Series has failed at 1, will probably fail at 2.

Have we seen Panthro do anything other than be on a poster yet? I mean, he still has time to ride a tank and be awesome.

Remember the He Man Remake? yeah...

Also i get a HUGE "Avatar" vibe out of that trailer...

But can we please focus on the actual important issue in this?

The new Cheetara, Hotter than the previous. yes or no?

Also, Why she looks like a Naruto Shippuden refugee?

also... WHY THE FUCK IS TYGRA HOLDING A GUN!?

Cheetara actually looks pretty okay. A little young, IMO (same goes for Lion-O), but there's nothing really "wrong" with the design, even if it does look better for WilyKit/WilyKat with the thief thing going. Also, I think it's not covering less so much as it's a yellow spandex suit covered by shorts and a vest, looking at the racing stripes on her legs and comparing the yellow of her legs with the yellow of her torso.

It is great that the Bolo Whip and chucks are the same, but Tygra also looks too young in the face and oh, God, why is he dressed like a space marine JESUS CHRIST PANTHRO HAS AN UGLY BALD AND TOPKNOT AND SIDEBURNS AND IS DRESSED LIKE A BARBARIAN SAMURAI WHY DOES TYGRA HAVE A GUN AAAAAAAH!

Japan, why must you ruin my childhood? T_T

EDIT: I take it back: I guess from other art, Cheetara does, in fact, have a bare midriff, at least at some point. Here's hoping the stripes aren't some contrived belt apparatus.

Also, Gregness, yes, from a different pic, they totally made Panthro 50% bigger than the rest of the cast. But it's Japan, so while sad, no surprise there.

They've boiled the whole cast down to token, marketable tropes from the looks of it. Lion-O looks to the the stereotypical young hero, Panthro is the team beef, Cheetara looks to be a stereotypical thief, and Tygra looks like a tactical specialist. The Thunderkittens are shown in the trailer only as a flash wearing cloaks, so zero hints there, and Snarf looks to have been degraded into the Japanese "team pet."

The whole thing has gone "dark and edgy."

Excuse me while I go cry more.

Funny how that's exactly what they did

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?

And too boot, we have Genetic Modification Raping of a perfectly fine Childhood memory on top of the cloning...

Cartoon Network...you've gone astray. You must bring back the awesomeness that was Toonami! Than you will hopefully find your way again to good stuff.

What?

Unless there's a cloning plot somewhere in this new show, I think you just meme'd your post into incomprehensibility.

Well, yes, he was always the team pet, but not a Japanese team pet. He's got the entire gigantic sparkly eyes thing going there and looks about 10 years old, generously.

Our Snarf at least looked like an adult of his species. This new thing looks like it'll be replacing Ls and Rs with Ws.

at the risk of getting some flame hate, thats still a step up from saying your own name at the end of every sentence

Yeah, you may have to explain that one.

They have all the old characters but than changed it completely by mixing in what looks like stuff rejected from Airbender as someone said it had that look to it and they are right.

Leave it to Naga to completely ruin what I was saying though.

If that doesn't help...just blame it on the fact my brain is doing a full restart after seeing the trailer.
