WonderCon 2011 - ThunderCats

I am pretty sure they will premiere the entire first episode (if not first 2 episodes) at Comic Con in July. I cannot wait for July! :thumbsup:

Aw I was hoping July would be the Cartoon Network Premire! :frowning: Sigh Oh well.

Oh it will be! But I’m sure they’ll have a sneak peek at Comic Con where they show 30 minutes to an hour of the series. They did it with MOTU 200X and Wolverine and the X-Men. With Wolverine and the X-Men, they showed 3 episodes!

Yeah auto correct struck again! It was Snarf, and I didn’t even notice the auto correct error until you pointed it out. I Posted a more detailed version over there, and am going to try and get the pics up too if I can.

Thanks for the informative breakdown! That’s exactly what I wanted to read.

Tho one question I wish was asked would be a clarification on wither Tygra and Lion-O are biological or adoptive brothers. But oh well. We’ll find out when the show starts.

And Yay on the 26 episodes! I hate it when shows only have like 13 episodes and try to call it a ā€œseason.ā€ And love that there’s a long story arc. Makes me imagine the story will be much richer than the standard ā€œbad guy of the weekā€ shows.

This pic gave me goosbumps. It really reminded me of the beginning of the original opening.

And this one intrigued me… Looks like a man with Lots and Lots of swords on his back… Hachiman maybe? shrugs

Credit for those pics of course goes to Astrokreep. :smiley:

Haha, for the credits I just meant in case someone that runs a news or blog site wanted to use them. And I can’t believe I forgot to ask about them being brothers. On the way there, that question was on my mind. It somehow completely slipped away during all of the excitement.

It all sounds great, but why they had to mess with the music? I can understand trying to make it more epic, but they can certainly take some of the old music and still alter to sound orchestral. But I honestly don’t understand why some people think making things orchestral automatically means its going to better, when synth based music or electric music can be just as good. The main theme should remain in the series, not as a small cue but the whole piece, even if they have to make sound more orchestral.

Know what this whole thing is starting to remind me of? Escaflowne. Has anyone seen that? Its part fantasy, part sci-fi. And it starts with a young King who’s Kingdom is destroyed.

It’s really funny you say that, this whole time I’ve been comparing it to Escaflowne. The cats even remind me slightly of Merle.

They remind me of Naria and Eriya. The leopard-girl twins. [B]

Added:[/B] full breakdown on newsarama with actual quotes instead of paraphrasing for those interested. Tho it seems to end before AstroKreep’s breakdown for some reason. http://www.newsarama.com/tv/wondercon-2011-thundercats-panel-110404.html

I so hope that is Hachiman… I love the idea of him having more than one sword… And he is known as the traveler.. So that pics suits him…

:smiley:

I’m pretty sure that it is Hachiman. The silhouette looks like him + he was a character with lots possibilities. I’m already looking forward to the Lion’o - Hachiman fight :wink:

Wasn’t there a brand new villian mentioned a while back who would fight with many swords? I’d hazard a guess that’s him :wink:

Yeah… ā€˜the duelist’… as much as I want it to be Hachiman it’s probably this duelist guy. :frowning: I would’ve rather had Hachiman than a new sword-themed villian sigh

I wonder if it might actually be Mumm-ra in his powerful form and those are his bandages flowing in the wind. He does have a cape afterall :wink:

Actually, let me edit that and take it back, Mumm-ra seems to have bat-like wings. So who knows who it is.

Lol, thanks anyway Lynxana. :slight_smile:

I wonder if this duelist is the update to the Hachiman character? He might not even really be a villian, Just a rival to Lion-O that wants to take the sword of Omens? (Taking his opponents swords after he defeats them is his gimmick, after all.)

This is the first I’m hearing of this ā€œduelist.ā€ Where was this info from?

He doesn’t seem to always have wings. The 4" toy had them, but the bigger 6" one didn’t. I imagine he grows them when he needs them. shrugs

Loved the pics of the cast and Larry Kenney from the con as well. Just seeing the pics of him is so awesome! Hopefully they’ll be more pics on facebook of the panel as well!

I can post some pics of him from the panel later. I have a handful that I haven’t uploaded yet.
Merged Post:

I was hoping it was him too, but I forgot about The Duelist. Sadly, I think it will be the Duelist instead. (Unless Duelist turns out to be Hachiman? Can we hope?)
