Drifter Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Couldn't find a thread just about them. Now the cartoon network is doing a remake. We actually get to see Thundercat society?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Hakujin Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 (edited) I approve of both of those video clips. I'm digging the Lion-O armor designs, but not so much his new face and hairdo--too anime in style for me. Also, not a fan of mutton-chops on Panthro.... Snarf? Snarf!

APANCHALYPSE RETURNS Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Now that I'm looking at these pics, it looks like Dragon Ball meets Pokemon. I still wanna see this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iambaytor Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 It's good to see that James Lipton's song made it into this variation, albeit all orchestral. This looks even better than the He-Man revival Cartoon Network did a few years back, of course it helps that ThunderCats was a pretty good show on its own merits.

Maldron Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 See, I remembered it being good, but then I watched it as an adult. It did not age well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 See, I remembered it being good, but then I watched it as an adult. It did not age well. Yes, but compare it to any of the other popular cartoons of the 80s: Transformers, GI Joe, Voltron, and especially He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. Thundercats aged a hell of a lot better and at least took itself halfway seriously when Snarf shut his annoying goddamn mouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drifter Posted April 6, 2011 Author Share Posted April 6, 2011 I own a few VHS tapes of the original G.I.Joe and I dare say it aged very, very well... However the series does get weird right before they made the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thelogan Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Voltron is indeed rather lame when watched as an adult, Go Lion, on the other hand...is actually pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maldron Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 See, that's satire of the way rock bands behaved, turned on its head by being what cobra commander wanted. And yeah, I watched the first episode of Voltron and couldn't stop laughing. In Golion, they return to earth to find that the entire population has been wiped out. In Voltron, they return to some remote planet, and remark how lucky it is the entire population has moved safely to their underground bunkers.

I think you're looking way too deep into GI Joe, the show was outright retarded and even made Transformers' low-points look good by comparison. Also, could someone please explain to me how the whole G-Force/Gatchaman/Battle of the Planets thing works? I watched G-Force when I was a kid, got told it was called Battle of the Planets when I was a teenager, and now there's Gatchaman. Was G-Force/Battle of the Planets another one of those things where they taped several Japanese shows together into a new one like Power Rangers and Voltron, or was it something else?

Thelogan Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Here's how I heard it, if I recall correctly. Gatchaman was the original series from the 70's, they did a butcher job on it and released it in english as Battle of the Planets, then they came along in the 80's and did a more "faithful" version of the same thing and called it G-Force, but it was still a hack job (just not quite as much as BotP). Eagle Riders fits in somewhere in there, but I'm not sure where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maldron Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 And you're remembering fondly a show where in the final episode, Snarfer uses a magic oar to turn a turtle into an island and a log into a swan boat. :p We all have blinders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no, I have no blinders, Thundercats was ultra lame, it was just considerably less lame than anything else going on at the time. Micronauts, She-Ra, He-Man, Voltron, Speed Racer, G-Force, Sonic the Hedgehog, Transformers, GI Joe, etc. Thundercats at least took itself halfway serious and never did anything like having the bad guys try to take over the world by building a series of burger joints with rockets for logos which they then intended to fill with ICBMs and use to take over the world. (Hello Cobra, if you have ICBMs then why the fuck are you even building the burger joints?) Mumm-Ra was pretty lame but standing next to fucktards like Cobra Commander and Skeletor he was fucking terrifying, though admittedly he was no Lord Zed.

Maldron Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Power Rangers was awesome, yes. From your point, I'd agree. There were a lot of roundabout plots back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Hakujin Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Is anyone watching this? It's three episodes deep (four if you count the premiere episode as two) so far and pretty damned good. It's similar in tone to Last Airbender in many ways. Although it's not nearly as high quality as Airbender, it has potential and really surpassed my expectations, which wasn't hard as I wasn't expecting much. I definitely recommend giving it a look.
