Out of absolute boredom & trying to find something to watch, I started searching for some where to watch ThunderCats online. Then I came across THIS

Hard to say from a short preview if it's gonna be decent, but it looks less cheesy than the old 80's version. I'm liking that they got Larry Kenney (the original Lion-O) to voice King Claudus

Anybody else gonna watch this when it comes out in July?

[Isamu]

With it being on cartoon network, I will probably watch it.

[Keans]

I been wiating for this forever!!! Well since last year anyways.

You migth see some Thundercats cosplay next year!! =D

Its a completly revamp story. Lion-O wont jump from being a kid to and adult like he did in the original, instead he is gonna be a Young Adult, who is still immature. Tygra was given a gun and more personality, now he is some kinda of mercenary veteran or something. The series is also meant to be darker than the original so if its anything like the comics then its gonna be good.

Quote

Sam Register (Teen Titans, Ben 10) will be the executive producer and is joined by Michael Jelenic (Wonder Woman, Batman: The Brave and the Bold) and Ethan Spaulding (Avatar: The Last Airbender) as the producers for the series.

It seems to have some good producers so I expect it to be a good series.

[rondo]

Gonna be watching this for sure.

[tatterpillar]

Is it just me, or does the new Lion-O look like a wussy?!

[STVO]

Saw an ad yesterday, I'll check it out.

[rondo]

Each time I see the promo, I get the feeling that snarf was designed with Ryo-Oh-Ki in mind.

[Keans]

Probably. Did you now he wont be talking in the new series? They wanted to make him cuter and less annoying so he will talk but it will be in cutesy animal way that only Lion-O understands. He will still say snarf tho, but they are letting the japanese studio that is makeing the cartoon do the voice for him.

I am both happy with this and worried that we are going to get a He-man treatment, where they cancel it. ><

[Scott]

I remember being a fan of this show as a kid. This new one should be worth checking out.

With Cartoon Network involved, it is EXTREMELY possible. They usually happen to suck that way.

They are revamping Thundercats because there is a Live Action Movie that is coming out. They are using similar graphic interfaces as Avatar so the if I recall everyone is motion captured.
Here is link to a snip I had found a couple months ago:

They showed the original series on Saturday on CN and from time to time, that theme song plays in my head.

Im belive that is fake... maybe fan made? Not sure. But I dont think that is actually happening. Didnt really like the character design anyways.

[Neko_master_Luna]

Not really, they seem to have great talent abord and I read a transcript of their panel at one of the cons. They seem to be really into this and makeing the series right.

For example I liked how the involved Studio 4*C which is a pretty talented studio that has done some great animations.

[Keans]

WOOT!!! Serires Premier night, I wasnt able to catch it on its first run but luckily I found it online. =D

Anyways I sall post my thoughts on this new series.

OMG!!! They actually manage to make Snarf cute!!!

Spoiler

Hmmm… Tygra is kind of a jerk, I kind of like his new personality but at the same time I don’t. He is kind of arrogant, but here is hoping he will outgrow that immature phase. Actually the whole cat society was kind of arrogant to a pint, which makes it almost seem like they got more or less what they deserved. The lizard people are more or less put in a better light, more of an oppressed race rather than the evil savages of the old series. Its really a lot of gray rather than the whole black and whiteness of the old series which isn’t really all that bad, kind of like it actually. So far the story is pretty good, though I must say the story did feel somewhat rushed but I’m hoping they will slow it down now that they have gotten the intro out of the way. (Should have made it an 2 hour series premier!! xP) Oh and talking about intros I can’t wait to see what kind of intro the came up with for the series, the original intro was one of my favorites so here is hoping the don’t screw up >_<;;

[Isamu]

Would have liked it better if the feed didn't keep screwing up.

[Femme Fatale]

Saw the premiere last night and it was good .

[The Fujoshi]

Going to check this out, late I know.

It seems better than the remakes of Transformers and I was always a big fan.

[rondo]

Liked the drifter in the most recent episode (a week late). Lion-O sure is eating alot of humble pie as of late.

[Scott]

I've been watching this show on the cartoon network website. It's awesome.
