![]() ![]() Lion-O, physically aged by accident but still with the mindset of a teenager, must learn to be the level-minded ruler of his people. Yet what separated the Thundercats from the other cartoons of the era, from my perspective, was a focus on characters who make mistakes and develop from them. Being a kid of the 80's I was completely sucked in by the advertising gambit and am still paying for it financially all of these years later. Alongside these shows were the heavy marketing of franchise toys. The Thundercats was one of a slew of cartoons released in the 1980's which revolved around good versus evil tales where all problems were eventually resolved through the lead characters' fists, and a side serving of morals such as He-Man, Transformers, Silver Hawks and Voltron. So here I sit, a man obsessed with an aging franchise, balanced on a knife-edge of possibility. Turns out that my wonderful wife is not the fan that I am. I named our cat Lion-O, Lord of the Thundercats, and subsequently lost my next attempt to name our second cat Cheetara. Then, almost as quickly, I was overwhelmed by a dread fear what if one more sacred creation is ruined by the attempt to modernize it? What if the Thundercats becomes another shriveled relic, used, abused and tossed aside in the name of making a quick buck? I am one of those sad sad fanatics who still thinks about and quotes from Thundercats most days of the week. According to Dan Norton, Cheetara was set to have an episode in Season 2 that would have explored more of her backstory where she blames herself for not being able to save her grandmother from dying, and then her time as a Cleric where she would have had a run in with a fat Snow Leopard who was once a Cleric.Rating: 3 When I found out that I had the chance to review a remake of the classic 80's cartoon Thundercats I leapt at it.After her staff is broken, she is given a new staff by Viragor, which is even more powerful than her old staff.

Even though Jaga was impressed with her super speed, he told her that she had no patience, which is why she failed the test. Tygra took her to Jaga who gave her an initiation test which she failed.
