One thing I’ve noticed from studying the toyline is that both Kat and Kit have Spaceboards included. Apparently they will be getting those back sometime soon in TNS.
In some ways this new Kit and Kat are an improvement on the ones from the OS. They sound like real kids and tease each other like real siblings. Also, the recent episode gave their best lines. “Why pick a key when you can pick a lock.” I’m betting the Clerics who set up this trap didn’t think of this solution.
I never thought her hair looked like a behive. At least I never saw a beehive go to a point. Her hair was like Lion-O’s, just with a stripe.
Maybe in this series, the berbils were the ones to build the space boards.
My theory is that they received a prophecy regarding a hero who would rise above all others, or whatever Jaga said in the pilot. And in that prophecy, it was seen who his companions would be, so each obstacle was set so that each of them would have to figure out a solution. They created the first obstacle knowing the kittens were cunning and would figure it out.
