Thundercats 2011: How it Would Have Ended with Dan Norton

>soundcloud.com/tcs2011int/cats2011-ros-revised

CROSSOVER TIME!

Out of everything, Lion-O/Wilykit as endgame is what threw me for a loop. Cute though.

Silver Hawks? As in the rock n roll in space cartoon?

Fuck yeah, with the latam intro too!

What a weird plotpoint to call back to. It really shows that they wanted to fix their problem of not having a strong overarching story by making the second season one clear storyline. What isn't clear is whether or not they were intent on fixing the issue of every character being a dickbag. Wilykit and Wilykat splitting ways makes me think they didn't, but potentially killing of Tygra shows that they wanted to kick a certain writer in the dick for sabotaging an entire season by making him the worst character, with Lion-O in a close second, because he never fucking learned anything.

That's a big post.

For You

Even if they could've fixed the character problem, people would still have to be convinced to watch it again, with how bad the rest of the show had been up to that point.

Exactly. Even this after-the-fact exposition of everything they wanted to do, 6 years after the series crashed, burned, and then got shit all over by the fans doesn't ring as sincere to me. 6 years is a long time to soak up all the criticism and then miraculously claim that the next season, which will never be made, would have been 100 times better and correct all the problems of the original. Executive meddling and toy company demands can only account for so much of what went wrong. The rest is on the creative team and the writers who made so many mistakes and stupid decisions that it effectively killed the franchise for another 30 years.

Seriously, how do you make a cast so unlikable?

still can't get over how good the animation for that opening was.

Some of the big 80s cartoons farmed out their opening animations to Japanese studios, if I recall correctly.

Oh I'm sure this was handed to japan, but even for the time it's pretty darn good. In the 80's japan still had the mind set of making pictures move rather than animating figures.

someone post the tree webm

Someone get this user a working shiftkey!

...

Shit, forgot to post this one, too.

user, you know you can post both of them in a single post, right?

I know, I forgot to post them together in that first post.

Oh yes, this show.

Come on, you can do better than posting the same three WEBMs that have been spammed to death in every Thundercats thread. The show had WAAAY more hilariously dumb shit in it than that.

Truly this is the worst timeline.

Hopefully that Tygra fanboy doesn't appear to shit it up again.


Man that would have been so shitty. I liked Pumyra and I was so disappointed when she turned out to be evil.


There would have still be enough time before 2014, but not now anymore…

eat glass

no way, how big was the time-skip supposed to be?

Name what you want me to webm, and I'll see what I can do.

It was a real disappointment. All that time spent making it out like she and Lion-O could be close and then, 'lol I work for Mumm-Ra' out of nowhere. I still don't get why she'd team up with the guy who destroyed her country and basically led to her death over the the guy who's trying to stop him.

Was Dan Norton /ourguy/ all along?

Found the newfag.

Found the sagefag.

Thundercats are deviantart-tier, they might not have snouts but they're still covered in fur, it's not too bad because the artstyle isn't detailed enough to properly convey this, but it's still gross when you think about it.
tl;dr They look like furry elves

Honestly it doesn't matter how a thing looks like, as long as its written well and consistent it shouldn't matter and the people who only focus how a thing looks like don't care for the product as a whole but just wants to cause shit. Not to say criticism shouldn't exist but art like this is nowhere as bad as you imagine. Unless you can draw yourself something better and write a better story or concept, the argument that something is deviantart-tier holds little water.

When I said deviantart-tier, I wasn't talking about the quality of the art, I was talking about them being covered in fur

Like it matters, its a cartoon.

But Cheetara stays with Tygra…

They're covered in fur because they are cats. It's an attempt to make them closer to the concept of what the Thundarans were supposed to be, as opposed to making them strangely colored humans who made a few cat puns.

Maybe the original idea was bad to begin with?

Well user, do you have any original ideas that would be better?

...

Holy shit, this guy is something else.

Isn't he the guy who picked up a fight with one of the fans over Tygra?

Could be. I've gone back and rewatched the original series and it's dangerously cheesy at times. The show was initially created to compete with other shows like He-Man and sell toys, so the concept wasn't initially as important as the toyetic qualities. Didn't stop them from trying their hardest to establish a world and a storyline and make the characters likable.

Goofy, yes. Bad? No. The premise might've been about cat looking men fighting a mummy, but it had an underlying message about the importance of making friends and helping others. The Thundercats were refugees escaping their doomed world and had to accept the strange and different people around them to survive. In the process, they made friends, turned enemies into friends, and generally tried to be the best neighbors they could be.

The new series just said "Nah, we want to be Avatar."

