Have and idea just how many 80s action cartoons there were? The mere fact that Thundercats is even remembered with any type of clarity shows it's lasting impression over things like Tigersharks, and Silverhawks and Bravestar and other compound word named shows that were on between 83 and 90'. But what may have worked for an older audience probably wouldn't keep the fruitfly-like attention spans of these kids today. I think from s business standpoint, it's silly to market your product to just children, especially something that may appeal to a larger audience. Doesn't say much because they like a lot of rubbish. I hate it but I think kids are going to love it. I think it looks horrible and that screaming thing at the end makes my eye twitch. I watched the opening, listened to the creators story, and I'm not impressed. But the moment they decided to reboot an existing franchise they opened themselves up to criticism. If the manufacturer puts out a representation of said product that fails to resonate with the consumer, it's the fault of the manufacturer. It's the manufacturers job to present their products and win over the consumer. It's not the consumers job to give a manufacturer "a chance". Or hell, VR Troopers (which we're still dope imo). It'd be like comparing Tattooed Teenaged Alien Fighters From Beverly Hills to any season of Power Rangers. But the second you call it "Thundercats" it's has to be compared to other iterations and I'm sorry, popular opinion says it's not measuring up. To be honest in a vacuum, the art from this intro is rather pretty.
But watch, yeah, why not? Should I watch effing Adventure Time instead (never seen a single frame of that. 2) I don't channel surf because there's is rarely anything on I want to watch, but if I were flipping through channels and came across either version of TC, yes the I would stop and watch.
What you consider to be "amazing" or not, is your opinion bro. It isn't.1) In the pantheon of 80s action cartoons you'd be hard pressed to find a list without Thundercats being somewhere near the top. The third step is to stop acting like Thundercats is some sacred ground. If the franchise is beloved, you'd best show respect to it for the older fans or risk a backlash like this one. not only did they keep the same spirit as the classic cartoon but updated for a newer audience, taking a very "A-team" vibe to it. I'd rather have more episodes of the 2011 version then this CalArts garbage.a lot of good reboots do this: respecting the original cartoon while offering a new take on the characters. This is why the 2011 reboot is still praised today, it took the best of ThunderCats lore and made an epic adventure story in the vein of Avatar: The Last Airbender. So that the ThunderCats universe at the end of Season 4 looked vastly different to what began in the pilot episode. You had multiple part episode arcs, some five episodes long, that advanced the status quo.
Yes, the 80s cartoon was largely standalone episodes with a loose continuity but the writers still worked hard to make something of that continuity.
On the contrary, ThunderCats is something were you need to respect the source material. (Not here, anyway.) A company put out an advertisement for a new product and a lot of us don't like it. No one is making death threats or other completely over-the-top statements. No one on this thread is saying anything stronger than "This looks like crap and I have no intention to watch it." No one is saying other people aren't allowed to feel differently. Why, you may even want to consider that crapping on other people's opinions happens to be firmly against the rules of an open forum. You may also consider accepting that people stating their opinions in an open forum are allowed to do so? It isn't.Or perhaps you could simply accept that you don't speak for everyone and that your opinions don't invalidate anyone else's opinion? The second step is to stop acting like if the original cartoon came out today you'd be watching it and marveling at its quality. The first step is to stop pretending Thundercats was some amazing cartoon.