Wow. What a cunt

Wait is this the faggot that ruined the entire show over his hardon for Tygra?
If that's the case then this is some maximum bullshit.

The original idea of "let's make a show to sell toys" was kind of bad. It's putting the cart before the horse, if you ask me. Even still, the creative and writing team behind the show did their best to make the characters likable and the world interesting, even if it was extremely silly.

What did he mean by this?

user just fit everything into one post, but no this user was saying the Thundercats were deviantart-tier because of their art and I said otherwise.

are you the same butthurt autist that commented on it in the first place?

Hey Holla Forums

POZ THAT FUCKING NEGHOLE

do you have a life?

What? I can't say hello to Holla Forums while they derail a good thread with furry porn?

I'm sure the art director has his own private stash, considering he drew the little girl with the skimpiest outfit

10 years I think.


Well that bit about Mumm Ra's origins seems interesting. Always wondered what he was and what happened to humans in that universe.


I've been noticing this trend with other cartoons like Voltron recently.

I'm glad I have slow internet

Hello Dan, still butthurt that your Tygra-dicksucking got the show canned?

Do you really not understand how autistic you are for blaming everything on a board whose population most likely has little to no crossover with Holla Forums's?
I think you're the real Holla Forums shitter and you're projecting your faggotry tbh, because whenever you get back from a ban, or wherever you go when you stop posting, this board goes to utter shit until you fuck off again.
You probably weren't even a regular poster here before you decided to force this meme either, because the posts you sperg about are nothing new to this board.

THIS. THIS RIGHT HERE.
You. You are my nigga.

hey Holla Forums

I'll never understand why anyone thinks this shit is clever. Throwing out everything you've established for a shocking swerve rarely works out, especially when you keep fucking doing it. It just inoculates your audience against giving a shit about your story because nothing in it is ever going to matter.

Specifically on Deviantart too. They were probably thinking they were so hot shit trying to make Thundercats the next Avatar, that they completely forgot to hire co-writers to manage the community. Its not like they didn't have the budget either.

user, its so obvious that you're talking to yourself.

truth

I don't know why they write their shows with the intention of having several seasons. Most movies tell their stories in under 4 hours, why would they need more than 36 hours?

Because its a tv show, some can run longer than others, depends whos incharge and their over all plan is. Or if the toys do well then it must continue, you're just bitching.

Pick one and only one faggot!

You have to come up with a better alternative or else you're not allowed to criticize
Also He-man

still butthurt that you got roasted when you revealed your fragile masculinity over Pumyra being tough and not a cute anime girl?

you gay

what the fuck, I don't think that time skip is a good idea.

They should have introduced the first pedo relationship in western cartoons.

user, your shiftkey is broken.

I MUST POZ WILYKIT'S NEGHOLE!

Hey Holla Forums

sweet new meme

stale old meme

wilykit is the girl

Like it matters to the lost shitposter, he only cares about two things. Getting back to >>>/fur/ or >>>/zoo/ and gay beast porn. But then again you seem no different.

is it a rule that shows with good animation must have shit writing, and shows with shit animation will have good writing?

No, there's plenty of shows with both shit writing and animation.

I wanted lion-o to kill everyone

A better one was, a show with a good opening is usually good, whereas a show with a bad opening is usually bad.

I would say the reason for that occurring is that Avatar is a good benchmark for a western written, anime style, long story arc driven animated series. On top of that it was also able to supposedly pull in a 50/50 sex split audience and a wide age viewing group. While Avatar:TLA isn't perfect (I can't think of any western animation that is personally) it is a very good example of what can be done. Not going to mention Korra's much lower quality, while TLA was out long before the 2010 Thundercats started production

Whatever you say, Danny boy.

Nah, there's still too much Tygra dick-sucking and terrible decisions like Insect Pumyra to be a complete "fix". I remember some of these ideas were being discussed years ago. This is just the first time they were put in a coherent, detailed recount.

Stay mad, Lion-O-Fags. Tygra/Cheetara is best couple.

Seriously though, did Cheetara and Tygra even have a proper conversation prior to this kiss?

just imagining your chuckling overweigh body shaking as you edited together that screencap expecting some epic replies from Holla Forums to defend you

well, it helps to know there's people more pathetic than me, that's all I'm saying

Requesting, the Lion-virgin vs the Chadgra

If you believe the show, they knew each other as kids but otherwise? No.

Keep sobbing into your Cheetos, Dan.

keep racking up those ebin (you)s, I'm sure they'll validate your pitiful existence eventually

On the one hand 1/10 shit bait, on the other hand you got me to respond. So, congratulations?

This shit is VINTAGE.
